[ ] a friend's son

Hi,I have been working on a friend to look into chelation. She is a big proponent of SI and the only biological intervention she uses for her son is weekly allergy shots for environmental allergies. He is a mess in my opinion.He has high anxiety, meltdowns, out of control behavior. Up to about 5 or 6 years of age, he was underweight, pale, (non-verbal til 4). Now he is 8, he is way overweight, always bright pink all over, complains of aches and pains, sensitive hearing, very hyper behavior. He takes Pokemon chewable vitamins (lots of palmitate!), has a horrible limited diet. I cannot stand to be around this child and I think his teacher and peers feel the same way. I don't like my son to be around him either as I am afraid of behavior rubbing off.Any ideas on what would cause him to go from underweight to so overweight in such a short period. He is under close medical supervision, but all quiet conventional. So I think if he had diabetes it would be picked up. The mother is also very heavy, so it is somewhat genetic, but why so sudden? Here is a child receiving alot of medical care from a highly regarded university hospital system, and as far as I am concerned, is getting NO help. I just mostly wondered if anyone had seen this weight thing before, what could cause it. I am trying to talk her into chelation, anti-anxiety drugs, nu thera vitamins, ditching the allergy shots. Any ideas? thanks...=======================================================

An informed autism consultant I work with says this is a symptom of

Prader-Willi syndrome, which is on the spectrum The overeating thing kicks

in with kids who have this after age 4. You may want to advise your friend to

ask her doctor how to evaluate her child for this.

Is he on Resphidal, a lot of Moms have reported weight gain with this. Also mercury affects thyroid function.

I did not see your previous post, but my son went from

60 lbs. at age 6 to 120 lbs. by age 9...When he went

on the gluten-casein free diet,and trans-dermal

secretin, he lost 20 lbs.in less than 2 months.

I was alarmed at the rate that he was gaining

weight, 2lbs. per month, every month. He has been

" stable " since he began the diet 2 years ago.
