178: A Boy Named Vinny with Angela Acker
Vinny was born in 2018 with normal growth and motor function - even hitting milestones early like walking and potty training - but took a sudden turn of regression hours after receiving the MMRV at his routine well visit at 15 months old. He was diagnosed with autism several months later.
Seeking all avenues to help their child, Vinny’s parents took him to a holistic health specialist who put him on a detoxification protocol. Within days, they saw improvement and continue to see Vinny make incredible progress.
In this week’s episode, Angela, Vinny’s mother, is here to share their family’s story. Come listen to hear this message of awareness, hope, dedication and grace.
EPISODE 178: A Boy Named Vinny with Angela Acker
Show Notes
(0:00) Intro
Hello my friend! Welcome back to the club, how are you today?
I recently attended Cellcore’s online educational conference with so many amazing speakers and mindblowing presentations and, today, I want to tell you about one of them. One of the practitioners who uses Cellcore in his clinic in NY did a presentation called Breakthroughs in Clinical Applications for Autistic Children. In his presentation he shared a case study about a boy named Vinny who has experienced incredible improvement and some reversal of autistic symptoms since undergoing a detox protocol. Vinny was born in 2018 with normal growth and motor function but took a sudden turn of regression after his MMRV vaccine at 15 months old. He was diagnosed with autism several months later. Vinny’s parents brought him to this practitioner in hopes that he could help and he did - so much so that the practitioner encouraged his mom to write a book about their journey. I ordered the book immediately after I watched the presentation and when it arrived from Amazon I immediately sat down and read it cover to cover. I reached out to Vinny’s mom Angela to ask if she would come on the podcast to share this brave and beautiful story about her son. I am so happy she said yes and she is here with us today.
(2:37) Let’s start by having you tell us about your family and about Vinny as a baby.
(4:29) Tell us what happened when you took him for his routine wellness visit at 15 months.
Got his latest vaccination - the MMRV
Evening of the Nov 17th, 2019 — fever, then head banging and inconsolable crying
Called pediatrician — was told ‘It’s not a vaccine reaction’
Recommended to give him tylenol and motrin
Vinny became drawn out, pale, and unresponsive
He wanted to be alone, not held, preferred Dad (primary choice)
(7:35) What happened the next day and onward?
Took him to the doctor’s a bunch of times and wasn’t getting anywhere
Suspected autism, regression, speech delay, etc.
Early intervention - had him evaluated for Autism
Decided to look into a holistic approach and met Jimmy Scaringi
(9:48) What did your doctor say about it?
Talked about comparing children and growth patterns.
Speech therapist was the one who wrote the referral and put things in motion to be evaluated.
(12:55) Was Vinny diagnosed at the time that you went to see Jimmy?
Did not have the diagnosis at the first appointment with Jimmy
Vinny was diagnosed with severe autism with a high T Score of 50
(15:53) Did you change his diet before you met with Jimmy or is that part of the changes that were made?
Diet was under control, what was not yet under control were the toxic chemicals in the house.
Jimmy helped with creating a toxin-free environment
(17:05) Jimmy told you that he was affected by the heavy metals not only in the vaccine but also in food. And that the organs most affected by this vaccine injury were the gut, the liver and the brain. What was your appt like with Jimmy, what did he do and what did he recommend?
Vinny detached from mom after the vaccine, and attached to his dad.
Jimmy muscle tested Vinny though his dad
In muscle testing you gather information on what will work best for the body
Let the appointment with supplements and it was the start of Vinny’s healing
(21:31) In the book you said you noticed a change as early as Day 3 of the detox (completed a puzzle) and then again on Day 5 (pretend play - cooking) - tell us about that.
Each morning they did mat time. On the 3rd day he completed a Winnie the Pooh puzzle.
On day 5 he was able to do pretend play.
Vinny would detox and the sweat smelled like metal.
Documentation, dedication and consistency
(28:12) Jimmy said that he had just really started incorporating Cellcore into his practice when your family started seeing him and so he didn’t start Vinny out on Cellcore but brought the line in a little later in the detox process. And that he had had good results with what y’alll were using but that you definitely noticed an increase in cognition and motor function once you brought in things like BC ATP which is the mitochondrial support and HM-ET which is the heavy metal binder and some other foundational support from Cellcore. Please share with everyone how you get Vinny his supplements.
Opened the capsule and put it in 5ml in water
The body is innately wise
(32:55) Tell us about Vinny going to school
Integrated preschool
3x weekly speech therapy
Tested for antibodies so he was not required to have another vaccine for pre-k
Can’t get a vaccine exception even though he is documented as vaccine injured
Vinny needed to be 2 years old to be officially diagnosed
(36:25) They ruled out genetic autism, can you tell us more about that?
Evidence of it being vaccine injury related
The higher the T score number, the more severe the case of autism is
ASD symptoms
(40:55) There are many times in the book that you encourage parents to question, to learn more, to be their child's health advocate and to have grace for themselves. What advice would you give parents in your situation?
Do not give up
Get in touch with the bible
A milestone is a milestone, they are all wins
“The diligence of this mother is why we can give you a happy ending.” -Jimmy
(43:45) Anchor questions:
What is your anchor meal? (a go-to healthy meal) And what’s a go-to healthy meal for Vinny?
Vinny loves fruits and veggies, grass-fed meat. His lunch is separated like a little charcuterie board.
Grilled chicken and salads, steak and green beans
What is your anchor verse? (a favorite Bible verse or one that is speaking to you presently).
Joshua 1:9
Where can people find the book and follow you to see more of Vinny’s progress?
