Guest guest Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Hi Eisser, Welcome to the group. If you have a child who has not responded positively or in a pace you would like to see to the biomed interventions you've implemented, you really do not want to miss the big piece of multiple infections in the body. Treating Lyme is about addressing a comprised immune system, chronic inflammation induced by metals, mold, and biotoxins, and multiple infections in the body. I would encourage you either via the traditional lab tests or computerized electrodermal testing systems to find out what you are dealing with your child in terms of treatments for autism. Some time ago there were posts about a lab in Germany which does Lyme and coinfections testing. The search engine of the group is broken. I hope that someone in the group can re-post the contact info of the lab for you.

The blend helps improve cardiovascular, lymphatic, and circulatory systems. It also helps lowering blood pressure by reducing stress.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Is this the lab you meant, Limin?

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Hi Eisser, I would just like to extend some encouragement to you. We live in India. We have not had access to DAN! Dr's or the usual professionals to help us with our daughter. She was diagnosed at 3 with autism. She is now 6 and has basically recovered. We are still working on some health issues and little things here and there with her behavior, speech etc, but she is a million miles away from where she was three years ago. I encourage you to have faith in your ability to help your child yourself. there are so many amazing and knowlegable parents on this group who can give so much good advice. Just get started and expect progress. All the best to you, Maggie > >> > >> > Hi from Switzerland, I have a six-year-old autistic child. Recently > >> > I heard about the connection of Lyme-autism.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Hi , Can you elaborate on your SCD diet? DId GFCF alone made any difference or not, what are the long term effectsof SCD diet... Thanks, Sasmita > > > > Hi there, this is and I am the mother of two brilliant little girls who were both diagnosed with autism. I heard about the Lyme connection a while back but never associated it. I used to be very active but my health has deteriorated in the last 5 years plus with two girls with autism, my life revolves around them. Before I got pregnant with my first daughter, we spent all summer camping near Yosemite and I got a bullseye rash... had no idea what it was, didn't feel that it was worth a trip to a Dr. I even have a picture of me in a bathing suit where you can see the rash. I probably wouldn't even remember the rash if it weren't for the photo.

So I've taken it in my own hands, I am on a raw food diet, and the pain and brain fog is less severe now, but not all the way gone.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Hi Sasmita, When we first went GF/CF 3 years ago, we were vegetarians and we ate a lot of soy based products, which I found out in our case.. soy is almost as bad as dairy. The first diet we tried was Feingold, and within a month my oldest daughter had eye contact. Then we started GF/CF and I never noticed any difference with GF/CF at all. The only difference I felt was removing the casein from my diet, my energy sky rocketed. But as far as my kids, I couldn't see any difference. Out of desperation, we tried SCD... within a week their tummies went flat and black circles around the eyes went away. The only concern that our doctor had was that the kids would get enough carbs. The first month of the diet my oldest daughter stopped eating carbs, and became very sickly... losing too much weight and lethargic. So I decided to feed my girls fruits (lots of them) well, my baby doesn't handle fruits very well however she is doing far better than she did pre-SCD. My oldest is doing great eating the fruit. It's really hard for me because I have to keep them both on the same diet. But returning to the standard american diet, is just not an option for us so we push forward. The SCD allows dairy in the form of certain cheeses and homemade yogurt. I wrestled with it, but decided against using dairy.. I am just very allergic to dairy in any form. Presently, I am vegan, my kids eat a little bit of meat (turkey and fish) and eggs but mostly fruits and greens. Because of the limited diet, they stay supplemented. Using the right supplements with SCD is crucial, because certain additives can slow the healing process. As for long term effects, the great thing is once the gut is healed... they can go back to slowly eating foods they could not tolerate before. (although there are a lot of foods we will never eat again) There have been a lot of people that have reported their kid's losing their diagnosis once their gut healed. You do have to stay SCD for a year after your last symptom. I imagine we will be doing this for quite a few years... but it is worth it. I wish I had learned about SCD much sooner than I did. I forgot to mention... we also don't use very many processed foods and we only eat organic, organically grown and/or pesticide free. It makes a huge difference for us.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Hi , Thanks for sharing this. I listed to doug graham and did mostly 80-10-10 fo quite a while, so i am familiar with the concept of getting protein from greens. but a year later i did an amino acid test adn i am so low , my aminos are non existant..then i was finding more and more people have trouble on this type of diet with mostly fruit and greens. i also have a digestion issues,,so it could be from that. i didnt like going off of raw, but i felt i was dying if i didnt.. i know each person really responds differently, but i just thought i would add my experience. i still eat mostly raw but i do have some eggs or beans once in a while. I also have trouble digesting protein and i think this might be due to the liver. i am showing i test for ammonia..so i am using yucca to decrease it and support the kidneys. do you watch the renegade health show? I am in northern ca as well..do you still need suggestions for a lyme doctor? You can see dr. amy derksen in seattle, at a distance and she is really really good. take care, misty > > > > > > Hi there, this is and I am the mother of two brilliant little girls who were both diagnosed with autism.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Hi Misty, No problem. I am familiar with Doug Graham too. The only problem I have with raw is the deficiencies and the people who claim you can do it without supplements. Well, for those of us with digestive issues, we can't do it without supplements. I think eating lots of fruits and vegetables is so important.. even just adding a green smoothie to the diet makes a huge difference. After my third blender broke this year, I purchased a vita-mix (that was quite an investment for me). I can't tell a difference yet, except my smoothies are much smoother lol. I guess I will be able to notice the difference when I get my lab work done again this year. I don't think I will continue to be totally raw until my health gets much better. I really do miss some cooked foods. Yes, I have watched the renegade show. AND... thank you for the Dr. recommendation. I am re-locating to Portland this summer, so I will be a little closer to Seattle than I am now. I will look her up. Thanks again, Muniz > > > Hi , > Thanks for sharing this.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Hi , I know, i thought i could do it without supplements and heal my body but i found out i needed them and salt. the concept sounds really fantastic. eat clean and the internal environment will become cleaner. but i also found my body needed more support. i really love green smoothies and they seem like an excellent way to get kids to get greens in as well. the vitamix is great, i can relate to the expense part, for its really hard for me as well. there are several doctors in my area, but dr. amy specializes with autistic children, she was trained by Dr. Klinghardt and she is fantastic and not too much. She can muscle test via distance, and it comes out to be more cost effecient. welli wish you the best of luck, Misty > > > > > > Hi , > > Thanks for sharing this.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Hey, your girls sound like my son, who is in a sort of managed recovery with diet. We're doing the GAPS diet which is very similar to the SCD, but I'll have to say, when we added in fermented foods and yes, raw fermented dairy, he has come even farther! Asking questions and even more. We still have regressions but he's doing well too and is high functioning because of the diet. (email me on tips for potty training, he's 3 1/2 and still not trained, but ready I think!) Anyway, we are finally going to a doctor to resolve the possible lyme issue which I think was passed from my husband to me. My two older daughters don't have autism. My husband found a small deer tick on him before we had our son, and I think this is the cause. my husband's health and mine are also deteriorating too. We also have a mold issue too, but that's another story! A few things I heard that are indicators of lyme are the child's eye contact. If they have pretty good eye contact with autism, then lyme is a strong possibility (this is my son for sure). Also, low managnese is a sign as well. The regressions are very cyclic too. Around the full moon, quarter moon, half moon and new moon for us. To a T, I notice regressions with the moon. I'd also imagine low muscle tone and evidence of organ malfunction too, since they like the soft tissues. Something that looks like arthritis too is a big sign. Well good luck and keep doing what you're doing. Just strengthening the gut and immune system can work wonders for even lyme sufferers. I don't think everyone in contact with the lyme bacteria get problems with it. It's the ones with gut dysbosis, born with it or the mother having it passing on to her child are the main ones to get it. The gut is the first line of defense for the immune system. If the immune system reacts properly to an invader, it forms antibodies to it and fights it like any other infection.
