We are very happy with it so far. He is a real gut issue kids and just to use something that bypasses the gut has been a big help. To early to tell anything (just a couple of months) but, we are seeing good things at home and at school. The school knows nothing about the new treatment and is a good gauge of an " outsiders " opinion. He has had " excellent " on daily reports, something new as most are a middle of the road " ok day " . Stims are down, consentration is up, patience is better. Emotions are up,but in a good way like big tears when I had to leave and go home or pout/big tears if he is scolded in any way. You know, kind of more normal responses. Things like that. He's been at this all a long time and tried most everything out there so, to see any good solid response is significant to us. We have no test results other than bloodwork so far. First metals testing due the end of the month. I don't think it's a miracle, but another excellent way to chelate and may be a good choice for some of the kids. The jury is still out.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Ann, I'm so glad to know your grandson is doing well on the TD DMPS. Our daughter is still using the oral DMPS. We also use the clay bath. I've tried different clays, but she responds great with the arsenic chelator bath. I also can tell a positive result with the Authia. Dr. said that we could use the baths along with the DMPS. I hope your grandson just gets better and better!!

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Hi Shari, What kind of clay are you guys using, and where do you get it??? Also, how do you use it (exactly)? I've heard it can be quite messy (perhaps a foot bath?) Thanks! At 04:54 PM 8/23/2004 -0500, you wrote: >Ann, >I'm so glad to know your grandson is doing well on the TD DMPS.

But, I just got off the phone and for the first time in over 4 years of trying to get him to talk, much less talk on the phone...I got a Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii and a mememem as I constantly say to him, Grammy - mememe thinking that one day he could at least get meme out. Best phone conversation I have ever had in my life. Here's to nothing but good things for all our kids....and pray it's not a fluke!!! ;~) Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 Hi, our son has been using TD-DMPS for 2 weeks now, and we've noticed great results. I've heard from some parents that they've seen good results in the beginning and then it tapered off. Some others didn't notice anything, and others saw initial regression. With us, we've seen more improvement than in the last year of ABA and the GFCFSF diet combined. We actually just took our son off the diet (he went on it at 19 months) and we've been giving enzymes. Even with that, we've noticed no regression (or loss of skills, I should say) and the TD-DMPS has proved very beneficial. In the last two weeks, Noah has shown greater receptive skills (from about a 0.5 to a 3), more awareness (people have asked what " we've done to him " b/c he's so compliant and aware). He has had great therapy sessions, started using PECS, shown affection to others outside of our family, an increase in social skills (chasing other kids, playing hide and seek, seeking out other children), he's also shown an interest in toys that he never played with before (the shape shorter and a magnadoodle) and has been playing with with them appropriately. Also, and this seems strange, he seems to be improving with his gross motor skills. He also has mild Cerebral Palsy, and he's never been able to manipulate certain toys and he can now. And he's also started climbing on furniture. We found him sitting in the middle of the kitchen table last night. He never even showed an interest in climbing before. It's really odd. At the same time, he is peeing a lot and it's dark and smelly. He seems a bit more tired. He wants to be held more. Sometimes he seems more whiny. The first few days he whine a lot, but it's tapered off. I don't know if these benefits will continue, but I'm so thrilled to have them. Noah has always been really affectionate, but his communication skills and play skills were practically nil. He's still not talking, but seems as if he understands us - even if he doesn't respond. When we talk to him now, he stares at us really intently and sometimes babbles back. It's still just lots of " ma, gu, bu " but it seems like he knows that he's meant to respond. Anyway, this is our experience. We also orderd the Thorne's MethylGuard, which is new to him and started using mag/sulfate cream. Maybe the combination of all of that is helping. I really don't know, but I'm glad something's working. Best of luck, Mom to Noah (2.10 years) and Eli (11 months) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
