Guest guest Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Hi jo, Sorry it took me so long to respond. I had to think about this for a bit. Cause i have never been around anyone having grand mals and the thought of it is very scary to me. I cant imagine what you must go thru. I have only had one friend whose son had seizures and not grand mals so my experience is very limited and I wouldnt want to say something that could make the sitution worse and since didnt have seizures i never really studied it that much. You are giving a very weak solution of iodide only. It can help some. Most the Iodine docs say that the body needs both the iodide and iodine. I have never used the iodide only so i cant comment on the difference how it would feel. If he is having bad die off from it i would just stay steady (it does get better) or change to Lugols at a very very small amount. There are some that use both the SSKI (the product you have) and the Lugols solutions. The dosage is small enough that the companion supplements wouldnt necessarily be needed if he was getting adequate nutrition, salt and water. When you say the allergies cause the grand mals is that the only reaction or are there other allergic reaction type signs? Does it happen quickly after eating it or later? Trying to determine if it could be a stomach issue or intestine(leaky gut). And when you say he sits on the couch all day, does he stim while sitting? Watch movies? Does he get irritated if you make him get up? I think what Gayle said is very good. Slow slow slow. Do you think his gut is the problem? Does he have digestion issues? Does he have OCD ? What other behaviors does he have? Has he been tested for PANDAS? Virus? Parasites? Thyroid ? Free T3 and T4? TSH? Has his B vitamin levels been checked? Minerals? Something that sticks with me is that DMG with B6 and Magnesium has been used successfully in people whose seizures are unable to be controlled with meds. Its been a while since i studied the DMG so google it and see if you can find some info relating to it and seizures. He is non verbal right ? Any words? Is he mostly quiet or does he babble or scream? Does he get giggles? Sorry if i am not remembering everything about your child, its hard for me to keep track of what peoples issues are and things they are using and symptoms and so I like to be sure. What does he choose to eat? Or does he just eat what you give him? Have you tried bypassing the gut, transdermal use of Magnesium? Have you added the Natural Salt, if so how does he react. Do you use salt? What kind? Is he taking anything else now? Trying to get a better picture :-) Cheryl > > > > > > I started my son on iodine a couple weeks ago and am seeing really good progress with him. > > > > > > My questions is though, I am seeing some stimming and was wondering if anyone thought it might be die off.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 I'm not jo, but before my boys could swallow capsules, I gave charcoal in homemade pearsauce. Activated charcoal is tasteless and odorless. You can hide it in anything you want as far as taste and odor goes. The only drawback is that it is black. It is just a matter of whether or not the color will bother him. > > Hi jo, how do you give the charcoal? In juice, or can your child swallow > capsules?

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 B vitamins and any fish oils are a huge no for him. They cause massive grand mals that last for days!
