CUTLER PROTOCOL TESTIMONIAL: SARAH
My son was diagnosed with moderate to severe autism a couple of months before he hit age three. He did some early
intervention therapy and almost a whole school year at his developmental preschool, with little change. In fact, he seemed
to be getting even further behind his peers. When we first discovered Andy Cutler’s chelation protocol, we were hopeful
but also very skeptical. We started my son’s first round of chelation the day after school let out for the summer. Although
(looking back at my notes) I was noticing changes even within the first day, I brushed it off at the time as coincidence
and figured I must be “reaching.” Surely it couldn’t be working that quickly. By my son’s second round, he started saying
stuff he had never said before. This was when I realized there might be something to this protocol. By the third round, he
started interacting with the neighborhood kids, and he suddenly was formulating questions! “Want this” turned into “Can
I have this?” By round five, he suddenly developed an imagination out of nowhere. Previously, he would sit and fixate on
a toy for hours while rocking back and forth on the floor. He also would spin wheels and stare at the wheels turning. He
preferred to be alone. One day, I heard him yell in the other room, “Moooooom! Where are you?” That alone amazed
me, but when I rounded the corner to see what he wanted, I realized he was playing with his toy mom, and her toy kid
was talking to her in his play. By round eleven, he was playing with his sisters, not just next to them, and the “Wh” ques-
tions started. “Where is daddy?” ”What is that?”
When I had first discovered the hope of biomedical intervention, I told a friend that I would be happy if I could just
get my son to a point where he could ask a question—and here I was, eleven weeks in, and my ultimate goal had already
been met. We just finished round twenty-eight. My son is a different kid. We can now go to restaurants. That is amazing,
considering that six months ago my husband and I had agreed that was probably not in the cards for us ever again because
our son would completely melt down with sensory overload. Now, I don’t have to pull the car over every five minutes to
pull my son’s pant legs back down (because when they hit higher than his ankle it would completely freak him out).
He’s answering open-ended questions now. It takes him some time to process them, but I can ask him what he wants
for Christmas and he will say “I want presents, mommy.” He’s making huge cognitive gains, can follow directions and sleeps!
He used to wake at three in the morning and wandered the house aimlessly every night. Now, if he wakes, it’s typically
to go to the bathroom, grab one of us to lie with him (which he wouldn’t do before) and then fall right back asleep. His
teachers are commenting that he’s excelling. Oh, and he tells me he loves me. I could go on and on. My son’s expressive
language is just a couple points outside of the average for his age now. If he were to be evaluated now, I believe he would
probably fall more into the high-functioning category. We still have years to go, but considering we are only six months in
and have a brand-new happy kid, I’d say we are on the road to recovery.
