Guest guest Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Hello Dana and all, My 9 years old son is grinding his teeth very badly during the day and at night when he is sleeping. I thought it could be worms and I gave him Hulda's clark herbal treatment but he is still doing it. He looks quite pale, nervous and anxious lately and does not tolerate high levels of liquid multivitami(said they give him tummy ache), so I dropped them to the minimum as the skin on his hands became very hard and them started to peel as well(he told me they were itchy). Any idea of what he could have? and advice will be greatly appreciated. Olga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Hi, I read that 'teeth grinding' is related with 'sleep apnea' which could create behavioral issues during the day (from lack of restful nighttime sleep.) In our family, Candex helped with teeth grinding. Adding Brainchild Nutritionals mega-minerals and multivitamin also helped a lot.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Hi, Our son used to grind teeth a lot and we think it was yeast. With yeast treatment the grinding has stopped. Our daughter (13 months, NT so far) has been grinding her teeth from time to time. We noticed that she does this a day or so after giving her bananas. Don't know if that is the only factor. For her bananas are probably feeding yeast because when she is grinding teeth she also seems to have some sensory issues and sleeps less soundly from what we can tell (easily wakes up when we check on her at night). When she is not grinding teeth then she seems to sleep better, no real sensory issues, eats better, etc. The grinding also seems to go along with infrequent BMs. Once we get her bowels moving again she acts and feels better. > > > Hello Dana and all, > > > My 9 years old son is grinding his teeth very badly during the > day and > > > at night when he is sleeping. > > > > > > At my house, that meant mineral deficiency and yeast overgrowth. > > > > > > > He looks quite pale, nervous and anxious lately and does not > tolerate > > > high levels of liquid multivitami(said they give him tummy ache), > so I > > > dropped them to the minimum as the skin on his hands became very > hard > > > and them started to peel as well(he told me they were itchy). > > > > > > Increase the yeast protocol. > > > > Dana > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
