We did give him Adrenal cortex (organic glandular) and he became

extremely hyper although I must admit it was an adult dose so it is

something I may consider again but low and slow although

unfortunately the caps came in 250mg doses. Kenny

=====If you want to try it again, you could split those caps into smaller

doses, or Thorne does make a 50mg capsule size, and this one has been

recommended by Andy in the past.----------Jackie

be bringing on these bad days, either by feeding yeast, or possibly a

food allergy/reaction? Maybe sulfur foods or phenols/salicylates

(things requiring sulfation?) or others? Have you checked out the

How to pick a Diet file written by Andy?----------Jackie

It is something that I've looked at on the A-M and enzyme lists

and it does seem like trial and error methods so it is something that

I think that I will have to be more systematic at, it's a worry as a

5yr old ASD kid can't really tell you if somethings making him feel

worse or better. He is also GFCF and on a low GI diet due to his

Ca/Mg: 37-1. We have done a sulfur exclusion trial but not

phenols/salicyates to be honest it can all get a bit bewildering for

me and I am easily bewildered at the best of times. Kenny

=====Believe me, I understand. It's alot to take in and learn 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.

Here's just some suggestions. Maybe you could keep a food diary, 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.

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?

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?

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.

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
