Where on the right side of his head? Near the temple, jaw, ear, crown? Are the

cavities on that side?

<p>My 4 yr old autistic son started head slapping 3 months ago and

it is <br>

gradually increasing. He does that on a very limited scale in a <br>

social <br>

setting (like a mall) but a lot at home.<br>

<br>

He had started doing it even before we started him on the DAN <br>

Protocol. <br>

He always head slaps using his right hand on the right side of his <br>

head. He has about 3 minor cavities that need filing and his dentist <br>

recommended iV Sedation.<br>

<br>

We are also noticing teeth grinding at night and lately we have <br>

increased his Calcium intake also.<br>

<br>

Pls advise yourt thougths if this is a behavioral issue or ???. We <br>

are <br>

getting an EEG done on him next month but his DAN feels that it would <br>

come out negative.<br>

<br>

Our DAN Doctor recently 2 days ago put him on L-Carnitine for <br>

Carnitine <br>

Deficincy and Lithium Cream for Lithium Deficiency. He also started <br>

Nystatin 4 days ago for yeast Treatment. Pls advise any thoughts if <br>

this is behavioral common issue or linked to a deficincy.<br>

How much do you increase the zinc dose?

Do you continue on with the larger dose or take it back down at some

point?
