Guest guest Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 Hello and welcome to our group! We are a lively bunch, and often we spend time teasing each other and, in general, being brats. LOL BUT -- we welcome questions and will answer them or direct you back to the doctor. I hope everything goes well for you on January 12. It's exciting for you to be one of the *lap* patients! Hugs and blessings, Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Hi! My name is Marissa and I am new to the group too. I graduated from UofA back in 2002... Your doing great if you already have set a goal. I have the book...and i'am playing with my computer....but, don't have the guts to set a goal yet. I think it has to be a small goal, since I am so bad at keeping it. Anyway, you should plan a mini-vacation for the last weekend of August to get you more motivated to stick with it. Stay patient and take it day by day. Good Luck. > > Hi everyone. I am new to this group and just thought that I would > introduce myself.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Hi! I would say that 'crossing the Abyss', is certainly new territory for people who feel squeemish about making promises to themselves...SO dive in, write out your visions, expectations, goals and dreams. Use a binder for tracking, do your before pics- and be prepared to open your mind. Then! listen for good recipes, because the food on this program is the 'glue'. Ive LOVE eating beautiful guilt free meals. I dieted so much for quick results that my habit of associating guilt with pleasure was turning me into one of those cry-baby eaters! It took time, patience and a dramatic goal, in order to find the effort to change the way I view food. " is it possible to eat like this and still loose weight? I am > > making the turkey burgers from the cook book night and I feel so > > guilty! " If you like pancakes here's a recipe from one of the Grand Master Champions: Pumpkin Protein Pancakes (These are good cold too – as a quick snack, right out of the fridge!) 5 oz (canned) pumpkin, 4 egg whites, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, cinnamon, Splenda Protein Oatmeal: (this is really good as a cold snack later -or reheated!) Irish/Steel-Cut Oatmeal w/ vanilla protein powder & either berries, bananas, or raisins & cinnamon (if you can't get steel-cut oats, use regular slow-cook oats!) we're rootin' for you! -- > > > > Hi everyone.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 You know, small goals are not a bad thing....pile one right after the other and you get the big goal done. Many of us find it daunting....change our eating AND start working out, and not only an endless aerobics class but with WEIGHTS!!! (You know, when I was in high school they did not let anyone but the football team use the weight room...except for one day when they took the gym classes in there to let them see what there was. I did a leg press of 300#...wish I had starting lifting weights then, imagine what an AMAZON I would be...lol..but I digress). If that is all too much for you then set small goals. " This week I'll read the book and do my shopping " or " This week I'll hit the gym " ...before long you are doing it all and hitting those big goals. Barbara > > > > Hi everyone.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 : No question is stupid! It's a long journey and it took us two years to finally feel that we understood all of the therapies and biomedical interventions available. Don't be afraid to ask, please. Chelation is the removal of metals from your child's body by use of supplements (there are several, and quite a debate about which is the best). We all take in metals through our foods and other environmental input, but if our bodies work right, we naturally chelate. Substances in our bodies attach to the metals and then they are flushed through our urine, feces, hair, etc. Many autistic people do not naturally chelate, and so the metals build up in their bodies and cause damage. Thus, the whole controversy about vaccines and mercury - if autistic people don't naturally get rid of mercury, and they are pumped full of toxic doses of it over the first two years of their lives, they are damaged. A great book about all of the biomedical interventions is " Children With Starving Brains " by Dr. McAndless. You might have to read it two or three times to grasp all of it, but it covers all of the dietary and biomedical treatments currently being used in the field.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 I read somewhere (can't recall now...seems like I've been doing nothing but reading since May) that children can die from chelation...that's one of the reasons I was wondering because if you guys were doing it...it couldn't be that bad.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 : In the few instances where children have been injured, they were doing chelation by IV, and the incorrect amount was given to them (in one case, for example, an adult dose was given to a 6 year old). So, you have to be sure that the doctor knows what they are doing. My husband has read so much about it as well, and we are not doing IV chelation, but by oral supplement, that he knows the various recommended doses himself, and can question a doctor who might prescribe an incorrect amount. So, chelation, if done properly, is not deadly. Re: New to the group >> > >> >Ok...stupid question...what is chelation?

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Dear , Thank you so much for the explanation. I, too, wanted to know exactly what chelation meant. I do have another question. My son is 12 and recently diagnosed with Aspergers. He's pretty high functioning and is in regular school and reg classes. However, he is very interested in science and especially chemistry. He lives, eats and breaths science and I'm getting a bit concerned because the science kit that he wants has more than a few metals. They are mostly elementary experiments for teenagers, but I'm beginning to think that having him around these things are not a good idea. Any suggestions?

Don't be afraid to ask, please.Chelation is the removal of metals from your child's body by use of supplements (there are several, and quite a debate about which is the best). We all take in metals through our foods and other environmental input, but if our bodies work right, we naturally chelate. Substances in our bodies attach to the metals and then they are flushed through our urine, feces, hair, etc. Many autistic people do not naturally chelate, and so the metals build up in their bodies and cause damage. Thus, the whole controversy about vaccines and mercury - if autistic people don't naturally get rid of mercury, and they are pumped full of toxic doses of it over the first two years of their lives, they are damaged.A great book about all of the biomedical interventions is "Children With Starving Brains" by Dr. McAndless. You might have to read it two or three times to grasp all of it, but it covers all of the dietary and biomedical treatments currently being used in the field.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 , Could you please let me know what you and your husband have been reading regarding chelation. I would like to know as much as possible when we get to the doctor. Jeanne From: autism [mailto:autism ] On Behalf Of Cowen Sent: Sunday, October 08, 2006 7:21 AM autism Subject: Re: New to the group : In the few instances where children have been injured, they were doing chelation by IV, and the incorrect amount was given to them (in one case, for example, an adult dose was given to a 6 year old). So, you have to be sure that the doctor knows what they are doing. My husband has read so much about it as well, and we are not doing IV chelation, but by oral supplement, that he knows the various recommended doses himself, and can question a doctor who might prescribe an incorrect amount. So, chelation, if done properly, is not deadly. Re: New to the group >> > >> >Ok...stupid question...what is chelation?

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Jeanne: "Children With Starving Brains" by McAndless is a good resource. Dr. McAndless discusses all of the biomedical interventions in layman's terms. I had to read it twice, even so, but it has been a good resource throughout the whole process.
