Guest guest Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 So well said. This last weekend my son seemed spaced out. He even flapped his hands a bit and turned in circles. He has only ever done this once or twice before. I used to think these episodes were caused by dairy.. He has been off dairy for a while. I did give him an oat bar and realize, yes there was dairy, but there was also sugar. We spent the weekend with friends, and long story short he had a lot of sugar. Today is day 4 with no sugar. He is trying to use words again and his eye contact is amazing. This past weekend I couldn't even get him to attempt to say mama. Today he called me by saying mama! Jack is on a probiotic and Pau'darco to help with yeast. We are starting HBOT soon. Our DAN doc says that HBOT kills yeast and has a repairative effect on the guts. I can't wait to start! I really feel more and more each day that these puzzles are starting to be solved. We cannot just pour ST,OT and PT on our kids and expect huge changes, we need to do more with diet and suppliment. I have ordered Nutriveda and cannot wait to start this too!

The biggest belief in the biomed world is the existence of Candida yeast.

Although Candida yeast can affect any part of the body, it originates in the gastrointestinal tract. Yeast organisms live in the gut and they survive by converting sugars into the energy they need to live. > > Controlling the diet is one of the chief means of reducing their ability to thrive. Since Candia's primary source of food is sugar, that is the most important food that must be removed from the diet. The more refined sugar or sugary foods that the kids eat the more fuel you provide for the " fungus " . Eating these sugars is like providing Candida yeast with an intravenous source of it's favorite food and it will grow like a wild weed out of control. > A decrease in Candida yeast decreases hyperactivity and self-stimulatory, stereotyped behavior and increases in eye contact, vocalization, and concentration. > Gymnema Sylvestre helps the pancreas to work efficiently which increases the release of insulin which helps to break-down sugar. This would surely help to reduce the Candida yeast and improve vocalization and concentration. > > sowmya > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
