Hi , you should be tested for anti thyroid antibodies, FREE T3 and FREE

T4, and iodine status. It can be hard to find a doc who is helpful since

most look at TSH only. Read some good books, look at topdocs list

http://www.geocities.com/thyroide

http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com

A great book is Hypothyroidism: the Unsuspected Illness by Broda MD

new book is Hypothyroidism, type 2 the Epidemic by Mark Starr.

Oh , I really do feel for you. My son was so like that at that

age. Anytime anyone got him or me anything nice I would actually get

mad that they wasted the money . He drew on everything, got food on

everything, broke everything, smeared dozens of eggs all over the

kitchen on a routine basis, would run out of the house and hide, taking

him in public was a nightmare, etc. Back then I didn't know anything

about any " problems " he might have had and was just mad at him for

driving me crazy. I thought he was doing it on purpose or just didn't

care what he was doing. I scolded, lectured, yelled, spanked, grounded,

took away toys. None of it worked. Traditional discipline just does

not work with many of our kids. Which is maddening as the traditional

stuff is pretty much all we as parents have in our arsenal. The only

thing that I found worked at that age and up until recently was positive

reinforcement. It still works best (my son is 9) but he is now old

enough (and being treated properly) to not have meltdowns or freak out

over simple punishments. To do that you have to strip down all the fun

stuff to " privileges " which they have to earn, but your son is kind of

young to get that.

Anyway as for practical advice, get a big lockbox or put a padlock on a

closet or the garage or something to put your valuables in. Treat your

stuff like you have a ginourmous infant in the house and get everything

out of reach (including standing on chair height). For the china

cabinet, you can get these wall anchors (they sell them in most child

safety sections) that keep the cabinet from falling over. As for the

fridge, you can always put a lock on it. I did until my son figured it

out, which honestly only took a couple months. If you don't mind

marring the appearance of your fridge, you could always put a more

permanent lock on than what they sell for kids.

Next, get him formally assessed by a psychologist or pediatrician

knowledgeable about Aspergers. If and when he gets the diagnosis you

can look into all sorts of therapies that can help him. There is

occupational therapy that can help with the feeding and other issues,

ABA therapy, counseling (though he's young for it), special education

programs, social skills groups, etc.

And yes, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. There is always

hope. He will get older and his reasoning will improve, he won't eat as

messily, he won't break all your possessions and he will communicate

better. This is not to say he won't find new ways to drive you up the

wall (mine did) but at least things WILL change, I promise.

Best of luck to you and your son,

Tabitha

( ) HELP!

My son just turned 5...he is not yet officially diagnosed, but all

who work with him says he has all the symptoms of Aspbergers, anyway

his scattered skills range from 24 mos. to 6 years. The problem is

he's mentally like a 2 year old as far as acting on impulses, but

physically is 5 so he can actually do the things a two year old

can't. He has broken almost everything I've owned, jewlery, makeup,

perfume, nick nacks, climbs up on my china cabnet, etc. I have

tried timeouts and I physically have to hold him in the time out and

it's way too stressfull on me to do it anymore. I've finally

resorted to threatning to break his Buzz Lightyears every time he

breaks one of my things. (he is obsessed with Buzz and the gang from

Toy Story) He has a high vocabulary, but I don't know how to get

through to him....as my mom used to put it so often when I was

growing up " I might as well go talk to a tree " When I got him at

nine months, (he's adopted) and when he was two...I used to gush

about how calm he was...how he never got into anything....I long for

those days now. Being a single mom with him and his 6 year old

sister is wearing on me big time, tonight he broke my favorite

necklace my mother got me. Does it ever stop???? I also have to

help feed him...(he's about as messy as a 2 year old when it comes

to feeding himself) If I don't get him juice or something to drink

right at the moment he wants it he goes into the fridge and tries to

do it himself and makes a mess...Is there a light at the end of the

tunnel? and does anyone have any suggestions???? HELP!

I can only sympathise with you , my five year old HFA son is exactly the

same. I used to brag about how quiet he was and how he never got into anything

and then when he hit 5 it was like the terrible twos came. I am interested to

Dear ,

I'm putting on my fire repellant suit now. I really feel for you! I

remember taking care of my ds who was 3 at the time. I was ill (I've

been ill since his pregnancy) and this was my first child. I kept

taking him to the doctors and saying this child is not acting right --

breaking things, tantrums, etc. Any idea he got in his head, he

would do. No negative or positive reinforcement worked. Everyone

patted me on the head and said I just was a nervous new mother and

nothing was wrong. When ds was 4 we got him evaluated by the school

and reevaluated by his pediatrician. They both said he had adhd. At

that time he started on medication (I believe adderall that was later

changed to ritalin). I hated doing it, but the difference was night

and day. All the behavior training we had tried previously began to

work. It was like a wall was there where all behavior modification

therapies bounced off the wall until the medication dissolved the

wall.

Now medication and behavior modification alone did not fix

everything. We discovered when ds finished 1st grade hating school

(and after not really learning anything) that he wasn't adhd, but

actually AS! So in many ways we had done the right things, but in

many ways we hadn't done some of the necessary things. We are still

working on those necessary things. But ds still remains on his

Concerta (the timed release form of ritalin). And everytime we do

take him off of it (he's 12 now), that wall bounces right back up and

nothing we do can reach him until he starts his medication again.

Hope this helps. Taking off the fireproof clothes now.

[Guest guest]

K... Same thing happened to me..

Here is what I did..

Prepare a bunch of snacks in easy serve containers..

Diced carrots.. Etc.. Whatever he likes.. With a lid on it.. And he can self

serve.

Also.. SIPPY CUPS>> Sippy cups.. RULE!! And are easily filled.. Get about 6

- 10 of them.. Pre filled with .. Juice .. Or milk.. Or whatever he likes..

And this is also stored in the fridge for easy access.

He is a bright intelligent boy.. Take solace in that.. And hope it keeps

your sanity Hon.. LOL.. Honestly.. I remember those days.. I was single too

It does get better.. Trust me!

Also.. Make sure they are the drip free sippy cups.. LOL otherwise.. It can

mean a great fun thing for him to drip stuff all over..

Oh yeah and meanwhile.. Get a lock for your toilet.. I believe it was around

this time where my son decided.. It was fun to watch EVERYTHING get flushed

down the toilet.. A very expensive venture.. But it solved the mystery of

the missing toothbrushes!!

Dear C,

Why do you feel that you need a fire repellant suit? Nobody's going

to flame you for doing what works for your child! We're in the

process of finding out what meds work for our child, too. And most

likely, it will turn out to be quite a little cocktail, as we're

treating him as if he were bipolar. (I am, and he's got lots of the

symptoms.) I'm glad you've found something that's helpful!

Ahhhhhh yes, I remember days like those......

My son is now 8 yrs old.....I remember when he was 2 yrs old and I

bragged about what a good child I had.....I never needed any locks on

the doors or cabinets like everyone else did......not until he was

around 4 or 5.....then I had one very large 2 year old (with an

incredible vocabulary) on my hands (I too was a single mom then).

The meltdowns were maddening.....still are but they are getting less

frequent (due to age and therapies). Hang in there,

Hi Olif

After about 2 weeks on the anti-candida regime, I suddenly got horribly

nauseous and threw up about 3 times. I was so sick that I had to take 2

days off work. The nausea lasted about 2 weeks, but after that it went

away and I felt a lot better. It was definitely die-off for me, most

likely for you too. If it is too bad, give yourself a day off

anti-fungals and then cut back for a few days. You don't want to

overtax your liver.

Good luck.

Keen

help!

Okay, I have been bloated for a few days and slightly nauseous for a

day. Well, this evening I was extremely nauseous, have diarrhea and

eventually threw up. I honestly feel better after throwing up. Is this

die off? I feel like I have the flu. If this is die off, I need to slow

down on the antifungals! I have been taking them for 2 1/2 weeks now.

Thanks,

Olif

[Guest guest]

Okay...well this explains a lot of what I've been feeling. Too sick to eat

much of anything. It must be die off.

Thank you, Keen! I felt like I was dieing this morning too. I am going to keep

off the antifungals today and then try half doses tomorrow. I am supposed to

drive 7 hours to see a relative in a few days. Will it hurt anything if I keep

to half doses of my antifungals until I get back (a week) as long as I stick to

the diet?

Thanks,

Olif

[Guest guest]

Nausea might relate to toxin load -- have you done some liver

flushes, which will reduce toxin recirculation, or provided the

necessary liver support with glutatione precursors?

Nausea could also relate to electrolyte imbalance, maybe potassium

deficiency.

I have only been taking zeolite and green clay for toxins. I have also been

taking Vickery's Platinum Plus amino acids, which is supposed to help with

toxins over time, but I have only been taking it for a couple weeks.

I am not sure if I am consuming foods rich in potassium. I am eating meat,

veggies, and nuts. I am taking ConcenTrace liquid mineral supplement. I am not

sure of the potassium content. Since I am also slightly dizzy, I imagine it is

due to toxins.

Thanks,

Olif

[Guest guest]

It shouldn't do any harm. I read that you should not overtax your liver

by trying to get rid of the toxins too quickly. I wish I had read that

when I was sick! Just keep to the diet and stick to the half doses.

Olif,

On the Vickery's, amino acids do not detoxify, and there is not

nearly enough cystine in it to create adequate glutathione that

would. Your amino acid needs including the glutathione production

would be satisfied with cold-processed whey, which would also produce

more detoxifying glutathione.

Sodium is an exemplary potassium depletor, so along with taking

potassium supplements you'd reduce salt intake. I use " No-Salt " from

the supermarket to increase my potassium even though I also eat lots

of veggies that contain potassium.

Concentrace is probably the most expensive mineral supplement; to

avoid unnecesary expense I use montmorillonite (clay) that contains a

high percentage of decayed ocean phytoplankton, thus their minerals,

in bioavailable form. Neither one provides adequate potassium; a

common supplemental potassium regimen might start at just under five

grams (about a tsp) daily, so go ahead and use it.

Have you ever heard of potassium humulate? Someone suggested it for us,

Dear edge

I will give credit to my buddy in Oregon , Trisha another tech educator:

1 hour = 60 minutes

1 grain = 60 mg

Also the more exact is 64.8 but not necessary to use that. It can also be 65 mg.

Rule of thumb: if the number of mg ends in a 0 try 60 then 65 to find the answer

closest to the test possibilities.

Rule if the number of mg ends in a 5 try 65 then 60 to find the anser closest to

the test possibilities.

You may have to round to the nearest whole number.

In real life? the label will indicate, and if not use the above rule.

Hope this helps.

[Guest guest]

depends on the answers (pctb is multiple choice last i

knew) The 64.8 must be the exact conversion, as I

don't remember seeing it. what is commonly used is

either 60mg or 65mg. that is why a 5 grain tablet of

aspirin is 325mg, whereas a 5 grain tablet of ferrous

sulfate is 300mg. I know there is a more technicial

way of explaining it, but that is my real world

way--Jeanetta or one of the textperts can go more

technicial if its needed.

Karin I already explained it. Pretty much the same way.

the 64.8 is based upon th e fact that 1 fl oz and 1 dry oz are not really 30

ml either. They are some other number less than 30 which is not at my fingertips

at the moment.

No matter you and I have explained it that either 65 or 60 can be used in the

real world. In a tutorial I have the technical explanation. However it is not

needed as the PTCB questions will either use 60 or 65 mg = 1 grain.

Thanks Karin for your input!

depends on the answers (pctb is multiple choice last i

knew) The 64.8 must be the exact conversion, as I

don't remember seeing it. what is commonly used is

either 60mg or 65mg. that is why a 5 grain tablet of

aspirin is 325mg, whereas a 5 grain tablet of ferrous

sulfate is 300mg. I know there is a more technicial

way of explaining it, but that is my real world

way--Jeanetta or one of the textperts can go more

technicial if its needed.

Corn, according to the diet we are on, should not be touched for the

first 3 - 6 months. Many people also have allergies to corn (which we

do).

Soy I avoid completely, I've read really bad things about what it does

to your body - try googling.

We have eaten tomatoes from the beginning with no problems.

We completely avoid dairy, so no butter either. The fat triggers our

IBS.

Hope that helps.

Hi!

I've been treating myself to get off-candida since 3 weeks... I'm

sick, really sick, for 15 years... and i'm not 30 years old yet!!!...

so this diet and diagnostic is " kind of " my last chance to get

better... I get confuse about some restriction about the diet, because

some of advice are opposite depend on the list and group you check...

so i ask for your own advice and knowledge...

What about corn? (vegetable and flour)

What about soy? (flour and seed)

What about tomatoes?

What about butter?...

Thanks for your help... i'm new in that group and i'm very grateful

that i've find you... feel less alone now...

Thanks for your answer!!!

Hi Helen,

I can't give specific recommendations regarding home remedies

(medication-type), but would strongly recommend a humidifier/vaporizer to help

keep the secretions thinned out. We didn't do this when our family caught a bug

and we're all coughing long after the other symptoms are gone (but better now

that we are using the humidifier).

Hope this helps.

I've got a remedy that always works very well for my kids when they

get sick like that. Make a tea with the following herbs: echinacea--

root or leaf, doesn't matter. Use about two teaspoons per kid per

day. Also one clove of fresh garlic per kid per day. Slice or crush

the garlic a little before you make tea with it. Use about two cups

of water per kid per day to make the tea. If the kid has fever, also

add about two teaspoons of feverfew leaf per kid per day to the tea.

Give each kid about two ounces of tea at least once every four hours.

My health food store has a bulk herbs section where I can buy one

ounce or less of each of these herbs, so it doesn't cost much money at

all to get my kids over colds and flus. The feverfew should get rid

of fever by the second dose. It may not go down much after the first

dose but it should go down quite a bit or disappear after the second.

The runny nose & congestion should get better right away.

I've never tried these, but I've read that juniper leaf tea, spruce

tip tea, and mustard plasters are good for congestion also.

I give extra vitamin C, Virastop enzyme, and olive leaf extract. This

combination works very well for colds and flu at my house.
