Guest guest Posted August 14, 2001 Report Share Posted August 14, 2001 Hello Ron My son was diagnosed when he was 7 (he's now 11 yrs) so I know how you feel at this point. He had both the Hellers and the wrap at 7 years. It helped his quality of life enormously and he had two years or so with no symptoms at all. He now has difficulty swallowing again - all the typical symptoms others mention on this site - and he gets spasms sometimes which is quite distressing. However I think overall he was much better after the surgery than before. I understand about the 'no going back' as that worried me enormously (still worries me actually). And I'm now not too convimced about the wrap but the surgeon was very definite about the need to prevent acid reflux in a child so young. Best of luck to your daughter.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2002 Report Share Posted September 4, 2002 Hi, SOTA is shipping again. You can call them with your order or you can place it on www.toolsforhealing.com and have it drop-shipped from SOTA. Takes the same length of time either way. SOTA suspended shipments to the US for almost a full month because of the FDA grabbing their shipments. Dennis Re: Need help!

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 Has your daughter undergone any medical/biological changes recently ie: vaccinations, dental fillings, new vitamins etc? Have you done any tests to rule out medical problems? If it's not medical then something is probably happening at school. Can you go observe her there for a day or few hours? When does she have the meltdowns, have you/school been able to figure out the trigger (aka antecedent)? Even check what's going on in the school environmental wise - are they using some type of cleaner on her desk, the classroom etc? Is there mold? Is there another student that's setting her off? What type of work are you asking her to do? Will she do easy/mastered things with no problem? If so, she probably needs a different method of teaching than what they are using.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 Your daughter is majorly stressed! ie had a boy in her class that showed all these characteristics(sp?), except he withdrew deeply. With her diagnosis I do not kow how the school can say she does not need special services, at the least to help her cope. Have you checked out slaw - www.wrightslaw.com What does her pediatrician say, what does the neurologist say, can't they write letters to help you fight this. Do you have a pediatric counselor that is familiar with Asperger's or Autism? Would you consider Prozac, Paxill or one of the other mild mood modifiers? It really sound like she has tied a knot in her rope and is hanging on for dear life. , ie's Mom > My daughter, Cailin, is nine and diagnosed with Asperger's > Syndrome.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 : We should start our own support group, " Mothers of Queens of Noncompliance! " My daughter was the exact same way a few years back. School is a huge source of stress for our children. It's like doing 3 full-time jobs at once: learn, handle the social stuff and handle the emotional stuff. Why does school no longer deem her SLD class appropriate? It sounds like she's had a change in placement. When did the behaviors begin? Why no 1:1 para? That's what worked for my daughter (HFA). Why EBD or SEBD? If her behaviors are part of her autism, which they are, EBD or SEBD is inappropriate as well. I'm really glad that you have private consultants working with you on this. I'm very much against blurring the line between home and school. School needs to deal with school stuff, and home needs to deal with home stuff. I know sometimes they work together, but school needs to come up with a way to help her comply and not rely on you to do things at home. I think my focus would be on trying to find out exactly why she's had this turn around in school. That's definitely something that can be done outside of school. I think that will be your key to solving the whole thing. Hope I've helped. Missy Need Help! My daughter, Cailin, is nine and diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. The last three months have been terrible. She has been very high funtioning until then. Suddenly, she started having major meltdowns and was being restrained constantly at school and often at home. Physically, she is better now. HOwever, we cannot get her to improve much behaviorally in an academic setting. I have no doubt that school is a great source of stress for her. We are currently working with the school to find an appropriate placement for her. They no longer deem her SLD classroom appropriate, have refused to give her a 1:1 para and want us to place her in either EBD or SEBD. When the melt downs hit major proportions, we had her work reduced per private consultants that we brought in. Now, though, we cannot increase her on-task behavior at all. She begins to wipe her face with her shirt constantly, picks a sore on the edge of her nose until it bleeds, refuses to work or just puts her head down on her desk.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 Evan started having meltdowns and getting really stressed out over the slightest things. His telemedicine doctor from the Regional Center suggested that his Risperdal be increased and that Tenex be added. It has really helped him. Since a lot of these different problems do not come by themselves I was wondering if she might be getting to the age where Bipolar might be showing itself?

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2003 Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 Dr. Hanes: Most common problem with rosacea is an allergy to the secondary fungal infection of the skin edges. Often this is initially facilitated by prednisone use to control the rosacea, which blunts the immune response to the ever-present fungi on the damaged skin edges. Protocol here is best designed in conjunction with a physical evaluation. I have successfully treated this condition, but the treatment regime is ongoing, I.e., it is not permanent or curative. Still the facial skin returns to normal and for all practical purposes the person is free from the rosacea. My general protocol, partially based upon a protocol from : Item AM Breakfast Dinner Bedtime Notes B100 1 1 Multiplex 3 3 Biotin 1000 mcg 1 1 B12 sublingual 1200mcg 2 1 GLA 1 1 MSM 1/2 tsp 1/2 tsp 1/2 tsp thyroid forte caps 6 6 thyroid nutrients Aconite and G.L. Combination 3 3 3 thyroid nutrients DHEA 50 mg 1 1 1 Copper picolinate 1 2 Betaine HCL 2 to 5 2 to 5 Manganese picolinate 2 1 lithium B6 ointment 1 1 Mycocan 15 drops 15 drops 15 drops 15 drops desensitize to fungus Enterogenic concentrate 1/ tsp 1/2 tsp mix in liquid Vit C MSM wash 1 1 1 1 add 1 drop of tea trea onece daily food allergy restrictions Exercise in target zone 4 times per week 40 grams of fiber daily Deep slow breathing pattern with 20 minutes of relaxation each day. 4 colors of fruit and veggies each day. Include cervical adjusting as needed to correct subluxation. Thanks for asking. If you would like to refer the patient for a consult, I would be happy to send her back to you for follow-up care.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 THE VACCINE GUIDE by Randall Neustaedter is a very good book for starters. Tells what is in individual vaccines and what problems this causes. Also tells about individual diseases so you can decide for yourself which if any vacs to use. You can get it on amazon. If you go thru Sheri it hel[s her out. I am reading it right now for the upcoming class and am feeling alot better about not vaxing. Amy Waters RE: Need help! Dear Folks, Hello everyone!

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 Hi, Kim... Take a look at my link below for the list of ingredients on the Centers of Disease Control site (our ever so helpful government agency). You'll also find the email address with which you can start your own email conversatoin with CDC. They have a department dedicated to emails. These are some questions (I got off of 's site) you may want to use as reference or starters: http://www.vaccinetruth.org/questions.htm Also, this site http://www.vaccinesafety.edu ( Hopkin's University pro-vax) has a list of vaccines on which you can click for a link to the package inserts.They also have a thimerosal (mercury) table to print and or download. There are a lot of vaccines made with 12-25 micrograms of mercury. They are old lots....but only one was withdrawn...which I think was the rotavirus. The only way to find out if your ped's office has these lots is to ask for copies of the package inserts. I would only go here if you can't get a copy of the package insert from your pediatrician's office and or county health department. They are legally obligated to give you such information you ask for...so give them grief if they refuse. You can also search through VAERS for adverse reactions using the lot numbers and something else off these package inserts. Someone else in the group should know what that " other " is. You will see on the package inserts what is used in the production process (ie. what animal tissue was used to replicate the virus, adjuvants-ie.formulin/formaldehyde-were used...etc). They will also tell how many different viral strains are in the syringe (ie. polio has three) You can ask CDC for a link to their information fact sheets for each vaccine also that you normally get from the pediatrician. No matter who you get this from, I would highly recommend getting them....even though they don't have as much information as the package inserts. Look throught he adverse reactions. You will notice they give ratios. When looking at that, you may also want to look at the immunization schedule (which you can also get from the FDA, ped's office and or county health dept office). Calculate the number of doses for each vaccine and with of the adverse reactions ratio. Then ask your husband what chance he's actually willing to take with any of those reactions happening to your child. You never know until after vaccination. Another suggestion would be to find the following books from the public library: MERCK MAN UAL-seventh edition and read pages 2079-2081 under immunity VACCINES in the new (2003) edition of the textbook Vaccines, edited by Plotkin and Orenstein. This book was recommended to me by CDC. I'm sure plenty of others in the group could suggest a ton more. If the first library doesn't have what you're looking for, you can get on their computer, click library catalog and it will give you a list of public libraries in the area that have that book and it's check out status. CDC also provided me a list of vaccines with the manufacturer's URL address, mailing address and 800 number...www.immunize.org/catg.d/2019prod.pdf. I downloaded the package inserts off their websites as well (only merck doesn't do that any more) Kimberley --------signature------------- Are you aware that aborted fetal tissue is used in the development and manufacture of vaccines? Read more about this and other startling facts about vaccines at http://www.cogforlife.org and http://www.vaccinetruth.org http://www.909shot.com Here's a list of vaccine ingredients (chick embryo, formaldehyde, aluminum hydroxide, mercury, aborted fetus tissue, gelatin-boiled pig skin, monkey kidney tissue, boiled cow skin, coagulated horse blood...etc) from Centers for Disease Control http://www.cdc.gov/nip/publications/pink/Appendices/A/Excipient.pdf Ask the US government what your pediatrician can't answer nipinfo@...

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 Hi ranyce and welcome. I'm similar to you, about the only relief I have from sinus, asthma, anosmia and polyps is when I'm on prednisone but unfortunately that's definitely not a long term option. I've had four surgeries and am about to undergo my fifth this Wednesday for polyps. I'm being optimistic this time as this specialist is in a big city compared to a country town and as it's a few years since my last op. maybe they've advanced more? Yes, I'm forever the optimist. I think we're all looking for the ellusive cure, maybe it's out there somewhere and I think we've all got some improvement to a degree. Keep on searching and asking questions and maybe one day we'll get there. (26 years with Samters)ranyce <ranyce@...> wrote: I have been treated for sinus infection off and on for two years. I was diagnosed with Asthma about four years ago and have tried all kinds of medicenes. One Ear Nose and Throat Spec. said I had the Triad because I had polyps, rhinitis, asthmas and severe allergy to aspirin. The only relief I get is when I go on prednisone and antibiotic for sinus infection. I have so much sinus drainage and the windy brings on even a more severe reaction. I live in the Central part of Nebraska. Does anyone know of any other options. This website is new to me. Thank you so much! Find local movie times and trailers on Movies.
