Marcia,I appreciate your story, as I am sure many do.

 

,

There is not a single answer for all kids with autism.  If it was that easy, they all would have been better by now.  Just to set the record straight I am not in cahoots with Dr. Goldberg.  He did recover my son and for that I will always be grateful.  But sometimes I dread going to his office because of his personality and bedside manner. 

 I am surprised that you would attack me that way when you never even met me.  The only reason I am here is to help other kids get better.  I understand the anger we have cause our children are sick, I was angry too.  As a matter of fact I’m still angry because there are so many out there taking advantage of our fear and desperation to help our children.

 Mine is recovered and in college.  I don’t need to search for answers anymore.   I once made a promise to God that if you make mine better, I will make them all better.  I would like nothing more than to retire.  I don’t need to do this anymore.  And I would enjoy spending my days going out to lunch, reading books and doing what I want rather than answering posts like yours. 

 I’m thrilled chelation helped your kiddo but are you sure that it was chelation and not something else you were doing at the same time?  And are you sure of the long term effects of chelating?  Dr. Goldberg (who at times I don’t even like) said there is proof on brain spects that show the damage chelating does.  I may not like his antics but he did recover Stan’s son and help Cheryl’s tremendously.  So maybe you should look into it.  I would go to the devil himself if it would save my kid.

Best,Marcia

 P.S.  And FYI I’m only on this list and NIDS.   I just recently joined the XMRV alliance group.  And if anyone wants more info on NIDS, email me privately and I will forward it to you.

Tue Feb 1, 2011 7:40 am (PST) I've seen that woman post on a few different sites blasting chelation. I'm pretty sure she's in cahoots w/ Dr. G. I think it's hogwash, my daughter is doing IV chelation and is doing great. It's a safe drug that has been become standard of care for heavy metal poisoning (even in kids). The government uses it in biohazard " accidents " for the people affected. The one child that died got disodium EDTA instead of calcium EDTA I believe.

I almost didn't do chelation because of that ladies rants and I would have missed out. She would rather promote SSRI's...

Date: Monday, 31 January, 2011, 3:50 PMPlease don’t exhaust other options before chelating. I know I’m going to be blasted by others on this list for saying that, but I can’t in good conscience watch a child possibly have negative consequences from not speaking up especially when there are so many other options to try first.. I was just told by another mom about a kid who was chelated and died as a result. This doctor’s credentials are being looked into and who knows if things were done right. But this can be dangerous. And our doctor says the damage from chelation can be seen on brain neurospects.

My son is recovered and in college at 22 as a result of the NIDS protocol. Please know your son can get better with proper medical treatment and then rehabilitation. No parent should accept that their child cannot be helped. We treated with antivirals on the NIDS protocol. Maybe he has the XMRV retrovirus, and it was addressed by using the antivirals and other things we did to help his immune problem. I don’t know the answer to that question. However, is living proof that kids can get better.

was diagnosed when he was four years old. A psychiatrist who was the leading authority on autism said my child would never be okay. According to this expert, was going to end up in an institution or group home. Now at 22, the only institution attends is a University where he studies mechanical engineering on a merit scholarship. excels academically and is in the Engineering Honor Society (top 10% GPA). He‘s a member of Sigma Chi Fraternity and was president of the Jewish Student Association. And he just received a NASA paid internship and scholarship. But more importantly, is a typical college student who drinks an occasional beer, goes on dates, stays out too late with friends and then sleeps through eight o’clock classes. I couldn’t be more proud!

Unbelievable as it seems, this is the same child who wanted to spend all day, every day, plugging in a portable radio into each outlet in the house. Back then, I wasn’t sure if I had the strength to be more stubborn than my son. There were mornings I didn’t want to get out of bed to face another day filled with autism. The worst times were when I didn’t have a direction or a plan. I was hanging onto my sanity by my fingernails. But, at the end of the day, I was faced with a choice: let drift off forever into his own world, or drag him kicking and screaming into ours.

Now it may look like we knew what we were doing back then. But we didn’t. It was trial and error to see what worked to help him. After we helped medically, it was possible for him to learn. Behavioral and educational interventions were used in conjunction with the medical treatment to catch up on everything he missed. Initially, we used Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) for his rehabilitation and when he was ready we moved towards more natural ways of teaching. It took years to correct ’s deficits in speech and social skills. It was almost like taking a stroke victim and bringing them back. Our story is not about coping with autism, but rather fighting back and not accepting the misconceptions associated with this diagnosis. This process is definitely not for sissies or parents looking for that magic cure. If you would like more info on what we did medically, please email me privately.

My son has been on antibiotics for 3 years -- not a popular decision, but it has

been great for him.

Now that we discoverd the worms in my son, I am starting to wonder if all of our

kids have worms and that bacteria, viruses and metals are all inside the worms.

Each kid is different based on what pathogens they have had in life that is

still inside the worms. Every time we kill the worms.

So maybe my kid does well on antibiotics, yours on chelation and hers on

anti-virals. BUT, maybe all of our kids would get better if we just killed the

worms.

I believe this is somewhat Hulda e's theory, but it is starting to make

more sense to me. For years, I was sure my son did not have worms, then finally

I found them.

Interesting theory about the worms. I know little about worms. I tend to

theorize it as one problem that leads to all the other problems. Without

adequate iodine our bodies has difficulty or cannot eliminate pathogens. The

hormonal processes dont work. The adrenals dont work correctly. It is all

related.

You do have a point, each kid IS different, but what each kid shares is Iodine

Deficiency.

Iodine would eliminate the need for antibiotics. And yeast fighters. And

antivirals. And chelation. And the list goes on.

Iodine does not eliminate the need for Magnesium, Vitamin C, Niacin, Se, Vit D,

Natural Sea Salt, good nutrition, exercise and clean water. Some may need,

depending on damage, Enzymes,Specific B vits or a mix, Tyrosine, Thyroid

supplement or Inositol until the gut is healed and Iodine sufficiency

occurs.

Once iodine sufficiency occurs the body is able to start healing and

eliminating.

It may not be so in every single case, but (and you can add it to the growing list of nutrients) the majority of the population is deficient. Like magnesium and selenium, it's a quick,easy, and sensible place to look when things start going wrong (especially with thyroid/adrenal issues) and can make all the difference when brought up to sufficient levels. You don't see it too often w people who eat lots of seaweed and seafood but that's not usually our kids. Google it. There's tons and tons of stuff about it.

Thank you , I am glad you liked it.

Synthroid is bad stuff. I almost have to say shame on that Dan doc for not rxing

natural Desiccated thyroid. Granted most docs think patients are havin some sort

of placebo effect when they say they feel better on natural than synthetic.

Sorta like when docs say autism cant be helped with biomed. There is alot of

info from people on the iodine list about the importance of natural thyroid.

Kelp is another bad thing. There just isnt the right kind of iodine to iodide

ratio that is shown to be needed. And most believe processed kelp to be full of

metals/or toxins. So not usually recommended.

I tend to think its the iodine deficiency that causes the problem with amalgams,

both theories (your sis and I) are probably correct. I also believe putting

mercury even in healthy peoples teeth is insane!

There is a thread on the mother list that is long and extensive but with lots of

great information and links.

Curezone also has an iodine thread. Lots of info.

Lugols 2% soln is what you can generally find in the USA for this type of iodine supp.I bought it, used it once, got confused abt supplementing with it and didn't do anymore LOL so that's about as helpful as I can be.

 

So what do you suggest to supplement iodine?  Kelp is the only thing I keep finding when looking up sources to buy.

suggests SSKI is the wrong type of iodine supplement to use. There are some tho

that think its the only one to use. Might have to try both and decide for

yourself. The iodine docs do seem to recommend Lugols because of the

iodine/iodide ratio.

Iodoral is Lugols in capsule form, which many use. I think if the pill is used

you still need at least a drop or 2 of the Liquid so the stomach gets some.

There are some old studies of how iodine heals the stomach from ulcers, so

figure it needs a little.

What kind of reaction?

Hi Cheryl

This post really is really interesting. I just ordered iodine the other day. I

was researching chelation and came across an article explaining how iodine is a

natural chelator of mercury. Besides that the article really convinced me how

iodine nutrition is good period! So I ordered nascent iodine after looking at

different ones. The link is below and if you don't mind looking at it and

telling me what you think. I sure don't want to give the wrong kind.

thank you

We used SSKI for hyperthyroid. It seemed to help with all kinds of detoxing as well.

Re: There is not an one answer for all our kids suffering with autism.

Lugols 2% is what i use. I have SSKI but havent tried it. Most of what i read suggests SSKI is the wrong type of iodine supplement to use. There are some tho that think its the only one to use. Might have to try both and decide for yourself. The iodine docs do seem to recommend Lugols because of the iodine/iodide ratio.
