Therapeutic Essentail Oils Autism Testimony

A testimony to the powerful healing properties of Young Living Essentail Oils that I felt must be shared! Autism has become too prevelant in our children and the medical community is stumped on why and what to do. Drugs are not the answer!! These oils perform healing miracles everyday....this is just one!


As the mom of a 5 year old autistic grandson given to us by the courts at
the age of 3 months, you can imagine how hard it was to watch our new son
begin to exhibit signs of autism between 2 and 3 years of age. Our first
signs something was wrong was a lack of bonding with us which we thought was
probably due to the abuse. He did not want to be held, he wanted to be alone
and he would not look at you when you tried to talk with him. We later
learned this is also a trait of autism.
He was obsessed with things that turn. He would spin everything. As he
neared 3 years of age, he became very fixed on things. You could not get him
to look at you by calling his name, by trying to bribe him with a toy, or by
calling to him in a louder voice. The only way you could get his attention
was to physically go to him and touch him.
He would not talk to us. His only words were sentences he memorized from
movies. He appeared to live in his own little world. I resisted for several
months the idea of taking him to a doctor that could possible diagnose our
problem. He saw his regular doctor very, very often. He constantly had sore
throat, congestion, runny nose and earaches. He seemed to be on antibiotics
every few weeks. Our doctor saw the possibility of autism in his behavior
and sent him to a specialist.
She confirmed our fears after evaluating him. She said he was in a “highly
functional autism spectrum” and felt he should immediately be enrolled in an
Early Intervention Program. We enrolled him in PPCD in our school district.
A friend suggested I research essential oils to treat him with instead of
all the antibiotics he was taking.

After research we found that Young Living products were the best available.
We began by putting 2 drops of Thieves on his feet every night; using R.C. &
Eucalyptus Blue on his chest for congestion and peppermint diluted in his
navel for temperature. We used Peace & Calming & Lavender to calm him and
Di-Gize as needed for constipation. We put Frankincense above his eyebrows
and on his upper spine and Brainpower on his temples every morning before he
left for school. Between age 4 and 5, he only saw his doctor a few times. If
I could not figure out what was wrong I would take him in for a diagnosis
and then treat him with Essential Oils.
Noah was very intelligent. He knew every Thomas Train, had watched every
Thomas video made and memorized anything he heard. He could repeat large
dialogues of movies as he played with his trains. He could count to 150 by
2’s, 5’s and 10’s at the age of 4. He knew his phonic sounds and could spell
over 40 words including all of the colors. He knew his ABC’s but would not
consider holding a pencil to learn to write. He would talk to himself for
hours playing, but his vocabulary was memorized sentences from movies. He
could not tell us if he was hungry or if he was thirsty. He was still not
potty trained at age 5. He did not react to pain nor could he tell us where
he hurt. He angered easily.
In January of 2009, I read “Children with Starving Brains” , A Medical
Treatment Guide for Autism Spectrum Disorder, by Jaquelyn McCandless, MD. It
told about how many autistic children do not have the enzymes to process
their food. Many autistic children have been put on a gluten-free,
casein-free diet. If this has worked for you, then I admire you. We tried
and finally after losing several of his precious pounds, decided that there
had to be another way. After researching and going to a Young Living
Convention, I found Mightyzyme’s, a product that supplies a child’s body
with enzymes to break down foods. With this info, I decided to try it. I
hate to admit it but it was a hit and miss proposition. Slowly we began
seeing improvement. He became more loving. He wanted to be held. He began to
come and get us by the hand and take us somewhere to get something for him.
In April 2009, we put him in “unders” instead of a diaper during the day. He
began to ask people their name. The end of May 2009, I made the commitment
to give him 3 Mightyzymes a day every day. By the end of June, it seems he
burst out of his shell. He began talking in a conversational method. His
first sentence that just blew me away was “Mommy, cook me some food.” I knew
that was not from his movie. Today is July 28, 2009 and Noah is beginning to
ask questions, answer questions and carries on some normal conversations. He
has become very loving and wants us with him, to play with him, to watch
movies with him, to read with him. The first part of July we quit putting a
night diaper on him. We are seeing him become a little person that can
interact with us. He can now tell me what he wants to eat, tell me his toe
hurts, tell me that I can’t go to work today because there is a thunderstorm
outside. We are still at awe at the 60 day improvement we have seen.
I believe Young Living Mightyzyme and their essential oils have played a
huge part in the progress we have seen with Noah. I realize we may have a
long way to go, but the progress we have seen is so promising and it is such
a small step to try. Perhaps you may not see the extreme results we have
witnessed with Noah, but it is worth the try.
