Guest guest Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 I would recommend you post what supplements etc.... you are giving your son. Hard to way what would improve without knowing exactly what you are giving him. Could be a major factor! Probiotics? Digestive enzymes? List of supplements? Yeast protocol? Only three rounds and worse, yeast protocol? Tammy [ ] Still keeping up the fight I am hoping I am not alone in feeling extremely discouraged by my childs progress. He is almost three years old and autistic. I have tried a ton of things for my son without any real gains in his condition. I continue to give him all his supplements, taken him on and off to see if I could see any changes. I have added things back one at a time twice now. The only thing I saw was that GABA increased his aggressiveness. I had him on the scd diet for for months and saw no gains. He continues to be Gf/cf/sf and soy free. I have used a homeopath, DAN, flew him from MI to Seattle to meet with Dr. Cutler and a nurse practioner. We went over everything regarding my son and developed a plan of action. I have treated for yeast, parasites, and bacteria. I know there are still a ton of things that I could still try. I am just feeling very scared that my son is never going to get better. It breaks my heart everyday not seeing any improvements. He never stops moving from the second he wakes up. He throws everything, hits, bites, and doesn't listen to a word I say. We are only on round three of DMPS. I was hoping I would see some type of sign that this is going to help him but he is more out of control then ever! I would love some hope at this point that things can still get better. This situation is taking a huge toll on my family's well being. I apologize for carrying on.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 You are not alone. You will find a way. Good thing you are working with AC so early on. We wasted so many years on other things. AC chelation is working. I think it took 6 or 7 rounds before I saw real progress, and we have a LONG way to go. I think you should keep going with AC chelation. Deb > > I am hoping I am not alone in feeling extremely discouraged by my childs progress. He is almost three years old and autistic.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 You did not say whether your child is one who gets sick all the time or never gets sick. Mine was one who got sick all the time. I found a study that showed children with autism improved after being treated IM with Vancomycin. When my son came down with a bad case of pneumonia, he was given Rocephan IM (similar to Vancomycin) for two days IM and then followed up with oral Omnicef. the difference in him by the fourth day was unbelievable. You might consider Vancomycin if you can get a doctor on board with it. These children are all different, and it is a puzzle. As far as AC chelation goes, have you joined the Recovery From autism group? They have a wealth of knowledge regarding AC Protocol. Many parents do not report improvement until round ten. I know how hard it can be --especially with the tough behavior (my son once tried to choke me). Some report a great deal of improvement with body Ecology Diet. I wish there were words to ease your frustration. I would ask to join the RFA gorup and consult with the moderators there. We went through some very tough times here. There were a lot of daily tears. We just kept trying things until we found what worked. Our son is much improved and has good behavior now. I used to not be able to go anywhere. I hope you can hang in there. I prayed A LOT, too.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 You are definitely not alone, it is a long and hard battle and it is the most heartbreaking thing I personally have ever had to endure. My son is 4.5 and we also tried everything and have been doing biomed for 2 years with some improvements (Mb12 injections helped language and antivirals helped immune system for us). We just started AC chelation and are on R6 and are seeing so far the best improvements out of everything we've tried. Rounds 1-4 were pretty rocky for us - he started peeing and pooping on the floor and his bed after having been potty trained for a year and a half. It was so frustrating and we almost stopped. This weekend we are doing R6 and the potty issues have stopped and he is doing so much better and has better spontaneous language, less repeating sentences over and over (dramatically less - this used to drive us INSANE), he's seeking us out to play with him more and his attention and auditory processing are remarkably better. We tried both DMPS and DMSA and for us he seemed to have done better on the DMSA. Hang in there! We wasted 2 years trying everything under the sun b/c we were afraid to chelate. Now I regret not starting sooner. Your son is still young and you still have time to help heal him and try new things. > > I am hoping I am not alone in feeling extremely discouraged by my childs progress.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Just wanted to give you a little encouragement. Although our dd was one of the lucky ones - we never had full blown autism but rather developmental delay and more recently an adrenal disorder. We are still chelating. We started transdermal when she was around 5. We moved on to oral a couple of years later. She's ten now with some learning issues; hormones are balanced. It's been a long road but diet and chelation continue to be key. Key supplements for the gut - Natren probiotics, starting with Life Start. She's now on Bifido Factor. ProEN2 by Interplexus for yeast, etc. Extra Magnesium citrate by Pure Encapsulations (you want to stay away from extra fillers) when she gets constipated. She's also gluten free. Our dd is now a happy, well adjusted 10 year old with many plans for the future. When she was first diagnosed at age 4 I would never have dreamed she'd be where she is now. Health and healing are possible. Take care, Olivia > > I am hoping I am not alone in feeling extremely discouraged by my childs progress. He is almost three years old and autistic.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 My first instinct is that you are giving too much. Of course some people will not agree. Here is the deal, his kidneys and liver are probably already stressed, so sometimes the healing process can take place with LESS supplements rather than more (my opinion). Try to go food based: 1. aloe juice (or just inside of aloe leaf) in smoothie with pear juice, banana, and ice. Aloe has good antiparasite properties and was an excellent gut healer for my son. 2. magnesium, magnesium, magnesium (epsom salt baths, mag chloride, mag citrate, with taurine for better absorption) Don't give up the magnesium, ever. 3. Keep the Vit C and Zinc 4. Raw honey for antibacterial properties (incentive after taking supplements?) 5. Kombucha tea, sauerkraut, coconut kefir, other cultured vegetables for probiotics. 6. NO MSG or any forms of it. This is really important, avoid natural flavors, yeast extract, " spices " , etc. and make sure everything he eats is something grown from the ground. No hydrogenated oils, no canola .... just olive, safflower, sunflower, grapeseed, or coconut oil. 7. The krill oil is probably fine, but you might want to add flaxseed oil as well for extra Omega 3. There is a chance that he may be reacting to one of the multivitamin supplements or the parasite supplement. Pay attention to the yellow colored ones (COQ10, Vit B complex or multi), some of our children can't tolerate those. I would not give the GSE either, but opt for something more mild because of his temperament - candex, candidaise? Do you have activated charcoal on hand? I would have that in case he has a reaction to food or supplements. As you get further along in recovery, the bad reactions are more apparent - the constantly mad, screaming child turns to the occasionally mad, screaming child and then you have a tool. Did NP have you do an ALCAT food sensitivity test? We really liked that test. Your child may be sensitive to coconut because it was used in one of the more recent vaccinations, this is something that has been uncovered among some moms whose children are a bit younger than mine.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 I could agree to that. (Don't go extreme?!.) Also, to the same effect perhaps, reintroduce things not so much in the same format, but more to what you have established *works,* (go with what works?!.) slowly, and pay attention to what happens in that respect of what you should keep and eliminate, which necessitates doing things one at a time given a long enough time allowance to allow for as much. You could also work backwards from where you are until you get back to where things were working better if that was ever the case? Introduce/reintroduce things as intelligently as you can is all I'm saying.

Sometimes we need to be reminded of as much I Figure (Cut your less reasonable workload and/or prioritize for as much as you need? of prioritizing to understanding [your Feeling/s, of as much] and the justness of as much, Hello. I would keep in mind that supplements are mostly just that and/or should be treated so, (until proven otherwise as in your situation?) supplementary to a more natural and healthy diet of real foods, etc. Supplements are not typically recommend to replace real food, but to compensate for abnormal developments you wish to deal with of bringing things back to normal by as much, of your experience of your experimentation (research, if not the primary research) to that effect, where you are so calculating if not analytical, and if not, why not? .. . I'd be leary about sticking with things that build a dependency on things not especially normal or natural, especially where it is a dependency that has not been well researched and established in the literature, or anywhere else, (for anyone in particular, as with your research?) how risky that can be relative to how slowly evolution and understandingmore (adaptation?) takes, (and the communication for as much you might be trying to facilitate for as much? of such control) of how complicated things can be over the long run..

Things are more likely to go wrong where you take things too far and fast from the typical, (of Understanding?) or where you're at, I figure, in that respect Guinea pigs tend to have a poor prognosis otherwise, I find.

Oxides were really hard for my kids to use. Is there a special reason for it? I use either asparatate or malate.

It is easy to prescribe and hard to live with...not meaning that they don't care or are insensitive....just they don't live with em. I would stop it all....and start over 1 thing at a time. Use it for a week or so and see how they do and go from there. Alot of times we had to reduce the doses by half or more and work up to the dose we needed to get to. We always start low here and work up..and go as slow as we need to. I would make sure that the allergies were tested and that the supps didn't contain any allergens and work your way up. Keep this list as something to work toward....but this is just too much for a little one...that's just my opinion. Also dmsa is really good and doesn't require a prescription and does a great job...but it is every 4 hours. We do it every weekend. But if every other is working right now...go for it. Also GABA is very helpful for mood stabilizing. My kids needed that alot...and SAMe...but that one prolly needs to come later. Jesus help ya find the solutions ya need.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Was there anything on my sons list that screamed big no no? Not especially, but I can tell you for sure that when my son gets like this (never stops moving, hits, kicks, bites, doesn't listen) I know it is time to re-evaluate all exposures. Most the time, that meant taking his supplements down to amla (vit c) and magnesium (my choices, things he obviously didn't react to) and keep his diet very bland - homemade. Many times I gave him buckwheat groats (heated like hot cereal), coconut oil, and maple syrup for breakfast - sometimes with bananas cut on top; organic/natural chicken or turkey plus vegetable or made into soup for lunch, and something similar for dinner. (Last time he acted like that, it was a hidden source of MSG and possibly yellow dye at a Mexican restaurant where I had asked what was in things but didn't ask for exact ingredients on labels - it actually caused violent aggression and seizure.) > > > > > > > I would recommend you post what supplements etc.... you are giving your son.

I continue to give him all his supplements, taken him on and off to see if I could see any changes. I have added things back one at a time twice now. The only thing I saw was that GABA increased his aggressiveness. I had him on the scd diet for for months and saw no gains. He continues to be Gf/cf/sf and soy free. I have used a homeopath, DAN, flew him from MI to Seattle to meet with Dr. Cutler and a nurse practioner. We went over everything regarding my son and developed a plan of action. I have treated for yeast, parasites, and bacteria. I know there are still a ton of things that I could still try. I am just feeling very scared that my son is never going to get better. It breaks my heart everyday not seeing any improvements. He never stops moving from the second he wakes up. He throws everything, hits, bites, and doesn't listen to a word I say. We are only on round three of DMPS. I was hoping I would see some type of sign that this is going to help him but he is more out of control then ever! I would love some hope at this point that things can still get better. This situation is taking a huge toll on my family's well being.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 This is very important. I would discuss every supplement with the child, what it is for. Watch resistance to eating food, watch cravings, watch everything - and learn his ways. Teach him to sign " break " if he is in school or has ABA tutoring or if do lessons with him at home. This has been so valuable with the girl I work with. It is so important to communicate that you respect the way they are feeling. I enjoy homeschooling my boy because if he is having an off day, he can just sit in the bath and I read to him. He can stand on his head on the couch if he wants, he does what he has to for his body to feel comfortable and I adjust my teaching. You must also move on with curriculum difficulty as you would with any other child. My son is 8, he tells us a small fraction of what he knows, but he knows a whole lot more. If he was in regular school, he'd still be identifying numbers 1-10 probably. I have him adding and subtracting manipulatives. The lack of expressive language is an excuse to hold children back way too often. Better get to bed, more later... > > > > I am hoping I am not alone in feeling extremely discouraged by my childs progress. He is almost three years old and autistic.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Of yourself, show enthusiasm for what's good to eat in the spirit of communication and teaching by as much. Start mixing/blending (accordingly, to what works?) the foods your son needs into the foods he likes in the spirit of synthesizing things in that respect? of a *coming together* if you will, (where you would be about as much yourself, that that isn't also if not especially how communication itself works) of being so moderated to understandingmore of Communication.. . If that takes you to specific foods that work better for as much you will have succeeded in the more just way of succeeding is my sense of It Breaks too, must be *earned*.. . at least by the telling of The truth?!. (Once you understand It if not more of It yourself?!. of making that your thing.. .) Don't allow otherwise. (Hey, or welcome to the problem?!.) You should find that works, with a bit of probing (Listening? of better listening, of the analysis, of Understanding?!.) of what the truth actually is in that respect.. . of Communication, that that wouldn't be fundamental to all that is so meaningful and just, but I Feel It Is! and wish as much for you, and yours.. . Communication isn't just a lot of *talk,* (blah, blah, blah-like) however that is typically carried on?!. It's a *connecting* with and for what matters, (and exchange, of Sorts?!.) of what really matters. Most certainly It is a conveying of your Feeling/s for his, your son's, how much those matter.. . (Use as much for all you hope to achieve where so true yourself?) of and for as much (if not such understanding? that that doesn't connect with a/the greater understanding, (of More?) but I Feel It Does! You're probably going to have to come more *half-way* with things, than you are (in moving along for what is best? for what would help *you* understand more by as much, that that wouldn't be essential to all that you could accomplish so meaningfully) in that respect, to gain your child's best interests.. . (Also be more like him towards him becoming more like you in that respect?!. that that doesn't show understanding and what you do understand, that he should respect you otherwise) of your being so reasonable yourself, I figure by as much! Be on guard for such connection with your son, two-years-old or whatever (That a good intuition by those who should have as much doesn't count for as much?) where trying as much for your son should prove to make a/the difference, of and by as much -- as I encompass with respect to *Communication* and my communicating, (more than mere language as we know it?) that everything would be so just. Glavic My response particular to Liz and our shared understanding.. . That, is the pillar upon which I base all that I do and feel I can do for the other and all. It kind of boils down to this with me, you teach communication by communicating, (however you can, of feeling as much? of what is so primary, to Communication if not such communication, of what our feeling/s are about) by whatever is interesting and helpful with respect to the other being able to become more independent and self-sufficient, and social, themselves, of as much, (and dare I say *just,* to as much, more just, by as much, that any other social should matter) where relevent towards their understanding more for themselves and all there could be by as much, that is and would be so reasonable.. . I find many ABAers like teachers themselves are more about putting on a show in that respect (if not so specifically..) and not about the real thing, of the other understanding, (more, for themselves) vs. what might be merely a memory or seeming memory (or illusion) or the obedient thing, to whatever, otherwise? .. . if not the divide-and-conquer thing, perhaps I figure you can only truly teach, teach so justly by teaching to justice (itself) in that respect.. . of achieving it so directly? (that anything else could be so meaningful and just, and not abusive otherwise, otherwise of what would make us so unfair and unworthy as of games and/or who gets picked off otherwise, and/or of entertainment and fantasy and the delusional otherwise, after the games of our getting picked off so unjustly of our being part of as much, how fun [child gratifying, immature gratifying even?] that might have started out as) of having so much figured out myself.. . realizing that the best way to change and teach and develop the other is by changing and learning from and developing myself, of ourselves, of as much, as I teach, so reasonably Case in point?!. My whatever typical 18-year-old daughter is obsessing on listening to pop (or something like that?) music, still (as much as she can, as dark as it seems to me now, but who am I to deny her as much [of our culture? .. ..] where she would pay for as much if not support her behavior somehow? if not allow herself to be so divided and conquered by those who would do so? .. .) so, *I'm* now listening to *classical* music (not necessariy my favourite all the time..) and overtly/more directly talking about as much, too, to get such message(s) across to her, my daughter, that our pleasure is *relative,* and should be relative to our *work,* (for Understandingmore) Yes. I will suffer myself of as much (what suffering?!.) to teach my child so much. I am not denying her her art, no, I am shaping it by my shaping myself and my own of as much, so true and just, Thereof -- I Am, I Feel I Am, of practicing what I teach! (I wish as much for Us.. . I could be doing other things Hey, where we obsess, so very often/likely do our students and children, I Feel as understand I feel I am really on the same page with you on this, (Liz) even where you are not so precisely like me in this (if not every) respect.. . and figure anything else would be of the forces of darkness (confusion! of fear) wherever that is taking us, (as where it has?) and I am not so much about that, (what others are about, in what they are about of as much as they are about) and I sure would like to hear more from you (or anyone else in such respects, as ours) in what I figure amounts to the measure of our *progress* where we would be progessing so well at all, as of and by as much no less. Just off the top of my head? (So much for sacred cows otherwise? What, that I have something to hide?!. I figure this deals with as much, of the confusion and disorder, otherwise, if not all there is, Thereof.. I figure *Communicating* (all that we can?!.) trumps being like the other (and the problem, of the otherwise?) and all we were if not are otherwise in bringing the other and the solution along, if not so far along.. . Who knows, we may even be recognized for as much by as much one day (in our recognizing and identifying, if not prosecuting/treating those not so true? of our becoming as much as we can become in that respect) but, here's for now (that we should get anywhere else) and my hoping to hear more from you in that respect, of making *Justness,* of the justness of communication of Understandingmore, The thing! Of my putting my faith, so true, in as much, and not so much anything otherwise.. . I figure I learn maybe more than we do by much as much.. . in my, practicing how I figure we learn, where we would learn and be so just at All. (That that isn't communicating and about communicating, as starting from within, of what there Is, Thereof Thanks for helping me learn as I do if not also of you ]and our teaching[ by as much.. . Glavic oooooouu, Yeah. I figure our children care about as much and need that connection, of, what is so meaningful, (primary?) well, you understand what you understand by as much, Hello, that anything else should matter.. . Of course you can follow that/from as much.. . Anything you *Feel* (for understanding more?) would be good enough in that respect, of Understandingmore, as I call It! but call It what you want, but just call it?!. Communicate with your children for all that you can do for them, for all that you can understand, for all that we can be I really want my children to figure things out for themselves, like, what's going on inside them?!. (That anything else should matter?!.) I figure that's a pretty good place to start (With my help, of Communication?) if not end.. . End? .. . I figure you know It when you Feel It, that that isn't about Understandingmore, but I Feel It Is More, please?!. I figure God's *always* listening (and answering!)

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 I meant " exchange " .. Communication is " an " exchange (with respect to value, of values, of true consideration) of " Sorts, " no less, with respect to Understanding More and what would be so meaningful and just.. . Be giving of value to be getting of as much? .. . I don't believe we can fool our children in that respect of what is best for them. Glavic You'd be right, (I Feel) if you felt I wouldn't be carrying on this way if I wasn't so healthy and wealthy and wise.. . Few are? (or as much like I Am?!. that that wouldn't be special if not so special? but I Feel It Is, where you fit in in that respect?!.) I Feel as understand.. . Isn't It *nice* to have such choice(s)?!.

No, I'm not thinking of some old man or anything like that, sheesh? God is what *you* Figure out for your self, that God wouldn't be so clear and understandable, and worthy?

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 I feel for you, but I have no advice on the food issue. I really hope you get some replies from people with experience with it. My son is on a restricted diet, but he still eats everything offered. Okay, nevermind, I have one suggestion Zinc. Sometimes children need zinc to be able to smell and taste food, it helps that sense - and makes food more appealing. Good luck, and I hope you get some other better replies.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 It's best to be thankful for what we do get? unless we're sure we deserve more for our giving more for as much?!. That'd be a tough one as far as communication goes, of such giving, the value of as much relative to the individual and what they need and get from as much, would be my feeling/s on that.. . I figure we've got some pretty good answers here in that respect, thank-you Glavic I'd be happier for a better president and savior, though I guess one should not expect more from a savior until such time as one gets one, that we deserve one? So far I'm happy with the one I have in that respect.. . > > > > > > > > > > I am hoping I am not alone in feeling extremely discouraged by my childs progress.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Hi Kathy. I too want to empathize and cheer you on. It can be sooo demoralizing when there's no apparent progress and when there are food sensitivities. We had them in spades. From v young (my DS is 22 mos). I went GFCF (while exclusively breastfeeding) and at least he started gaining weight (the pressure to do formula was enormous from docs--we supplemented with donated milk for a while). But still, even while exclusively BF, DS had rashes, etc etc. WHenever I tried a new food after about 6-9 mos (at pressure of sundry people and conventional wisdom) it was always awful and I'd back off. I read adn then rejected everything there was out there about first foods, from paavo airola to the SCD to mainstream baby books. None of it worked. Then my DS at around 9 mos grabbed for my green smoothie glass. Wouldn't let it go. He's basically lived on breastmilk and green smoothie and raw veggie juices since then. It was something I never would have thought to start him on/offer him, but he wouldn't let the glass to my mouth without him having some. So eventually I made his own smoothies, and now we make enough for the day and jar it up in the fridge. What I've noticed is that my son will absolutely refuse any food that will cause him a problem--they have a very strong instinct about these things, I've read. Will post more later about food sensitivities and our extensive experience with them. But baby got us up extra early today and I've gotta go feed him. What I will say that worked for us is the Total Elimination Diet to establish by experience what foods he reacts to. There were so many of them, it was impossible to tell any other way, what to eat or not eat (I mean me eating them, cos baby was still bfeeding and doing only 4 ingredients in smoothie while i did the TED--he was reacting to what I ate, even when GFCF). I followed a book called Diet Wise by an allergy doctor. Every nutritionist/naturopath I've ever talked to since has said " Yeah, that's the hardest way, but it's really the only one that works to get all food sensitivities " . Alright, gotta go.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 And then again, it could be a diet or environment that supplements can't compensate (enough?) for? .. .

I have added things back one at a time twice now. The only thing I saw was that GABA increased his aggressiveness. I had him on the scd diet for for months and saw no gains. He continues to be Gf/cf/sf and soy free. I have used a homeopath, DAN, flew him from MI to Seattle to meet with Dr. Cutler and a nurse practioner. We went over everything regarding my son and developed a plan of action. I have treated for yeast, parasites, and bacteria. I know there are still a ton of things that I could still try. I am just feeling very scared that my son is never going to get better. It breaks my heart everyday not seeing any improvements. He never stops moving from the second he wakes up. He throws everything, hits, bites, and doesn't listen to a word I say. We are only on round three of DMPS. I was hoping I would see some type of sign that this is going to help him but he is more out of control then ever! I would love some hope at this point that things can still get better. This situation is taking a huge toll on my family's well being.
