on the vitamin C--the only one my kids tolerate is Ester " C " WITHOUT

bioflavinoids. Hope this helps. Laurie

Also for my probiotic I use Primal Defense. The powder didn't work which

surprized me to no end but the pills do. I give about three a day to my 7 and 9

year olds but to my 14 year old who weighs 180 I give between 4 and 12 a

day(depending on how rich I am feeling at the moment-all these supplemints run

into

money). Laurie

I would have taken a probiotic WHILE I was carrying the baby. I would have

treated myself and the baby Homeopathically from the start. I have one child

that I started at two years old and he has not had any antibiotics although he

has had ear problems and they tell me he has and exceptionally small ear canal

that is susceptible to ear infections. I would have fed him more raw food

(blended raw carrots instead of cooked, etc.) and less cooked food and I would

never have allowed milk in his diet if could have seen how much better he is

without it.

You make the comment " use good minerals to replace the bad metals " My son is

high in about 8 metals. Learned of high Lead and Mercury from blood test.

Learned of high Mercury, lead, copper, and 5 others I can't think of from hair

test about 8 years ago. I am sure his count is different now but I am not

willing to keep spending money to count something I don't seem to be able to

help.

We have never been able to get the metals out by using the Kyo greens or the

vitamin " C " or anything else they suggested. Cilantro makes him sick. He takes

Cod liver oil, vitamin " E " , Prevail digestive enzyme, Primal defense probiotic,

Co-Q10, B-complex, vitamin " C " , 250 L-Taurine, Lipoic Acid, Aspartic Acid, 50

mg B6, 500 mg Magnesium. That is what he takes to help with his petit mal

Seizures. Starting anything else just increases his seizures. Do you have any

thoughts on MINERALS to get out bad metals with out increasing his seizures????

thanks Laurie

you might look into the Feingold diet and see what they take out. Diet

affects everything we do. There are artificial flavors in things we would never

dream of. There are fillers and binders in everything to make them last longer

on

the shelf. For instance-Garlic salt usually has a substance in it to keep it

from caking. Buying salt and plain granulated or powdered garlic is just as

easy if we know to do it. In most low fat milk there is a preservative. In White

marshmellows there is BLUE dye (which is made from the byproducts of the oil

that goes in our cars). So looking through what the Feingold group has

researched may help you solve some of the puzzle. Also salicylate are sometimes

culprits of troubling behavior. When my youngest son eats apples he gets the

runs.

When my oldest son eats apples he gets a terrible case of the sillies-he laughs

to the point that it will drive anyone crazy. When my older son eats

cucumbers it affects his bladder and he will have trouble with daytime wetting.

And

milk and wheat make it very hard for him to hold onto his temper. It might be

worth looking into. Laurie

Make sure that the Mom is not switching breasts during a feeding. The

foremilk is quite thin, and it is only after feeding for a while that the

hind milk becomes available. This is where the fats (and as a result the

fat-soluble vitamin) are concentrated.

If the baby is only getting the thinner fore milk, they can eat more than

they should in an attempt to get the nutrition they need. When my kids were

breastfeeding, the La Leche league recommended switching breasts, but they

have since changed their tune.

Hi --

Just like with 2 y.o.'s (or anyone, for that matter!) it's best not to

respond to a melt down by melting down yourself -- but, it's gonna happen at

least sometime. I'm sure that all of us know exactly what you're feeling --

this past summer I was in a small, quiet museum exhibit room with my 14 y.o.

OCD/TS/ADHD son and his 12 y.o. sister. He was frustrated and then angry at her

for some reason and wound up yelling and shoving her -- everyone in the room

stopped to stare. Not fun.

When (not IF) I find myself responding with anger (usually because of my

son's cursing at me because he doesn't lilke what he's being told he needs to

do) I try to disengage & say to him, as calmly as possible, " okay, that was a

bad choice, " and then move to either delete his favorite computer game or

remove his PS2 equipment. Sometimes he escalates for a minute (out of

frustration

and, I'm sure, awareness that what he was doing was wrong), but we can

separate and then have a calmer discussion later.

His pdoc would say that we just need to tell him that that kind of

unacceptable physical or cursing behavior is...unacceptable (well, duh) -- but

the

real trick is to help them figure out how to reduce their anxiety, frustration

and impulsivity. Is your son working with a therapist now? Do you have

someone to talk with?

Spirulina, I have been told by a naturopath it can be used as a sole source

of nutrition when your not tolerating any foods. I've never heard of this.

It doesn't seem possible. I don't think it would have enough calories???

Any thoughts???

Re: Effectively diagnosing and treating Candida by

Teitelbaum

it never goes away.. your wasting your money on supplements for Candida

overgrowth. The yeast eventually adapts to the supplements you take. Yea,

you can improve and get arid of some of your overgrowth, but it NEVER goes

away completely once its at the chronic stage. I dont mean to sound like

the doomslayer here..but it is true.. Anyone that tells you they have been

cured of chronic candidiasis (someone thats had it for atleast 5 years

straight) is full of crap.

I even went to Biamonte in N.Y.C. for like a year and spent over a

$1000 on just his supplements.. Even he said candida adapts to all

supplements eventually. You just gotta live with it... Treat candida like

its your buddy... sometimes he acts up...sometimes he doesnt.. oh yea..and

when your sleeping, he's awake.

maybe if you dont eat anything for a month and just drink water, you have a

slight chance of being cured of candidiasis.. but you wouldnt live..so whats

the use..

Dont eat asmuch sugar as normal people do...stay away from carbs and breads

asmuch as possible and you will live a decent life... Spending all your

money on these crazy herbs and supplements is just hurtin your stomach and

putting more stress on your heart and other organs. Plus, the brain fog is

20 times worse when you take those stupid supplements.. and no, its not

die-off reactions... thats just what people like to say to make u feel

better.

There is no scientific evidence that proves chronic candidiasis is

curable... infact most of the modern medical community doesnt even believe

in Chronic Candidiasis. They think just giving you Nystatin will cure it.

So like i said..just be calm and accept it..and live with it.

I've always heard great things about spirulina, lots

of vitamins, minerals, proteins, amino acids etc. so I

guess it would be a good if you have to have it as a

sole source of nutrition, although it would be

difficult to consume it in sufficient quantities.

I know when I was very underweight and ill (6 stone)

with giardia many years ago, very allergic and not

able to digest animal protein, I managed to put on a

stone and a half by eating lots of oats porridge, some

brown rice (do be careful of carbohydrates though) and

homemade green soup...the soup was leeks, garlic,

onion, rice pasta, spinach, lentils, olive oil,

mineral water, any other vegetables that were

tolerated, all boiled up together. Plus soup did seem

easier on the digestive system at that stage as well.

Hope you manage to find something that works for you

diet-wise: I know it can get pretty frightening when

you suddenly become allergic to lots of foods.

Best Wishes,

Jane

I'm Diastrophic. 3 ft 6 inches. I have my seat waaaaaay up because my arms are

really short. Had a 98 Silverado driver side air bag blow up in my face after a

low speed front end collision. The bag barely touched me. I felt the air from

it and gagged half to death from the power stuff they pack it with, but it never

put a scratch on me. The driver bag is big but only big AROUND. Like a tire.

Mine never came out more than oh...6-7 inches or so from the center of the

steering wheel. Since I knew I was about to hit something I just pushed myself

back into my seat and turned my head slightly to one side. I too was scared to

death that it would hurt me but now I know for a fact that air bags as far as

the DRIVER SIDE goes, on my 98 Silverado, will not hurt me. It may save my

life. I had it replaced. The only advice I can give is from what I experienced

personally myself in my truck. I can't answer for ever model vehicle in the

universe. I can tell you that on

every vehicle that I own or will ever own that comes with an air bag, it will

stay on. They save lives. Happy crashing!
