Re: New to the Board and need to know where to begin ADHD/Sensory Issues

[Guest guest]

– I did Houston Enzymes last summer the basic three chewables. I

didn’t think we saw a lot of changes over the summer except we had a pretty

good one. Was busy, moved, built a new house, moved, school started. I

fought with him so bad to take his enzymes, son now age 8 ¼, so we stopped

when school started. He started chewing, something he didn’t do at school,

crying at school, he didn’t do that either, was up at night, which was

really strange. Didn’t have any energy. Anyway, he asked to go back on

enzymes and he feels so much happier, more energy. So dug even harder and

started to really push!

I think enzymes helped more than I realized all summer. I also know since

he was a baby, he was a yeasty kid. Always in his groin area no matter what

all we tried, chronic ear infections, sound sensitive, night terrors, bm’s

always like mush. Anyway, tests showed c. difficile and clostridia and we

got on a yeast protocol and probiotics and use Brainchild Vit/min. Hair

testing, mercury toxic to chelation in the future too.

I love the book, “Healing the New Childhood Epidemics, Autism, ADHD, Asthma

and Allergies” by Bock. My 8 year old is PDD-NOS, high functioning,

bright but odd child. He’s got attention issues and looks pretty much ADHD

now, but not as bad as many. More issues to address and more things to add

to help correct. I also have a nt 6 year old with severe food allergies and

asthma issues in the past. Hopefully, that is in the past!

I did a bit with meds a year ago for my guy then at 7 1/2. He was so upset

with the patch, didn’t like the way it made him feel. Won’t swallow a pill

so opening up a capsule and putting it in apple sauce, he would almost gag

and throw up and was totally upset and complained. Anyway…..we didn’t see

any great results.

This past fall, within two weeks of starting enzymes, they were amazed at

his progress. I need more and am at a stand still getting him to swallow

pills. Very angry mom right now about that subject. But there are things

to address ADHD.

I encourage you to read books, follow these boards and you’ll learn so much.

Welcome!

ADHD/Sensory Issues

Hey Everyone. I just discoverd this board while I was searching for

help with some of my son's sensory issues (mainly the socks right

now!). My 7 year old son (1st Grade) was diagnosed with ADHD last

year. I had him tested twice, but I am still not 100% convinced. He

also has some low muscle tone issues and some sensority issues. He is

currently taking 18 MG of Strattera daily and I want to take him off of

his meds. They work well for his concentration but I just don't like

him taking them. Any suggestions on where to start would be greatly

appreciated.

Thanks!

This is commonly caused by milk intolerance and phenol issues

Try giving carnitine.

Try increasing the yeast protocol

Thanks for the reply! My son will actually swallow pills so what enzymes

would you suggest in the pill form?

Thanks for you help!

I think a good start would be to try one of the new ones, TriEnza. See how

that goes. Call for sample if you want. When guy starting swallowing

pills, I’ll be there. The new one they just announced a day or two ago,

Zycarb looks very useful for my guy too. We are on chewables for him which

cost more but at least he takes them and understands they make him feel

better. We do Zyme, Pet and Nofenol.

Hi ,

My DS11 has ADHD and Tourettes. I have not gone the medication route

with him. I had used supplements and diet for years with some good

results however the recent addition of enzymes have really

accelerated his improvement.

I use the powdered forms of AFP peptizyde, No Fenol, and Zyme prime.

I make up capsules and vary the enzymes according to what he is

eating. We had our first good growth spurt in several years after

starting the enzymes. He is completing more work, has fewer rages and

is interrupting less. This is a bit off track however I strongly feel

that the ADHD diagnosis can also be very environmentally driven. The

typical school is very tough on young busy boys. My son does best in

a school with loads of physical activity and permission to move

around as long as he does not interfere with the other student's

learning. I do wonder how many children are dxed with ADHD because of

the increased demands placed on them and the decreased time given to

recess and physical activity.

I also agree with the school demands and diagnosis of ASD symptoms. I

think that schools are becoming very academically driven and growth

and development issues are put under the spotlight starting K or maybe

even pre-K, which is too early in my opinion. Especially for little

boys and probably for active little girls too.

The HNI enzymes have helped tremendously with food sensitivities. My

older son (now 8) used to have tremendous mood swings with differnet

types of food but he has totally mellowed out after 1 year of starting

enzymes. The only thing I have to make sure is that they are drinking

lots of water with the enzymes. And we are also doing a GF and

occasional dairy (cheese with sandwich) diet. Houston Neutra. has very

generous sample packets of enzymes for experimenting what works.
