Guest guest Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Hi, So the nurse called today about my sons EEG results (awake and asleep). She says that the results show no signs of seizure but said that the brain waves were slightly different than what would be for typical kids and hence maybe why he exhibits behaviours of kids on the spectrum. I asked her if the brain waves were similar to other kids on teh spectrum and she said no. She mentioned it shows some cerebral dysfunction and that means that the firing of neurons in teh brain were different than that of typical kids. She said there is nothing to be done at this point. I dont understand. Did any of you get this ? Is this common in all kids on the spectrum ? IS ths something that can be corrected? Please advice.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 I don't think a typical ASD brain exists. Not all kids get EEGs; mine didn't. Or MRI.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 I would do a modified Atkins diet, low starches (carbs), no mucus forming foods, low sweets, high protein, lots of vegetables, fruits he tolerates, good fats like avocados, coconut oil, grapeseed oil, olive oil, flaxseed oil, cod liver oil and Vit E. Work on blood flow = chelation, B6, magnesium, vinpocetine, niacinamide. That's what I'd do (and basically what I AM doing without having had that test, I already know my son's cerebellum is screwed up and the above things are helping tremendously). > > Hi, > > So the nurse called today about my sons EEG results (awake and asleep).

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 Thanks for the replies. Lynn, thanks for caring. It feels so nice to see others who understand your pain.The doctor is on vacation for 2 weeks. I am hoping she will call when she gets back. Either way, I will be calling to find out more. I will read up more on the Atkins diet. Thanks for the suggestion. Thanks again, Arthi On Fri, Jun 18, 2010 at 3:49 AM, Liz <elizabethsoliday@...> wrote: > > > I would do a modified Atkins diet, low starches (carbs), no mucus forming > foods, low sweets, high protein, lots of vegetables, fruits he tolerates, > good fats like avocados, coconut oil, grapeseed oil, olive oil, flaxseed > oil, cod liver oil and Vit E.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Good afternoon, Sasmita, First of I need to say my son is not recovered. Expressive language is still a main issue. But he is repeating alot words now. So my son was developing normally until his MMR vaccination. Lost all speech. Followed by ear infections which the pediatrician prescribed antibiotics. Then my son had yeast issues. And through all of this he has heavy metal issues per his French Tests. So initially we concentrated on the yeast and bacteria and diet. We started Jan 2009. Then I started to think. Why am I not treating the viruses? So from various (autism treatment and mb12 valtrex), I started addressing viruses. 1. Valtrex in Oct 2009 to address Herpes Zoster virus. We are still on Valtrex 2. Amantadine in Nov 2009 to address MMR. (Only did two weeks because we got a reaction which I thought was a medication reaction, but it was a healing reaction). 3. In Dec 2009, we did the Vitamin A protocol. We are still on the maintenance dose but may drastically reduce once our Vitamin A titer results are back. 4. Introduced homeopathy. I used two homeopaths: Payne from Virginia (we use the Zyto clinic so I do not physically need to fly to Virginia for the screenings) and in McKinney, TX who does the Electro-Dermal Screening (we physically visit her for the screenings). My son is still on homeopathy until our next visit. I want to reconfirm that no viruses have resurfaced. Both and use Deseret Biological homeopathy remedies. 5. Added Lysine. We have been battling Herpes Zoster the longest. By continuing the items above (except Amantadine we stopped), adding Lysine seemed to really put us over the top regarding Herpes Zoster. 6. We visited the Neurosensory Center of America to get a perspective on Viral load. We did see a great reduction in viral load from their testing (but this was with Strep B and Herpes Zoster still being issues). We have a follow-on appointment in Aug so I am expecting really good results. I have to say that for my son it was not just one thing. Also, I was of the mindset that we were going to treat these viruses from different avenues. Now, we are going to visit Dr. in Texas who trained under Dr. Goldberg in California to give a perspective. Here is a good website that started thinking about getting the perspective. www.stopcallingitautism.com I have to say that my son is progressing really great. If we can get his spontaneous speech going, we will be so happy!!!! That is why we are starting AC chelation to get the heavy metals deep in the tissue. Hope this helps.
