Supplements and Heart Beat - HELP NEEDED

December 15, 2008

Sorry for the cross post but I really need to find someone who might know

this information.

History:

7yo son w/ Autism, diagnosed with mild heart murmer at birth, had him

checked by a pediatric cardiologist 1-2 years ago (can't remember exact

date), still had murmer but was given the green light for sport activities.

Seen regular doc for regular visits, and most recently saw a Developmental

Ped in October 08. No mention ever given of an irregular/irregular

heartbeat. I called cardiologist to double check, nothing in the records, I

will call newest ped later to check with her.

I am considering treating with Chinese Medicine and took his pulse, when I

found an irregular heartbeat. If this had always been there I wouldn't be

concerned but apparantly it hasn't. Part of me realizes his pulse fits

perfectly with his diagnosis in Chinese Medicine so that is keeping me

somewhat calm, but we recently started alot of BioMed and I am concerned

that it could be a supplement. I'd like to see if anyone has any thoughts

on the following supplements being a factor?

Supplements

Houston Enzymes - TriEnza, NoFenol (have done these enzymes previously even

before Cardiologist appt)

Nordic Naturals - Nordic Berries, DHA Junior 8 gels, CLO 2 tsp (alternate

CLO/DHA daily)

Biotin 10,000 - 20,000 mcg daily

Kirkland Calcium citrate 250mg/Mag 40mg (also has Vit D, B6, Zinc, Copper,

Manganese)

Natural Calm Magnesium 300mg

mb12 1000mcg, folinic acid 400mcg, acetyl l carnitine 250mg (has only had

two doses of these starting four days ago)

GSE - 3 drops

Renew Life & Culturelle Probiotic

BComplex

We are seeing terrific gains, getting close to recovery so I am very, very

surprised to see his pulse like this. I will write to the TCM group

separately about his TCM stuff as I was going to do this anyway, but needed

some immediate help with what might be going on, I don't want to be putting

my son in danger. And really I am not a sensationalist, if anything I under

react - just to give perspective, lol.
