Try giving him the squash French fries from the pecan bread web site.

<<He has felt much better today and is frequently asking for the epsom salt

baths. Is it

safe to give him 3x day? >>

Yes,..... I think it's fine to give him 3x per day. If he's asking for them, it

must be truly helping him feel better. That's great.

<<She is toe-walking, having headaches and

getting rather errr--combative with her brothers. All

she wants to do today is watch the same video over and

over. Noises that never bothered her are now causing

her to scream and cover her ears crying: " stop,

Stop...! " I hate to write this, but it's as if our

only NT child is becoming autistic. Please help me

understand what is happening. If this is " die-off "

still, when should I hope for a sign that she's coming

out of it? Why is she having such a hard time? >>

I'm sorry she's having such a hard time with die-off..... yes, I still think

this is ALL die-off. It's surprising, I know.... but I can only guess that her

gut must have been far more messed up than you realised. Each child is affected

so differently. I don't know how long it will take.... again, each one is

different. I hope she feels better soon.
