Guest guest Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 My wife and I have been struggling with our 5 year old... We first noticed his aggression problems when he was around 1 after eating an apple. As the years have progressed we have found more and more things that cause his behavior to change. Orange juice causes him to have downright tourettes type symptoms, it's scary. Sodium Benzoate and Yellow #5 turn him into a monster for a day or two depending on his total intake. We have learned through our own trial and error what he can eat. The problem now is that he is in Kindergarten and we have little control over what his little friends might be sharing with him in the lunchroom. Also, there is an occasion when we go out to to eat we make a mistake because we can't read all the ingredients like we do at home before giving it to him. We really had no idea what was wrong with our child until we recently stumbled upon this article. http://www.enzymestuff.com/epsomsalts.htm This leads us to believe that our son definitely has a PST deficiency. At this point we don't even know if that is what we should call it. Anyway after researching tons of articles online we have found many suggestions. 1. Feingold diet - we have derived our own version of this with trial and error. We have been buying lots of All-Natural foods lately. 2. Epsom salt baths: we have not tried this yet 3. No-Feno: I ordered already 4. Cranberry juice: We read that it is possible that cranberry juice might be able to help reverse and episode if we accidentally give him something we shouldn't have. FYI - We did read the entire very lengthy Sulfur and PST document in the FILES folder. I also did extensive reading on Rosemary Warings's Epson salt studies, Dana's View website, No-Fenols website, etc... So to our questions... What is the proper term for my childs diagnosis as I don't think " PST deficiency " is accurate. We would like to not have to be so restrictive of his diet if possible as you know that can be very difficult. Do you think that using options 2-4 would ever allow him to safely eat more like all his friends? If there was one remedy that gave you miracle results to the PST deficiency what would it be? Has anyone done the MHPG Test as mentioned in this website below? http://www.feingold.org/Research/sinaiko.html Are there any other suggestion and/or remedies that I am missing? Thanks in advance!!!
