Now into week 8 biomed

[Guest guest]

I kind of noticed good results the first month, but it seems we are

just kind of at a stand still right now. Please look over my journal

entry summary for the past 2 weeks and let me know if there is

something I am missing, something you all think I could try

increasing, or something I might need to add. We have not yet

implemented a specific diet.

Adult 2- Sinus infection cleared up, but fluid in ears continues

constantly as before. Increased appetite and increased craving for

beef. Followed by few days with fatigue. Some days slight headache

and stomach ache. Felt a slight yeast infection after period. BMs

mostly daily, some days multiple BMs. Couple of days there was

evidence of yeasts being expelled. Began runny nose again with

outdoor activities and after cleaning house. Weather is heating up

70's and 80's. Skin reaction to " green " cleaner. Felt better after

washing couple of times with soap and putting organic lotion on.

Missed a couple of nights of magnesium- date night, visiting mom in

hospital and autism support meeting nights. Wasn't consistent with

OLE, wondering if counteracting probiotics. Started consistently

again in the mornings, when runny nose started. Began 1 Candex before

going to sleep at night. After that began with increased urination at

night and waking up with full, painful bladder. Not sure if OLE was

fighting a urinary tract infection? Or can yeasts attack the bladder?

Upset stomach after starting Candex. Also began to have some

tightness in chest. Started to exercise, 30 minute video workout,

last day of the week.

Child 1 (4 1/2 yrs, ASD)- He has only napped a few times these last

two weeks. Couple of days up 1-2 hours early in the morning. Couple

of days behavior and stimming worse in evening because tired and

unable to rest. Other days has been okay. Some days response time is

getting good, in terms of answering questions. (What did you have for

snack at school?) Also for following directions. Some verbal stimming

on some days- screaming " for no reason " or repetitive syllables. Had

stopped OLE for a while, but am trying to start again since runny

noses are back with the warm weather and flowering desert trees. Has

been sleeping nights, as well as naps, in underwear. Only one

accident, one morning, when he went in bed before he could get up to

go to the potty. BMs every other day or more often. Epsom baths 2-4

times a week. Wanting to help with some household chores, tried to

help mop this last week. Is pedaling and steering tricycle well now

on flat or downhill surfaces. Can stand on scooter with one foot and

take small steps to push with the other. Had a couple of " flight or

fight " situations. Once at school when his OT changed his room

around, he had problems with the light sensor. Another day his

brother turned on the fan that used to spark and trip the breaker,

but doesn't anymore. Some days he is now hugging me when I pick him

up from school, he used to ignore me or kind of slap at me with both

hands on my stomach. He is giving and asking for more hugs and kisses

throughout the day. Have only been doing brushing and joint

compressions 2-4 times lately. Without him napping, he throws off my

routine. OT wants him to continue with 4 daily and to begin the

spinning protocol for vestibular system 2 times a day for 4 weeks.

Child 2 (3 yrs, SPD)- Is now pretty fairly well potty trained (after

only 1 month in underwear). Has some fear of the big toilet, but is

getting over it. Has gone on own to restroom, pulled down underwear

and gone on own. He says when he has to go. Has gone standing up a

couple of times now. Using pullups for nap and nighttime, but they

are always dry now. I have noticed that he does not drink enough

throughout the day, does not urinate often, some days only twice. He

no longer has BMs that alternate between small hard balls and

unformed, but are now between unformed and good texture. One day he

had a very large BM, not usual for him and then no more hard balls.

He has larger BMs now than before these two weeks, but now misses a

day here and there. Naps are down to usually 1 hour a day. Some days

2 and one day he didn't nap at all. He goes to bed between 9 and 11.

One of us has to be with him until he falls asleep (so does his

brother, so it only helps when both parents are home at bedtime.)

Worked some on tricycle skills, can pedal one rotation, but not steer

at the same time. Is beginning to have a hard time on swings. Only

tolerating a few low swings. Use to be his favorite. Tried to help me

mop. Increased fear of washing hair. Used to whine when we washed

hair with water going in face (did this way since a baby so they'd be

use to water in the face.) Now we have organic (non- no-tears) and

they have to put head back to rinse. He's having a hard time with

head in this position and when getting water in his eyes. One day I

noticed him running in circles by himself, he was singing as well, so

might have been " dancing " and not stimming. ?? Also began giving

kisses, then nipping us at end. One day kissed my arm, then licked

it. ?? Some periods of hitting with toys, throwing things, smiling

with scoldings, deliberately doing what told not to do and crying

easily, but nowhere near the way he was before starting biomed.

Noticed some days he has had lots of high phenol foods, but does not

show any redness on ears or face. As a baby, used to have redness

around anus. Maybe he does not have phenol issues like his brother

and I do.

This was usually yeast overgrowth, altho at times was mitochondrial

dysfunction.

This sounds like yeast overgrowth is being somewhat addressed by the

Candex.

OLE will increase yeast, because it works on viruses, and viral die

off causes a lot of yeast..

>> Or can yeasts attack the bladder?

Yes

Yeast overgrowth and/or phenol issues

As above, this will increase yeast, but it will also help with viruses.

At my house, spinning and vestibular issues meant yeast overgrowth in

the ears.
