Guest guest Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Hi, it's called an Ionic Foot Bath. I've heard them discussed and know a few people who've tried it. One didn't see much although there was lots of junk in the water, another swears it was the final step in the recovery of her son. She spoke at the Autism One conference about it. I can put you in touch with her if you'd like. She's on another list that I'm on for biomedical interventions. > > Hi everyone, > > I could use brutally honest opinions and advice on this one. > > My husband gets chiropractic care for his back.

His mom > claimed that he had gotten so much better since his detoxing treatments. I would like to know if anyone is familiar with Chiropractic care of Autistic kids. Does it hurt? They want a hair sample from Sophie to see if she has metal contaminations. Hi , since you last posted in regards to asking several questions, any update? Did you have your daughter seen afterall with the Chiropractor for the Ion treatment and were the colored glasses the Prism lenses? Did you make sure to stay in touch with the mom whose son is already taking this route? Just curious since your last post in March. Thanks, Irma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 We haven't done chiropractic but do craniosacral. I've been told that many kids with autism have Chiari malformations and that chiropractic adjustments can cause serious damage. That scared me off until I can get an MRI done to check for the malformation. I have heard that chiropractic can work well on ASD kids, just don't want to risk damaging something else in the process. > > Hi everyone, > > I could use brutally honest opinions and advice on this one. > > My husband gets chiropractic care for his back.
