>Every time I see my son, I realize that I am witnessing a miracle.

>Willy's recovery from ADHD and childhood bipolar disorder in the past

>twenty-eight months (beginning in August 2004) has been no less than

>miraculous. Willy has gone from being severely learning impaired to

>making the Honor Roll twice. He also went from being nearly the

>weakest child in his class to the second strongest. Willy won four

>academic awards last June at the completion of ninth grade, to include

>the Principal's Award, which is the most prestigious award given.

>(Only four children out of over 200 received this award, from a school

>the third grade.

>

>Although Willy was diagnosed with ADHD at six years old, Willy was

>actually third generation bipolar (my mother, myself, and then

>himself). At six years old Willy said a few times " I think about

>suicide a lot " . And as young as six Willy could talk non-stop for

>over an hour with four people in a car, the rest of us hardly able to

>get in a single word edgewise. Willy's ADHD diagnosis was a

>misdiagnosis; he exhibited classic bipolar symptoms, just as my mother

>and I did for decades. (I became well naturally from bipolar disorder

>in the late 1990's.)

>

>However, none of this matters now! Not only did Willy overcome ADHD,

>he overcame bipolar disorder in himself as well. He now exhibits no

>ADHD or bipolar symptoms whatsoever, after having done so for about

>seven years prior to his using natural therapies. No more mood swings!

>Willy is one happy, stable, and content child. A teacher asked him

>last year " why are you so happy all the time? "

>

>The beauty of my son Willy's recovery story is that " he essentially

>cured himself " . I may have taught Willy what he needed to know, but

>as a non-custodial parent, I did not have the liberty to apply

>alternative medicine to my son, nor bring him to an alternative doctor

>for the same. I had to teach Willy beginning at age thirteen what he

>had to do to become well. However, he had to apply this knowledge to

>himself, with no one in attendance to help him while he did so.

>

>In regard to Willy's physical health, there have been many remarkable

>changes in the past two years. During his childhood he exhibited both

> " easy bruising " and chronic spontaneous nosebleeds, as well as had

>very soft teeth. He no longer bruises, nosebleeds are rare vs.

>common, and his teeth are much healthier. Willy's ability to avoid

>getting sick, his ability to tolerate cold temperatures, and his

>ability to heal from an accidental cut he might get are all remarkably

>better as well.

>

>Willy was also a very small child throughout his childhood vs. others

>his age. This is not the case today. He has grown about six inches

>in height in the past twenty-eight months and has gained about 60 lbs.

>as well. He has also gone from a sickly child that could barely bench

>press 60 lbs. in August 2004 to being able to bench press 240 lbs. in

>May 2006, 250 lbs. in June 2006, and 280 lbs. at the end of September

>2006. Willy can also leg press " over " 400 lbs. today. (Willy told

>told me that he can do this leg press four times, which means that the

>maximum weight Willy can for this exercise would actually be something

> " over " 400 lbs. Willy also told me that he exceeds (can do) the

>maximum weight on other exercise equipment besides the leg press

>such a short time (beginning in August 2004), with no parental pushing

>of any sort, but rather by his own free choice and by using his own

>self-discipline to do so.

>

>I did question my son a few days ago on how much time he actually

>spends lifting weights. Willy said he goes to the gym about 3 or 4

>times a week, and stays for only about 45 minutes or so. Willy also

>has a weight set at home, which he said he usually spends about 15

>minutes a day on. Willy is certainly not a kid that spends all of his

>time in the gym or at home lifting weights... that's for sure. Like a

>typical child in America today, Willy spends the bulk of his free time

>on video games, computer games, or watching TV. He is not working out

>all the time, or being pushed to work out by either of his parents.

>Willy just does what he wants to, as most teenagers do... but he also

>gets his homework for school done on time.

>

>A few months ago I questioned Willy on " what do you normally eat for

>breakfast, and he said " a bagel and cream cheese " (to which I said

> " Ouch! Can't you do better than that? Breakfast is supposed to be the

>most important meal of the day " .) And he is eating a standard

>(nutrient deficient) American diet (SAD) at home for the most part

>(other than more fresh fruits and vegetables than most his age), as

>well as he is eating standard (nutrient deficient) school lunches at

>school.

>

>Only recently (in October and November), after Willy had bench pressed

>280 lbs., did I get him any " standard weight lifting supplements " such

>as creatine and glutamine. Willy's amazing gain in strength, health,

>and wellness has come from probiotics taken daily, some reduction in

>allergic food exposure, some digestive enzyme use, baggies of

>supplements that he takes every other day or so, a multivitamin and

>some of the other baggie nutrient components on the days in between,

>and his own self directed exercise program at home and at the gym.

>Willy does skip taking baggies of supplements every day due to cost...

>as he knows that I just can't afford to " supplement him and heal him

>all the way, if money was no object " . (What a lesson the world is

>losing here, as the result of a lack of a few dollars that I just

>don't have.)

>

>Willy is admittedly still somewhat reading impaired. However, this is

>steadily improving, and it will hopefully no longer be an issue soon.

>Despite being reading impaired, Willy made the Honor Roll twice (the

>last two times he received his grades last June and this November),

>and he got an 89 and a 91 on his two New York State Regents Exams last

>year.

>

>How did all of this happen?

>

>It may have helped that I was Willy's father. In being his father, I

>was able to visit Willy often enough on weekends to be able to teach

>him what he needed to know in order to cure himself. As a

>non-custodial parent I could not control his diet, monitor his

>digestive or bowel health, or give him the supplements that he needed

>to take. The only way we could succeed is that I had to teach Willy

>to " become an effective doctor of himself " . (I estimate the total

>time I have used to teach Willy was about 50 hours in aggregate in the

>past two years… mostly given in snippets of conversations on the

>weekend while I was driving somewhere, usually on a " woods or creek

>adventure " , with my son. Much of the time I spent teaching Willy, I

>was simply continually harping on hidden food allergy and other common

>problematic gut issues, and teaching Willy how and why to cope with

>them over and over again.)

>

>I had another serious roadblock in my way in regard to helping my son

>Willy to become well. Due to the fact that my ex-wife staunchly

>believed in the medical model and I had no legal say in my children's

>health care decisions, this meant that for Willy and I to begin to use

>alternative therapies we had to sneak around my ex-wife to get away

>with this, or I could be taken to court. This situation sure put a

>restriction on how things are normally done supplement-wise. My son

>insisted at the beginning that we only use one supplement period

>(regime) a day. He was as scared as I was of being caught, as he knew

>how adamant his mother was against my suggestions to use nutritional

>and natural supplements. So we decided in late July of 2004 to do

>something very unusual supplement-wise. This was to combine over

>sixty capsules or tablets of a few dozen different supplements into a

>small plastic bag (we call this a " baggie " ), and take them all at once

>in order to minimize the risk of his being caught. In truth, Willy

> " invented the baggie " , not I.

>

>About five months after Willy and I began working together, Willy did

>get caught. Thankfully, by the time this happened Willy had already

>become so much better that my ex-wife wisely decided to let me

>continue to work with my son without any further interference.

>

> From almost day one Willy knew that the baggie of supplements that he

>requested and that I put together for him in the summer of 2004 was

>extremely helpful to him. He clearly felt better on the days he took

>his baggie vs. those days he did not.

>

>Almost half of the capsule count in Willy's baggies involved fourteen

>include one gram of tryptophan, one and a half grams of glutathione

>precursors, and some taurine.

>Willy's baggie also contained the key " brain braking " nutrient

>the single neurotransmitter (acetylcholine) that amino acids don't

>make. (I personally feel it would almost invariably be a big mistake

>for a bipolar person to take the amount of broad based amino acids

>that Willy and I do without taking carnitine and enough phosphatidyl

>choline as well at the same time. I also feel that it would be a big

>mistake for a bipolar person that is recovering naturally to ignore

>the tremendous therapeutic power of broad based amino acids, or to

>ignore the therapeutic power of certain individual amino acids as well.)

>

>Willy's baggie had an " off-the-shelf " multivitamin in it, one that

>contained many minerals as well. Additional capsules of vitamin B

>complex, vitamin C, vitamin E, calcium, magnesium, and zinc were added

>to boost the dosages of these essential nutrients, even though they

>were all in the multivitamin. (I felt the dosages of some nutrients in

>this multivitamin were inadequate for my son's needs.)

>

>Willy's baggie also contained capsules of the " good oils " of fish,

>flax, borage, evening primrose, cod liver, and coconut. In addition,

>it contained digestive enzymes, super blue-green algae, chlorella,

>spirulina, grape seed extract, quercitin, milk thistle, and later (as

>I continued to improved the baggie ingredients over time) alpha lipoic

>acid. (Willy's specific supplement regime will be widely posted to

>the Internet in December 2006.)

>

>Nutrients definitely seem to work in synergy with each other. As

>Adelle Davis alluded to decades ago, " give the body the full range of

>nutrient tools it may need to heal, and let the wisdom of the body

>(God? Nature?) do the rest " .

>

>Besides using baggies, Willy has been taking quality probiotics almost

>daily from August 2004. Probiotics were, and still are, a critical

>intervention for him.

>

>I am absolutely awed by my son's mental and physical wellness, and how

>relatively easy it was for him to effect such wellness on himself over

>the past few years. Willy sure seems " to set the bar " (the standard)

>for bipolar and/or general health recovery worldwide. And yet he

>tells me in regard to his recovery " Dad, what I did was so easy " (both

>of us are amazed at how easy it was).

>

>Willy belongs on prime time TV... what a story he (or he and I) could

>tell. Willy does not even have to say a word and he shows wellness...

>his aura is one of health and happiness for sure.

>

>Perhaps some day the world will appreciate what my brave son Willy did

>in regard to taking as many supplements as he has in order to cure

>himself of ADHD and bipolar disorder. Thank You Willy for trusting me

>when I told you that the baggie of supplements that I concocted in the

>summer of 2004 would be helpful to you. And Thank You Willy for

>accepting my guidance throughout your remarkable recovery journey to

>much better health.

>

>Unfortunately, Willy and I now realize that there exists a very

>substantial prejudice in most people at taking as many supplements as

>we regularly do all at once. Willy and I both know that this

>prejudice is in error. Taking many nutritional supplements at once is

>not harmful (assuming they are adequately balanced).

>

>This prejudice against taking many supplements all at once will

>probably be overcome in a little time. The truth here is that drugs

>affect people in small amounts (a tablet or two), while nutrition

>needs much greater physical mass to have adequate therapeutic effect

>(and thus sixty or more tablets or capsules may be needed to get " the

>healing job done " , as is the case with both Willy and I).

>

>For both Willy and I taking baggies is by far the most helpful

>approach in regard to us " curing ourselves " and staying cured (getting

>well and staying well). I cannot help but believe that some day it is

>perhaps inevitable that millions of persons will be saying the very

>same thing…. that " their baggies " of broad based nutritional

>supplementation have helped them tremendously in regard to their

>recovering their physical or mental health.

>

>However, please remember that supplements cannot do it all, especially

>if you continue to eat your allergic foods, you have too much candida,

>etc. poisoning you, or you lack an adequate amount of digestive

>enzymes in order to digest your food intake well. When dealing with

>ADHD or bipolar disorder, even if you use an alternative doctor to

>guide you, it is wise to learn all you can about the common

>malabsorptive issues of (1) hidden food allergy, (2) intestinal

>dysbiosis (candida, too many " bad bugs " , parasites, etc.), and (3) a

>lack of digestive enzymes, as these are the three most common

>malabsorptive issues that actually cause ADHD or bipolar disorder in

>the first place. Other health issues " that you can learn to fix in

>yourself better than any doctor can " such as leaky gut,

>detoxification, acidosis, hypoglycemia, environmental allergens, liver

>cleansing, kidney cleansing, possibly low stomach acidity, inadequate

>hydration, etc. may all also be worth learning about as well. (Sherry

>Roger's books, found on www.prestigepublishing.com, may be a good

>start as far as this learning is concerned. But don't just read her,

>many other alternative health authors have written great books as well.)

>

>Don't fall victim to the drug companies, due to the fact you lack a

>little bit of knowledge that you could learn by yourself. And don't

>fall victim to medical doctors that do not understand the therapeutic

>use of nutrients, hidden food allergies, intestinal dysbiosis, why and

>how to use digestive enzymes, etc. These parties summarily either

>promote or prescribe toxic medication for the sake of lining their

>pockets and keeping their jobs. And don't fall victim to alternative

>medical doctors that say you need a lot of expensive and marginally

>useful laboratory tests (some tests may be wise, but many are not).

>Educate yourself, like my teenage son Willy did. (At age fourteen,

>after only a few dozen hours of my teaching him, Willy knew more about

>how to " cure himself " of a lack of physical and mental health than any

>medical doctor that had ever treated him.)

>

>God forbid I ever have the luxury of living with my son. Willy has an

>even higher level of wellness to show the world, as I teach him " hands

>on " how to rather readily effect such on himself at home, with no

>medical doctor either present or necessary. Willy continues to learn

>more over time in regard to what he needs to in order to become " a

>more effective doctor of himself " . There is more that I hope to teach

>him if we live together some day.

>

>Lastly, Willy has generated one of the most remarkable childhood

>bipolar recovery stories in the entire world. (Even though Willy was

>only formally diagnosed with ADHD, he was truly bipolar.) As a result

>of my son Willy's amazing recovery, one that I essentially

>orchestrated with " two hands tied behind my back " (I have not lived

>with my son for ten years), I sure hope the world will begin to take a

>look at my prior knowledge and my prior written work. As far back as

>October 1997 I had made some crucial discoveries in regard to properly

>understanding and treating manic depression (bipolar disorder). And

>by April 2000, I had developed a revolutionary degree of insight in

>regard to how to treat depression (this knowledge has become even

>better over time). These discoveries may actually be important to the

>survival of the very planet, as mood is such a crucial determinant to

>human behavior. Even if they are not, these discoveries are certainly

>very important to the survival of tens of thousands of persons that

> " die by their own hand " every year (suicide). Yet these discoveries

>are still at a standstill, due to the fact that I have yet to get any

>of the help or the collaboration that I need. Hopefully, my son

>Willy's story will result in my finding the resources that I need in

>order to " finish the contribution that I wish to make to the world " .
