Re: recommendations for healing trauma

[Guest guest]

Two things come to mind for me. One is that the neck may have a very slight

misalignment from this fall that is being over-looked. Several docs have said

that autism is very linked to blood-flow through the neck. Also, some docs are

doing what they call ALF (Advanced Lightware Functionals) devices to put the jaw

in alignment. Some have done amazingly well from only this treatment. Not every

chiropractor is going to know this. Also, autism is a problem of inflammation.

So, just the inflammation involved in the injury could possibly have triggered

the inflammation loop that is seen in autism. Not saying this is so, but just

saying we have to be open-minded to a lot of theories right now. I have not

seen anyone else say that their child developed autism from an accident, so just

want to share this as well. But, since what I already mentioned is related to

autism symptoms, it could have been the " straw that broke the camel's back " in

your son's case -- some doctors use this saying to refer to vaccines and flues

in reference to the onset of autism.

There are dentists and doctors in Washington state who know about this. Dr. K

and those who work with him know about this. Several patients have told me that

Dr. K refers them to dentists for ALF devices and treats head trauma via some

kind of special way. He has trained others with his techniques and ideas as

well.

Love and prayers,

Thanks Heidi!

I feel exactly like you wrote..it was the straw that broke the camels back. He

had tendencies that I picked up on like slightly delayed language and digestive

problems, but in other ways was doing well. I have worked in the field of autism

prior to having children so I felt that I could pick up on the signs pretty

quickly. I agree that inflammation was probably a big issue.

So, just to clairfy the dentists and doctors in Washington do the ALF procedure?

Do you recommend calling Dr.K's office for a name?

Thanks,

na,

In addition to what Heidi already recommended - chiropractor, I would also

suggest seeing good osteopath to hear how he may " feel " your son's head and

brain and sometimes osteopathic treatments can be very very effective. Last

time we saw our osteopath we saw the baby who now is 6 months old and who was

born with deformed head shape and the mom said that doctors wanted to do some

surgery on her child and put a special hat so the head shape gets better. She

decided to give osteopathy a chance before they do the head surgery (they

started osteopathy immediately after the baby was born) and with each month her

baby was getting better and better. Last time we saw them we heard that the

osteopath said they don't need any longer the treatments because the head of the

baby is completely normal. My eyes teared when I heard that and I can only

imagine how the mom felt when she heard that as well, probably she was the

happiest mom in the planet.

In my son's case osteopathy was quite effective in the beginning, now we hit

plateau and we don't see any longer big improvements.

We have been consulting with this osteopath for my son for the past 2 years and

we started when he was 3 years old.

At this time my son couldn't climb the stairs alternating his feet, neither he

could ride a bicycle and he was walking on his toes. Each time the doctor was

working on his brain he told us very accurately what is going to happen the next

month - that first he will start climbing the stairs alternating his feet, then

he told us when he will stop toe walking and start riding his bicycle and

indeed all that happened. Lately he has been telling us that my son's brain

feels quite confused and too much going on and again quite inflammated. We are

going through big anti-viral, anti-microbial protocol so no wonder he feels his

brain like that. However on the good side after appointments my son is much more

relaxed and usually falls asleep (and he never sleeps in the afternoons), so I

know it is still helping him, although not as dramatic as it used to be.

If you live in the Bay area let me know and I can give you the contact info of

the osteopath we are seeing.

na, the first thing that came to mind after reading the first few sentences was cranialsacral therapy.

Hve you looked into this?

Also the bowen technique (I am not sure if bowen is done on infants, but cranial is for sure)

If you are not familiar you can go onto the upledger site and locate a practitioner.

Bestof luck, Misty

recommendations for healing trauma

Hello,

I am hoping to get some advice on therapies that are effective in treating a young child for trauma. My son's autism came after he had a traumatic fall at my father's house. He was air vacc'd, hospitalized, and found to have a broken jaw (but no apparent head trauma from CT scan). I realize now that his autism is probably highly linked to this event, but I didn't have any idea at the time. The injury was 9 months ago. We took him for all the follow up appoinments and even a chiropractor looked at his jaw as said it healed ok.

I feel that there are probably issues with his bite, but more importantly the emotional piece. How do you work on this with a toddler? He is 30 months old now.

What types of therapies would be most effective for addressing any blockages that may have occured from the jaw injuries?

Lastly, I have a question to pose. My son has the opportunity to attend a center-based early intervention program. I am wondering if we should do it because of the risk that he will be exposed to lots of viruses, bacterias,and possibly parasties that we know come with preschoolers. It is a tough decision for me to make because I want him to be with other children and learn how to socialize, but I don't want to drain his immune system.
