Guest guest Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Oh yes.? When my husband and I separated, he started giving our daughter corn chips (and who knows what else) and her absence seizures returned.? (They were later healed through prayer.) ? Would it work to get him a copy of McCandless's bood: Children With Starving Brains.? She's an MD and if You get the book from her, (rather than cheaper at amazon) You can be on her email list or forum, not sure which it is.? That way he might get engaged in it since she's a doctor.? The idea is that if he reads it from a dr., then he's 'rediscovered the wheel' -- so to speak -- for himself. ? Hope this situation gets better belle. ? Sincerely, Francine ? 3b. ?Re: has anyone ever dealt with this Posted by: " rick_tallman1 " rick_tallman1@... ? rick_tallman1 Sun Mar?14,?2010 8:14?pm (PDT) Have you pointed out to your husband the changes in behavior when her diet changes? Perhaps you could try to explain that various food allergies cause different reactions. I.E. peanut allergies can cause anything from a mild rash to Anaphylactic shock. And he should be able to find out about lactose intolerance from the conventional med personnel he meets with on his job. BTW, does he not notice the differences in her behavior when he changes her diet? & gt; & gt; Hi & gt; & gt; I have a 3 year old autistic daughter. I have had her on a special diet (gluten, soy, dairy, corn, sugar and yeast-free) for about a year now and she is making a lot of progress. I have also started her on chelation (according to AC protocol) and several vitamin/mineral supplements and vinpocetine. & gt; & gt; My question is this: for the last couple weeks I have been noticing behaviors including toe walking, more difficulty with speech, verbal stims, refusal to sit on the potty, and more screaming instead of articulating when she wants something. Lo and behold I just discovered that is about the same amount of time my husband has been giving her foods not on the diet without my knowledge. He refuses to stop feeding her these foods although I have asked. I think he doesn't believe diet or supplements have anything to do with her progress. He works as a field service tech for a hospital, so most of his info comes from the opinions of conventional med personnel. I think he also views this as kind of a power struggle. I'm the one who spends almost all the time with her, so I'm the one who notices the small changes. Has anyone dealt with a non-cooperating spouse when it comes to biomed/diet? I know we should be working together and believe me I would like to, but some people can be very difficult to persuade. I'm getting to the point where I don't really want to leave her alone with him.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 No, silly! Doctors usually only accept double-blind, placebo, federally funded study results. I've tried for 7 yrs to get my MD husband to pay attention to MDs, Chemists, PhDs, etc that advocate the toxicity-Autism link. I would look for medical text books/research that address how toxins affect the body rather than the DAN!esque books. They will have a bigger impact; at least they do on MDs like the one I love.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 annabelle, I now consider it a blessing that my MD, non-believer husband isn't involved. I'm sure it would put a damper on some of what I do, because he would be too critical and perhaps not allow/interfere with biomed. Our child also didn't have that obvious, immediate reaction to food infractions. That made it difficult to keep my husband compliant with the restrictions.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 How about one of the Great Plains Labs panels for sensitivities? On the sly in case they don't show anything negative, and if they do, then you can have " proof " ? The other alternative is to put the whole house on the diet, slowly, because there isn't a lot of good that corn, gluten and the rest does for NT people, so it won't hurt.
