Can someone help?

May 20, 2003

Some people have to reduce or drop SNT once on enzymes. If your

child starts absorbing the vit B nutrient from foods and is also on

SNT, that can be too much B6.

If the problems did not start until you added zinc and calcium, I

would consider dropping them for awhile to see if that helps. When

you do add supplements, add only one at a time so you can tell which

is helping or hurting.

And, yes, it's always possible he is just being two! Once my son was

on enzymes, he had tremendous gains - but he and his brother also

started acting like brothers. It was a big adjustment for me to deal

with that typical competitive brother stuff.

Is there zinc in the SNT? Some kids don't do well with high zinc,

because it dumps copper too fast, and 20mg for a 2-3 yo child might be

high, especially if there is more zinc in the SNT. You might consider

removing that one, or at least reducing it, and see if that helps.

I had to experiment to find a calcium supplement my son tolerated.

I hate almost all calcium supps except the wateroz ones (or similar)

(www.wateroz.com/ www.realityheathresearch.com) but that probably isn't your

problem.

20 mg might be a little high on zinc unless you are also supplementing some

of the other minerals, like magnesium, chromium, manganese, selenium,

potassium, etc). It depends on what kind of zinc you are using, however.

20 mg of zinc sulphate is less absorbable than zinc citrate, which would be

a LOT more asorbably but probably too much at 20 mg, if you see my point.

You might need some magnesium (again use the angstrom sized minerals if you

think they'd suit, I love them) at least. It might make him more calm.

2 y.o. are always busy and usually defiant, or so they say. My kids are not

very defiant in any case and never were at 2. My daughter was more

difficult toward 3/4, if I remember right. My son was always east and too

passive, although things are changing all the time.....

......

I have no idea how these therapists do anything with a 2 y.o.!!!! I'd have

thought it was up to them to make themselves appealing enough to warrant

attention!

I'm posting on behalf of a friend - her 70 yr old father has suffered

w/RA for close to 30 yrs now. Last spring he developed vasculitis (I

believe this has something to do w/his RA but I could be mistaken).

In September he began to get sick - he'd spike very high fevers, but

the drs couldn't find anything wrong. He was in and out of the

hospital from Sept-Dec. In early December, he went into the hospital

and has not left once - as of today, he's been in bed for a week. He

keeps spiking fevers with no sign of infection anywhere in his body.

Just this week they have started him on Humira.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? Has anyone been through this?

She is at her wits end. He's at a very highly regarded hospital and

they're getting nowhere.

Thanks in advance for any help you could offer.

I don't really know anything about it but the high fevers sound a lot like Adult Onset Still's Disease. Janis who posts under the name Island Woman on Arthritis Insight http://www.arthritisinsight.com/cgi-bin/wsmbb/wsmbb.cgi?SB+KYWRJLLXVS/AKFCLKZQUN+config has it and may be able to answer questions. I have no idea how the vasculitis fits in. Thanks for trying to help your friend and her father. God bless.
