Re: Valkion usage questions ('s update)

[Guest guest]

I've been making the activated water for my husband without the back

bottle attached (because of the plastic off gassing issue) and I don't

believe it's necessary to have it attached. The back bottle is to

humidify the activated air, but then the air is going straight under

water anyway, in your jar.

Funny that the discount has been extended till the end of the year.

That would have worked better with my time frame - oh well.

I finally got done with all of the tests I wanted to have run on each

of us before starting. Except for adrenal stress of self and husband,

but we'll do that next weekend. I don't think a week of valkion usage

will make that much difference.

My son had his first session with the valkion this morning, with a

prototype glass humidifier bottle and off-gasses canula. It needs a

bit of work still, but it's obviously working because I could see

vapor coming out of the canula prongs. Had him on it for only 6

minutes, then about 15 minutes afterwards he got seriously

hyper/squirmy/ADD-ish. His focus is usually better than an NT kid, so

this was out of character for him.

FYI, to put it in perspective - at the time of his ASD dx he was not a

typical mito kid with low ATP, low muscle tone and poor endurance. His

tests showed high ATP, had super strength and freaky high endurance

-like running for miles without stopping (or even looking back for me

trying to catch up!). Still a mito disorder, but not quite the same as

the usual ASD profile.

With biomed treatment, his energy levels have stabilized within the

range of normal - a little on the mellow side of average without

external sensory stimulation. When he gets hyper or squirmy within a

calm home environment now, I know something is going on.

He's been a bit " off " with a regression the past few weeks. Nothing

major, but something is happening with his immune system. Runny nose

for 4+ weeks, but no other cold symptoms beyond low appetite. Perhaps

a bit of yeasty behavior. Slightly less interactive with shorter

conversations.

His speech inflection has flattened out a bit and his pronunciation

has become a bit slushy. He hasn't been too motivated with independent

self-care tasks (putting on shoes, brushing teeth, helping out with

food prep etc).

This morning I didn't give him supps with breakfast. Decided to wait

till lunch, since he's home this week (got to love school vacation for

biomed experiments!). Six minutes of activated air mid morning caused

about an hour of ADD/squirmy/hyper/annoying behavior. Then.....

He said he was hungry for the first time in weeks!

Self-motivated to GET food and try to prepare it by himself

Got appropriate winter clothes out and dressed (with boots too!) in

under a minute with zero input from me!

And now he's playing solo in the back yard with a rope and some boxes,

without asking me to come out and help him with something every 5 seconds!

Almost back to where he was before the regression. I'm listening to

him talk to himself and his pronunciation seems back to normal too.

Sorry for the long winded way of saying " I Believe it is Working! " but

I'm just so thrilled to have the time to sit down by myself and type

for 10 minutes without interruption........ ;-)

Not bad result for the first time. If he can't get past the hyper

stage, it's going to be tough to fit in an hour of sensory OT every

night though. It will have to be just a weekend thing once school

starts back up.

I have been wondering if anyone is brave enough to try a Valkion

Bath? ie sit in bathub with tubing piping in the oxygen? It is my

understanding with activated oxygen, ie ozone saunas not to let temp

get above 100 degrees or the oxygen/ozone is rendered ineffective.
