Re: Trying to make sense of this behavior issue

June 20, 2010

I would expect lithium orotate to help with mood swings. It was a big help for

both my kids after we had started chelating awhile and they were both having

issues being defiant, fighting, and having adrenaline surges in general. I

honestly think that what it does is help glucose metabolism in the brain and

that helps our kids' blood sugar to be more stable.

lot and I got a lot of feed back on things like lithium, ACE, yeast protocol,

etc. These are all these we are or have tried, in addition to the homeopathic

remedy that was recently recommended.

> Anyway, without going into all of our history all over again, I am just

confused about his behaviors lately. As I mentioned, he has always been prone

to mood swings, control issues, some non-compliance occasionally....well, for

the past three days, I have had him out non-stop (which is NOT like us at all),

going constantly except when we are home for the baby's naptime, coming home

late, doing things that push his sensory to new limits, etc. We have had NO

complaints AT ALL!! He's been a dream while we are out, he is polite, listens

well, when we ask him to transition to something else or to stop doing

something, his response is calmly, " Ok " , he has jumped into a lake, endured loud

bands (Still covered ears, but didn't complain at all), ran under sprinklers,

fallen under water, gotten blisters from extensive walking, gone down water

slides, shared and took turns with TONS of kids, the list is endless!! He has

done it all with grace, big smiles, cooperation, I am really amazed and starting

to wonder, if these mood swings are reserved just for Daddy and I at home?!?!

Usually he is worse when he is overtired. He has handled the late bedtimes

great, gone to bed with no problems, I am just wowed!!

> Am I trying to fix something that might be a difficult personality rather than

an imbalance or did we do something that is finally working? Granted, he is

definitely mercury toxic from the looks of his hair test, he most definitely had

yeast and clostridia along with mild levels of e.coli and strep, the tests

confirm that we aren't crazy, lol, but maybe there is more to the big picture

than I am catching on to? Perhaps he can control it better than either of us

realized...there definitely was a time when he couldn't control these behaviors,

is it possible that there is a bit of a habit or learned behavior that takes

time to resolve after they start feeling better? In other words, since he used

to behave that way in frustrating situations, could he be just handling the

situations in the only way he knows how? This morning we had some down time at

home before heading out to go boating this afternoon and he had some irritation

that I thought was more of the same old stuff, but then we went out and there

was not one issue with him from the minute we left the house! I don't want to up

yeast protocols and increase lithium doses, etc, if this is all just a

manipulative (non-intentional, of course) method of coping for him.

although the behaviors are not gone when we are home!!

Hmmm, that is an interesting theory, because I noticed that in the morning, just

before he eats, he's at his worst, then the rest of the day (I split 1 lithium

capsule between three doses throughout the day) he is great! I think we found

our magic! But what about the bloating? His bloating is down significantly too

and the only two things I have added recently are the homeopathic constitutional

remedy and lithium about a week or two prior to the homeopathy. The bloating

didn't go away until we gave the homeopathic remedy....Could it take a week or

two for the lithium to work like that, or does it even have anything to do with

bloating? I am trying to determine if the homeopathy has a hand in all this.
