ID#BEP02002

My experience with Dr. Wang's healing method began with an introduction in 2002. Primary healing was for my youngest son who was 7 at the time. He was diagnosed with severe speech and language delay, and low muscle tone throughout. He had been undergoing Occupational and Speech therapy since 3 years old. Progress was very slow and minimal. Repetition of exercises was high. After undergoing Dr. Wang's healing method for 6 months, I noticed significant increase in response to new learning. He picked up new information more quickly and with less number of repetitions. He began to formulate new ideas on his own. I still needed to exercise his muscles to accommodate the fluency of language but this was done through family activities during the weekend. Occupational therapy was stopped with speech therapy continuing. Previously in the public school system he was tested to participate in the Special Education program and labeled as Mentally Retarded due to his speech ailment. I have been able to keep him in a private school at his grade level while he maintains A/B grades. The English and Math level at this private school are at minimal 1-year advance of the public school system. He excels in Math and is an honor student in the Kumon Math program. He is still lagging in speech and language compared to other children his age but the gap is closing. I'm confident if we had this treatment earlier when he was first diagnosed at 3, we would not be struggling today. The speed of progress I've observed with Dr. Wang's healing method is well in advance of the traditional therapies offered in medicine today.

May continued research and application of Dr. Wang's healing methods bring significant healing to more of our children's population suffering from these neural-based diseases.

After 12/28/2004 BEP04011 has been as sensitive as normal kids. I cannot treat him like a special kid (give order without giving reason).

Challenges from Miracles

By JS Tarng 5/20/05
www.exceptionalgallery.com

My 17 year old (BEP04011)autistic son started skill therapy 12/1998 and began diet therapy10/2000. Working full time and maintaining these sessions was extremely stressful because the sessions were continuous and required me to be sure I did all that needed to be done. I could make no mistake or forget anything. Subsequently there was no possibility of a break. No time at all for me to relax or rest.

For example:

  • My son has bad allergies triggered by certain foods and by the environment. If I forget to follow through on the diet therapy (enzyme) and allergy shots, he becomes irritated about two hours after a meal and all communication with him stops. He just shuts down and does not recover until the diet therapy is back on track.
  • If I fail to follow through on his skill therapy, any progress he had made fades away after only a week.

His social skills are poor. His comprehension and speech ability has stayed at the 5 year old level for four years, since 2000. I had drained my brain and could not figure out or find any method to improve his abilities. For his part, he tried very hard but made little progress and was extremely frustrated with his lack of ability. I realized there was no way for him to get out of autism unless there was some sort of dramatic improvement of his brain power.

Then, thanks to mother of BEP04009 case, something did happen. She told me about the BEP program in April, 2004. It seems the BEP can improve brain function and is exactly the miracle I had been looking for. On 7/14/2004, my son, whose brain function is low, started the BEP maintenance program. After only two sessions of BEP I was very surprised and extremely happy that he no longer needed to continue the diet therapy he was on. This means he can eat anything and go any place without having allergy problems. Besides the cure of allergies he has started to show amazing improvement in his skills. These were the dramatic changes I had been praying for:

  • Expresses himself using more than one sentence and needs no prompting.
  • Accepts the reasons why a situation may suddenly change and not nag me to death about it.
  • Listens to the talking tapes and reads his comic books.
  • Observes other children with interest instead of indifference.
  • Does not get unreasonably mad.
  • Accepts numerous corrections and works until he perfects the instructor's lessons, all the while he holding his temper.
  • Thought it was funny when a boy inadvertently went to the girl's rest room. He recognized the humor.
  • Expresses himself well instead of saying nothing when someone might suddenly ask him questions. (After 2 months treatment)
  • Can orally spell 4 letter words immediately and 5 letter words after five tries, something he could never do before.
  • Grew 2.5 inches after 3 months' treatment.

Overall I felt he was like a flower blooming in front of my eyes. This was the change I had been dreaming for and never dared to hope for. But when I compared his improvements with the other children, I felt his improvements were not as fast as some of the other children under the BEP intensive treatment. So, I put him in another BEP intensive treatment program (10/27/04 to 2/16/05). Again, there are some amazing changes:

  • Speech
    His spontaneous speech seemed to condense from sentences to words for the first two months, but the words better described the situation. After two months, he returned to using sentences with more sophistication than before.
  • Behavior
    He refuses to be treated like a special child, following orders without reasoning. He requires all the reasons, timing and schedule behind all activities.
  • Social language
    Improved from nothing to a 3 year old level.
  • Reading/language skill
    Exited 3rd grade level. He has ability to start 4th grade level.
  • Reading comprehension
    Exited 5 year old level. Starting at 6 year old level.
  • Math
    His math comprehension exited from the old level, where he stayed fours at the same level, to the next level. He can do straight calculation questions, which can be multiple numbers, but he cannot do questions requiring two steps nor can he choose several numbers out of list of numbers. I guess this is caused by his poor (but improving) reading comprehension level.
  • Environment and people
    He is more aware of his surroundings and the people around him. He is sensitive and, sadly, gets hurt easily by bullies and people's ignorance.
  • Old memories
    When he encounters an event or item now that he had run into several years ago, he can relate the current encounter with the historical one.

Everything looks rosy from an outside point of view. But in fact, I face tremendous challenges because he is already 17 years old and has a set of routines and habits developed based on his low level of capabilities. Although he has a greater ability, he has hard time accepting some of the changes:

  • Why is it not good enough now but it was excellent before?
  • Why does he need to do more homework and more difficult homework than before?
  • Why does he have to behave like a normal person now when he did not need to before?
  • He refuses the award system, preferring to do what he likes.
  • He wakes up at midnight to watch TV knowing his parents are asleep and cannot stop him.
  • He has some old memories buried in some place with his own incorrect interpretation. We had fights over them.
  • He wants to go to college like other people but he is not working hard enough to reach the goal.
  • He refuses to do homework until mom starts to yell.
  • Every time mom asks him to do something he dilly dallies and comes up with tons of reasons for not doing what is asked.

Very often I feel very frustrated and unsure how to handle him. I need some kind of a guideline on how to deal with this new young man. Right now, I treat him as a 6 year old boy with an unsuitable age level memory (like a buried bomb). I feel exhausted dealing with him! I have been using the following two methods to work with him, and my son seems reasonable so far.

    -  Listen carefully to what the young adult has to say.

    It requires tremendous effort and patience to get the young adult to talk about what he/she really wants because it is a new skill for him/her to express properly. In addition, the parents need to read between the lines. In this way, the parents may learn that the young adult has some misinterpretation of the old memories that have just surfaced and the parents, reading between the lines, can now help the young adult with what he/she really needs or wants.

    -  Give the young adult the facts of why he/she has to do things in certain way.

    If the young adult does not agree, tell him/her of the consequences in the real environment. If the young adult still insists on doing his/her way then let him/her learn the real consequences. Do not shield him/her from the damage, unless, of course, the consequences may injure someone. Learning the hard way, under the protection of the parents, might be the only way for him/her to learn. This scheme is much better than what he/she might encounter without the parent's guidance and protection.

Although I have to face many challenges arising from the miracles of BEP, I am still very happy to see my son have the promise of a new and better life!
