Subject: Autism and Melaleuca products
First of all, let me say how important it is to share information and communicate with each other. This holds true not only in business, but in everything we do in life from our relationships to the health of our families.
I have knowledge of some information about a great family with a teenage boy who is autistic.
Autism is a developmental disability that impacts normal development of the brain in the area of social interaction and communication skills. It is difficult to understand. Even the experts do not know all there is to know about autism yet. There are still so many doors to open.
And, as any parent of an autistic child knows, that is exactly what you want to know – everything about it and what avenues you need to take in order to fix it or cure it or just make it right! But there are still so many mysteries surrounding autism it is exhausting. One thing you must always remember is that it is not hopeless. In fact there is hope. Autism isn't a death sentence. They have made so many advancements in the last few years that many autistic children have gone on to lead wonderful, rich lives.
So, if you are a parent of an autistic child, this family recommends that you do what they do... take a deep breath and say quietly to yourself every day: "There is Hope".
Unfortunately, Autism is far too widespread. Autism affects 1 in 150 births and is 3 to 4 times more prevalent in boys than girls. This means that 1.5 million Americans are believed to have some form of autism. Yet, we still do not know the cause of Autism!
Children and adults with autism typically are subjected to difficulty with:
· Communication - both verbal and nonverbal.
· Making and maintaining consistent eye contact with others.
· Attention span.
· Social skills. Autistic people have a strong propensity toward exclusive activities.
· Routines or repetitive behaviors, i.e. obsessively repeating words or body movements, or arranging belongings in a very specific way.
· Self-help skills, such as toileting, feeding, dressing, brushing teeth, etc.
Both the behaviors and the symptoms vary from one person to another. Because of these differences, doctors now think of autism as a "spectrum" disorder, or a group of disorders with a range of similar features. Someone with mild autistic symptoms is at one end of the spectrum while a person with severe symptoms is at the other end of the spectrum. Because of this, autism is now often referred to as autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Although no one day is the same, they say that every day is a journey.
Please share this information with your friends, neighbors, business associates, and anyone whose life may be touched by autism. Most will say their lives are good, even with this disorder in their lives... but some can say our lives are GREAT and we have the help of some fantastic products that are allowing our children to heal their bodies from the inside out. They are even proud to say that their teenager is currently medication-free and is progressing every single day. They realize that they still have a long road ahead of them. However, on the positive side, Melaleuca has also allowed them to work from home for the past 5 years. So, when "life" happens, they can always count on my strong, residual income. And the best news is, it's only going to get better!
Here are just a few of the ways that Melaleuca products can enhance the lives of autistic children:
1. GET RID OF ALL TOXINS IN THE HOME. I can not stress how important this is. Convert your home to Melaleuca's EcoSense products. These kids have a very, very low tolerance to chemicals and it affects their behavior. Their behavior is very unpredictable -- at any age. Getting rid of poisonous household products will reduce the stress load in your lives.
2. Take full doses of the Vitality for Life products daily. If your child can not swallow pills, give him/her 1 chewable VitaBear for every 25 lbs. If your child can swallow pills, give him/her the Vitality Gold packets or the Vitality for Life packets. Get as much as you can into their system! There are no other vitamins on the market with this PATENTED DELIVERY PROCESS called OlegoFructose Compounding. It allows the minerals to be absorbed at the cellular level. Now, getting your child to take these vitamins may not always be easy, and they won't always want to take them all... but remember: autism is a creature of habit. Once you establish this as a habit, you are home free! Don't give up! It is VERY worth the fight! It's up to YOU to create this habit.
3. Take 3-4 capsules of Provex Plus daily. This will alleviate allergy symptoms all year round and allow them to concentrate. It's also used to help symptoms of ADD/ADHD and other behavioral issues. Due to the super antioxidants in the Provex line, this will allow you to stop any/all allergy medications over time and with the help of your physician.
4. Take 4-6 Phytomega daily. Research shows that Omega-3's are brain food. In 1995, researchers reported that children with ADHD and similar behavioral problems had significantly lower concentrations of key fatty acids. Additional support comes from evidence that low plasma omega-3 levels in boys are associated with behavior problems, temper tantrums, sleep disorders plus focus and learning challenges. There are also many clinical trials that have reported using a fish oil supplement in children with autism or Asperser’s Syndrome. The great news it that Phytomega has both fish oil and Omega-3's! We have seen an incredible language burst and conversation skills while using this product.
5. Use Tough & Tender for bath time. Tony will still swallow the bath water at times, and now I don't have to worry about the chemicals in bubble bath or any other bath product. Tough & Tender is wonderfully soothing and it leaves his skin baby soft, due to the natural properties of Melaleuca oil. It's inexpensive and makes tons of bubbles in the tub. Baths are Tony's "escape" or relaxing time --- and he is known to take 3-4 baths a day sometimes.
6. Use Pain-a-trate at bedtime. This not only calms him, but it helps him breathe easier. I apply it to his chest, his legs and even his feet. He loves it! It's great for his sensory needs. It has a warming effect (due to the penetration of the actual Melaleuca oil in the product) and has a nice, calming smell.
7. Spray bedding/pillows everyday with diluted Sol-U-Mel or Sol-U-Guard Botanical. This will kill dust mites, mold, mildew and other hidden germs that can "fog" their brain. (Again, it's the natural fungicide properties of the Melaleuca oil in these products that kills mold and mildew on contact)
Parents of autistic children are looking for a better quality of life for their child, whom they love and adore just as any other child. If you know someone who's touched by autism, please take the time to introduce them to Melaleuca. They will thank you, I promise you that. These simple, inexpensive changes have made all the difference in our little corner of the world.
I think it is important to point out that household cleaning and personal care products are not the only source of toxins in the home, but they are some of the most common. They are also some of the most dangerous and deadly. The good news is they are also some of the easiest to fix.
Here are some shocking facts…..
…”Of chemicals commonly found in homes, 150 have been linked to allergies, birth defects, cancer, and psychological abnormalities.” … Consumer Product Safety Commission
…”After analyzing 2,983 chemicals used in personal care products, 884 were found to be toxic.” … National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health
…”Indoor air pollution is one of the most important environmental health problems.” … EPA in a report to Congress
