My 10 year old daughter (ASD) had PERFECT skin b4 halloween and ever

since then, after Thanksgiving/birthday's/Christmastime, her skin has

been going downhill. Part of me does NOT look forward to the holidays

because of what happens to my dd's body.....Darkness under eyes, more

pale face, eczema comes back because of going off the diet (normally

she's on a gluten-free, corn-free, soy-free diet, no artificial colors

or preservatives)

*Looks like the diet is working and worthwhile when you see this kind of

reaction to going off it.

.....And, as always, she continues to have reactions to

fragrances (perfume and other fragrances/chemicals)...We try to avoid

these things as much as possible, but it seems impossible around the

holidays! Dr. Houston's enzymes have helped a GREAT deal, and, although

doubling up on them when going off the diet helps, when we go off the

diet during the holidays once a week EVERY week for a couple of months

(along with the viruses that are out there), it's so harsh on her

system (I guess there's a build-up effect)! For the last few weeks

she's been waking up with a sore throat that goes away during the day

(I'm thinking it's either from the heat during the winter or there's a

virus hanging around at low levels)...She has also been having more

trouble with sleep issues for the past few weeks and has a VERY hard

time waking up in the morning

*Make sure your furnace filter/heating vents have been cleaned/replaced.

....I thank God for the flexibility of

homeschooling, which, thankfully, she's been doing great! Her body is

VERY reactive to changes in supplements, so we can't do all the things

the DAN doctor (Dr. Megson) suggests. Dr. Megson did mention

starting chelation a couple of years ago, but we chose not to as she

was going to start our dd on a very high level

*Very wise of you.

that I believe would

have been dangerous for our dd's body (especially as sensitive as it

is), but I was told it would only be for a few days just to see what

the tests would show). This may be something we're going to need to

trty to see if it will heal her body from various reactions.

*This is a challenge test and not necessary, useful, or safe, even with people

not a sensitive.

She's been doing great with Enzymes, 100mg Magnesium, 500 mg Vit C 3 or

4 times a day, gf,cf,sf, Max EPA Omega 3 1000mg, and avoiding chemicals

as much as possible (although she's in a pool during the summertime, so

we do epsom salt baths to help out with exzema and behavioral

reactions). Her body even reacts to various natural types of things

such as b vit's even though the tests show she needs it, among many

other things (at least that was what was showing a couple of years ago,

things might be better now).

*Might be worth trying NAET for her. www.naet.com

An Urgent Care doctor saw our daughter a couple of months ago when she

had this same rash on her tummy and had NO idea what it was...He gave

her an antibiotic to help with the " exzema-like " condition on her arms

and even worse on her side (which he called by some name I've never

heard of). My dd has the same rash again (it's been about 3 or 4 days

now)...About 60 or so tiny red, slightly raised tiny, tiny circular

areas with a tiny point of white in the middle part. The good thing is

that they don't bother her at all, however, they appear to be spreading

to her arms today (just about 10 tiny spots).

Do you feel chelation is my next step?

*Have you done a DDI hair elements test and applied counting rules? What did it

show? I presume she has NO mercury amalgam dental fillings?

If so, I'm tremendously scared

of this as I've seen how her body is when she has yeasty conditions.

*Is she on probiotics?

Changes in behavior, very high anxiety, very dark under eyes, rashes

all over body, higher sensory issues,... It's very scary to me as it

seems like she's dying when she's going through all of this (just as

she seems when she smells plastic smells...the chemicals take her down

quickly, to the point where we have to carry her out of the restaurant,

or wherever, because she becomes limp (possibly from the pain she gets

in her head, Migraine type symptoms)...so scary!!

ANY thoughts you have on this would be most appreciated!!!

Please reply back to my personal e-mail address....It's:

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

A concerned mother,

Gretchen
