about, and it just takes time. Alot of people think the diet thing

is easy, but I also find it hard. And give yourself credit, you've

done alot for your son already, and his hair test shows improvements,

so you're on the right track. It looks like you corrected the Ca/Mg

ratio through diet and supps, so what you're doing is working.

and see if you can figure out if any foods are setting him off? Or

try eliminating the phenols/salicylates and see how he does. There

is a product called No-Fenol that you could try. And you could also

give him epsom salt baths, as this will supply sulfate for him, that

the body needs to process the phenols/salicylates, so this may help

also. Or maybe do food allergy testing? Then you won't have to be

guessing.

A food diary sounds like a very good idea also the No-Fenol, he does

have Epsom salt baths regurlarly.------Kenny

> And back to the yeast. Have you ever tried treating for it?

Looking at your supplement list, I don't see anything for yeast.

Have you ever tried probiotics for him? Any yeast killers like GSE?

He has been having Biotin 10mg per day (he's 37 pounds) and 125mg GSE

on Main chelating days, I don't know why I did'nt put that on the

supp. list.--------Kenny

> And back to the hair test. Have you found any sources of

exposure for some of these elevated metals? I'm wondering about the

bismuth on the second test, being red all the way to the right. They

say its in alot of cosmetics, do you think maybe his hair sample was

contaminated, maybe if your wife wears makeup and was the one who cut

his hair?

My wife did cut his hair so contamination is possible----Kenny

> Have you found a source for the arsenic? What kind of water are

you drinking? I always ask, because I have *very* elevated levels of

arsenic in my hair, and I found out it was in my well water. Have

you tested anybody else in your family? My kids were also high in

it, so I knew we had a common source, so testing other family members

can be helpful.

My son (Tommy) drinks bottled water but the rest of us mainly risk

the tap water. I'm still trying to convince my wife and 2 older

children to have hair tests, my test did show quite high arsenic but

as I met the counting rules I'm not sure if that means much----Kenny

>

> I assume you have HTI by how you have answered some of the

questions, so I would use that book and look for sources of exposure

to some of these metals, and make sure you have eliminated them, and

try to figure out if the bismuth is contamination or really coming

from him.

>

> Otherwise, I think your supplements are helping him alot, and I

would continue with that and with chelation, as it should help him

get rid of the metals. And keep working on the diet stuff, maybe

you'll find something there that will help with the tantrums.

>

> Good luck-------Jackie

You have given me a lot of good ideas and recommendations I am very

grateful for this.

On another note I'm still a bit unsure whether too and how too push

up his fT3's most of what I've read about Thyroids are geared up for

adults and have made me nervous about applying any of it to a 5yr old

and wiil probably post a question on the A-M list to see if other

parents have done anything similar or if anyone has any ideas here.

Thank you for your help it really is appreciated

Kenny
