Re: Diet, allergies, etc. Cathy

Dear Cathy,

I also stuggle with whether to medicate or not....I just read Temple

Grandin's book and she speaks highly of medications. Our children are so

complicated that there is no one answer...there are sensory issues (audio

training, deep pressure, etc can help), food issues, behavior issues, and

perhaps biological issues that require medication. The chelatiion thing

sounds very interesting but we haven't made a move towards it yet.

Do inform yourself about meds...I was surprised to find how many on

the diet are still using meds for sleep or behavior...sometimes our kids need

it. sometimes homeopathy can be substituted.

Good luck to you--keep looking for answers, I, too am convinced that

life can be better for us and our kids.
