Guest guest Posted October 3, 1999 Report Share Posted October 3, 1999 Thank you Dusan for the welcome and for these lists. I would like to introduce myself to the list members, I am 57 y.o. female living in Georgia, USA. Type 2 Diabetic. Self diagnosed CFS. who found your bowel cleanse list when I found I had blastocystis hominus (Parasite) Symptoms, tan stools, diarrhea, dizziness.abdominal bloating and pain. I Have been doing Hulda 's Parasite treatment with products I found at a local Health food store. but am planning on purchasing a kit from one of the sites recommeded in order to assure that I have the correct strength and consistency. I did the treatment for about 2 weeks , felt better then stopped within a week symptoms returned so have been on the treatment again for about 2 weeks and am feeling better but will continue for another month or 6 wks. I also tried the lemonade fast on my days off (from work) and will do it again with the bowel cleansing program. I purchased the bentonite powder and the label states not to take over 2 tbsp. per day, The bowel cleanse program uses more than that Any comments?? I am in the process of reading the archives to the many lists as time permits. Regards, Bev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Hi Eleanor & welcome. I am Betty raising my Asperger/Bipolar grandson age 14. T%his is a good group & someone here always has good advise. Take care,Betty Eleanor Dyne <epdyne@...> wrote: Hi, My name is Eleanor.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Hi Beck, Thanks for the welcome! It's interesting what you say about birth problems etc. The psychiatrist who dx'ed said he was seeing more kids like who had had either a pre-term birth, complicated birth or mothers had had complications in the pregnancy. I had pre-eclampsia with all 3 which is why they had to be born prematurely. I know Tony Atwood (I'm in New Zealand so he's our big leading light out here!) has said he's found a relationship. As all the kids were pre-term births I've become quite involved in the preemie circles and it's amazing the numbers who are being dx'ed with 'autistic like symptoms' - some have gone so far as to call the common pattern 'preemie syndrome'. It's interesting what we do and don't know about the brain! My sister was a neuroscientist and we had many arguements back and forth over what can and can't affect the brain and when things show up and how! Even she agreed with me that 's not breathing at birth and not breathing on his own for nearly 2 mins has to do something to the brain! 's AS is something we've worked with in isolation really so it's good to find a group to be with! While he's 'improved' in many areas since coming to homeschooling being with him all day I'm coming to realise other areas where he needs a lot of help! Thanks, Eleanor.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 I would like to point out that there is evidence that possible loss of oxygen to the babies brains is more likely a link than just being premature. Although there are a host of problems facing preemies. When a baby is born the umbilical cord is almost always clamped and cut right away. Now a baby is not ready to fully saturated their oxygen levels right away and this premature separation from the umbilical cord can be an issue. Studies that were done a long time ago on new born monkeys found that even as little as 90 seconds of oxygen loss made the blood brain barrier permeable to things like neurotoxins. Specifically they were able to see that babies who were jaundice and had minor oxygen loss had a very high level of bilirubin in the brain tissue. Normally the biliirubin would not be found in the brain tissue (or at least not in these levels). These babies were found to show signs that can be compared with autistic spectrum symptoms. Of course this study could not be expanded because soon after all of these study had been done it was , rightly so, concluded that it was inhumane to continue with them. Now these are the fact as I remember them and as I summarized them. I shared it just to pinot out that as I had a C-section with my son and C-section babies, as well as preemies, are more likely to have oxygen loss at birth. This study showed that all it took was as little as 90 seconds of loss of oxygen saturation to make a difference. Therefore even vaginal births where the cord is cut before adequate breathing has been established can lead to problems in the brain tissue. Now I would also like to point out that when the oxygen loss was more substantial then there was actual tissue loss and MR was found to be a result of that more sever oxygen loss. Here is the question though. Why do we now (and for at least the past 60 years) immediately sever the umbilical cord while it is still functioning, still pulsing with oxygen rich blood to the babies tissues? The only answer I could find was that is just how it is done now. Historically the umbilical cord was not severed until it stopped pulsation (and therefore was nonfunctional) unless there were complications warranting separation. Just something to think about.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 These are all good theroies, but that is about it. I have heard that within the next year there will be a medical breakthrough on treating and curing autism. I have a friend on the inside who is helping to develop the cure.. > Hi, > > My name is Eleanor.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Hi Joann, I didn't say it did work for ALL AS kids, just that it's becoming more common in preemies as more are surviving difficult and more significantly pre-term births. Not all preemie kids are AS and not all AS kids are preemies, not all babies born prematurely have disabilities, not all eyes are blue! We're all different and that's what makes the world an interesting place :-) But, in 's case, the psychiatrist does believe that the circumstances of 's birth had a significant affect on him. Considering my blood pressure was so high the placenta was seperating before he was born (decreasing his oxygeon supply), considering there was this horrible silence in the OR after he was born as they worked to get him breathing after he was born, considering he was 3lb 14 oz (1795g) and because of all these issues they weren't sure he was going to survive his first 24 hours I think that if AS is the end impact then that's probably better than having lost him.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Hi Beck, Yup the brain is certainly an amazing thing! And everyone, preemie or not, are different. All 3 of mine were premature and 's the only one with AS so it seems that it is the unique circumstances of each birth which comes into play as well. Best of luck with your son starting the big school adventure next year. It wasn't for but we had to try and see. As I've said to others - school is a one size fits all kind of thing and we all know one size fits all never fits anyone especially well and sometimes just doesn't work!
