Re: restless and sleepless son

[Guest guest]

We also see Dr. Berger, I like that he is open and willing to work with us on

whatever directions we want to take. We've seen 3 Dan's before him, and for us

he has been the best so far.

A previous Dan we had was so set in his beliefs that he got really angry with us

when we didn't want to do IV chelation. IMO, its important that a dan be able to

guide you but also be open to parents who do their own research and have their

own opinions.

Dear group,I am new here, and I really need your help.I have a 7 years old son who is autistic. he is on only Claritin singular, omega 3 probiotic, Enzyme and Vit D and Multivitamin.My son stops breathing all of a sudden. This happened to him X 3 already. The last episode was 2 wks ago. No one knows why this happens he had all the test and no one have a clue.2 wks ago he had the flu, really bad and he was sick, and this time he also stopped breathing, but before ambulance got here I was able to resume his breathing. His color O2 sat was fine as well, so they did not intubate him. After he recovered from this and Flu he was not able to sleep at all. he became restless and just pacing and whining and just acting very weird. I finally gave him Melatonin which helped him to sleep, and he did well without it after 3 days. Now he has ear infection and he had not slept for 6 days. he is unmanageable. I can't blame him since

he is so sleep deprived.My question is, does anyone knows any natural remedies for sleeping issues. he does fall asleep for 10-15 minutes and that is it. I do not want to give him strong medicine that his pediatrician is recommending. Please someone help. He was always a good sleeper, now he is like manic and ADD. I do not know what to do. Thank you and sorry for the long postTunde-- "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." MLK

Commercial antihistamines have a horrible effect on my son. They make him  cranky and extremely hyper. Quercetin is a natural antihistamine, so is chamomile. Unpasteurized honey local to your area will help with environmental allergies, but takes about 2 months to really make a difference.Flu may have left him with inflammation in the gut. Allergies also cause inflammation. Inflammation is a major problem. Inflammation in the gut = inflammation in the brain. Natural anti-inflammatories can be very helpful. Turmeric (organic, non-irradiated), bromelain. Could be increased yeast, yeast = inflammation. Grapefruit seed extract produces quick results for yeast.Olive leaf extract to help with viral issues and inflammation. Holy basil is good also. It helps with many things including anxiety and lowering cortisol levels and healing the gut. 5 HTP (tryptophan supplement) helps with anxiety. Body converts to melatonin if needed. Excellent in helping with relaxation and sleep. Should not give 5 htp and melatonin, since body converts 5 htp to melatonin. 50 billion count probiotics for the gut if he has been on antibiotics for the ear infection. Hope this helps.we use melatonin    Always CallChristie GravattWe are not human beings having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a human experience!   --- On Fri, 2/4/11, Tunde Brazlik  wrote:Subject: restless and sleepless sonTo: mb12 valtrex Date: Friday, February 4, 2011, 7:45 PM Dear group,I am new here, and I really need your help.I have a 7 years old son who is autistic. he is on only Claritin singular, omega 3 probiotic, Enzyme and Vit D and Multivitamin.My son stops breathing all of a sudden.
