RE: Auditory defensiveness and chelation

[Guest guest]

Cheryl,

If you are paying for AIT. I might wait. I did AIT with Jack two

times and the progress I have seen with the AIT is very similiar to

what I have seen with each cycle of chelation. ex, start hyper,

become more focused, cover ears. I have also read low magnesium can

cause hearing sensitivity. Andy mentions in his book taurine may

help keep some of the magnesium from being lost in the urine, check

with him, regarding taurine. If your son does not have any viral

issues, try epsom salt bath for increasing magnesium.

Cheryl,

From my observation the improvements are the same. Chelation has

been cheaper and it is more on going. One person, I know has had AIT

push their child over the hump and start talking. I have had good

results but only a few things lasted. Jack enjoys AIT.

At the start of chelation, Jack was covering his ears alot and had

not been before. Now he is barely covering his ears and we have only

been doing it since the end of Feb 3 on 11 off.

What if he does, are epsom salt baths not good?

Eileen,

The sulfate feeds the bad stuff as well as the good stuff. I

believe, Jack suffered a regression while I was trying out the epsom

salt bath. I triied them to increase magnesium during chelation and

the progress was different. I thought it might have been the

chelation. My doctor put Jack on a dose of acyclovir and he bounced

way back, got alot back that he had lost years ago. Regression can

be so subtle. Look up all the Owen posts.
