Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Our son has been chelating with TDDMPS for 13 mo's and mouths alot of things all day.All of his mineral levels are good....he gets lots of magnesium and zinc and these are even showing as high on labs. I think it's just the chelation/ metals and we need to ride it out. --- cxu2002 wrote: > My son has been constantly mouthing everything.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 I still think he needs more zinc. For my son, when he mouths things, it is always related to mineral deficiencies, especially zinc. I've heard that kids need at least their weight +25 in milligrams, so your son would need a minimum of 67...maybe quite a bit more. I've gone as high as 80mg for my little 42 pounder, especially when chelating. Just be careful to split up your doses, zinc can be nauseating if taken a bugnch at once. You might continue your current things and add a different form of zinc. Kirkman sells a few different kinds (including a transdermal zinc cream), and believe it or now, we've done well with Water Oz zinc and E-Lyte zinc too.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Hi Jen, I going to guess that others in the group addressed this, but we have seen mouthing be a good thing. It can be the nervous system coming back online. I've observed MB12 and Valtrex start mouthing and it shortly thereafter turn into speech. We've seen that a couple times in the group and I have had one child at my school act similarly. I also had one child who's diet was off and it seemed like a nutrional craving. We do not have a lot of reports here yet, but Dr. Neubrander has published his posative views for some time (about MB12 and mouthing) from what I understand. In time we'll have more reports and more information to share on mouthing. - Stan > > My son has been constantly mouthing everything.
