Tyler has 2 diagnosis on a spectrum, that are considered neurological developmental disorders.   I spend much of time researching things relating to the brain, gut, immune, inflammation, etc.. This is something I do ever since I received the diagnosis for him.

The following is the CURRENT protocol for Tyler and all his improvements and seems to have helped with the most improvements in his overall well being and cognitive health.

Young Living Oils is not only oils but supplements as well. So many options
I began YL for me with the Ningxia Red and my health. My team leader made so many health improvements that I had to try. I read up on the Seed to Seal process (only by young living) the purity of their oils and products. I decided to go with them. http://www.seedtoseal.com (purity matters).

For Tyler and his diagnosis. I listened to pod casts by Dr. Jim Bob Haggerton a Chiropractor and Wellness Clinic in Dallas and came up with a regimen that is for now working with Tyler.  He is a YL distributor in Dallas. Of course, prior to prescription medication, I worked on diet with Tyler – TRYING to maintain a gluten free, casein free, yeast free, high fructose corn syrup free, aspartame free, etc etc. (I still try to maintain these restrictions)

After watching those videos a few times (until they had to come down because the language was not compliant) I decided to target “traits” of his diagnosis.

I first looked at the Abilify that Tyler was prescribed in 2011 and how it was targeted for anxiety, aggression and impulsive behavior.   So I researched some of the essential oils for “calming” purposes.      So I use a roller bottle with a combination of “calming” oils – I currently combine Peace & Calming II, Cedarwood, Stress Away and Lavender. I may switch it up and add Bergamont, or other calming oils. I roll directly on his wrist and I apply generously.  In 2015 I began with just Peace and Calming II and I began decreasing the Abilify and as time went along, I added additional oils as I continued to decrease the Abilify and by June 2016 and with the psychiatrist’s direction I was able to completely wean him off.  Today his current blend of “calming oils”

I diffuse in his room each night with Eucalyptus, Tea Tree (or Thieves) and Lavender, OR Bergamont OR Vetivier OR Gentle Baby OR Sleepyze

Then once I had him off the Abilify I changed his supplements to:

2 oz of Ningxia Red (Young Living) – morning (overall well-being – so many targeted areas) NingXia Red to support normal digestive health, healthy immune function, normal brain function, a healthy cardiovascular system, and much more*. No other nutrient-infused beverage can come close to the beneficial essential oil content of NingXia Red!

1 tbs Mindwise (Young Living) – morning (cognitive and heart health) MindWise™ combines exotic sacha inchi nut oil with a proprietary MindWise oil blend for a unique supplement that supports normal brain and heart function.* Harvested from the Peruvian Amazon, sacha inchi nuts are cold pressed to create a vegetarian oil with a high proportion of unsaturated fatty acids and an unmatched percentage of desirable omega-3 fatty acids (α-Linolenic acid). Medium chain triglycerides (MCT) and pure essential oils are added to complete the MindWise oil blend. The proprietary Memory blend features ALCAR, GPC, and bio-identical CoQ10, ingredients that have been studied for their beneficial health properties. Generous amounts of vitamin D3 and a unique delivery method create a premium supplement that supports normal memory function and overall cognitive and cardiovascular health.*

½ of the suggested dose of Mineral Essence (Young Living) – morning (ionic trace minerals daily replacement) Mineral Essence™ is a balanced, full-spectrum ionic mineral complex enhanced with essential oils. According to two time Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling PhD. “You can trace every sickness, every disease, and every ailment to a mineral deficiency.” Ionic minerals are the most fully and quickly absorbed form of minerals available.

2 Super B tables (Young Living) – morning (B vitamins) Super B is a comprehensive vitamin complex containing all eight essential, energy-boosting B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, and B12). Recently reformulated, it now Features Orgen-FA®*, a natural folate source derived from lemon peels, and methylcobalamin, a more bioavailable source of B12. Combined with Nutmeg essential oil and bioavailable chelated minerals such as magnesium, manganese, selenium, and zinc, Super B not only assists in maintaining healthy energy levels, but it also supports mood and cardiovascular and cognitive function.* B vitamins are essential to our health and well-being, and each B vitamin performs a unique and separate function in the body. Unfortunately, they must be replenished daily, as they are not stored in the body. *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. Young Living products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

2 Sulfurzyme (Young Living) – morning (for 6 mos I gave him 2 in the AM and 2 in the PM) (give for gut health, reduce inflammation and immune) Sulfurzyme® combines wolfberry with MSM, a naturally occurring organic form of dietary sulfur needed by our bodies every day to maintain the structure of proteins, protect cells and cell membranes, replenish the connections between cells, and preserve the molecular framework of connective tissue.* MSM also supports the immune system, the liver, circulation, and proper intestinal function and works to scavenge free radicals.* Wolfberries contain minerals and coenzymes that support the assimilation and metabolism of sulfur.

I also started making a daily capsules:
00 Capsule holds about 15 drops:
1 drops Juvaflex (for liver detox)
1 drop Thyme (urinary support and other things)
1 drop Rosemary (detox and mental support and other things)
3 drops Thieves (immune)
3 drops Lavendar (seasonal issues)
3 drops Lemon (seasonal issues and immune)
3 drops Peppermint (seasonal issues and support)

2 double 00 Capsules – No longer takes Claritin daily
3 drops Lavendar (seasonal issues)
3 drops Lemon (seasonal issues and immune)
3 drops Peppermint (seasonal issues and support)
3 drops Copabia (season issues and mental support)

Going on 2 ½ years of Flouride free Toothpaste and Mouthwash

I also use aluminum free deodorant (for about 6 months now) and I use YL’s deodorants or other brands too.
