Guest guest Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I think you're doing GREAT Kassia! It's hard to go to school AND exercise. The only reason I got in exercise in at all was because I played women's volleyball at school. I didn't get to play in the games much (I was a bench-warmer because I was really a beginner) but I did get to workout with the team 5 days a week! I miss those days. JenSubject: (unknown)To: exercisevideos Date: Thursday, February 3, 2011, 10:46 AM been a rough few days. took yesterday off with the intention of ab work but really didn't get to it. this morning i was not feeling well from a bad headache/puke session yesterday so i kept it to two kettlebell circuits 30/30. i have class in a half an hour and we are walking the track today so that is some extra activity. hoping to get some more pushups in and a stretch. goal is to increase upper body strength with pushups and eventually will add dips and inverted rows (pullups modified with my fluidity bar). i was never good at pushups but didn't do to well for the endurance test so i will put focus on bodyweight movements in my kettlebell routines while i will still have 2 days a week for weights only. hoping to get some better news as the weekend approaches. to much stress from stupid stuff that shouldn't be.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Osteopaths are really good,.. boys tend to have narrow ear tubes.. worse at puberty as the bones in their heads change to the adult form.. So stay with this... I have read that antibiotics are implicated in significantly all cases of glue ear.. they found kids most likely to have glue ear were ones who had had a lot of antibiotics in their childhood. There is a lot of hay fever around at the moment and many report itchy throats and coughs with this.. so perhaps this is part of the problem.. and if he has a blocked ear he may have secretions going down the back of his throat... which would cause coughing too. Simple foods.. easy to digest and Cranial Osteopath would be my remedies of choice...Tracey at this point i have realised i was so stupid to start the 250mg of amoxicillin at 5ml three times a day and he being sensitive absoltulely sent his system into high alert, the number of strong seizures went very high yesterday and has calmed down now that i ahve stopped the antibioptic.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 I don't think an association is the same thing as causation. Babies who have a lot of ear infections are (as some of us know very well)more likely to have several course of antibiotics in their early life. That these children are more likely to go on to develop glue ear is not surprising - but this in itself does not mean that the antibiotics have caused the glue ear. It worries me that someone has been advised to stop a course of antibiotics part-way through without informing and checking with their doctor. Obviously in the case of certain adverse reactions it's necessary to stop the drug at once but whatever the case the GP ought to know what's happening - and if it's an adverse reaction they ought to be requested to put a note on the child's file as well as to file a Yellow Card detailing the adverse reaction. There is also the problem that stopping an antibiotic early helps to breed antibiotic-resistant bacteria, thus rendering the drug ineffective in the future.(Perhaps the best known case of a drug resistant organism is MRSA.)

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 's case was that antibiotics were just ineffective in clearing up ear infections, allergy was never suspected so ever stronger antibiotics given, this then totally wrecked his gut. He had so much fluid build up in his ears that he probably didn't hear too well during this period either, grommets were offered but refused, this is what I blame for the severity of 's autism, his decline during this period was rapid and stark our fight to regain his health has been long and fraught and may never be complete but the autism diagnosis ruled out all other possibility or investigations. The doctor at A & E had to be forced to look into his ears in the first place sometimes I wish he never had, we would have discovered the milk problem anyway.

However once the excarbated seizures settle maybe i will go back to amoxycillin at a lower dose, not sure if anyone has any other option in my situation, at least the dr says the amoxicillin is the best option as he has had this bsfore. Could the seizures be also a sign of die off, i am not sure ? tahira To: Autism-Biomedical-Europe Sent: Wed, 20 April, 2011 19:31:31Subject: Re: (unknown) I don't think an association is the same thing as causation.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Hydrogen peroxide is good for ear infections.. Glue ear is something different.. usually caused by poor drainage from the ear.. The odd shape of his head is likely to affect the shape and pressures both within his head and ears... Working with the Cr Ost will be good funnily enough things like sucking fingers or thumb can help to release some of the pressure on the jaw too.. Once his head expands the ear canals will expand too.. when my eldest hit puberty.. his ear openings were almost invisible... and he had chronic ear infections... released as soon as his head expanded.. mainly through working with a good osteopath. Has he had teeth removed? just that when teeth are removed the jaw has lost the teeth pressure to help it expand.. and so you can have no overcrowding in teeth, however you can still have a jaw too small to support the larger head. Best WishesTracey but is hy per ok for the glue ear problem, ie would it make pos impact on the accumulated fluid in middle ear. as for the teethg, no there is no overcrowding but the cranium is odd shape and small so maybe that is causing problems.his ear canals i have been told are very small.

Tash used to have a lot more seizures with every new tooth... again osteopathic treatment made a big difference to her. The cough could be a post nasal drip... and may be totally bacteria free... Helios may be able to help. We get 3% hydrogen peroxide from any pharmacy.. When the children's ears are bad I have put one drop of hydrogen peroxide in the ear... and let if fizz for a while..which indicates that there is some sort of muck / viral. bacterial issue... then get them to turn over and let the drop drain out... then do the same on the other ear... This should only be done occasionally as it clears out the wax and wax is a natural safety barrier for the ear. Best Wishes Tracey hi, tracey i feel that it probably is viral , the ent cosultant a month ago lookied deep into ears and confirmed he has fluid in both ears however in fear of another surgery[grommets] i started the osteopathic intervention and what has happened is that the osteopath found good results as did we[the ear pulling and pain seemed to subside over the course of the three sessions in three to four weeks] however he has come up with a cough and ear pulling only few days ago . the dr only suggested i try the antibiotic as he was having plegm etc and was feeling miserable. i am seeing osteopath in couyple of weeks time do you know if helios suggest anything for glue ear ?.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Just a warning - hydrogen peroxide is corrosive to living tissue and ear drops (whatever they may contain) shouldn't be used if the ear drum is perforated.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 In South Africa where my sister was a nurse in a critical care ward of an exceptionally good private hospital , they routinely poured hydrogen peroxide into wounds after major surgery to combat infection.. and their MRSA rates and recovery rates were very good. I am not sure how they irrigated the site after washing out with H2O2... just that it was far more effective than antibiotics as it targetted both viruses and bacteria..so I understand..

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 We are seeing him a week on wed, I'll let you know what I think afterwards.Alison R hi, can someone please suggest if seeing dr goyal for my son would be advisable, what the advantage would be . He is under jean muscroft and going thru the biomed program roughly at methylation stage. he is sensitive to so meny supps that the program is moving ever so slowly and also the program has so far not had a great impact on his seizures or speech [although maybe to small degree there is some change] so if there are people out there who have seen benefit from seeing dr goyal aswell as doing biomed please do advise. esp from seizure standpoint. He is on scd and part gaps diets. thks tahira Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Dear TahiraI have had two of different makes and they have been as good as each other, one more expensive than the other, however same good results.I have not done any GF breads and have not done any yeast free one's either.- and think that if you are wanting to do yeast free, which suits most of our kids and wheat free too, then you may be better off simply making quick things like soda bread in a normal oven. Best WishesTracey Dear ALL, i wonder if anyone can suggest a breadmaker. i have looked at the kitchen aid ones but not sure if they work out best for breads and if so where to shop for the best priced ones. any suggestions welcome. thks tahira Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
