May 30, 2006

Hi Jane I am new to the site and would like to understand about degestive enzymes and about bathing my son in epsom salt as I did bath him in it last night and he slept extermely well but I am just looking on internet and dont really have time to go through well or may be I just need to chat to some one . My son is he is autistic well not fulley the doctors said he is ADHD, has severe learing disability and epilepsy he has no speech but he is a lovely boy lots of smiles. is 12 will talk more later if you want to talk to me [smiles] Eva Jane Hogan <jane_hogan@...> wrote: Hi Tetty, For us removing gluten and cassein alone (and we did make mistakes at first ) made a big difference in the sleep department. was a child who slept for a few hours before midnight and then woke, wide eyed, giggled, made stupid noises, bounced on the bed, invaded our bed and carried on like this for a few hours everynight until he finally fell asleep around four oclock in the morning - we were totally exhausted and this caused us a huge amount of stress. This behaviour went on for years. The diet solved this within weeks. We only ever have a problem when gets gluten or cassein. In fact, now that we are using digestive enzymes I don't think the odd infraction causes us much if any problems. We are soy and now sugar free but we had already

solved the sleep problems when we took these out.

Hi Eva,

Where abouts are you in the UK? Have you looked at www.treatingautism.co.uk You will find loads of information on every aspect of biomedical interventions. My son will be 12 in August. He was non verbal, and the severe end of the spectrum. Email me either on or off line, more than happy to chat about the things that work for us, or anything else!

Dear all,I have just returned from visiting a DAN doctor in US.I told him that one of my problem is getting an early sleep for myDD and sleeping through the night.My DD sleeps at 10 pm and will wake up at around 2 am, asking for

milk then back to sleep again after 1 hour.He prescribed the following and all to be given at the same time,- melatonin 1 mg- 5HTP 50 mg- LD naltrexone 1 mg (TD cream)This whole is a new stuff for me and then I came across some

information in Sidney Baker's book that made me doutbful.It said that longer term effect on melatonin is not known. As it isa hormone, I am quite worried.Studies shows lack of melatonin production with ASD kids, and that may be a reason for him not sleeping, so give it, like you give Insulin to a diabetic. 5HTP is safer but I read the label that it shouldn't be given withother sleeping aids. Does this mean that I should not give at the

same time with melatonin ?- It is an amino acid, precursor to brain calming transmittor, just try it..

On top of that, I didn't find LDN as sleeping aids, instead it isfor immune system.Yes but it might also have a calming efect, althoug he might have got it for other isssues, that makes good sleep indirectly. LDN is a promising way of attacking Autism. Now I am confused..Has anyone had an experience in using those stuff ?

Appreciate for your information or any advice, as my DD's sleep isnow worsen.Don't know if this is an effect of jet lag, it is the fifth daysince we returned and so far she only sleep 5 hours at night!!

Help please.. tanks, TettyI would give more Melatonin as a trial.And inositol and - or Epsom salt bath if he not already gets that.And it might be worth trying TNS or alpha stimulator.

But of course NO MILK when he wakens up during the night....!Geir Flatabø
