Guest guest Posted October 14, 2002 Report Share Posted October 14, 2002 I used to have the same problem. I am an adult that has gone through amalgam removal and detox. I used to have chronic low grade fever that on some occasions would become more uncomfortable. I would be warm to the touch and my feet would be nice and warm for my wife. Usually my temperature (under tong) would be normal. This situation has greatly improved with detox. My wife will miss my nice warm feet. I AM NOT A DOCTOR but I think it has to do with the way mercury disrupts the hypothalamus and endocrine system (the systems that maintains body temperature). I think it is best to make the child comfortable, help the body do what it is trying to do. Keep a blanket on the bed so if the child feels cold, getting a blanket is easy and convenient. It was my experience that I would hate using a blanket when I first went to bed but after sleeping a few hours, I would feel quite cold, and need a blanket. This would occur even if the room temperature remained constant. - ability to regularte --- In @y..., <tomato@w...> wrote: > > Subject: Re: Re: OVERHEATING! > > > > She constantly complains she is boiling inside.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2003 Report Share Posted February 23, 2003 , When did they get their bands? With the first two days were the worst. The sweating got better and Friday after her 1st adjustment it amost has gone away. has been in her Band 1-1/2 weeks. I think her body is adjusting and when they ground down some spots in the band it helped to get some air moving around in there. Oh and it seems like they scrapped away some of the stink. It should get better. Take care, Heidi- SAHM to 7, 4-1/2 (DSI, Apraxia) 10-1/2 months (VUR, Tort/Plagio-DOC Banded 2/14/03) > Did your children overheat when they started the bands?

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2003 Report Share Posted February 23, 2003 Hi , The babies body temp has to adjust to the band. It happened to all of our babies. After a few days the sweating stops. You're doing the right thing by just having them in onesies. Also if you remove their helmets a few times a day and towel their heads and the inside of the band that helps too. > Did your children overheat when they started the bands?

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2003 Report Share Posted February 23, 2003 - We were told the first few days to remove the bands every couple of hours and wipe down Dane's head and band. This helped him regulate his temperature. It can get hot under there! It may take a few days, but almost every baby is fine with his/her band. My son also was banded at 5 months and got pretty much perfect correction, so hopefully you will see progress soon! Welcome to the group!

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 Remember the Hornet? I had one of those in the early 70's. What a funny looking car, but not as bad as the Gremlin! LOL!!!

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2003 Report Share Posted June 30, 2003 How about the old Ford Pinto? I swear every friend and every boyfriend I had in the 80's owned a Ford Pinto.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2003 Report Share Posted June 30, 2003 And now it seems the Pinto has galloped into the pages of automobile history. I can't even remember the last time I saw one around here, or a Chevy Chevette, a Ford Escort, or an AMC Pacer or Gremlin. When I was a kid and looked at the pictures of old cars in the 1920s and 1930s I thought they looked kind of funny. Now our kids will look back at the cars of the 1970s and 1980s and feel the same.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 I remember discussing this topic on another group and the biggest thing that came out is that's it's related to mercury. If you touch my son he is always boiling whatever time of the year, especially his hands. He won't sweat (if he was detoxing well would'nt have all these issues I guess) and I know when the weather is hotter he just lays on the ground most part of the day. Got much better this year even in Italy (pretty hot about 103 average) and I think it's a benefit of chelatioin.
