Guest guest Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 We really need to know what the child is eating now. Did you start with the intro deit and slowly add new foods, keeping a food log? Chlorella is not allowed on SCD. Plus, from my understanding, there is no evidence that it chelates anything. This is from Dr. Haley at the AutismOne conference, if I remember right. How long have you been chelating?

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 SCD has been shown to help with liver function and detoxification of metals over time, making it an appropriate diet for those that have heavy metal burden, and helping the detoxification symptoms to correct themselves over time. Only a few strains of yeast have been mapped out to date, there are thousands and thousands more for modern medical science to map out. The same goes for bacterial and viral pathogens. Some of these tests are useful if you have one of the few main guys that are mapped out at this time, useless otherwise. My youngest son, while struggling for 3 years with fungal cysts growing on the outside of his anus and bottom, and while passing liquid for minimum of 3 years of his life, tested in the clear for any pathogens. Hard to believe. It really took SCD and Enzymes to kill/stabilize the rampant infections in his body, no test or doctor could find, treat, or acknowledge. Also, these symptoms are to be expected if chelating. Metals are moving in the body. It is going to stir up yeast and all the bad guys, and since mobilizing metals are simultaneously overworking the detoxification pathways, possibly altering the immune system, and destroying many of the friendly flora in the system, and since SCD aims at destroying the bad pathogens and promoting the friendly flora in the system and healing the gut/immune system (95% of the immune system is located in the digestive system), you have alot of stuff going on at one time. 3 months is not very long to be on the diet. It is still the first massive die off stage. Since chelation actually increases pathogens, and SCD decreases pathogenic organisms by cutting off their food supply, it sounds like a continuous state of die off! Unfortunately, healing is difficult to work on while chelating. SCD is a whole foods diet, free of additives (like MSG), food colorings, ideally all foods someone is sensitive/allergic to are removed from the diet, it is home-made, and the foods are easy on the intestines, easy to digest. Some people also include Feingold and Low-Oxalate diet principles into the SCD. It is just a basic, healthy diet, and probably one of the best supportive aids to a body while undergoing chelation. As a side, my own children were poisonned from a superfund site. SCD to heal the gut, and break the " Vicious Metal Cycle " and Enzymes, along with some other supplements has been all that is needed to reduce metal burden and repair the methylation pathways. SCD is amazing stuff! No one diet is appropriate for everybody, I fully understand that. At the same time, I have an old motto that has helped me immensly. Never leave a diet without finding out why the diet isn't working. Then you will know what to look for in the next diet, or as many people do, the right combination like low-oxalate SCD, etc. There is no one answer or one solution. Best of luck to you in your search!

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 I am confused. Is this the list of foods that he is currently eating? " eats eggs, ghee, stews, beef, chicken, turkey, rice, quinos, blueberrys, strawberrys, bananas, tatert tots, peanut butter, carrots, beans and diluted pear & apple juice. He drinks rice milk, mostly to get him to eat vitamins and suppliments disolved in it. " Rice, quinoa, tater tots, and rice milk are NOT allowed on SCD. Beans are only introduced after significant healing has taken place (at least 6 months on the diet). Pear and apple juice must be homemade to be allowed on SCD.
