Guest guest Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Hi everyone, Yesterday we had our IEP Team meeting for my son, who is going into first grade. We met with his teacher, OT, speech, adjustment counselor, SPED coordinator for the district, the principal and a first grade teacher from his new school. Everyone was very nice and had good things to say about the progress he's made, his enthusiasm, his general attitude, his academic performance, etc. The one issue everyone came back to was his inability to focus, and their concern that this is slowing down his academic progress. Right now he's in the middle of the pack, so to speak, but their concern is that he is too easily distracted to concentrate and may fall behind in first and second grade. We want him mainstreamed, so he's going into a regular Gr. 1 classroom next year, with paraprofessional support during the English and math. I feel like he's come so, so far in the past year, but I am concerned abou tthe focus issue. Some days he is just " on " and so present... other days it's like he's asleep with his eyes open and it doesn't matter what you do or say, he's just not there. Any suggestions for how to improve this? Thanks, Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 How do you know what supplements to use during the detox? We already tried DMSA and it was a horrible experience! Our son was so cranky and depressed during it and we only lasted 6 wks! Do you think we had removed much in that short of time? Do you do yeast protocol the whole time? If I use ALA how much do I use for a 11 yr. old at 80 lbs.? I'm homeschooling him so I can work with the ups and downs of detox. When is a child too old to detox? I hear the younger they are the better the outcome! Thanks so much Dana! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 We are using NCD(natural cellular defense). Do you think NCD is as effective as ALA or DMSA?

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 IMO Andy Cutler chelation is the safest and cheapest way to chelate, other methods are risky. http://home.earthlink.net/~moriam/Andy_dose_sched.html Kenny > > We are using NCD(natural cellular defense).

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 > How do you know what supplements to use during the detox? Lots of research. > We already tried DMSA and it was a horrible experience! Our son was so cranky and depressed during it and we only lasted 6 wks! Do you think we had removed much in that short of time? Do you do yeast protocol the whole time? I have had to use a yeast protocol for most of the last 5 years. > If I use ALA how much do I use for a 11 yr. old at 80 lbs.? I started low dose and gave it 3x per day. That worked very well here. >>I'm homeschooling him so I can work with the ups and downs of detox. When is a child too old to detox? I hear the younger they are the better the outcome! I have chelated myself. I was in my 30s when I started. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, based on my research and also my experience, ALA is the most effective and has the fewest potential side effects.
