Guest guest Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 There are many studies being done on calcium and neuropsychiatric disorders including autism. Anyone who would like more information on that can email me offlist. The smoking gun....I wouldn't say that, but a researcher that I know personally, has told me it is a bullet. It won't do anything on its own but when a trigger is pulled, it will cause terrible outcomes. Demands on the immune system from viruses, bacteria, vaccines, toxitity, stress and more are all triggers. Much like how diabetes is not caused by sugar, but it sure agravates the disease. Like most things we do for our kids in this community, because science has't caught up to us, do a trial. Try pulling calcium from the child for two weeks and see if you notice a difference. If the child is worse after two weeks, reintroduce it. If your child is better, then leave it at that. We have been free from calcium supplements and dairy sources for over a year. We have blood draws to check the levels in our sons. It is still normal. Most of their diet consists of meat, fruit and a little vegetable. We even use reverse osmosis water to keep the minerals under control. We had recovered our twins over the last 18 months. We have also met a few non responders to biomed over the last year. One has began talking after his mom removed his calcium supplement (which he has been on for over 5 years) and he has started to use words. He had been non verbal for 10 years. For good sets of labs on calcium levels visit the vitamink group. The calcium issue is not simple as most things with our kids. A removal trial to see if it makes a difference would be a start. And if it does make a difference, I would have some tests done to check vitamin A K and D levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is still normal. ===>Although I wholeheartedly agree that calcium is not a good idea for some kids, the inability to tolerate it, signal problems with metal toxicity and/or as Natasa would report, viruses. You cannot, however, used serum calcium levels to determine if a child's calcium requirements are being met. The body is designed to keep serum calcium in a very narrow range, often withdrawing calcium from the bones, and does not mean, if normal, that the calcium requirements are being met. A trial of withdrawal of calcium seems a prudent course. Most of their diet consists of meat, fruit and a little vegetable. We even use reverse osmosis water to keep the minerals under control.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 The body is designed to keep serum calcium in a very narrow range, often withdrawing calcium from the bones, and does not mean, if normal, that the calcium requirements are being met.that goes for normal circumstances and healthy bodies, not sure if we can place our kids in that category.also, low serum levels could, in theory, mean that there is plenty of calcium around, just that it is not all going where it should... in theory low serum levels could mean that requirements are being met but are being abused by dysfunctional systems, which in theory in some cases could mean that supplementing when levels are low would make matters worse!!!catherine t goes to some length comparing and explaining different test results on vit k list, serum ca versus cellular, ionised versus bound etc. worth checking if anyone is interested or Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
