"I asked Ilya if he wanted porridge and he said yes. I almost fell off my feet because I wasn't expecting it at all. He hadn't said a word until then, and if he had spoken at all at times, it had been barely definable sounds. Suddenly it was a meaningful consent, " describes Bratislava resident Manon Genčíková (37) the surprising moment that came shortly after she started giving her son carnosine pills. Ilya was almost five years old at the time. Since birth, he had suffered from hypotonia, which weakened his muscles, he could not stand up, he did not speak.
"He didn't even care about the people around him and preferred to play by himself. But he could be intrigued by the flashing lights in the commercials or the spinning wheels. The doctors suspected autism, " says Mrs Manon about her only son.
Like many others, she looked for help in books and on the internet, and listened to advice, but waved her hand at most of it. "I didn't want to torture him with starvation or feed him preparations that I had no idea what they came from, " she hints at what she was advised to treat his autism. She was told about carnosine by a friend who had been examined by a Czech doctor, Michael Kučera, M.D.
"Apparently, he uses some kind of device to detect the condition of the cells themselves and also sets their correct condition with carnosine. I was hesitant to try it. Then I found out who M.D. Kučera is and what he does, and I found out that the man has done something before. But I admit that when I went to him with Ilya, I was cautious," he makes no secret of a certain amount of skepticism. However, after Ilya's condition was diagnosed with the help of a special computer program, an encouraging surprise came.
"Do you know that you have a typical autistic person?" MUDr. Kučera asked his mother, startled by the correct judgment he had read from some charts. "I didn't say anything to him about Ilya's possible autism. Rather, I thought carnosine might help his hypotonia.
"From the first days we started giving it to him, we have seen not steps, but leaps in his development. Before that, he was so tired in the afternoons that he would fall asleep. After carnosine he didn't need sleep, he still doesn't sleep in the afternoon and is much more lively. After a couple of weeks he stood up on his own and I was in awe not knowing how to react. Until then he was kneeling at most. His social behaviour has also changed, he doesn't want to be alone anymore, he literally asks us to be near him and play with him. And the first time he told his mom, I told myself that even if he didn't achieve anything more, the experience was worth it."
