Guest guest Posted September 10, 2000 Report Share Posted September 10, 2000 Hello Laurie, First of all don't panic. This is a doable situation. Do not let yourself be rushed into buying supplements, cures, chemos, radiations, surgery, domestic clinics, or foreign clinics. The decisions that you (pl.) make now can now can affect outcome. At this stage virtually all conventional treatment is palliative, or so it claims. This is not what I have seen. With stage IV lung to bone, conventional medicine offers very little. Your oncologist, if he/she has an open mind, may help you by monitoring progression or regression of the tumors, tracking lab values, dealing with pleural effusion, preventing infection, etc. They are not much use in assessing anything that you need to know about alternative strategies. As to diet, have him stay away from sugar and anything sweet. This is very, very important. As to cancer diets, most of them are quite good even if they are exactly opposite from each other. The rule-of-the-thumb that I give my clients is to pick an anti-cancer diet that is very different from what one's normal diet would be. But be sensible too. If he doesn't drink coffee, now is not the time to pick up the habit. In general it is very good to increase intake of vegetables -- raw is usually preferred, but carrots and tomatoes are beneficial even if cooked. Don't overdo it on sweet fruits unless you are working with a naturopath or wholistic practitioner who has experience in these methods. A quality flax seed oil is a must as a nutritional adjuvant for most any therapy. Listen to those on the list who have experience in it's use. Some things that are touted on the list can be quite good. In the list of products that I consider generally good, not too expensive, and rarely a downside, I would include Hulda , laetrile, Hoxey or Essiac type formulations, the mushroom formulations, and a variety of lesser known nutrients. The list is often abused by those trying to sell mediocre products with a scientific-sounding pitch and a heart-warming sob story. There are some products that are horrifyingly bad, but do sound reasonable to those who are not trained in the sciences. If you live in the Southern California area, I could try to help you without trying to sell you anything. There are several list members with lung cancer and blessed with good sense and you might contact them. Alt is one such person. Keep in mind that the list has it's share of politics, true believers, and economic interests. Factor all this into your decision making.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Lynette how exhausting. I know from experience how difficult this is. I am often ready for bed by 3pm in the afternoon. My daughter is now 12. Some things are better. For sure it is easier to talk to her about her behavior now. One thing that was successful for us was to limit transitions, decisions and keep life structured. She was better when life was predictable. But she still had meltdowns anytime we were in public because life is just not predictable. What is your son typically demanding? I have worked with behaviorist and they have recommended picking one or two problem behaviors and work on that with a reward system. Pam > > Hi my name is Lynette.and my 5 year old son (Aspie) has problems with demanding things. & screaming what he wants. I have tried to explain to him that he needs to ask a certain way,I will role model, but he will not do it.He just gets so frustrated that the screaming & demanding turn into a tantrum. I don't know how to get him to change, I Need Help!!! Lynette > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 One thing we did with success was to state what our ds wanted in the "correct" way and have him repeat that. So if he said, "P-E-P-S-I" (he often spelled what he wanted and could not say it as a real word), I would then say, "Reece says, 'I want a pepsi.'" He was taught that this was his cue to repeat what I say after "Reece says". So he would then be able to say, "I want a pepsi" and I'd then get him a drink. He had a number of problems learning to talk, so this was used well within a variety of problem areas for him. Now, I'm not sure if the problem is that he can't say what he wants effectively or he has no patience and that is why he is screaming at you. But we just kept at it, keeping calm and expecting him to at least attempt to repeat it correctly. One idea is to practice this routine for fun things - when eating a bag of M & M's for instance, model, "Can I have another one?" and have him ask correctly. If he can learn it in a nice/fun way, he will be more likely to do it when he's under stress. Another idea is to write social stories about similar situations he usually has trouble with and go over how the conversation should go in that situation. Again, read these during fun play times and not when he is upset or tantruming. Try also to catch him before he gets so frustrated that he is tantruming. With my older ds, I could usually see signs that he was "ramping up" and getting frustrated. So we could try to change or limit the situation and attempt to cut off the oncoming tantrum. If you provide plenty of "stress releasing" activities throughout the day, it might also help limit tantrums. Many times, these are referred to as "sensory diets" or "sensory breaks." If he is rather hyper or gets that way, it might be worthwhile to incorporate a trip to the trampolene every 2 hours or something similar. This might help him not save up his stress/anxiety levels. But also, hang in there! It should get better as he gets older. But it just takes a lot of time and patience on your part to keep pushing him to ask appropriately. It may seem like it will never sink in! But keep going forward. Roxanna "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." E. Burke ( ) I Need Help!!!!
