Guest guest Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Well I was trying to give a little hope I am glad that I had some success. I can tell you my basis for these comments... In Amy Holmes' oldest documents and see warnings that stimming will get worse once chelation begins. Also there are some frank commentary on stimming in Dr. Neubrander's MB12 documentation. Then of course not hardly a digest from any of these ASD lists arrives without some mention of stereotyped behavior (who started the term " stim hell " anyway?). So anyway about the concept of stimming possibly be a good sign. I first heard of this concept from Rudi Verspoor. Since then I have raised my antenna to passing comments from various individuals explaining how certain therapies cause temporary stimming with a slant on how this is a sign that " the process " is taking place, but few details are given on the why. In a recent interview with Teri Small on Autism One Radio Barbara Brewitt went into decent detail on how the process of neuron repair caused stimming to increase. I can buy that stimming can be a sign of progress. It's the old " cause a bad reaction because it is exactly what you needed " concept that causes us to abandon good therapies early and stay on bad therapies too long. So now that we have talked theory perhaps the worst my son ever stimmed was what turned out to be a disastrous challenge and re- challenge of sulfasalazine and olsalazine to " help " his gut. I can guarantee these drugs were not forming new neurons; just slamming a piss-poor detoxification system with salicylates. This fits in more with the Lang model that stimming is a red flag that you are detoxing too quickly. So if an intervention caused stimming I think you have to look at what that intervention could be doing. If almond muffins cause stimming I would say toxic overload due to phenols. If LDN causes stimming well there's not much there to be toxic; perhaps some positive changes are taking place and the system needs to adjust. Besides I think there are more people reporting improvements in behaviors I think you should not let the stim issue keep you from trying it. If the long-term reports match the short-term we have winner. > > > > > Anyone in the study see a decrease in stimming? > > > (hand flapping/finger > > > tapping/scripting).
