Respen-A™ Video Testimonial Series
Testimonial from Paulette
Just a quick update on Sam and the Respen-A™. The changes, at first, were so subtle and very slow but now they are kind of piling on top of each other and becoming more obvious. Sam now tells us if he wants a "dot" or not. It seems like on the days he wears it, he may have a rougher day, but the next day he has a really great day. We have gone as long as 4 days without it. Partly to see if there was any regression and partly to make sure his BM were regular. We are getting much better at dosing the magnesium.
His language is really coming in and he's starting to do things that he should have done as a toddler, like pretend play, it's like he's going back and doing some developmentally appropriate things. He is so much more aware of his surroundings and the people in it. He's commenting on the weather and paying attention to when the dog needs to come in and go out. His memory has improved quite a bit too. And on the days we do not use the dot, he seems to retain all his gains. Just wanted to keep you up to date on our case. --Paulette
Testimonial from Lara
"We took Jack to the pediatrician when he was around 18 months
old, and when they discovered he was only saying one word (mama),
they decided to refer him to a developmental pediatrician and a
speech therapist. The new pediatrician wanted to be cautious and
recommended ABA for Jack. Tricare paid for him to have ABA 5
days a week, speech one day a week (45 minutes), and then
occupational therapy one day a week (after speech recommended
it).
We also started the GFCF diet and noticed some improvement,
though we only stuck with it for two months. Around that time, I
made an appointment with Dr. Kurt Woeller. He prescribed multiple
supplements, Diflucan, and Methyl b-12 shots. We noticed
significant improvements with these. When he posted information
about Respen A, we immediately got some and have been taking it
ever since.
From the time we met Dr. Woeller until now, Jack has gone from mute,
lacking engagement, and screaming every minute to not being on
the spectrum. We noticed continual improvement, but Respen A
gave him the final push. He started to concentrate better at
school and was able and eager to write. He now draws about 20
pictures a day and will sit and focus for extended periods. He
is in a regular preschool class. Though he still tends to be a
loner, he has several friends, and the teachers love him."
Testimonial from Marcia
Matthew is a 7-year-old boy with autism. Every three weeks a therapist at the school works with him to try and get him to communicate using a computer but all efforts have been unsuccessful until 3 weeks after starting Respen-A. Below are two transcripts from his teacher. The first one was 3 weeks after being on Respen-A and the second transcript was done 6 weeks after being on Respen-A.

Yes, you can be VERY smart even if you can’t talk!! Some people can’t hear and they are very smart. Some people can’t see and they are very smart. Not talking has nothing to do with being smart. (I also explained that after each word you can put a space to show your word is done. He picked it right up!!)
