Guest guest Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 He's doing great thanks Mandi. I am so pleased with his progress and we've only done 11 rounds and that's with a break too. We are so lucky to have seen so many positive things and the three main area's of improvement are speech, level of understanding and toilet training. With the toilet training and understanding it has been like flipping a switch, it was a completely different senario before the summer. Chelation has also been a huge learning curve for me. Yeast and bacteria have been a real problem for us and sometimes they mask the improvement in speech but it's like a roller coaster and I'm working hard to keep them in check. He also needed far more adrenal support then I realised but getting that right has made a big difference too.I must saying I am really enjoying this thread. There are so many here on this list chelating and it's so fantastic to hear of all of the progress. I think the parents on this list are really amazing. xSubject: Re: Chelation Update - long & wittery :)To: Autism-Biomedical-Europe Date: Tuesday, December 7, 2010, 9:59 PM Thanks , tucking thumbs sounds easier to me lol. How is it going with your little man? Mx In Sweden they tuck their thumbs into their fists instead of crossing their fingers for good luck so I'll be holding my thumbs that you hear the M word in time for Xmas.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 , I find yeast hides alot of gains with my Sam. It was only once we did KIB500 i have noticed a difference. Yeast is a right git! But getting it under control, as much as i can at the moment! I was also the same with adrenal cortex...took me a while until i realised Sam needed more than he was getting Kirsty x > > > Subject: Re: Chelation Update - long & wittery > To: Autism-Biomedical-Europe > Date: Tuesday, December 7, 2010, 9:59 PM > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Â > > > > > > > > > > > > > Thanks , tucking thumbs sounds easier to me lol.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Kirsty,I remember you posting about KIB 500 before. Some times I feel a bit over loaded with information and don't get around to checking some things out. But this time I think I'm going to take a look at it when I can and if it's OK with you I might get back to you with a few questions?Thanks, xSubject: Re: Chelation Update - long & wittery :)To: Autism-Biomedical-Europe Date: Wednesday, December 8, 2010, 3:36 AM , I find yeast hides alot of gains with my Sam.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 we had the peeing and huge sound sensitivity issues!  Mandi, DMPS buttar protocol back in the old days under Dr U - cringe!! not good, then oral dmsa under Dr H - ok for a while then peeing got out of control ,really bad so stopped that, then did 16 rounds TD DMSA did see some very good things but again peeing out of control so stopped as had read if you don't see some improvements by then then probably not the issue, wanted to try PR EDTA but felt too intrusive! Any ideas??! Sam bigger and stronger so think we could look at this again, thanks Di x From: Mum231ASD@...

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 fab news Mandi about Sam, in fact i'm loving everyone's posts on this thread. is 4 1/2 and we have done 21 rounds ALA/DMSA and 4 DMPS...were at 8mg of both right now, just upped the dose.. We have had fabulous progress, I really thought that my son was a non responder as we got improvement but no real wows with biomed, with chelation we have had loads and most importantly finally he is healthy, no more allergies, diarrohea...... I'm almost fanatical, have not missed many weekends and when i do, i used DMPS.....he's young and I have to make the most of every opportunity to get him better..... Yeast has been tough, but he's a happy yeast monster, so i've never had cause to miss rounds for that, he doesn't tolerate some of the big yeast killers (GSE, OoO), KIB500 and boatloads of probiotis have worked great here. Other good things we have done this year are LDN (marvellous stuff) and TLP.... So all in all 2010 has been a great year for and I guess for me too, i'm emerging from my 2 year depression, have gained a few grey hairs and some wrinkles but I feel more positive about the future......when he's good, i'm good!!!!!!! My hopes for 2011 are speech, were seeing good progress. He treats us to a few bits and bobs, you know, just to send my hopes sky high and then nothing for days....but our highlights are 'shit' and 'get real', totally appropriately timed!! God bless him, he is my star man!!! x > > >>Ha ha indeed, Stephs Tom is good at coming out with this sort of stuff > as I recall, looking forward to having the same problem myself > > Mx > > > In a message dated 07/12/2010 12:43:21 GMT Standard Time, MaddiganV@... > writes: > > Desire to listen improves when he knows what you are saying, > I think he knows. > As for we do have a very clear f***er!!!!!

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Hi Mandi Really pleased to hear how well Sam is doing and fingers crossed and thumbs in hands you hear 'mom' by Christmas! Feeling a bit guilty about reading all of these great updates and not posting one of my own... Sebastien turned 6 in August and we just finished 34 rounds of AC chelation, doing long rounds in the summer (5 days). As soon as we started, it was like a switch went on, school describes it as " the fog lifted " . He developed an interest in learning, definite cognitive improvements – he went from not knowing what to do with a puzzle one week to literally taking it off them shelf himself and sitting down and doing them! He started to pedal his bike during the second round, after having his bike inside for the previous 4 months and just not getting it, despite me doing everything to help including taping his feet to the pedals and moving them around myself! Just looking over his interim review with the LEA last week, the school wrote he's made a lot of progress in the last 6 months speaking (though still technically non-verbal he has about 100 words now and is starting to put two words together), developed an interest in literacy and books, how much improved his interaction with others is. About 6 weeks ago we hit the `stall period' where we stopped seeing gains. I was told to keep chelating through this, it's normal and it will eventually pass and we will start seeing gains again, so we kept going. Last weekend I raised the ALA a bit and we definitely started seeing some improvement again! My 4 year old, never diagnosed (because after going there once I knew what I needed to do and tend to avoid doctors and `experts' as much as possible now!) His nursery told me they thought he might have Asperger's (their own son does) but he was non-verbal, seriously extreme mood swings to the point adults in public looked a bit frightened of him!, probably bipolar, the most stubborn child the nursery had ever seen, refused to interact with anyone – adults or children, gross motor and fine motor delays, severe anxiety, severe constipation which was being treated by the hospital. After about 4 months of chelation, he started talking – within another month he was talking in sentences. He's still delayed but catching up quickly and people can understand most things he says now. He rarely has mood swings now (though that might be due to adrenal cortex extract as well as chelation), he interacts beautifully with adults and children and will happily talk to an adult on their own which he never would have done six months ago. His bowels are good now, he's really becoming quite `normal'. The LEA said they have never seen such a big difference in a child in such a short period – chalked it up to maturing over the summer holiday! My husband and I also chelate ourselves. had severe uncontrolled asthma, after being very fit and healthy for most of his life. It started when we moved back to Canada briefly (I blame the 2 flu shots we had there). Then back in England he had his amalgams taken out without any proper protocol and within two weeks he completely tanked. It was scary, he couldn't work (very scary when you're self employed as we are) and he became extremely depressed so things at home were pretty unpleasant. He was seeing several specialists around the country and no one could figure out why his asthma just kept getting worse. I would say after about 6 weeks of chelation he improved to such an extent that he started to reduce his steroids, which he's been taking in vast quantities for several years now. After 4 months he was able to stop taking oral steroids completely and is now reducing his inhaled steroids. He has energy and he's happy, so I'm happy! He is probably the biggest supporter of AC chelation now. Unfortunately he was diagnosed with cataracts recently from all of the steroids he took, so I wish we had started sooner. I haven't seen any miracles for myself yet but a definite improvement in health. My Multiple Chemical Sensitivity has actually gotten worse, but again Andy says that's normal, so I'm sticking to it and hoping it improves in the long term. I definitely have more energy and I'm feeling a lot happier, like I'm coming out of a dark cave. Sorry for such a long update! After first dreading weekends because I would feel so tired from getting up in the night, now I look forward to them and the possibilities!

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 It was severe whilst we chelated for abour a year. Once we stopped it subsided a little. Now it comes and goes. We can usually gauge his mood by his sound sensitivity. Sometimes even a cough, sneeze is distressing. The other problem I had was opening capsules! The skin peeled off my fingers - I must have an allergy to them. Once started to swallow capsules my fingers recovered. We're going to chelate again soon - AC, just getting all the supp's together. He's 16 now - so not sure what improvements we will see. Jane, How long did the sound sensitivity last? We got them about 3 months ago and it is slightly better, but still very much there. When he first got them we couldn't go out, he could not handle any outdoor noise at all. We are now at the stage where the tv still has to be low, cannot handle girls screams, his brother shouting etc Kirsty x > > > > > > > > Subject: Re: Chelation Update - long & > > wittery > > To: Autism-Biomedical-Europe > > Date: Tuesday, 7 December, 2010, 11:04 > > > > Thanks Di, did you ever try the TD DMPS?

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Hi Mandi -so great to hear how things are progressing with Sam and Good on you for keeping at it so long .You are one of my hero's -have bought the ALA and its sitting looking at me everytime i open the supps cupboard !..after xmas I had an amazing wow with Joe yesterday .Joe had words but no communication he repeats words like helicopter, christmas over and over all day .im really going hard after yeast with diflucan and nats now and started mHBOT - we've done just over 30 hours -.He is now babbling alot more amidst all his drunken yeastiness . well yesterday we were looking at Buzz lightyear on the disney shop online .he noticed the toy soldiers . I thought he wouldnt have a clue what they were as we dont have any toys like that here but as he was so focused on it I asked what is was .after 3 or 4 attempts he said " shoulders and parachutes " it was one of those moments of utter disbelief looking around behind me to see if someone else said it .Of course he wouldnt say it again for me but i know it is all in there for Joe and all of our kids. Im hoping that everyone on the list gets their own WOW moment and more - a reward for all the hard slog in 2010 > > >>Ha ha indeed, Stephs Tom is good at coming out with this sort of stuff > as I recall, looking forward to having the same problem myself > > Mx > > > In a message dated 07/12/2010 12:43:21 GMT Standard Time, MaddiganV@... > writes: > > Desire to listen improves when he knows what you are saying, > I think he knows. > As for we do have a very clear f***er!!!!!
