Re: a few questions, Dr. M, everyone?

[Guest guest]

I have never used Labs so cannot comment. I feel genomic science is

very young and incomplete, since many neurotypical persons have some of the

abnormal findings of the ASD kids. I personally do not order these tests,

as almost all the children I treat improve, and it would be rare that I

would find anything on genomic testing that would direct or change my

treatment.

For selenium, I like VRP's liquid selenium, 50mcg per drop.

Tremors suggest hyper-sympathetic issues; you might try GABA (NF Formulas),

up to 1000mg a day, theanine 100-200 twice daily, VRP, Thorne, taurine up to

2000mg a day, and a few kids show a response to 5HTP, 50-250mg/day.

Dr. M.,

Thanks a lot! As always you are tremendously helpful

and generous to answer.

So I will keep on trying the folinic & MB12 combo . I

have a feeling a little folinic is enough . As my son

improves the high doses of the B vitamins ,DMG/TMG ,

MSM, CoQ10, etc push him into an irritable state.

By the way ,he appears to be doing well on Lipo GSH ,

nodding his head and gesturing better. He is 13 and

very verbal but can't nod very well. He is also a bit

grouchy on this too.

I am new to the list, I'm Peggy. I have Asperger's, I'm in my mid 50's. And

I'm regressing. I discovered my ASD when my son, who is also Asperger's was

experiencing school difficulties. (about 1999) In the last few years, my

hearing sensitivities have dramatically increased, I have reflux problems for

the

first times, IBS dx in 2000, and other troubling symptoms,that were much much

less of a problem, in my younger years.

Anyway, in the past few months, I have noticed the soles of my feet turn

BLACK. This usually happens when I take a warm bath, and then goes away. What

could this possibly be? I am also getting very sensitive to warm weather, and

fatigue easily when I'm out in it.

Thanks for any thoughts. I'm interested in the topic of chelation, but don't

know much about it. Are there any papers I could read on the topic.

Hi Peggy and welcome.

This is a friendly and supportive list and I know you will find help

here.

I surmise from your being on this list that you have Dr. McCandless'

book. It will be your best guide to have a good understanding of

things including chelation and will have most everything in the

updated 2nd edition except the new TD-DMPS protocol for chelation.

Along with chelation there is so much to be gained through testing

and proper supplementation also. My son is recovered and we did not

chelate but rather his body began to detox itself naturally after he

was metabolically balanced. We may in the future need to do more but

for now the biomedical/DAN! approach that Dr. McCandless does has

done the trick.

FYI, there is also a list on yahoo called chelatingkids2. On that

list (and maybe here too. can't remember) you can find lots in the

files section. Most of the talk right now is about chelating with

the new TD-DMPS but there are tons of things in archives of both

lists on other methods. Many have also had luck with using TTFD to

help the body to naturally detox. So many of these interventions

work together and it is hard to separate them.

I imagine you have explored diet but if not you might want to read

Seroussi's book. It can be bought at bargain prices at

National Autism Association's website.. www.nationalautism.org.You

can also find a lot of info at the ARI website... www.autism.com.

There are many new things being uncovered now that offer much hope

to us all. I wish you the best and know others will have more info

for you. It's really late and I can't think beyond this but just

wanted to say welcome.

Blessings,

in AL

Hi again... I did not mention the enzymes (they are discussed also

in the books) but we are also using those but it is not a substitute

for the diet.. .just a support to it for us. We use Kirkman's Enzyme

Complete and do very well on it.

Good luck again!
