Guest guest Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 I would be interested to hear that too. My son is 10. He has ADHD and dyspraxia. I was not moving forward with AC chelation but this school year had been so bad that we will be starting during winter break. Another separate question I have how to deal with lack of attention. What supplements can I try? We always had the issue with attention but now it is becoming of a real issue and not letting him be what he can be. I am even ready to consider ADHD medication whilst preparing for chelation. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 We are on #70 this weekend and still addressing apraxia BUT it is definitely better, no doubt. Word formulation is much, much better. At times, my daughter will say a sporadic sentence; usually the beginning is clear and towards the end, there is either consonant misplacement or just babble. This is definitely degrees better than where we started.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 My son's apraxia was resolved with multiple supplements - before we even started AC chelation: MB12, DMG, Fish oil, Acetyl-l-carnitine, creatine among a couple of other things. > > has anyones child overcome apraxia with AC chelation?

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Nikki, Here is part of a message I posted over 1 year ago. See my NEW comments below my original post. My son has both oral and verbal apraxia but doesn't have ASD. He also at age 2 had mild hypotonia and some sensory issues. We started speech therapy at 22 months, and I started fish oil (specifically Nordic Naturals ProEFA/Omega Complete 3-6-9) at the same time. My son made huge strides just on fish oil alone. Eventually we added Vitamin E, zinc, and yeast control...we had a monster yeast problem that we now control with probiotics, digestive enzymes, and Candidase. Today my son is almost 5 and graduated from speech therapy last year. He goes to a typical preschool and is 99% recovered as long as we stay on all his supplements. We also do CoQ10, carnitine, a multi vitamin, multi- mineral, magnesium. xtra Vit C etc. At age 2.5, I did a hair test which met 2 counting rules for mercury toxicity and showed a severe copper/zinc imbalance. At age 3, we did a porphyrins test that showed positive for mercury toxicity. We just started chelating 3 months ago with DMSA alone and are going to add ALA next round. Although my son was doing great without chelating, I hope to prevent long term problems by getting all the toxic metals out now. I also think that giving lots of supplements 5X/day isn't a long term solution. My hope is that, over time, we'll be able to drop all the supplements, get rid of the yeast problem etc. while maintaining his recovery. **Today my son is 6.5 and we've done 25 rounds of chelation. He is in a regular 1st grade class and doing extremely well. Since his apraxia was 99% " cured " by supplements, I didn't expect to see any difference, and we still give his " speech " supplements like Fish Oil and Vit E daily. HOWEVER, many of his other issues have improved significantly. Yeast has gone from being a daily issue to an occasional issue. We've been able to discontinue using enzymes, and he still has normal poop. We've gone from giving supplements 3-4X/day to 1X/day with no problems. We've eliminated his carnitine and reduced his zinc from 60mg/day to @ 25mg/day. He is more flexible, less rigid, and adapts to new situations more easily. His sensory issues are GREATLY reduced and our most recent development is that my son has started eating raw greens (lettuce etc.) which he previously hated because of the texture. We've recently slowed down on chelation because I started working full-time, but hope to " get back on the horse " this fall during the holidays.** Good Luck! > > has anyones child overcome apraxia with AC chelation?

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 AC chelation is the only thing that I can say is helping with my sons aparaxia. We have done fish oil, b12 etc. The fish oil seemed to help with coordination (he was severly sensory and globally apraxic)b12 only gave us super hyperactivity. We do see improvement with Prompt and Beckman's Protocol. But with AC chelation I am seeing changes in speech after almost every round. We have seen tongue clicking for the first time in three years after a round, the sudden ability to pronounce a sound he has not been able to make, a clearer pronunciation of a sound, putting more words/approximations together. I am excited to do each round because of what we may see after it. And that is just the speech! But with this is coming added confidence which is helping him in other areas as well. We still have a long way to go with this but we are seeing consistant gains. Every new sound is HUGE! Nothing else has helped my son like AC chelation because nothing else is correcting the problem that caused his autism/apraxia. ~ > > > > > > has anyones child overcome apraxia with AC chelation?
