Re: New to the group - 6 yr old with Asperger's

[Guest guest]

I would recommend that you check out this site. www.tacanow.com

Things you should strongly consider...

Gluten Free / Casein (that's all dairy) free and soy free diet OR SCD

(specific carboyhdrate diet)

M B-12 shots

And you'll definitely want to do some testing, and see if he has yeast or

bacteria.

Probiotics

Cod Liver Oil

Basic Vitamin and Mineral Supplements

This is just a starting list! By the way, the symptoms your son has are

pretty much exactly what my son had. We didn't get an autism diagnosis till he

was 7. He was my first child too and didn't start standing out from his peers

until kindergarten.

I am new to the group to, but have a 6 yo with autism and have

recently decided to go down this path with . Mostly the reason

is Kirby's Evidence of Harm.

Here is a table taken out of Kirby's evidence of harm:

I have been reading Evidence of Harm by Kirby and I found this

table put together by Amy Holmes,

She conducted a study compiling data on kids with autism who had

chelation therapy for four months.

Age

1-5 35% showed marked improvement 39% Moderate 15% slight and 11%

none

6-12 4% marked improvement 28% Moderate 52%slight and 16% none

13-17 0% marked 6% moderate 68% slight and 26% none

18 +0%marked 0% moderate 25% slight 75% none

My son is 6. I am seriously considering chelation at this time. So

we will both have a chance of 33% moderate improvement.

This book really was a hard read. It was good though. I think

everybody especially affected families should read it.

This book really was a hard read. It really outlines that in many

ways that mercury poison=autism. I find it terribly ironic that as

rates in California are dropping since removing thimerasol from the

vaccines the (http://www.aapsonline.org/press/nr-03-02-2006.php) the

CDC and the FDA have the guts to authorize Thimerasol

flu vaccinations for use in young kids this season!

If this was a infectious desease, and the rates had went from 1 in

10,000 to 1 in 166 we'd have military in the streets.

As it is Autism makes up .33% of the NIH budget.

What I would do would be to first get a hair test to see what is going on there.

Essential Fatty Acids are very important.

Probiotics are as well, especially if there is a history of antibiotic use.

B-12 is great, you can get it in chewables or shots. Chewables are easily

available, shots require Rx. B-6 was also an important one for us.

Digestive enzymes would also be great to try out. What kind of diet does your

son like? Does he crave certain foods, avoid certain ones...picky with what he

will eat?

I would also look into a good multivitamin, really good quality.

There are a ton of different supplements but you can't start them all in one

day. These would be my starting ones and then see what he does well with and

what his needs are. A hair test will show a lot. That is very important.

What is also very important is the chelation protocol you are using. How much

does your son weigh, how much DMSA are you giving and how often??? Are you

seeing results? DMSA is a good starting point. ALA will be needed at some

point, there is time for that though.

You are in a great place for help. I have been doing biomed for 4 years now.

My son was diagnosed at age two and is now almost 6 1/2. Please ask questions.

It is easy to get overwhelmed and a very normal reaction! There is probably

dozens of topics/supplements being discussed at any given time. Stick around

and read...read...read. Soon you will be a pro!!!

Wishing your son tremendous gains!!

I would like to know about similar cases and what course of action has

worked better for you.

I'd really appreciate any input on this matter.
