Vítek’s FULL STORY
Vítek is a boy from the Czech Republic who was diagnosed with ADHD syndrome, expressive developmental dysphasia and dysarthria, a mild form of cerebellar palsy and mild mental retardation at the age of 5.
Despite the unfavourable outlook, we have managed to achieve significant progress and Vítek’s condition is now in many ways equal to or close to the abilities of his peers.
We decided to share his story as an inspiration for other parents of children with a similar medical diagnosis and hope that there is a way to a better life.
I want to look at….
Diagnosis and initial unsuccessful attempts for improvement
At age 5, he was diagnosed with
ADHD syndrome, expressive developmental dysphasia and dysarthria
- concentration disorder
- delayed development of speech
Mild form of cerebellar palsy
- musculoskeletal problems
- difficulty with motor skills and balance
Mild mental retardation, speech and sleep disorders
- slow mental development = mental age is 2.5 years
- on the edge of moderate and mild mental retardation
- According to the doctors, he is otherwise perfectly healthy and there is nothing to treat.
5 years and 10 months (March 2018)
Problems with communication, sleep, attention
- he speaks badly, two words at most in a row
- communicates poorly with the environment
- sleeps poorly, wakes frequently, very restless sleeping
- bedwetting at night, anxiety and anger
- can’t keep attention on activities or TV, always only for a moment
Problems with motor skills and balance
- when he starts to run, after a while he falls
- unable to stand on one leg for a moment
- can only hold a pencil in his fist, fine motor skills are absent
- he is unable to do any sports related to balance
Very weak immunity
- frequently ill
- chronic cold
We try different products, medicines, food supplements herbs, devices…
If something works, it only works a little or for a while.
The results of our efforts are close to zero. Basically, nothing helps and despair grows.
In March 2018, we finally find an impactful solution
- We use natural nutritional supplements based on cell membrane renewal.
- We continue therapies and treatment in the spa facility
Balance test #1 (May 2018)
At the beginning of the use of new dietary supplements, we use the possibility of the Balance test from a drop of blood.
The results of the first test are not very positive.
6 years and 5 months (October 2018) and first major improvements
Improvement of speech and sleep
- he is already able to speak
- uses short sentences
- sleeps peacefully at night
- stopped wetting himself
Improvement of motor skills
- runs without falling including obstacle course
Improvement of attention and emotional state
- can play puzzles for half an hour, play by himself, watch TV
- states of anxiety and anger have passed
Balance test #2 (October 2018)
The second balance test also confirms a major progress. The omega 6:3 ratio moves from 39.3 to an encouraging 4.9 in 5 months.
What food supplements do we use?
In March 2018, we came across the Balance concept from the Swedish company Zinzino, which tackles the problem from within the cells and slowly heals them. What’s more, it is backed up by blood tests that show if and how everything is working and how the cell membrane is healing.
- The advantage is that these are purely natural products.
Balance Oil Aqua X
Balance Oil contributes to normal brain function and helps maintain favorable levels of EPA and DHA in your body. Helps maintain optimal levels of omega-6:3 fatty acids in your body.
Viva+
Vitamins with saffron extract. Supports healthy function of the nervous system and brain, helps to reduce fatigue and exhaustion. Supports sleep efficiency and allows for a naturally deeper sleep.
ZinoBiotic
We are adding ZinoBiotic in March 2019.
It is a pre-biotic that improves gut function thanks to 8 fibers and dissolves sugars.
Carnosine complex
Báječný doplněk od Dr. Kučery. Od roku 2019 děláme jednu kůru ročně.
Xtend
Protože stále Vítek nejí ovoce a zeleninu přidáváme tento unikátní komplex vitamínů, minerálů, fitonutrientů, betaglukanů atd.
Pokud dítě neumí polykat, je varianta Xtend+ v kapslích.
Jaké doplňky stravy používáme?
Správné dávkování a kombinace produktů je klíčová
- užíváním dle návodu na krabičce dosáhnete pokroku, ale může být daleko rychlejší a daleko lepší
- klíčové je nastavit dávkování dle výsledků testů, a stejně tak i pak následné úpravy dávkování dle kontrolních testů
- i sebelepší produkt, když nebude správně užíván, může mít nulové výsledky nebo naopak i může uškodit
- rozhodně se sami nepouštějte do experimentů s kombinací produktů a nastaveným dávkováním – musíte mít zkušeného poradce.
Bez pravidelného testování to nepůjde
- klíčové je nastavit dávkování dle výsledků testů a stejně tak i pak následné úpravy dávkování dle kontrolních testů
- druhý test po 4 měsících a pak další testy dle výsledků předešlých testů
- rychlejší pokrok je daný častějším testováním a správným dávkováním
- testy se za určitých podmínek dají pořídit zdarma nebo velmi levně
Hlavně si uvědomte, že je to běh na dlouhou trať a je potřeba pravidelnost tj. každý den a dlouhodobost.
What other activities does Vítek do
