Re: i am new to the biomedical things.....please help

[Guest guest]

Your son sounds a lot like mine was at that age, he is now almost recovered at

6. Knowing what I know now, here is the order that I would do things in:

First thing is DIET!! Do the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (we do the version

called GAPS). It is very hard, but it will take care of many of the issues that

biomed address and will actually save you effort and money. If you can't bring

yourself to do it, do gluten-free, casein-free, soy-free, WITHOUT relying on

starchy and sugary foods- those can make a lot of things worse that you are

trying to treat. Of course, you do the best you can, and work towards what is

best if that is all your kid will eat that is GF/CF/SF.

The next things to look at are:

Probiotics- do these along with diet. Rotate them, and go up to at least 10

billion CFUs per day.

Add basic multivitamin (specific to the spectrum) and Cod Liver Oil (making sure

they are diet legal).

You may also want to try enzymes at this point- if you are SCD, this may not be

necessary.

Test for Pyrroluria- everyone on the spectrum should be screened for this. It

means you need extra B6 and zinc and addressing it can have an amazing impact on

people.

Next steps:

If you are not doing SCD, you will probably need to address yeast. Do an

Organic Acid Test from Great Plains and look for the arabinose marker. Stool

tests are unreliable (although can be helpful), treat any yeast aggressively.

Address specific nutritional deficiencies and develop a custom supplement

protocol. You won't need to do this as much if you are SCD, but certain things

can really help, like zinc, extra vitamin C, DMG or TMG, and methylB12. This

can be driven both by testing and by observation of symptoms, also trial and

error.

Allergy tests are not reliable, they give a lot of false negatives, so don't

rely on them to determine diet. However, at this point they can be helpful in

giving you ideas of what else may be causing problems, such as egg. Cleaning up

the diet is an ongoing thing.

Consider mitochondrial support.

Later steps:

Once yeast is under control, look into viruses. Lots of kids are harboring

them. You may want to just try something like ViraStop that is broad spectrum,

or you may want to do blood tests to check if you suspect a specific one.

Once you get diet, supplements, and other stuff in place, you will probably want

to look into heavy metals and chelation, but not right away. As your child

heals his body may start to take care of some of this. There are also other

detox strategies such as Far Infrared Sauna that you might want to consider.

Look into Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT).

I'm sure I'm leaving out a lot of things. Other people will probably disagree

about he order of things. Different things work for different kids. For my son

the biggies have been- diet, yeast, mito support, and viruses. He needs

relatively low oxalate and low histamine in addition to GAPS diet. He did well

with GF/CF, sugar-free, etc, but the GAPS diet basically kicked him off the

spectrum. On GAPS he became socially outgoing, tells jokes, has friends, loves

to be part of the group, but still has a language delay and some oppositional

tendencies.

> Hi, I'm very new to learning about the biomedical interventions that can help

recover children from autism. My son is 3 years old and has PDD-NOS. He has a

lot of behavior issues, speech problems, and other developmental issues. I have

recently taken him to a pediatric physiologist who has directed me in the path

of biomedical, she has given me lots of information, but i have to be honest im

totally overwhelmed and i have no idea where to start. i'm wondering if anyone

knows anything about the blood test you can have done to find food allergies,

and which are the best? Also what vitamins, enzymes, supplements, etc. i should

be doing? If anyone can help me or give me advice i would greatly appreciate

it!!!!

The IGg test is for sensitivities, it was exactly right on with our daughter!
