Mark,
Just wanted to tell you something funny. Here I spend SO much time trying to HIDE the Threelac powder in food and drinks for my 3 yr old son. Well, today he saw me just pouring the powder into my mouth. He asked what I was doing and I said "I'm taking my medicine". He said "I feel sick...I need some medicine too!". So, I opened another pouch and poured some into his mouth. He followed that with some water. He loved it and asked for more several times. So for all your customers that worry about getting their kids to take it....tell them, you just never know....kids will surprise you!!! :-)
I know just from his behavior that it is working and that he must have had terrible yeast overgrowth before. He really no longer seems autistic most of the time. By the way.... My 9 yr old daughter, who has had fears/phobias and OCD since she was about 18 months old....seems to be almost cured!! The fears seem to be gone. My son used to have a huge fear of spider webs...which also is gone. Amazing!!
Thanks so much for all your help and support!! The Threelac is really helping my family!! Happy New Year!! (It is going to be a GREAT one!!)

We have been purchasing ThreeLac through a friend (her aunt is a distributor). It helped my daughter COMPLETELY recover from AUTISM. She literally does not qualify for an autism diagnosis! In fact, she is ahead of her peers!

(Note from Mark: We advised her to sign up for the $14.95 GHT discount club so she can buy it by the case since her whole family of seven is on ThreeLac, which brings the cost down to $35.95 a box).

Alyson,
Drew had his initial evaluation on April 24th. He scored with the PT skills of a 24 month old (He was actually 37 months old at the time).
He was just released on September 19th now scoring at age appropriate 42 months!
He gained 18 months of skill in 5 months!

I hope this e-mail finds you well. Francisco, our (autistic) son, is doing great. We are already at three packets per day of threelac and we have experienced almost no die-off reaction. He is using complex language, socializing a lot with his baby sister and even negotiating with us. Every day he surprises us with something new. Thank you for your help.

Hi Mark,
I think you may remember me, I had contacted you some time ago about my son Dylan and his autism. He was officially diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome about a year ago, which is a autistic spectrum disorder (previously diagnosed with Sensory Intergration Dysfunction). I do think part of his diagnosis is neurologically based (probably from vaccines), but his sensory dysfunction is definitely largely in part due to yeast overgrowth. I can say that he has been virtually yeast-free for over a year now...it took almost a year to rid him of it and since then we have had occasional relapses, but nothing that ThreeLac can't fix quickly. Part of the reason for these relapses are due to my husband and I who also battle yeast. My husband actually got a yeast infection that was vicious! ThreeLac took care of it though! I do not think that it was as severe as Dylan's case, because the ThreeLac helped to clear it up rather quickly. I even took it when I was pregnant (unexpectedly) this past year when I was diagnosed with a strep infection and subsequently got a yeast infection (first ever in my 30 years!) from the antibiotics! It was amazing! I was symptom free within 2 days!
I hope you and Alyson are in good health, and thank you again for helping with Dylan's detox and recovery!
Sincerely,
Kari O.

Good Morning Mark and Alyson,
WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!
Three year old Drew is doing so great! Yesterday he peddled his tricycle about 30 feet (something we have been trying to teach him for about 8 months and he just didn't understand what we were asking him to do).
He stood one one foot yesterday without falling, he had a conversation with 2 of his stuffed animals! His balance is improving, his toe walking has lessened in only 9 days!!!!
We are trying to deal as best we can with the cough. He is up a lot in the night with it but I know he will get through it and it shows the Threelac is working!
I just want to scream from my rooftop I am so thrilled!!!!!!!
Thanks so much for answering my questions, and Mark thank you again for our conversation the other day about the steroids. I have had to give him Claritin twice but NO steroids!!!
You two are truly a blessing from God. Thank you!!!!!!!!

Hi Mark and Alyson,
Another great weekend! Drew and Kaitlyn are playing a game right now and he is actually verbally participating! He used to play terrificly with her but would just do whatever she said, now he is engaging with her!!!!
And yesterday he gave me the best gift of all, he looked up at me from his afternoon snack and said "Happy Mothers Day". The tears just started to flow!
I hope you don't mind my frequent e-mails, I just have to share the miracles that are happening daily thanks to you!!!!!
Warm Regards,Julia

Hello my dear friends,
Can I just tell you that I feel like I have known ya'll all my life?
I have been telling Drew about you both and how you are helping him get well. I have always spoken to him just as I would Kaitlyn never knowing how much he was processing or understanding because he couldn't articulate what he wanted to say. So today at lunch I was giving him his enzyme dissolved in water and he said "Mark and Alyson make you better". WOW!!! The pronoun is reversed (typical) but he repeated what he had heard me say and he knew that his "medicine" was because of you!!!!
I just wanted to share and catch you before Mr. Mondovi heads through the door shortly! I am on Threelac day 2 so hopefully I will be able to join you in a glass (or two) before long!!!

hi my dear friends!
Well, we had our Occupational Therapy assessment today for the school district, already an AMAZING improvement in focus and comprehension just from our speech assessment 7 days ago!!!
And guess what he is in there eating as a snack? Peppered turkey breast and provolone cheese! WHAT!!!!! 4 weeks ago he wouldn't even have thought about trying either one of those, now he asked for them because it is what I was eating and he is gobbling them down!
We have one more assessment (social) at 11:30 and then a developmental preschool assessment tomorrow. We are FINALLY done at that point until we go to Stanford on June 12th for our clinical diagnosis. Imagine where we will be by the time we go!!
My tears are flowing today too. We just got home from the assessment with the social therapist. They have a class size of only 3 children and teach all of the social skills and pragmatic speech relative to preschool. It is VERY hard to get into and I have been on the waiting list for months.
After the assessment, the psychologist came in and said "I could really see him being a leader in this class, he is very social". My tears came right then!
I told the therapist about the Threelac program and she was very interested. She said to keep her posted on his progress. I told her I didn't need too, she would see it for herself!!!
The miracles are happening so quickly I can't keep up when them all!
When we were waiting in the lobby for the therapist this morning, Drew looked down to the floor. They had pink and grey tiles and he looked at me and said "It's a pattern" and damned if it wasn't!!! It was a pink and grey checkerboard pattern. AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm off to order Omega 3!

Hi my friends!
Well, we have another amazing first here this afternoon. Drew is pretending that he is someone else and he has named himself "Holliment" (whatever that means). Anyway, the kids are at the kitchen table coloring with markers and he has magic marker all over his hands and face. He just looked at me and said "Holliment is dirty."
ASD kids don't have the capacity for imagination like that! Not to pretend that they are someone else!!!
Ya'll, I know I just keep gushing about all of these things, but these are things that 2 months ago I didn't think would ever happen. And we are only at ThreeLac day 25!
Love you both!

Hi Mark and Alyson,
OK we just had 3 amazing things happen in about a 10 minute span.
I just picked up Drew from school, usually I have to prompt him to hear about his day. He will answer my questions but never initiates telling me anything. We were riding in the car and all of a sudden he says "I go walk Mrs. Romi". He was telling me that his class went for a walk today. I know they do that, but he has never told me before without me asking.
Then, we got in the house and I was getting his lunch ready and he looked up at me and said "Jesus loves me". I about fell over! H attends a Christian preschool so I know they have a Bible topic like Be Kind and that they sing Jesus Loves Me and things like that, but he has NEVER talked to me about it!
Then, I put him up at the table and gave him some cheese slices and some smoked almonds for lunch and he looked at me and said "Gracias Mommy".
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What will it be like when we are on 3 packs?
Much love to you both!

Hi Mark and Alyson,
Hope you both had a terrific weekend! Ours was MUCH better than last weekend! We had quite a bit of spontaneous speech this weekend and today he sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star from start to finish out of the blue!!!! He used to only get about every 5th word!
He also asked Kaitlyn to play ring around the rosie with him and last night he asked if he could sleep in her bed with her. The kids played just beautifully (barring a couple of typical brother/sister moments) all weekend.
I wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying corresponding with Vicki and Joanie (both Moms of ASD children). Vicki and I are e-mailing at least once if not twice daily. I just checked in with Joanie and their ThreeLAc came today. She is excited to get started tomorrow morning and I answered some questions about carbs and Drew's diet for her.
With all that is happening, it is nice to feel like I am doing something positive and have a way to channel my energy into something productive and helpful for someone else. So if you have any more mom's that you think would benefit from corresponding please send them my way! Email address is russomom@comcast.net.

Hi Mark and Alyson,
Well, we just got home from Drew's IEP meeting. It went very well. The recommended him for speech/language therapy, occupational therapy and for their developmental preschool which focuses on building social skills.
Anyway, when he started private Occupational Therapy on March 29th he was evaluated at a developmental level of 23 months of age. Now guess what? On May 26th when he was re-evaluated his developmental age is 34 months!!! Guess what has changed? He started ThreeLac!!!!!He gained 11 months of development in a 2 month time period and he was only on ThreeLac for 4 weeks of that. The school asessment team could not believe it! The director of the program (for our whole entire school district) asked me to send the link to your website and she is going to forward to all of the special ed/special needs personnel in our district. Can you believe that?
Anyway, hope you both are having a great day!! I am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Much love,
Julia

Good morning Mark and Alyson,
I am in shock at the changes in Drew's speech in the past 2 days since we went to 6 packs. Yesterday afternoon we went to Target, every single person we passed in the aisle he would ask "what's your name" or "what are you doing" or he would just yell "hi" to get their attention.
I had a meeting at Kaitlyn's school last night so Rick put Drew to bed last night. This morning on the way to school, Drew looked at me and said "I missed you last night". I couldn't believe he could remember that!
This morning he is hiding in Kaitlyn's sheets and calling "Mommy come find me" then he picked up one of her stuffed animals named Cupcake and said " Mommy, Cupcake wants to give you a kiss" and he held it out for me to kiss.
Right now he is looking at a stack of cards from Kaitlyn's Butterfly Bingo game. Basically it is like regular Bingo except the card is covered with all of the different butterfly types and you match up a deck of butterfly cards. He has memorized almost all 30 of the cards and is bring all of them to me saying "This is Tiger Swallowtail, this is Red Bordered Pixie, this is Queen".
I am blown away. I really didn't think I would see such huge gains again since he has already made such great progress.
AND
I stopped the enzymes 2 days ago to see what would happen. So far I don't notice any changes or regression!!!!!!
AND
I forgot to mention this in my report. but he can kick your ass in a game of air hockey! We bought the kids an air hockey table for Christmas and he had no interest because his hand eye coordination wasn't good enough for him to hit the puck. Now he plays as well as Kaitlyn.
Have a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Much love,

Dear Mark and Alyson,
I have always known I have Candida. Looking back, I can remember symptoms as young as 5 years old. I started taking ThreeLac a month ago and have seen improvements in vaginal dryness and dry skin patches already. My symptoms were never major or anything I could relate to any diseases.
My daughter, Hannah, is now 18 and is PDD-NOS. We did not see symptoms of anything until she was about 5 and could not get along with other children. When her IQ started to go down, I requested an independent evaluation. She was 10 years old before the Cleveland Clinic diagnosed Autism and Mental Retardation. She is considered high functioning and attends a regular school in a special needs classroom. She had numerous ear infections as a toddler, and consequently, many antibiotics. The "Candida" doctor in our area did not think Hannah had a problem. We did see improvement during a trial study for a new enzyme through this same doctor.
I started Hannah on ThreeLac also and within a week she came into the living room, sat down and started talking on her own. This is socializing, which is not a word you use for Autistic children. She only talks and holds conversations when we ask her something or she has a question or information to relay to us. Hannah also has Polycystic Ovary Syndrome which can cause Cancer and/or Diabetes if not treated. We may possibly see improvement in this area also.
I could go on and on. I am so pleased to find you and your testimonials.
Thank you,

Hi there Mark;
Well, it has now been a year since my son and I first took Threelac. We are now down to one packet every third day, just for some maintenance. I continue to feel light years better than I did a year better, and MY SON IS TALKING UP A STORM!
Thomas's development has "skyrocketed". Now at three years of age, he has gone from no speech at all (in April), to now saying four word sentences, can count to 15 and knows 20 letters of the alphabet. He can identify his name and his sister's name, and loves to spell out words!! He had some preschool testing, and his IQ tested near genius at #135!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Needless to say, this formerly VERY NERVOUS MOTHER is now calm and collected where her son's development is concerned.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! For changing our lives. ! ; ! I almost had an autistic son, now I have a star.
Very sincerely,

Dear Mark;
Well, over two years has passed since I called you on Christmas eve and discovered threelac. My son was not speaking and was two and a half years old. I had every symptom of Fibromyalgia and we were both suffering greatly.
I am so glad to say that we are both so much better! Thomas just had his exit IEP from developmental preschool, and tests above average or average in every category. All evaluators described him as very bright, charming, engaging, inquisitive, and social! He made a new "best friend" with the school psychologist, and is VERY VERY VERBAL, to the point of exhaustion!!! At age 4 he uses words like "indeed", and "that's tragic". I give Thomas a three lac packet once or twice a week.
I am doing pretty well too. Fibro-wise I am better. I have developed Diabetes in the past year and a half and need to loose weight to manage that. This is my biggest physical problem. If I eat a perfect diabetic diet and keep my stress down, I don't need insulin. If I cheat at all, or am stressed out, I do need it. So, I continue to battle that. Any new studies that you have learned about, or new supplementation or info in that area would be great to hear about.
I have referred about 6 people to you for three lac, including my husbands ex wife and my hairdresser. I know it works!!!
Just wanted to update you on our great progress, and I credit Threelac for saving my son from a world of autism hell.
Thank you for spreading the word through your work!!!
Very sincerely.

Hi Mark,
Hope you had a nice Christmas break. It's been nice getting feedback from others. Z's Dad is in town. In all of 2005 he was only here for a month... mid Aug-Sept., so Z really hasn't seen him all year. In the past each time it takes Z a few days to warm up to him. In August it only took 2 hours or so, but he still always came to me to meet his needs. However, this time, as SOON as he saw his dad he ran straight up to him & gave him a big hug. My husband was speechless... it was awesome. He then took him to the sofa & sat on his lap. He also goes to him now when he wants something. He was cheeky too... dad went into a room and closed the door, Z wanted to go in too, so said "open door" so his dad opened it & I walked in with Z, he then gently pushed me, so I said "you want mom to go away?" & he said "go away" & gently kept pushing me until he pushed me out of the room, then closed the door with me on the other side so he could have dad all to himself. (cute)
We also had people over that we haven't seen in a month, Z went up to them without being asked & played with them, sat on their shoulders etc. & had a great time. My friend also commented about how he is so social now :>) I took him to bed later but he realized hey this is a party why should I be in bed & he came down & had fun for another hour, he's never done this.
He opened his Christmas presents for the first time & played with all his & his brother's new toys. He plays a few new games well with me & his brother and let another child teach him how to use a hockey stick.
My husband feels he is now aware of what is going on around him. He takes me to his room when it's bedtime, this is a week old. He's been sleeping through the night & falling asleep on his own for a few months now. Another biggie for us is he is happy to try out new foods...new veggies, even spicy food (he huffs & puffs but still eats it) ...at least he will taste it... not always, but mostly. earlier if he didn't like the look of it he wouldn't eat it.
Receptive language is better, expressive is about the same as last time... still has his "I wants" occassionally hear something new. Sometimes, he says what sounds like a sentence but no one understands it. He can now operate the VCR (power on, tape in, TV on, eject & even rewind!!!!!! ) and also worked out the portable DVD player that they use in his ABA sessions as a reward.
So over all much better... hoping for big gains in the spontaneous speech dept.

Hello Mark and Allyson,
It has been awhile since we last corresponded. Hope everything is well with you. Well, of course we are since we are candida free! A little humor this morning. I decided to go back to school and further my education on nutrition and diet. I just completed my coursework and received my certification last week. Now I am ready to put together a small business plan and become a distributor for all of the foundational supplements for my personal protocol. I am pleased to say that my son Jake ,who is now 7, is doing terrific. His school has dropped his IEP saying he no longer qualifies for special education services. So, we went from an autisitic diagnosis 4 years ago and he is completely normal. He rides his bike, is in a drama class for the theatre and attends traditional school with no extra support and has many friends from his class. Believe me, I am so ecstatic with a normal routine and a normal life!!! I am not sure how well received my information is by other parents of spectrum kids. Some of them may think I am off my rocker, but I have living proof that autism IS curable. Threelac is certainly one of my foundational supplements and a real must! So here is where I need your assistance. I am already a wholesaler, the id# is 40443 I think. What I plan to do is purchase it either by the case and sell it individually or do I have my customers purchase it directly with my code? I have been sending quite a few people to your site (I just wasn't ready to handle distributorship until now) Even my nutritionist now carries it! If you could fill me in what I need to get started, that would be great! I see that on Wednesdays there are calls I can listen in on which I plan to start doing. When you get a chance, you can fill me in!
Thanks so much!

My son Ian was diagnosed with a learning disability when he was 7 (first grade). We have put him on Ritalan which was a BIG MISTAKE! He was either out of it or bouncing off the walls, that usually occurred between 12am-2am. We finally took him off of it ourselves. His Dr at the time agreed with us and we didn't even tell his teacher. We met with his teacher after he was off the drug 2-3 weeks later and the teacher said he's improving so much. We told him we took Ian off the drug 2-3 weeks prior. If you could of seen the look on the teachers face.
Ian started his IEP's mid year in first grade. We had him transferred to another school that "specialized in special needs children". Well he's had a IEP since he was 7 and now he is 15. We have had him see one Dr after the other and no one could help us. They would put him on drugs for depression. ANOTHER BIG MISTAKE. We had one problem after another.
We found out from OSU that he had a number of development disorders. Autism/Aspergers. We were at wits end. Then I found Julie again. She was dealing with this same thing with her son Jake. She told me about this ThreeLac and the candida/yeast that most of these kids suffer from. I was all into the natural way since the drugs were not working. Julie told me to take Ian off milk/dairy products. I did that, its been a year so far. The antibiotic's and the steroids that are in our milk today are just not good for these kids. The proteins that we can not break down that dairy products have. So I was interested in all the mentioned above. I was all for the natural way with the past experiences we had with putting him on drugs that really made things much worse for him. After taking him off dairy, I started the ThreeLac treatment. What a BIG difference. He was doing little things at first that we noticed. Like taking a shower or doing his homework without any back talk or shut downs. His behavior improved, his school work, his grades all improved. Even his face cleared up. (acne problems). Then we took him off of it because of reasons I wish not to discuss. That was in Dec of 2004. His face starting breaking out again, he was shutting down more, he was getting in trouble for his behavior at school, he grades were dropping. We just put him back on the ThreeLac again about 3 weeks ago, and the behavior, skin, and school work are improving again. He more pleasant to be around. It makes such a difference. If it wasn't for Julie and her support with all the information and natural ways, we may still be back at the drawing board trying to find a solution for Ian. I am a firm believer with going as natural as I can. All the foods we eat, the water we drink, its doing more harm than we are told and think. I refuse to put my son on any drug ever again, and I refuse to have any vaccines. That's a whole other story. If I knew then what I know now, my kids wouldn't of had vaccines.
I also have my other son (Mason) who is the opposite from my son Ian. Mason has a hard time staying focused and on task. He's a little hyper. He's never been diagnosed, because of the experience we had with Ian. So we give Mason the ThreeLac also, along with cod liver oil. He's been sick, so you can tell he hasn't taken the ThreeLac, which I just started him back on it today. He had an antibiotic, which I need to flush back out of his system. I can tell he's been off of the ThreeLac and the cod liver oil too. He has been very edgy, argues with everyone. So I started him back on it today. He is also off dairy.
I am currently using magnesium and zinc creams for Ian now to help him get better sleep at night. He lacks the minerals that he needs due to his "picky" diet. He doesn't eat a whole lot, so getting the right minerals and vitamins in him right now are a plus too. Just in the 3 weeks we've had him back on the ThreeLac, we have seen an improvement. When using the other interventions, minerals, and vitamins, I am sure we are going to see a BIG improvement.
My husband was a little skeptical at first, but he saw a big difference in both boys. We we took them off the ThreeLac, and he saw the change, he said, call Julie and order more of that stuff. So he's now a believer. I plan on taking the ThreeLac also after I get off my antibiotic. We are going as natural as we can. My girlfriend is even going this route. She was amazed on how much candida she had in her system. She's ordering it also. Its worth all the work in the long run. I will do anything I can to make my family more healthy. It will be worth all my time and effort.

Hi Mark;
I spoke with you on Christmas eve. I had just started Threelac, and my son too. It has been three and a half weeks since then, and I am writing with an update. I have improved VASTLY, and am just starting to see a few small changes in my son, but overall, I cannot believe how great it is to be beating "the monster" called Candida!!!
Fibromyalgia is how I was manifesting this curse. Of the MYRIAD of symptomology I was suffering from, I have seen improvements in the following;
Night sweats - gone! Pain and horrible stiffness in the neck and shoulders almost gone! Pain in the feet, hips, and back decreased to almost gone! Better balance, more mental clarity and ability to recall words., decreased gastric acidity, MORE ENERGY, decreased post nasal drip and nasal stuffiness, decreased body odor, significant decrease in anxiety and depression, to the point where I have cut my medication down by over 1/2!!! I have the hope of getting off all psych. meds completely within a few months! I have been on them for over 10 years!
Also, my complexion is not nearly as red, I am in a better mood in general, and sleep much more soundly. OVERALL, I cannot believe how great it is to feel better! I currently take 2 packets a day, along with AO+, B12, Fibrocare, and Metamucil as you recommended.
I also have my 2 1/2 year old son Thomas on the same regimen. While I have not seen leaps and bounds of progress in his speech (or lack thereof), it has only been 3 weeks for him, and he is able to concentrate MUCH MUCH longer than he used to, and listens and understands alot more it seems, and does seem to babble more. I am so anxious for him to talk, every day I hope for new developments. I have seen other testimonials, that after a certain amount of time, the language just bursts foreword... I am awaiting that day...
So, once again, THANKS! for having your website, for spreading the knowledge, and for being a positive ray of light in the darkness for so many of us out there... May we all walk in the sunshine one day soon.
With a "grateful mothers' heart",
Deedra S.
Update: 04/20/2005:
Well, Hello again.
I am writing to update you on the FABULOUS progress my son has JUST begun to make on language development!!! In the past 10 days, I've increased his ThreeLac to 4 packets a day. All of a sudden about a week ago, he finally started using a few signs (that we had been trying to teach him forever, to no avail). and then 4 days ago he said "mama, dada, baba, no no, night night", and about 6 other words upon request, all at once!!! We were so blown away!!! I am ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED that it was a direct result of the increased three lac, and that he just finally reached the level of three lac necessary to clear his brain fog!!!
We are elated!!! Every day since Christmas, I have been hoping "today will be the day" that he will speak. I nearly stopped his threelac a month ago, because I was so frustrated with the lack of progress at that time. Now, however, I am so GLAD I stuck with it!!! WAHOO!!!
As for me, I am up to 5 threelac's a day, and feeling the pocketbook pinch, but it is worth every dollar. I am almost off of all depression meds, just 10mg. of Lexapro for now, and then I plan to stop in a few weeks. It is truly a miracle. My house is clean, things are more organized, in general, my adult ADD, Anxiety and Depression are very nearly GONE! I take no pain medication now, no stomach acid reducers either. I feel about 10 years younger.
I shudder to think of the HELL my life would still be and would become without threelac, developing further fibromyalgia and having an autistic child. Thank you for letting me know of Threelac and a truly better and different future for myself and my son.
Take care,
Sincerely,
Deedra S.

Subject: Another Milestone
Date: 10/20/2004
Hi Mark & Alyson,
My husband and I attended our James’s Fall IEP (Individualized Education Program) meeting at his elementary school last night. His second grade teacher couldn’t say enough positive comments about his amazing progress. She told us James is doing the same work as his peers and is keeping up at the second-grade level in all of his studies. Our school system is rated as the best in Massachusetts, so this is quite significant that he can actually keep up with the challenging curriculum! His teacher and the other school administrators there at the meeting told us James is very popular and well-liked by other children. He is attentive, conscientious and hard-working. At the end of the meeting, his teacher also said she completely believes if James continues to make this type of progress, he will not need an IEP within two years. This means he will have completely recovered from autism.
No one has ever said these things to us before! The school administrators used to always tell us not to get our hopes up too high, and to plan on James being “impaired” for the rest of his life. Last spring, his teacher and individual tutors definitely did not give us the idea he wouldn’t need an IEP in the future. This is a HUGE milestone, exactly what we have been working towards since James was first diagnosed. We have been so enmeshed in the process of working to improve all of his weaknesses, we really were not truly aware he had come this far so fast. He started really taking off this summer. He has been on ThreeLac for four months, and we are already being told he is indistinguishable from his classmates.

You can definitely share my email, I am so happy to share our wonderful news with you and others. It makes everything even more meaningful. I hope there is a successful way to share information with parents and doctors that will convey the truth and convince them enough to keep going. From my experience, it is tremendously challenging to deal with an autistic child. Parents, especially, need to be highly motivated with a goal they believe in. Luckily, the changes in our children start taking place after only a few short weeks of taking ThreeLac!

Hello,
Thanks for the e-mail. It was almost like reading a story about Tyler.
I totally believe that since Tyler has been on Threelac he has made more progress than he had in the past two years on Nystatin, Dyflucan, an all the supplement from the DAN protocol. I can hardly wait every day to see what he is going to do next. As a mother who has been looking since the day Tyler was diagnosed for anything that could possibly help him I am so glad I found your website and met you and your family. I have to say I feel like out of all the doctors I have been to I feel for the first time someone finally gets it. Tyler has been battling with yeast for three years and I was always told some kids just always live with this condition. Thank you for proving them wrong. Tyler said today for the first time to his teacher, "see you tomorrow" everyday he is expressing himself more. My heart just races with excitement on what might come next. Thank you so much.
I'll keep in touch and feel free to call me anytime. Thanks again.

Hi Alyson and Mark,
Sorry this has taken me so long to get back to you. Crazy summer.... I continue to highly recommend your product and your website to everyone I know who has autistic kids or yeast issues.
Josh is almost eight years old (his birthday is in November) and he has been on Threelac for approximately eight months. We vary from two to three packets a day depending on whether or not we are chelating. Josh was diagnosed with autism at 17.5 months. Although he developed normally as far as gross motor skills go, he did not develop communication or socialization skills. He did not speak at all (other than babbling) until after he was 4 years old. At this point though he taught himself to read using phonics flash cards which he would line up all over the floors of the house. He still speaks as little as possible and has a lot of pronoun reversals and repetitive monologues. He is extremely independent and would live in this house all by himself and be content as long as he had computer access and a full fridge!
When we first started the Threelac I had Josh on a sugar, yeast-free diet (as well as gluten and casein freee which Josh has been since he was two years old) and we were rotating through olive leaf extract, grapefruit extract, and oregano oil in addition to a high dose of probiotics. In spite of this regimen, and the eventual addition of a two week round of dyflucan, we still had a serious yeast issue. This manifested itself in serious giggling fits and drunken behaviour. He would even wake up in the middle of the night to giggle some more. Within a week of starting the Threelac this improved significantly and we have had only minor, very short-lived recurrences since then. I would rate Josh's improvement in this area at 95%. Now he only laughs at things that are funny in his environment instead of things that are funny in his head. I am so thankful!
I hope this is helpful, and I look forward to reporting continued improvements.

Hello Alyson,
Thank you for e-mailing me on the subject of AD/ADHD/Autism spectrum issues with candida. And yes!!!! Threelac was a lifesaver for me and for my two kids. As you know, I am the state rep for unlocking autism in Ohio and I have suggested to every person i come into contact with to have their child on this supplement. Jake was first diagnosed at age 2 1/2 with autistic like behavior. I first tried the traditional route and after waiting around for 9 months of testing, we got nowhere. I then went to natural therapies with special diets, supplementation and eventually chelation. For years he showed up with candida, after many trial and errors we conquered it with threelac. Jake is now 6 1/2 years old and since last year, his diagnosis was dropped. He didn't even qualify for learning disabled which is a miracle!
I have had Jake on threelac for a little over a year now and I still have him on 1 packet a day for maintenance. I started him out with 1 packet a day for 30 days, then moved him up to 2 or 3 a day for 30 days then back to one. I know it helped him "calm" down to where he could sit in a traditional style classroom and follow instruction and stay on task.
My daughter who is now 9, and is considered bright, used to have "behavioral" issues like uncontrollable mood swings, crying one minute and laughing hysterically the next. She would crave sugar so bad that I would pull her off the top pantry shelf where I hid the sugar container so she wouldn't eat it by the handfuls (truly a physical battle). Two years ago her second grade teacher told me her handwriting was unacceptable for her age and her artwork was that of a younger child even though she excelled in other areas. Her problem with candida was also severe. I also put her on threelac last summer and saw an incredible breakthrough. She pulled straight "A"s in her third grade year, even handwriting!!! She stopped her tantrums and she and I get along so much better now! (no more battles with sugar) She even understands that sugar can hurt her and will limit it herself now.
I have another story to share. My neighbor who has a 3 year old boy was suffering from severe diarrhea for 3 weeks. She knows I dabble in supplements and asked if there was something I could do to help her. I gave her a couple of packets of ThreeLac and the next day she called to tell me the diarrhea stopped! The suggestions from her pediatrician did not work, but the ThreeLac did. She couldn't wait to call her doctor and tell him. Well, we know what they would say "Just a fluke!".
As for myself, I feel more energetic than I have felt in years. More importantly, my head is not in such a fog and my thinking is much clearer. At first it was too expensive to have all 3 of us taking it, but now I make sure I get a daily packet too. It is truly a miracle supplement that really works.
If you need me to write a testimonial, feel free to use my name!!
Take care and stay in touch!
Sincerely,
Julie Snoeberger

Good Morning!
Thank you for sharing that with me -- that makes my day! Way to go Judy! I am celebrating with her! I shared a similar experience this week at my sons IEP meeting. The physical Ed specialist announced that Jake no longer qualifies for PT (physical therapy) He is now dropped. The speech teacher announced he scored within normal range for everything except voice therapy (he is hoarse from screaming for 3 solid years as a toddler) The reading specialist said he is right on track for normal range reading level for the first grade. He is in the top 10 percent of his class in the math ability. His weakness at this time is handwriting and he is getting tutoring for that. They were trying to figure out what diagnosis or criteria he fit for the tutor. I was ecstatic! 3 years ago when I attended our first IEP for Jake - I had to bring him with me because there wasn't anybody who could babysit him and know how to handle him. I remember clearly he was making moaning sounds and rocking in the corner of the classroom. When the IEP group asked me what my expectations were for Jake, I said to lead a normal life and be happy. They all looked at each other and had empathy written all over their faces! I remember leaving that meeting and bawling all the way home. Now, I celebrate life in a more meaningful way and thanks to Jake he has made me a better person. Threelac was the key to correcting his foundation of health and made it possible for other nutritional interventions to work!
Thank you for building your website!
Sincerely,
Julie

Alyson,
I just ordered two cans of Three Lac and the Membership today using the link you gave me. I put a note on the order with your membership number so hopefully you will receive credit for the sale. ThreeLac is doing wonders for my entire family, especially my children. My daughter’s severe eczema is completely cleared up, my urinary tract infection is finally improving and most importantly: my son is actually coming out of his autistic fog. Three weeks after taking ThreeLac daily, he learned to ride a two-wheel bicycle for the first time ever. After six weeks on Three Lac, his speech is remarkably improved and his ability to read, write and process language has literally skyrocketed practically overnight. I am not even exaggerating!!! His self-stimulating behaviors are also decreasing dramatically.
I have been struggling and searching for holistic and dietary treatments for him for over four years. Believe me when I say I have tried EVERYTHING and have spent literally thousands of dollars on all kinds of supplements, etc. With our amazing success in just six weeks on ThreeLac, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for this outstanding product, any further information you can provide about how to use it effectively will be greatly appreciated.
I even can’t begin to thank you and your husband for all your help.
With sincerest gratitude,
Judith B.

Hi Alyson and Mark,
James is doing phenomenally well after three months on ThreeLac. I am stunned, shocked and truly amazed at the results we are having with James so far. I now strongly believe candida has been the primary cause of James’s autistic symptoms. Alleviating candida with ThreeLac is actually eliminating his autistic characteristics. In the past, diet, Nystatin, and supplements including all kinds of “super strains” of probiotics just didn’t get James’s candida under control. Nothing we tried for the past four years even came close to the dramatic impact ThreeLac has had on his condition. It is certainly possible many children diagnosed on the autism spectrum can be significantly helped with your product.
Thank you, I am grateful beyond words to have found this miracle product in time to save my son.
With Deep Appreciation,
Judy

Dear Mark--Could you recommend the dosage/regime for a 6 year old with Autism? We have been giving Threelac to her since Christmas. A few days after starting it ( at one pac a day) she started saying some words again. She seems to have leveled off in progressing so I didn't know if I could give her two pacs/day. We are also giving Oxygen Elements @ 3 drops/day. I read you recommended Flaxseed oil. When we were actively trying to heal her leaky gut (about 2 yrs. ago) this was very beneficial---very powerful, in that her seizures would flair up with each up in dosage---but very beneficial. I was thinking of giving her Flaxseed again.

Hi Mark
I have been experimenting with three lac on myself and have found out that after 21 years of searching for medical answers you have a solution for "my"problems.
I fit 99% of symptoms on the web page.
We have a 18 year old daughter with PDD-NOS not living with us and is on all the modern neuro meds. & have not been able to use on her yet.
Also a 6 year old with autism living with us, after 3 years of searching autism I see the similarities of candida, MMR's, (and aspartame beginning in the mid 1980), and so on.
I tried 4 days of 1/4 package of three lack and she had very painful stomach & constipation, after giving her "the oil" she had bowl movements more regular than ever before, we noticed a large improvement in eye contact and verbal skills, It's been 4 weeks after the three lack and we continued to see improvement.
We have seen the potential of her (thanks to your information) and am curious if you have any information on treating autistic children with these products.
Our 7 year old complained of bad taste in her mouth every day -all day and has had white mucus stools and sore bowl movements right from diapers, also I noticed she seemed a little lethargic compared to other children in her class and I gave her 1/2 package doses for 7 days. Now she is full of energy, she just had a 100% on her spelling test for the first time in school and all other grades have improved as well, the redness around her eyes are gone, and sleeping in our home has improved as well.
I could go on and on with so many things that have changed and you have showed me the potential of this product and I thank you again!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you again

Take care and stay well ----> that's my plan !!
Kind Regards & Blessings,

In August 2003 we became familiar with a "Global Health Trax" product
called "ThreeLac". It is to rid the body of Yeast overgrowth which can cause
a LARGE range of problems.
This Yeast or Fungi can make you sick in so many ways: from Acid Reflux to Sinus infections (the doctors CAN NOT cure with antibiotics) to all kinds of Gut and Colon problems. In my case, I had a severe sinus infection for the last 4 or 5 years. At one point, about 2 years ago the infection was so bad that it turned into Spinal Meningitis which I was hospitalized for amount 2 weeks and then told to self quarantine for a month in my home due to my immune system being deadly low. Well in August 2003, I started taking the ThreeLac. The doctors can find NO signs of the sinus infection they couldn't cure, and I feel better than I have felt in about 10 years. I also suffered from BAD Acid Reflux and it is also complete gone. Needless to say, Rona & both of kids, me, my husband & kids, & the grandparents all are taking a maintenance dose everyday now.
Good luck, I hope this info has been of help.

Alyson,
My son continues to do very well. We order about 2 cans of Threelac every month for him, his sister and me. The probiotics in the Threelac are helpful to combat some of the medications he needs for his gut too.
He starts kindergarten in the fall on time without need of special assistance. So yes, we have a miracle. I am on the radio a lot lately talking about how autism is treatable and many kids do recover. I was on a Dallas station a couple of weeks ago.
Take care,
Mary

Alyson,
If you plugged in the "lactobacillus sporogenes autism" you might find a lot of information on it. I know a Dr. Sidney Baker has been presenting his evidence at some of the conferences (I have not heard it yet). If the Threelac is what is helping my son's gut to heal that might explain why we have seen a jump in articulation lately. He also had a couple of gluten infractions with no reaction. I can usually see the infraction behaviors within two days. So far I have not seen anything. He does not do well with infractions which is why I am so careful. I have also found out recently that my daughter's allergies are diminished while on the Threelac two times a day. She has a habit of clearing her throat and coughing in her sleep. When she is on Threelac two times a day she does not do this. A couple of moms I know who purchased Threelac are showing improvement in themselves so now they are venturing on to their kids (both typical and autistic kids).
As for me, I will continue to use Threelac. This may sound odd but my skin is more clear when I take it.
