Decreased Symptoms for Autistic Brothers
Background: Aaron and Noah Nerswick, brothers both diagnosed with autism, began using DMSA for heavy metal removal in the summer of 2001. Aaron, the oldest at age 9, has high-functioning autism (Asperger’s Syndrome). Noah, age 5, has severe autism and as a result was nonverbal, had a total aversion to food, and had multiple sensory issues. Although the DMSA removed some heavy metals from their bodies, they also suffered several negative effects (including sleep problems, yeast problems, severe fatigue, and dark circles under the eyes) from the treatments. Kathleen Withey, the boys’ mother, first learned of PCA-Rx in December 2001 and in January 2002, the boys began using PCA-Rx combined with ionic mineral supplements. Since that time, both boys’ autistic symptoms have improved dramatically. Five-year-old Noah is now much happier and affectionate, considerably calmer, able to utter sounds and even small words, and now expresses interest in food; his teachers are even commenting on his progress. Nine-year-old Aaron is now also significantly calmer, more focused, interested in subjects common to his age group, more talkative, and interacting better with others. Urine heavy metal tests administered before and after using the PCA-Rx and ionic minerals (dates ranging from August 2001 to May 2002) also revealed substantial increases in the amounts of certain metals removed from the bodies of both boys through clathration.
