[SPAM] Re: What has worked for your kids?

[Guest guest]

The only thing we have done biomedically speaking is DHA

supplements from Nordic Naturals.  Tristan wasn’t speaking at all and we

were told her wouldn’t be able to because his apraxia was too bad.  We

had taught him some sign language and just gotten him a communication device

from Dynavox when we started the supplements.  Within 10 or so weeks he was

speaking in phrases and his meltdowns went away.  Sensory was better and he was

happy.  We had him on it for years while trying to get a diagnosis for him. 

When we moved to PA recently we took him off them to get a true evaluation.  We

got our dx of autism and he was started on meds.  We never put him back on the

supplements because we wanted to see if the meds were working.  They do to a

certain extent but not like the supplements so we obviously will be going back

to them but other than that we are new to this………….

post the list of what you

have tried, what has worked for you and what hasn't...

Hi Buffy, you really need to start from scratch then, consider diets

(regardless of absence of GI issues), enzyme supplementation (also

regardless of gastro issues), clean up the environment, reduce EMF

exposure, consider detox protocols, consider antivirals, antifungals,

antibacterials - there are loads of natural agents out there, you don't

have to go the rx drug route (although lots of people have found them

helpful - have a look into NIDS protocol - if you live near California

you can try getting an appointment with Dr Goldberg, or if you are near

NY try the NIDS clinic there... there is also a doc in Texas).

I would recommend " Children with Starving Brains " as well as

Jepson's book Changing the Course of Autism here is the amazon link

http://tinyurl.com/5mk5zt

there is a very good information for beginners on this website:

treatingautism.co.uk (more sections will be added shortly, so watch that

space
