The muscle biopsy is the test that needs to be done, but only by mito specialist

that is well qualified. This is the ONLY way to get definitive answers as of

now. Not pleasant to here...but simple fact.

Before Kiki could swallow the capsules...the doctor ok'd it to be put into apple

sauce. She gagged...but this was ultimately what motivated her to learn how to

swallow the capsules. I truly don't know what to suggest for you. Some mito

kids have to have to be G-tube fed. Kiki is trying to avoid IV nutrition as we

speak. NOT all KIDS have to be as sick with MtD as KIKI to have this condition.

SCD heals the gut, so that the toxin loads DROP....and then the liver can detox

and chelate the body naturally. The kidneys can finally excrete the heavy

metals.

Elaine had a gentleman prescribed SCD just for this purpose. He had heavy metal

poisoning. SCD saved him with no dangerous chelation therapy. When a child has

MtD, or just bad gut flora, chelation therapy is contraindicative. I read about

Chelation in " Gut and Psychology Syndrome " . A must read for any parent

wanting to go this route.

MOST if not all ASD children have bad gut bugs. This might be because most if

not all ASD children could have Pancreatic Insufficiency and are not digesting

their foods. This is why SCD helps so much.

Before SCD these bad gut bugs add to the toxic systemic blood load. LPS is one

of these bad things that happen that cause autistic symptoms. This is caused by

fermenting and undigested starches and sugar. With toxic levels HIGH the liver

and kidneys become OVER loaded. Unlike a healthy child, a ASD child has no

choice but to hide these dangerous things like mercury in the tissues and fat of

our body. Thus heavy metal accumulate among other horrible things....

To make things worse, one heavy metals get hidden in the brain, it is said by

our DAN! chelation can't help anyway. In some cases causing permanent damage.

The younger the child when treatment starts the better. The brain can make

accommodations to this damage and create new pathways. But it is never too late

for any of us...I am proof, and so are others who have done SCD at an older age.

The Human body is amazing when it is no longer being bombarded with bad toxins.

The heavy metals in the tissues can be excreted and got rid of with the natural

chelating power of SCDiet.

One of the most amazing things for us about fanatical SCD was that our

daughter's heavy metal symptoms vanished. At nine months into the diet all the

signs of severe heavy metal accumulation where gone as well as mine. NOTHING

but pure and straight SCD did this for us.

Ximena,

A child can have mito issues and be big for there age. Truly, even adults can

have late onset MtD and it can be mistaken as " chronic fatigue " and

" depression " ....it is a vast amount of symptoms. Not just slow growth or

failure to thrive. One does not have to have all the symptoms either. I will

be next to be tested...as will my son (because of his vision loss). He is in

the 97% and only had ADD and mild AS symptoms. On the most part he is

healthy...even before SCD...but had constipation, and diarrhea often. The

thing that is scary about mitochodrial disease is that it shows up in many

different ways. Not one person is alike....similar.....but not alike. AS far

as being nervous...we use to be. But this is what I said to my husband....we

where living with this monster anyways...isn't it time that we know what name to

call it? Think about that one. Truly...it is the unknown and undiagnosed that

should worry. Hopefully in time it will become easier to diagnosed this

monster, so more will realize the seriousness of this and doctors will help us

better to improve our lives.

God Bless everyone's healing journey.
