What's in a Miracle

So as you can tell for years I have been thinking about things I should write about and not writing. So while I am still thinking about it I thought that I might write about AMAZING things I hear about or see in the world. Call it GOD, Call it Nature, Call it Medicine, or Call it Technology I will leave that up to you.

This is a story about an Autistic child named Eli, his Mom Sonja, and my friend Lori. Lori is involved with a company (http://marketamerica.twi.bz/a) that provides natural supplements, which have seen amazing results.



Lori met Sonja and Eli through her husband who heard Eli's story and thought Lori might have some product to help. Here was the initial email exchange:
"The problems Eli has mainly are his speech, he does speak enough to have his needs met but there are a lot of things he is unable to say or understand. the speech he does have is kind of garbled so you might not know what he is saying if you don't know him. He has a few sensory issues, but not to the point that i am extremely concerned with them. he used to cover his ears a lot, but now only a little bit at night when he is going to bed. he is a very picky eater. he lives mainly on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, pizza, burritos, grapes. you never can tell. he will eat veggies if its on the pizza or in the burrito but would never touch something like corn or green beans. he does not drink milk, so he drinks juice and water. he does take a multivitamin gummy. he is not potty trained. at school he will go pee with his aid but has a hard time sitting on the potty at home. he does do a bit of hitting when i am around. no hitting at school or when he is with grandpa. at school they used a no hit card which worked but the cards don't work at home. he doesn't have any bowel issues. if there is anything i didn't touch on and you are curious please do not hesitate to ask, but i think Ive covered it"

Eli started OPC-3, Multi-Vitamin and Digestive Enzymes on September 1st, this is a product that has been researched and formulated for Autism. Following are a list of notes over the next month

Here is the first good text Lori got from Sonja on September 10th-

Doing good drinking it very well. I'm sure we'll see results he might be talking a bit more but I don't want to jump the gun.

Friday night September 18th Sonja called with the note from school which I will get from her saying how the teachers are pleased with him talking more etc.


Eli had another good day. it is great to see his smiling face and playing with the kids. He is using more words at school everyday! He went back for seconds on pizza and ate in the lunchroom. have a great weekend.

This week Lori emailed me: little autistic child's mom just called me and read me a note from the teachers at school. It read, Eli had another good day, it is nice to see him smiling and he is talking more and more!
This is an amazing story of a lot of things for me. Love, of a parent for a child and wanting to see him experience life free from the condition. Belief, a friend who wants to help and believes in a product that can help. Trust, of a child that can do nothing but. Me, who is just in a place of openness to want to see miracles in a modern world. I opened with attribute this to what you want, because to me it does not make a difference, as it is lives changing for the best. This child's life is being changed.
If you would like to know more about the product network with Lori http://marketamerica.twi.bz/b . She is a person that believes in miracles, science, helping people, networking, but most of all in bettering the world.
Lori thanks for helping me write something down.
