Hi -

I recently had to stop with my two boys after 3 yrs on

the protocol, also due to financial reasons. We were

seeing good things and feeling close to the time where

we'd feel like we were beating this thing. We were

also looking forward to Nexavir.

My kids have NOT fallen apart. They are doing

alright, albeit there's been some illness with my

youngest that I had a harder time getting treated

aggressively enough, but I found a new (to them not

me) pediatrician locally enough who already believes a

viral encephalopathy is taking place in autism - and

he hasn't even read much at all on the subject yet ...

it's just the only logical thing to him. I'm quite

excited and hopes he allows me to expose him to

and really get on board in the future. I'm not

pushing now, but I really, really like him. So one

door closed, and another one possibly opened. I never

had that before the door closed.

Don't be terrified. I was, but it's looking a-okay so

far. Call me if you need to at 205-243-0162 central

time zone. I'd be glad to talk.

As far as the office, they will not give you a hard

time. You just need to call and talk to Laurie, give

her a heads up, ask for records to be sent locally,

and ask for specifici instructions on discontinuing

meds - you don't stop them abruptly. Just explain,

and don't feel bad. I have guilty feelings inherently

just because I wasn't able to sustain this, so it was

hard for me to talk to them, but I had been telling Dr

G the time was getting close that I'd have to pull

them off. What I miss the most is talking to someone

who truly understands the way he did, and having that

safety net to fall back on, as well as one of the best

people to bounce concerns off of to truly figure out

the answer. He was a great support and advisor in

addition to doctor, and felt like a great friend. I

will really miss talking to him, and hope chat will be

renewed & perhaps he can join again.

But buddy, if my kids take a slide back that I can't

get them out of myself - having been quite

well-educated by Dr G to handle this on my own if I

have a supportive doctor (I think I do), then I will

go straight back to them begging to get back in. I

asked if that was possible, and it usually is.

Good luck - I'm sorry if you're scared the way I was,

but I've talked to a lot of people who also had to

pull out for one reason or another, and their skys

didn't fall in either that I know of. Again, call if

you're too upset about it, and I'll just help you feel

better.

Hi Lynne,

Have a look at http://rheumatic.org/tests.htm which will give you an

overview of the different tests used. As for interpretation, the test

results usually indicate a " normal " range and therefore you can see how

your sister's results compare.

Shekhena,

Here are the proper mixing instructions for the 50mg ReVia tablets. Make sure

you do it this way for best results. Be positive you have proper measuring

equipment to measure 3.0mg or 4.5mg.

Liquid LDN (Easiest): Acquire some ml measuring equipment from the baby section

of a Drug Store and a small bottle with a screw-on cap. Put 50ml of water

(distilled is best) and one 50mg " ReVia " Naltrexone tablet in the small bottle

and let it dissolve with a little time and shaking. Now each ml of water in that

small bottle contains 1 mg of Naltrexone. At bedtime shake the bottle, take a

desired dose (no more than 4.5ml), chase it down with some water and store the

small bottle in the refrigerator. Some people have reported splitting the tablet

in half and dissolving it in 25ml of water to assure freshness every week.

saw on DIY channel people w/water issues similar to yours, but

nobody was sick- they put one of those encapsulation systems in the

crawl space for $3000, and a new sump pump- their house looked kind

of small- the hired people went all over the inside of the house

with a moisture meter, which, seems like a good way to see if

anything is in the walls

Can I find a moisture meter at Lowes? What do they look like? Rhonda

Been told EI is not a good one to hire. I don't even think I will

spend all those $$$$ on Ind. hygenist. EI did say that even if wall

appears dry now, could have been wet before to grow mold. So I would

let whoever do the hole in wall and test air inside if I hired

someone. Yes, the encapsulation is $3000 something and the Super

Sump pump $1000 and Sani dry dehumidifier is $1750 so it better suck

wet air. I wonder how long it take for wood to dry out after being

damp 12 years.

It's called a hygrometer, I believe. You could call and ask them.

FAIR USE NOTICE:

January 12, 2006

By 'moisture meter' - do you mean the kind of moisture meter that IAQ

investigators use on drywall and wood?

If so, I *think* that they are basically *extremely* sensitive

ohmmeters. (an ohm is a unit of electrical resistance)

This may or may not be helpful.. but when we had our place tested, the

tech had a moisture meter and my impression was that it was a

super-ohmmeter.

Here is an article about the commercial moisture meters:

http://www.pestcontrolmag.com/pestcontrol/article/articleDetail.jsp?id=185643

It verifies that these meters measure electrical resistance..

These are *not* the kind of digital ohmmeters you can buy at Radio

Shack, etc. for under $50, they probably need very sensitive - high

impedance transistors on their input..

However, they should not cost many hundreds of dollars.. In fact, a

suitable grade instrument might be available used on ebay for under

$100. I suspect that a very sensitive high-end ohmmeter would work.

And it would probably be a lot cheaper, even so. (The 'moisture

meters' are very expensive)

Don't forget to *push* the probes very deeply into the material to be

tested. I'd expect the resistance of (wet) drywall to be much higher

than that of (wet) wood - unless the water saturating it has salts

dissolved in it.. (that would lower the resistance a *LOT*)

Is this info helpful? I'm trying to help the DIY home remediator, not

a pro who would probably want an official looking 'moisture meter'

even if it was less flexible.. and many times as expensive..

January 13, 2006

Rhonda,

There are several kinds of moisture meters depending on where the

moisture is and how it is detected.

Moisture content (MC) of materials is measured with a moisture

meter. Most of the non-penetrating ones are calibrated for wood but

can be used comparatively on other materials. Cost ranges from the

$100 to $1200 or so depending on accuracy, speed and if they are

calibrated to a primary standard, multiple calibration scales, etc.

Penetrating ones have two stick pins that measure an electrical

current between them, the wetter the material the less the

resistance. Same price range as above and some are combinations. They

can get really sophisticated with insulated pins for measurements

below the surface, behind baseboards, at the back of wall cavities,

etc. There are inexpensive ones for abut $20 that you may be able to

find at home stores. They don't have a meter but an alarm that sounds

at about 18% MC for wood. Good for finding water below carpets or

really wet wood. Understanding strengths and weakness is important as

is knowing how to interpret the information. They are also subject to

false readings so you have to understand that.

Meters for moisture in the air (relative humidity or RH) are called

hygrometers and can be had for $30 and up from Radio Shack and

others. Don't buy the little $3 ones. They are grossly inaccurate. Of

course the professional ones are much more expensive.

Meters that measure both temperature and RH are called thermo-

hygrometers and cost from about $200 to $2000 and up depending on the

speed and accuracy you want and if they are calibrated to a primary

standard, data logging, etc. These will also show dew point,

important for condensation issues if you also have an infared surface

temperature thermometer. ($30 to $600).

If wood has been wet for 12 years it is probably rotted and then the

structural issues are equal to or greater than the mold issues.

What I have been told is walls can have moisture at times when the

humidity levels are higher and be dryer later but b/c moisture was

there at times, could have developed mold. Think the state air

quality guy told me that and he's not making any money off me.

Makes sense. Seems I read spores can be dormant then come alive

when they get what they need to feed. I want my walls tested

somehow and wonder if I can drill my own holes in them and test

somethow then plug up. I know as tiny as spores are there has to be

cracks for them suckers to get inside these walls. I have tiny

ants that get thru cracks here so bet them spores do too. I surely

don't want to spend $10,000 on crawlspace then find my walls/floors

might be eat up.

I also re-read my contract with Regional and did forget that they

are installing a waterguard drainage trench that will provide proper

drainage in the crawlspace area. So...................with all the

other stuff, they seem ok to me sort of. Got super sump pump, sani

dry dehumidifier, encapsulation, and the contract says Anabec

Advanced surface cleaning solution followed by an EPA registered

microbilal shield. But still don't remove the mold but kills the

biofilm that mold feeds off of.

They also have that they aren't responsible for any health issues

related to mold, mildew or moisture already exist or develop with

anyone living in or visiting this home, I will not hold Reg.

Waterproofing, it's owners, or insurance company liable for any

damages or other claims. This is b/c this is a pre-existing

condition prior to Reg. Watpfng performing any repair work. Says

I can test home also to determine levels of molds. Duh, if I was

rich.

I'm exhausted.

I did find me some Borax today to start disinfecting some things.

Gonna get a Hepa vac also and maybe another hepa air purifier.

Plan to start the cleaning out crawl space this weekend and throwing

out things and washing some.

Insualtion guy came today to give est. when I wasn't here and he

left card with no estimate. He was hesitant on the phone whether

he'd do the job b/c not equipped with respirator and suit. Asked if

I knew what molds I had, nope, but got neuro damage. That's enough

to scare anyone off but I don't want anyone getting sick under

there. I might have to pay Reg. Wat. to remove and then insulation

people coming back when clean. This is so bizarre.

Emailed attorney I talked to today too so maybe he will respond soon

and give me info and what he found out about limitations. On my

street, could be a class action suite if possible after

limitations.

Hi Kim,

I am familiar with that treatment location, my son received physical

therapy there. I do know that they have turned really mild babies

away because they actually participated in a study with a local

neurosurgeon where they followed the progress of banded and unbanded

children with plagio. Good luck and keep up the repo!

Hi Kim,

I've read many, many post where a parent was told to continue to repo,

no band was necessary. In order for a band to work there has to be

holding points. In a mild baby there won't be any holding points so a

band won't help. Check out our Repositioning Heaquarters in the Files
