Several persons have called me asking where to obtain BHT and the answer is I have not been able to locate another source. Persons with herpes have had good results with LDM-100 (Lomatium dissectum) by the Spice West Co. LDM-100 can be used both topically and orally. Oral use: 40 drops in water 3 times a day. Topically: 10 drops in one tsp. of water and apply directly on the herpes lesions or shingles 3 times daily. Update: BHT is available from www.vrp.com. ------------------ >> Hiya all All I could find on the Spice West site was 4 kinds of salad dressing. What is Lomatium dissectum? I did not know about BHT, Butylated HydroxyToulene used to treat herpes. I have Herpes simplex cold sores and in the past was able to control with l-Lysine daily. However, last September I made lemon balm (Melossa officinalis) tincture and began to use it in December when my prescription for Amentadine got screwed up and I ran out of l-Lysine.. I take about 1 teaspoon of the Lemon balm tincture every day and not only have not had a coldsore outbreak since then I also feel my immune system is stronger. Fewer issues of bronchitis, colds..... no flue. I made 3 pints last weekend and will make another batch this weekend. They need to age ago three months. I want to have enough on hand to boost my dose significantly and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is an " expert witness " in court cases, and I bet he is popular with the landlords. A doctor who I want to see is Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker, a family doctor on the East Coast who has discovered a cure for a number of illnesses that are caused or made worse by toxins, including chronic fatigue from exposure to mold toxins. The cure involves a medicine called Cholestyramine, which binds to the toxins and is excreted from the body along with the toxins. He also found a medicine that minimizes the side effects (Herxheimer reaction) from the toxins as they leave the body. He has a website: www.chronicneurotoxins.com. He has written two or more books about his front-line personal search for cures for chronic fatigue syndrome, Lyme disease, and related diseases. The one I read was " Desperation Medicine.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 My son used to be terrified of loud sounds: the vacuum, coffee grinder, garbage disposal, etc. My husband has almost always ground his coffee beans with a coffee bean grinder, and the grinder was one of the first things that my son was terrified of when he was about 12-13 months old. What we started doing is saying, " Little Joe, Daddy is going to grind up the coffee beans. It is going to be loud, but you will be OK. It won't hurt you. " " Little Joe, Mommy is going to turn on the vacuum cleaner and sweep. It is going to be loud, but you will be ok. It won't hurt you. " Some of my friends used to say " Loud Noise " whenever they were going to turn something on that they knew their sons (both on the spectrum) were afraid of. The parents got so used to doing this all of the time that one time when both boys were gone for the evening and some friends had come over, they both yelled " Loud Noise " when they were going to run the garbage disposal. Then, they laughed when their friends stared at them. Little Joe still stops in his tracks, occasionally, when there is a loud noise to see if it's going to get him, but he does so much better with loud noises now. He's 3 yrs 10 months. A pre-warning was what worked and works for us. Hope this helps, Candie wrote: There are 2 messages in this issue. Topics in this digest: 1.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 and Trish, Wow... What a loaded question! ~laughing~ Actually, there are several factors here, age/cause/personality... But there are some things that really have worked well for us... Most often, when Tyler or one of my other special kids has had a meltdown, it has been in conjunction with lots of sight or sound (or physical) stimulation with something else going on that has " triggered " the response. For example, being in a room with lots of bright colorful posters on the wall and louder music playing in the background is enough stimulation that he has trouble dealing/coping with anything else, especially social situations. If, for instance, someone didn't respond the way he thought they should or some conflict/concern/activity didn't go as he thought it would, it would be enough to overwhelm him with the outside stimulators, causing a meltdown. As a younger child, the sights and sounds at the mall were enough to where he couldn't deal with our " commands " or making " choices " . For over-stimulation, the best thing we have found is to pull him out of the environment into a less stimulating one (quiet, dimmer lights, not much visual stimulation) and sit in there with him, not touching (another form of stimulation) and let him process through what has happened. Without the outside stimulation and without really saying much, you will find that he will wind down much quicker. It is important that you do not feed into the meltdown by giving more input or stimulation when they are already overwhelmed. It will just spiral the situation. Now that Tyler is older and we have been doing this for a number of years, he knows when things are becoming overwhelming and seeks out the environment he needs to pull himself back together. (His 504 plan for school includes an unlimited hall pass that he can use to go to the counselors office at any time, regardless of what is happening in class, with another student, or with a teacher. He goes into an empty office in that area and paces with the lights off until he is ready to go back to class or talk to an adult, who then can help him figure out how to deal with a situation) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tantrums I see as much different than meltdowns, as they are usually caused by a want/need rather than over stimulation. What I have had to learn to do is really step back before making a yes/no decision and consider the consequences very carefully (choosing my battles). These kiddos are incredibly concrete. " In their minds, if something works one time, it is supposed to work every time if they just try hard enough. " This means that if I say no to something, if he throws a tantrum and I change my mind (thinking it isn't such a big deal anyway or that it is less embarrassing because others are watching) then in their minds, throwing tantrums gets what they want and they start doing it whenever they do not get the answer they want. Having yes mean " concretely yes " and no mean " its not going to change " has really made a big difference. Also, if it is something that is a later, you need to let them know what things need to happen first. For instance, " you can play on the computer after your homework is done and the garbage is taken out " isn't a " no, you can't play " but instead " you can after you meet the requirements " . Also, limit multiple choices. If you are going to use choices, make sure they are " either/or " instead of " perhaps both " , " maybe neither " , or " one of all of these " , as the different combinations can get really confusing. If you want to let them choose multiple things, give them several different " either/or " choices instead of a long list to pick out of. They will be able to form a template that is easier for them to follow in future decision making. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Crying can be caused by several different things. If it is to control, it is a tantrum in disguise. If it is in pain, well, we all know what to do for that... If it is just out of the blue, not for anything we can tell crying, often times it is a release of emotion or stress release and it isn't bad or harmful. For that kind of crying, they may need space or a hug depending upon the child. They also may need a place they can go that is private (embarrassment is a big factor at some ages) and non-stimulating. Getting upset about the crying, trying to force them to stop, or making a big deal out of it causing embarrassment only makes the problem worse and less controllable. The biggest thing, like in melt-downs, is to give them a safe, low stimulation, place where they can calmly process through or find release. Sometimes younger kids (or older ones at home) like having an oversized chair with their pillow and blanket to cuddle up in with perhaps a stuffed animal or pet. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Paranoia is often caused by a feeling of over stimulation combined with a lack of control of the environment. By confronting the fear in an environment they see as safe (all the variables controlled except the one they are worrying over) you are much more likely to make progress overcoming that fear. For instance, a child may be really afraid of dogs running around the back yard at a friends house. Yet, putting a calm dog on a leash and letting the child stand out of range at first to letting him hold the leash to helping him touch the calm dog in a non-stimulating environment may help with the fear (stimulation will also affect an animal). Sitting on Mommy's lap with a favorite blanket and watching Mommy pet a kitty that is just out of reach helps with the fears of cats. Many kids have fears of animals or other people due to not being able to predict their movements or actions accurately. Other fears can be handled the same way. Give the child some control over how close to go/how high to go/ when to move forward rather than keeping that control yourself. It may take longer than you like, but it will take less time in the long run to have them comfortable with the fear. (now that isn't to say they have a choice of totally avoiding the problem, just that they have control of how fast or how to deal with it when confronted with it in a safe environment) ~~~~~~~~~~ Sorry, I know I wrote a book, but like I said, it was a loaded question!!! ~winks~ ~hugs~ Rabecca From: trkb726@...
