Kathy, The SCD diet you refer to, is that sugar casein free diet?

Thanks, Tracey

I got the same reaction from our neuro when I mentioned a connection between

the amalgams and the seizures. They either do not want to hear it or they are

ignorant to it. I think in time they will find that there is a link, it is

just too bad that we cannot get the help we need for our kids.

No test have been done as the Neurologist thinks I am daft. He says there is no

mercury connection. That the seizures are heriditary ( this despite no family

health history). This Neurologist is supposed to be the best in the state. He

has not done any tests other than an EEG.

Any ideas and advice are appreciated. I really think I need an orthomolecular MD

that will treat a child - in the PA, DE, MD area. Pfieffer clinic has adviced me

they don't treat seizure disorders.

Thanks,

Mike,

What tests have you had done concerning your son?

> Thanks for the thoughtful replies. There does not seem to be a

vaccination connection as he is 7 and has not received any vaccines

in the last year. I really thought it was related to the amalgams as

he had seizures in the past but had been seizure free without meds

for over a year. The tooth was filled but still irritated him, then

suddenly the filling fell out. He may have swallowed it, I'm not

sure. The doctor found infection there and treated that and refilled

it yet he still sometimes complains it hurts. After he went on the

merc. sol. and it was working another chunk of the filling on the

tooth directly above that tooth fell out and he seems to have

swallowed some of that filling too. Then the seizures came back and

are not really being helped by the merc. sol. now. Except that he is

now rousable to some extent during the seizures. He is taking many

supplements and vitamins. B6, B5, B complex, Probiotic, Pycnogenol,

Coral Calcium, Mineral Rich, Vitamin E, 5 HTP, Taurine, and a

multivitamin and a food supplement.His diet is not quite good but we

are working on getting him to eat better. We moved a year ago and our

new home has well water so there may be levels of something in there

too that he is sensitive too.

they do too treat seizures, and bill walsh and I discuss personally how to

stop them. The first order of business is to promote metallothionein, and

add zinc and build glutathione! Heal the gut, go on a SCD diet or gluten or

cassein free msg free diet. Tell me what happens if you do just that!

How old is your child? I suggest you seek " second opinions " online.

Many doctors will give advice via e-mail. Some will even review medical

records and provide you with their assessment of the situation for

FREE. On such clinic is s-Reiter . But, there are many others.

Just check out the resources on our group's website. More medical

insight BEFORE spending more money is a good thing, right? Then, why

not pursue it? There is also a book with should be available at your

local public library called, Epilepsy: A New Approach. Check it out.

Good luck.

Thanks Kathy,

I had called the main number for Pfieffer as I wanted to do a visit when they

travel to my area and the nurse that answered said " No " when I asked if they

treated seizure disorders. It's great to hear that they may now.

First, where can I find out what the SCD diet is ? Second, what is

metallothionein ? I'm sure there is a zinc deficency as his nails became covered

with white spots when the seizures started . He takes a supplement plus Mineral

Rich by Maximum Living. He was already taking the Mineral Rich daily for over a

year when the deficency began - this is one reason I suspected mercury was

draining the zinc. Of course the Neuro and the homeopath say it is just trauma

to his fingernails - then why did it also effect his toe nails ? What

suggestions would you make for heling the gut ? He had been taking

Primadophillous Jr. for over a year - 3xs a day. Now he is taking 1 full caplet

of Primal defense instead ( 1/2 AM and 1/2 PM) - Do you think we can increase

this to more ? He is only 7 years old and 60 lbs. What would help to build

glutathione ? I am very willing to try the diet suggestion. Thanks for your

help.
