Guest guest Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Hi , we’re ALWAYS going through this. Just when I think Tom is better, he goes.. well not quite backwards but he loses his happiness, playfulness and communicativeness. He actually doesn’t lose language or skills like he did when he really regressed at around 16 months and in therapy is ok but not out of therapy at these times. We had a big wow with chelation a while back and progress continued for about 6 months. Then we started RDI and had a massive improvement – he was so happy and playful – this was about Nov I think. We also added Vit D and saw mainly more improvements but some negs too – by xmas he wasn’t quite as good and by Jan he’d lost all the play and was obsessive. Nothing new had been introduced since the Vit D so it was hard to blame supps. We introduced VSL and he improved, we introduced some more and he went right downhill as a reaction to the VSL. After a week and a half of reaction/ die-off he came back better than ever before. that was almost a month ago and he’s still improving. Over the last few days the obsessions have eased off and play is returning. Who knows if it will stick??? He’s got a stinking cold at the moment which is not helping but he is still happy and not too obsessive. Anyway, this really isn’t an answer to your question just to say we go through it A LOT!!!. It would be nice to have it explained to me too. (something to do with - as one function kicks into action it uses up vits or mins from elsewhere???)
