Eczema/Teeth brushing/Walking

Does anyone know of an effective treatment for eczema? I have used the Aveeno

creme that has oatmeal. plus Eucerin. These treatments have been OK for ,

but I'm wondering if a better homeopathic option is available.

Also- any recommendations for a pleasant teethbrushing experience?

doesn't like it- he really chomps down on the brush, making it difficult to

clean the teeth. He will be 3 yrs. old next week, plus has sensory problems,

which I'm sure doesn't make the process easy for him.

Finally, I'm curious if anyone's son walked after the age of 3? is not

walking yet- he will take steps with assistance and walks slowly in the gait

trainer for brief periods of time throughout the day. We were told that the

combination of the dual diagnosis, sensory issues, and very low muscle tone are

the reasons why it is taking him longer to walk (by 2 neurodevelopmental peds.),

but that he will eventually. I really look forward to that day, because my back

is starting to ache a bit ( is 30 lbs. now)!

Any insights that you can share regarding the above would be greatly

appreciated! Thank you.

,

Nick was using a mobile stander at 31 months because

he had no balance and I was afraid that his joints

wouldn't be stable if he wasn't upright. Plus he had

pneumonia twice a year and they suggested I get him

upright. I read some information on Oxygen therapy

being beneficial. We did our first 40 treatments at

32 months (oct-Nov.). Nick could stand with the aid

of a ladder dowel almost immediately. Within 5 weeks

he said mom and began standing in the middle of the

floor by 35 months. He began taking steps at 38

months but would go into an unbalanced run and fall

hard.

We decided to do Oxygen again the end of May. He

began to climb on furniture, at first falling off

because he didn't pay attention to where he plopped

his butt. By the time we finished our treatments he

was a pro off and on furniture and paid attention to

where he was. He would walk, just when he wanted to.

If you had a vacuum going he would walk 25 foot to get

to it. The only negative things about the oxygen is

1. It isn't covered by insurance 2. Nick is more

aggressive or frustrated after treatments and I have

to work hard on the 'hands down, soft hands'. My arms

are covered with scabs and bruises.

We have gone 2 more times over the last 3 years. He

has started holding our hand, which is a little thing,

but his tactile issues were such that you could only

hold his wrist. He'll walk in the Mall without me

singing 'The ants go marching on'. Plus I can brush

his teeth, which he still doesn't know if he likes,

with out holding him down. I used to have to lay him

on the ground with his head between my legs, one leg

over each arm, one hand in his side gums and the other

brushing. I did all this why I gleefully sang " Are my

teeth clean' while periodically opening my mouth wide

as an example. I even could scrape his plaque off

while he was sleeping to make our visits to the

dentist less of a HELL. You know, that nasty gadget

they prop open the mouth with and only the dentist

will try and get in there. Luckily we have had no

cavities.

Nick is 6 1/2 and can get in the bus himself, if he

feels like it. He still enjoys leaping into my arms

without much warning. I do suggest you lift weights.

I got Nick in Head start when he was 3. They have to

have 'special' kids as part of their enrollment. The

school has to supply a PARA while your child is there.

That will give you time to hit the gym and start

lifting weights. Nick weighs 58 pounds. Before I

lifted my rib was always going out. I am doing good

now. I lift 70-90 pounds and try to just keep over

what he weighs. Lord willing he'll be easier to

handle soon, before I break.

Take Care.

Excema: I used Aveeno for years for Elie

Toothbrushing " You might buy one of the battery brushes (about $6) and see

if he likes the vibration.

Walking: Elie didn't walk until he was 3 yr, 3 Mo. He took his first step

alone at 3y 2mo, 25 days so it was a very quick progressio. He ran at age

5. He jumped off one stair at age 5.

Hope this helps.

Hi Sara and Dianne,

Thanks for your suggestions and perspective - I really appreciate it. Dianne, is

there a website regarding info. about the oxygen therapy?

Sara, liked the battery brush for a while, but seems to be going through a

phase at the moment with no interest, but I'll keep trying- actually they're

better at keeping the teeth clean than the manual brushes, so I hope that he'll

eventually come around.

Hi ,

My son , didn't walk until he was three years old. It sounds like if

he's taking steps with assistance -- it shouldn't be too far off that he

will do it on his own. My son is 7 now and there's no stopping him, and I

remember when I wondered if he would ever do it. And he did!!

Keep walking with him -- it'll happen.

There are homeopathic options but its best when you have some lab

test done to see if there are any food intolerance/sensitivities that

would trigger the eczema.

One way to find out if there are any underlying medical issues would

be a trial of an elimination diet.

You could begin elminiating one food item at a time to see if this is

triggering anything. Another would be to eliminate sugar, gluten, &

red dye or yellow dye No.5.

Once any of the food items were removed my son's eczema went away.

Had it all over his head, back, face, chest, etc. Recently another

son had eczema all over his back, never has been tested but

eliminated the color dye items, gluten, & sugar and it went away. Now

he watches what he eats.

Symptoms:

Skin

* Hives

* Eczema

* Atopic dermatitis

Respiratory:

* cough

* wheezing

* Asthma

Foods responsible for 90% of allergic reactions:

* Milk

* Wheat

* Egg

* Soy

* Peanuts

* Tree nuts

* fish

* Shellfish

* More commonly seen in children

Biomedical Treatment:

* Immune system dysregulation

* Detoxification system impairment

* Gastrointestinal disorders

Its identify, treat, and restore the underlying biomedical

conditions. Once a medical professional has tested in the areas

needed then a list of supplements/vitamins could be recommended. This

is where the homeopathic or even a nutrionist/dietician comes into

the picture for this. If you're aware of a Homeopathic, maybe they

could refer you to a medical physician whom they have worked together

with other clients.

,

Nick had epilepsy for 15 months, 3 months of that was

undiagnosed, another 3 toxic on medication(stupid

Neuro). That was when we found out about HBOT. I

read about it on the MUMS group. I also found out

that it helped with Autism. Here is a link to the

MUMs group.

http://www.netnet.net/mums/Whyhbo.htm

I was at the Ability camp in Canada with a mother from

Cal. All 3 of her children had autism. One was

cleared of her diagnosis and the other 2 were greatly

improved. That is is you call having one child fight

with the other instead of sitting dormant while the

other tantalized her. But that was a blessing to see,

normal behavior. This is the link to Miracle

mountain.

They are a discount therapy in the States.

http://miraclemountain.homestead.com/AutismHBOT.html

I tried to go in my own state, but they immediately

think you are an insane mother that thinks they can

cure their child of DS. And why should we try, they

are already retarted. UGH. It is just a good thing I

called and wasn't there in person. STUPID people.

I will probably go again this year. I really want

some better communication. I am going to start

traveling to a larger community for additional

therapy.

Nick gets so naughty that I just have to cry or laugh

and shake my head. I need someone to work with him

1/2 the time so I don't go crazy. Nebraska just isn't

a good place to live for assistance. Budget budget

budget. He does start school Tuesday and believe me,

they are going crazy and he has 3 different Para's

during the day. It is just a good thing he is so

sweet 60 percent of the time(when he gets his way). I

am sure they would kick him out.

I hope you can find some good information on the

Oxygen therapy. Nick always had good advances and

everyone(the other mothers) at the facility wanted to

cry for joy.

You can also search google for more information.

, was around 3 when he walked also. Back then there was a

canvas seat walker (taken off the market in later years as considered

unstable and caused accidents). Hope I explain this so you can

understand. Dh extended the 4 legs of the walker with pipes so

would have to stand more instead of sitting yet the canvas seat gave him

support to stand. It wasn’t long before he was walking without the

walker.

very low muscle tone are the reasons why it is taking him longer to walk

(by 2 neurodevelopmental peds.), but that he will eventually. I really

look forward to that day, because my back is starting to ache a bit

( is 30 lbs. now)!

Any insights that you can share regarding the above would be greatly

appreciated! Thank you.

Elie, being about 20 years younger than was treated slightly

differently. We were told not to use a " walker " as it could dislocate his

lax muscles in his hips. Either way, he started walking on his timetable,

shortly after he was 3.

It doesn't seem to matter what way we raise our kids as long as we give them

opportunity for growth - they have " retarded " development - thus they

develop slowly.

Hi—replying to an old topic.

My son has VERY sensitive skin and I never thought we’d find a treatment after

years of trying everything. Here’s what we’re doing and his skin is doing

great-almost no more scratching.

• We use ONLY Aveeno skin relief body wash-hair and face. No soaps, no shampoos

• Only Aveeno moisturizer-calming or skin relief

• Aveeno anti itch cream (it's like calamine) on spots that he scratches-knees,

torso

• We double rinse his clothes and bedding and use fragrance and dye free

products (just Tide at the moment)

• He was tested for allergies a year ago and we started Singulair.

Unfortunately this might be the thing that’s making the biggest difference. It

only requires a blood test-they wouldn’t do skin scratch-my son’s a tough one

especially around doctors-he’d take their face off if they tried to scratch him!

;-)

Also-because my son has BIG ISSUES with personal space and sensory issues-we

find the best way to brush his teeth is by sitting on the end of his bed (or a

chair) and having him sit at my feet below on the floor. He looks up; I sing or

talk him through it, and brush his teeth. Even better to have him hold a

“comfort” object. For my son that would be a basketball jersey.

There is a liquid washing machine product called ALLErgen. Don't know where

to get it because someone gave it to me.
