You won't find any music in our local buddhist temple (in Wimbledon) so not sure what this is referring to. Chanting perhaps?

There are various Buddhist temples in London. If you find out maybe I could get hold of the music and send it to you. I could do with some myselfxx Sally

Sharon. Potassium and sodium is in part regulated by aldosterone, a

hormone which is secreted by the adrenals.High potassium and sodium on

hair tests show dysfunctional adrenals. That was one of the first tests

showing any thing definate in my daughter. That was 7 years ago and

stupidly I ignored the implications of this. I should have focussed on

the adrenals back then. Goodness knows, those dilated pupils, symptoms

of adrenals in overdrive, were staring me in the face all the time.

I am more and more convinced the adrenals are central to the autism. I

would be really wary about supplementing with potassium as it must be

impossible to figure out what the body really needs. Why don't you go to

the heart of thge matter and concentrate on recuperating the adrenals.

Vitamin C (mineral ascorbate) and B vitamins throughout the day is

recommended as well as any activity which calms. I just read a

fascinating study carried out in London where smokers were subjected to

Buddhist music. So many of them were so relaxed, they gave up smoking.

Must see if I can find out where to get this music. Maybe if you have it

playing in the background, it will soothe the soul.

I just looked up aldosterone...hyperaldosterone.....alkalosis! low

potassium!! This would certainly suggest that the adrenals are working

overtime...probably in response to stressors.

this study would suggest that hyperaldosterone plays a role in autism.

The antagonist to hyperaldosterone is Spirolactone, a substance which

many parents are using. probably the benefits derived are as a result of

the adrenal having some time to calm down. Personally I wouldn't mess

around with hormones.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez

Spironolactone might be a desirable immunologic and hormonal

intervention in autism spectrum disorders

There are various Buddhist temples in London. If you find out maybe I

could get hold of the music and send it to you. I could do with some myself

Abmd has a thread running on problems caused by spirolactone

.............with no one expressing great support

-Thankyou for your response,

I think Katy does have problems with electrolyte balance.When

searching over symptoms she has i keep coming back to potassium and

Thyroid ,adrenal and her high urine ph. It 's just knowing where to

start.

Have just found this information this morning,so i think i will just

concentrate on giving foods rich in Potassium and get some Vit C

into her,unfortunately she hasn''t tolerate B Vits in the past,but

has recently just started tolerating the Metabolics Children's Multi

Vit so hopefully this will help.

http://www.answers.com/topic/potassium?cat=technology

She does not have dilated pupils,but is either hyper or very

lethargic and phobic to dogs and causes great anxiety when we are out.

Both myself and Katy would benefit from some relaxation,we'll have to

look for the budda music (thanks Sally !) or a yoga class.

I'll see if I can get her adrenals ,thyroid and kidney function

checked.

Thanks again,

Sharon x

LOL, I was wondering when the last time I heard Buddhist music. I'll

have to re-check that study :-)))
