Dear DrSkip......I was only on IV abx for 5 weeks, and they didn't seem to

work for me. I am now on orals(tetracycline) and i seem to be making

progress.I feel awful most of the time...seems to be the only way to get

well:-)I have had lyme since 1984, so I was misdiagnosed for many years

myself. It's going to take a long time for this to work, but Lyme had a long

time to find little hiding places in my body all that time. That's what's

working for me, but everyone is different--what a crazy disease.---Eleanor

i chop up liver and kidneys finely, cook them rapidly and put them in

casseroles, soups etc in the last few minutes of cooking. nobody knows, and

nobody else in my house EVER eats offal. they swear it would never pass their

lips, but it does, twice a week.

Liver is also one of the richest sources of high-quality vitamin A

there is.

Any HFS or other supplier that sells organic meats can get you

organic livers, kidneys etc which are much, much purer than other

organ meats. It is cheap as their suppliers usually have trouble

getting rid of it.

The hard part is getting your kid to eat the stuff. Our son is not

fussy about food, but he won't eat organ meat. I've made it into

pates (which I thought were pretty damned tasty), mixed it with mince

and made meatballs, but no go.

Might be time to try again. I can always eat it if he won't.

My son did not actually eat non-edibles but he mouthed almost everything in

sight. We used a contingent punishment procedure and the behavior has decreased

significantly. Each time he mouthed, he had to clip clothespins on a bowl. (a

slightly aversive task for him). We started with 5 clothespins. If he did it

again, we'd increase to 10 then 15, etc. until he went 30 minutes without

mouthing and we'd return to 5. The first few days were tough but it worked! I

think we got up to 60 clothespins at one time. If he mouths and no one sees him,

he isn't punished. But, he's learned it is not a socially acceptable behavior.

Subject: PICA- behavior plans

Has anyone had any experience with a child who displays signs of PICA

and has also developed a behavior plan for them, that has been

effective?

I am very aware on how to create a behavior plan for a child in the

principles of ABA, but I was wondering if anyone had dealt with trying

to extinguish the PICA behavior and what worked for them.

Any suggestion you can offer would be great.
