However, our son drinks carrot juice and it turns him yellow and always makes the Dr's worry. The yellow fades rather quickly when he is off carrot juice for a few days. We give him carrot juice to reduce the amount of " sugared " juices - in place of fresh juiced fruit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people are just afraid of drugs without really knowing how they can help. One drug that works great for one kid might not do that for another. Maddie does great on risperdal, showing huge changes in behavior and in cognitive ability. Yes, we have other issues still, but this was like an amazing benefit to all of our family, but mostly for Maddie. However, there are kids on this listserv who didn't tolerate the risperdal well at all. Wouldn't life just be grand if the answers were crystal clear and right in front of us???? ;-) As far as sleep goes, you might want to try something like melatonin or even benedryl. Good luck and keep us posted. Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 <<Many people are just afraid of drugs without really knowing how they can help...Donna>> This is so true. I shared with a friend of mine yesterday that we had taken Jordan to a Psychiatrist for the ADHD, etc., to see what we could do to maybe help slow him down. The doctor named a lot of different drugs that we could try on Jordan... to see how they might affect him. I told her I really was afraid of doing that. My friend, who has Parkinson Disease said that these drugs do not cure, they only treat the symptoms. She used her self as an example saying the drugs she takes does not cure her Parkinson Disease, it only controls the tremors she has, which in turn allows her to function on the task at hand and be more productive. Her given example helped me look at administering meds in a different light. Hasn't yet change my (and my dh's) mind about doing medicine yet... we are going to following thru with the sensory input therapies first and see how that goes for a while. - debby (mom to Jordan, 4 years, 8 months) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 We have always looked at medications as a last resort. But once we chose to try them, we looked for those that made Andy more " available " to education. In other words, Buspar has helped tremendously with his anxieties so he can focus on the task. Risperdal helps him control his impulsive and aggressive behavior. Both of these make the world seem more sensible to Andy and as a result he is better able to learn. For whatever that is worth. joan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Thanks Dan for that piece on double dominance. I think that there should be more of an effort to help and or support lp families that have gone or going threw this pain of losing a child to double dominance. I've went threw the heart ach three times. Going threw it the first time was 13 years ago and I felt helpless because there was no one to talk to about it(lp's) 11 years later going threw it again twice in a year, theirs still no support groups in respect to this issue. but there's support for everything else. I'm sorry for rambling on. its just when that subject comes up it angers me because there's no support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Hi Randy: That the 30% restricted rhesus monkeys are living 30% longer was disclosed by Dr. Barbara Hansen in a conference presentation earlier this year and those reports were posted here at the time. The fact the monkeys were first put on CR at the human-equivalent age of 50 years, I was informed in an email from Dr. Hansen, when I wrote to ask that specific question. The original study, of which the conference presentation was an update, was peer-reviewed, published, etc. in 2003. It is listed among the studies in the files here at : " Mortality and morbidity in laboratory-maintained Rhesus monkeys and effects of long-term dietary restriction. " Bodkin NL, TM, Ortmeyer HK, E, Hansen BC. March 2003. PMID: 12634286. J Geron A Biol Sci Med Sci. 2003 Mar;58 (3):212-9. You say that you do not believe there are data to support this. Do you have a reason for saying that? Do you have information that is different?
