A worried mother's answer to prayer…
"Do you have a child with Epilepsy or Autism and the drugs are not working, your child is not functioning well and you are afraid for their future? Are you frustrated with the doctor's treatment plan and want some reputable alternatives…?"
Letter from the Author, Arlene Martell
Hello,
If you have a child with Epilepsy or Autism then you have no doubt experienced a roller coaster of emotions and uncertainty. Epilepsy is a difficult disorder to treat and what may work for one person, may not work for another. If you have already tried a variety of drugs, without much success, then you may feel as if there's not much hope of ever controlling the seizures.
When my son Adam was first diagnosed with Epilepsy and Autism, we had more questions than there were answers. Trying drug after drug left Adam disoriented, lethargic and confused. We had placed our trust in the medical profession and we watched helplessly as our happy little boy's health deteriorated and he started to lose the joy in his life.
At the tender age of two, Adam's bright future began to fade as we noticed autistic patterns begin to emerge. By the age of 4, Adam began to have seizures that came on fast and unpredictably. After trying 6 different drugs in just 2 years, Adam was hardly able to function. He couldn't stay awake in school, his learning curve was at a stand still and his behaviour was deplorable. His autistic tendencies were out of control and his daily obsessions controlled his life. Adam could no longer dress himself or even find his own bedroom and our family was in turmoil. Adam's personal safety, as well as the safety of our other children, became a major concern.
After continuous hospitalizations, tests, EEG's, MRI's and watching him suffer with the side effects of the drugs, I had taken all I could take. I knew that if I did not do something to make my son well, his mental well-being and his life were in jeopardy.
The doctors told us that Adam's condition was incurable and that his prognosis was very poor. The final straw was when someone suggested that I put Adam in a crash helmet and leave him in an institution. I knew that it was time to take matters into my own hands, but I was scared to death.
I went on a personal crusade to make Adam well no matter what the cost and I succeeded. At first I didn't know where to look and I tried a variety of alternative treatments for Adam. Through persistence and perseverance, I found the right combination that worked for Adam and it might work for your child too. Now I want to share my story with you, in my ebook titled, "Getting Adam back…. A Mother's Triumph Over Epilepsy And Autism".

"Getting Adam back… A Mother's
Triumph Over Epilepsy And Autism" |
Today, at age 18, Adam is drug free, seizure free and almost all of his autistic rituals have disappeared. The cover photo above proudly shows Adam in his tuxedo on the day of his high school graduation.
As I pursued in my search for alternative treatments for Adam, I would have given anything for an ebook like this one, that would offer some hope and reassurance that I was doing the right thing. What I learned, in my search for treatment, were things that the medical professionals were not willing to share with me. I believe that the pharmaceutical industry didn't want me to know that real, viable alternative treatments existed which had already helped thousands of people.
I am not a doctor, I am a mom who is driven by a dream for her son. This ebook was written as a labour of love, telling the story of Adam's journey and the struggles that we went through to make him well. Adam's story is real and it spans over 14 years of his life, recounting Adam's experiences, as well as, how Epilepsy and Autism impacted our whole family.
I was one of two founders of the Fraser Valley Epilepsy Society, in Abbotsford B.C., whose goal was to educate parents and schools who face challenges daily. I sat as the Society's President for 5 years and I was privileged to speak to many families who were struggling with Epilepsy and also hear about frustrations they were dealing with. I also interacted with the doctors on the Board of Directors who shared their perspective about treatment options.
| Copy of a local newspaper article dated April 9th, 2000. This article was written when Adam was 12 years old and talks about joining forces with Fraser Valley Epilepsy to get information and support.
As you can see, this article became the foundation for the name of this book.

I have learned a lot about Epilepsy and Autism through our ordeal, from the experiences of others and from all of my research and the alternative treatments such as the Ketogenic Diet that we have tried. I understand that not everyone has a great deal of time to do their own research and that there is a huge amount of information to absorb. I can tell you that there are many things that the doctors cannot, or will not, tell you and that it is up to each individual to find answers to many tough questions.
| "I am amazed at Adam's progress"
At the time I met Adam he was a victim of the system or lack there of. Little information, education or support was available. The dangers of status seizures were not clearly defined or identified and the side effects of medications were often vague.
Through years of persistence and investigative work by Adam's mother, she managed to uncover the answers that transformed Adam into the wonderful kind, loving young man he is today.
I couldn't be happier for Adam or more surprised by his transformation. He has achieved milestones on a journey that no one expected him to take. I congratulate him and especially his parents for never giving up!

Here is something else I put together I thought you might find useful. Because you're getting your ebook today, you will also be receiving 2 special bonuses I developed just for you...
The Planning Toolkit
If you are a "list person" like I am, you will benefit from having this "fill in the blanks" form that I created to help you organize your treatment plan. This handy guide will take everything you learned in the ebook and condense it into a usable handy reference.
It is a comprehensive guide that will walk you through everything you need to get started as well as where to find what you need, and how to document and keep track of everything along the way.
Links and literature
A one-stop reference guide that shares with you the "quick links to all the online resources" that I found useful in my search. The links are easy to use, and all in one place.

Putting it all in perspective:
There is nothing that can prepare a parent for a diagnosis of Epilepsy or Autism. You may want immediate answers to your questions, but it is easy to become overwhelmed by all of the treatments and information out there. Many children, like Adam, have symptoms of both conditions, which can easily compound parent's fears.
You may have a million questions racing around in your head right now and at the same time you are hanging on to the hope that there is something better out there for your child. I congratulate you for even having the courage to look further than conventional medicine and I think that you will be pleasantly surprised by what you read.
Are you hoping for a better quality of life for your child?
If you answered yes to that question then I encourage you to look at your options through new eyes. I hope that this ebook will give you some great ideas to discuss with your doctor.

| "Adam is larger than life"
Adam and his family have been on a long journey. I haven't been a part of Adam's life for all of that journey, but he is a big part of my life today. Adam is larger than life. His biggest impact on me is his perspective on life and how he lives it. He is full of passion and has this innocent yet experienced view and experience with his daily life.
Adam gives the best hugs. I have rarely seen him on a Sunday morning at church without a biscotti in his mouth, and could always count on Adam to participate in one of my sermons by saying something in response to a question or laughing loudly at one of my jokes. He loves and has compassion more than most people I know. My kids are some of the recipients of that love. Adam, I pray God's richest blessing on the next chapter of your journey. Your life and our friendship have enriched mine.
James Bergen, Pastor

It is difficult for me to describe the challenges of raising a child with a disability to anyone who has not travelled down that road. This ebook describes our family's journey with Adam and the situations that we were faced with by having a child who was plagued with severe seizures and Autism.
I do not know what stage you are in right now. Your child may have just been diagnosed with Epilepsy or Autism and you are really confused and anxious about their future, or you may have already gone through the drug regime and you're frustrated with the results and/or side effects. Perhaps you have noticed recently that your child is digressing in some areas of learning and performing simple tasks, or your child may be displaying changes in behaviour and temperament.
I have experienced every emotion possible through dealing with Adam's disabilities and it wasn't until after I got really mad, sat down and had a good cry that I decided it was time to try something different. I cannot guarantee that what worked for Adam will work for your child, but what I can say is that all of the treatments that I suggest in this ebook are completely non-invasive and well-known in medical circles.
