Guest guest Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Don't know if you guys remember me telling you about our OT at the Center whose son has a severely compromised immune system and is allergic to every food on EARTH except corn. Her OTHER son was rushed to the hospital the other day with an infection of unknown origin, none of the antibiotics are working. SO they did bloodwork and told her he might have LEUKEMIA. She spent the entire night hyperventilating, crying hysterically...... Next day they came in and said, we made a lab error!!!! DO YOU BELIEVE IT?? So now, the poor child has mono, unknown infection, seriously screwed up immune system, adn they're talking about putting him on anti rejection drugs (for when you have a transplant). Unbelieveable.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 LDN (Low Dose Naltrexone) normalizes the immune system and helps a LOT with allergies. Dr. Jaquelyn McCandless has done a lot of pioneering work in this area. We were in her study; it has helped my son a lot (he continues to take it). LDN is also helpful for adults with immune issues, autoimmune issues, etc. Children take 3 mg; adults take 4.5 mg. Dr. McCandless has an autism group for this; the address is: Autism_LDN At 07:55 PM 3/19/2008 +0000, you wrote: Don't know if you guys remember me telling you about our OT at the Center whose son has a severely compromised immune system and is allergic to every food on EARTH except corn.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I can't say for sure what he means - but I believe immunotherapy is when you inject small bits of what your allergic to in order to build up a tolerance. I get allergy shots for mold, grass, etc. every three weeks (been doing for 15 years!). I don't think its as effective for food allergies - but he may be pioneering stuff. I have heard of small studies on exposing kids allergic to nuts in small doses to build up immunity.
