Guest guest Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Hey gang - so I took my son to a local TCM yesterday - Boy, he was terrible (my son, lol) - I can't remember the last time I saw so many behaviors in one setting! So, although he wouldn't let the Dr. take his pulse or do the palpatations, he did get a good look at his " issues " , climbing and shredding - vocal stimming! I really liked the Dr., though with my son all over the place and his thick Chinese accent, it was difficult to take it all in (reminded me of my racing brain at my first DAN appt oh so many years ago!) He felt phlegm and liver were my son's main issues. I am going to be picking up our herbs this morning and with the Dr's suggestion have decided to stop all other supplements for a 2 wk. trial. This is huge for us, my son has not missed a supplement dose in 4 yrs of biomed. I have no idea what he will look like off of them (we began DAN at 20 mos. old), but what I do know is he is a complete stimfest of late, and anything will look better than what we are seeing now, lol! I have been wanting to take a break, but have been too scared. The herbs give me confidence that he won't be " high and dry " , the Dr said they have more beneficial vitamins in them than any multi vitamin on the market... we'll see. The Dr suggested honey to cut the bitter taste of our herbs, but I am glad stevia is acceptable too. I think my guy will take the tea, he is pretty good with supps. Will keep y'all posted - I am very excited to hopefully find a calm place for my guy... of course cognitive gains would be icing on the cake - we have been stuck for a long time, very slow progress the past year, non verbal, etc!
