Guest guest Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Dear Antionette, Just breathe. I know this is so scary. Last September, I was right where you are when we found out that Elle had high lead and other metal levels that could cause her to regress into autism. The problem worsened for me when I realized that my other two were manifesting subtle symptoms of ASD as well and also had heavy metal poisoning. Try not to panic because you are already beginning to take care of the problem. Remember your other night when Kiki was riding the scooter? She is already beginning to " reconnect " her brain passageways. You have already started everyone on the path to recovery. Your DAN Dr. most likely will talk to all of you about chelation. You should probably get on the internet, maybe try to get on the chelatingkids2 list serve so that you can begin to learn about chelating options and whether this is something you want to pursue or skip. Jacquelyn McCandless book is basically a must read (keeping in mind that you stay with SCD and not GF/CF). She discusses heavy metal removal quite a bit in her latest edition. You have a lot of things working in Kiki's favor. 1) She is a girl. There is something about estrogen that provides an added measure of protection to the brain. 2) She is young. The kids that respond the best to these treatments receive help before 5 yrs. old. There certainly are great stories of recovery for older children too; however, it is common knowledge that the earlier you catch them, the more likely they will improve. 3) You are already doing SCD which in my opinion is the best dietary intervention you can do for ASD kids. You have already seen tremendous improvements in her. REMEMBER THIS: YOU ARE ALREADY SEEING THE HEALING BEGIN! You all are going to be fine. God has brought you to this list and led you to your DAN with the intention of helping your family. This will be a very long and hard journey. But we are all in this together. We are going to see change, and we are going to cause change. And the people who are responsible for the damage done to us and are children are accountable before God. One day, whether it be in our life time or the " next one " , there will be justice. In the meantime, the Bunce Zoo has already started the healing process. Your nightmare will one day be over. I wish I could take this away for all of us. But here it is. So I find that I just have to be thankful that we have been given a big part of the answer. Others are not so fortunate (either because they don't know or don't want to know). Rest In Jesus, Jeni Lynn (gastrointestinal problems) SCD 2 months mom to Margeaux, 6 yr.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 I also want to say that SCD helps with chelation in a more natural way. Everything else Jeni said already.
