Guest guest Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Morning all, I am trying to find information on serious poking at one's own eyes. I thought I had saved this information but cannot locate it. My memory tells me that it is a sign of serious calcium deficiency, but I would rather not rely on my memory. Could someone please enlighten me. Many thanks, Sylvia, Psychologist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Below is an answer that Dr. McCandless says about calcium deficiency and poking eyes. Source: http://www.latitudes.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=200 I read in Dr. Shaw's book -- or heard at a lecture by him-- that some kids who are very calcium deficient may injure their eyes, and that if you child hits or pokes at his eyes this should be looked into and supplemented. Any thoughts on that? Thank you. Am learning a great deal from your posts. Sahib Dear Sahib: Certainly with self-injury the imbalance of minerals would be the first thing to investigate, and calcium deficiency is rampant in our kids, especially those with heavy-metal poisoning and of course all our kids on the GF/CF diet. I have heard of kids being properly supplemented with calcium and achieving almost immediate cessation of eye-poking; not always, however, and mineral/vitamin testing may have to be done to get them properly regulated. Behavior modification must play an important role along with the bio-medical interventions here as in many other behaviors in our kids. It is a very painful condition, and must be treated vigorously to prevent serious eye injury. Jaquelyn (McCandless) From: Sylvia <smithsd@...> Subject: Poking at eyes biomedicalautismgroup@...

Yes, pressing on the eyes is a sign of calcium deficiency. Consider not just increasing calcium, but also adding or increasing the nutrients that calcium requires for proper absorption.
