epsom salt bath ?

[Guest guest]

I just gave my son his first epsom salt bath last week. I screwed up

because I put an entire cup in the water and he sat in it for 20

minutes.

That very night and every night since, 4nights. He has had a hard time

going to sleep. It is highly unusual for my son to not fall asleep

right at tuck in.

He used to do this every night before we started feingold. That was

2 1/2 years ago.

Could this be the epsom salt bath? Seems like it's lasting a long time.

The night after the epsom salt bath we started a round of chelation

with dmsa. Could this have added to the problem?

I was wondering if this is an allergic type reaction or detox.

Any ideas?

Hi,

We started with 1/2 cp twice a week at first, then worked up to a cup

twice a week. We havn't yet started chelation, but I've heard it stirs

up all kinds of things that keep little ones up. I would pull back the

quantity of the baths for now, to just 2/week. Maybe supplement with

Mag Sulph cream every day - we do and it helps.

Hope this helps,

Susi

Sometimes this is caused by too-fast detox. Try 1/4 cup next time,

and address any dietary phenols with something like No-Fenol enzyme also.

Yes, chelation tends to increase yeast, and yeast overgrowth can

affect sleep. Try increasing the yeast protocol.
