Re: newbie : are these bio-med supplements safe enough

[Guest guest]

those are safe in terms of toxicity but no guarantees they will be

tolerated by any particular child. our son reacted negatively to super

nuthera, probably 'cos of folinic in it. first negative was

hyperactivity but after a couple of months use he became more and more

distant, definite 'proper' regression. about 15-12% of children don't

tolerate folinic.

we also saw a terrible regression on calcium, it was ca citrate, not mag

combination.

when we first tried CLO it was not tolerated well, but a year later it

was ok (we did SCD diet in them meantime plus several other things). now

he is on 2 tsps a day and doing great.

longer term vit C use in high doses can be a bit heard on the kidneys,

and probably not a good idea if you suspect oxalate issues.

I wouldn´t do that.

I would just stay on gfcf diet, certainly I wouldn´t SNT if hyper.

Any single thing that aparently could do nothing but good can be the

wrong thing or the right one for each child.

I would start only trying to watch for gut issues, I bet he has, and

find the best diet for him, you can also do comprehensive stool test

and food allergies.

Enzymes can also help and won´t do bad.

Be very strict about diet.

Be patient, it takes time.

Observe very much and carefully your son, you have to learn to see

subtle signs, it´s advisable you keep records of what he eats, when

and how he poops, how he sleeps, behave, etc

You´ll need to be more informative about your son in order to get

better help.

Stay in this list, it´s been an unvaluable source of guidance for us.

I have 2 kids on the spectrum and have been doing biomed for several

years now. Looking at what you want to supplement, I would suggest

GABA for the hyperactivity. Most ASD kids that are hyper are low in

the calming neurotransmitter GABA, and too high in glutamate which is

excitatory. Try to eliminate as much glutamate as possible like MSG,

which is in just about everything now a days. GABA has done wonders

for my kids. I would hold off on the calcium. Too much calcium can

combine with the glutamate to cause even more hyperactivity. The

magnesium is great. Several probiotics(good bacteria) would also be

a good start, as would digestive enzymes with every meal. I know a

lot of people use the Super Nu Thera, we do not. It has too much

vitamin B6 for my kids. It also causes them to be hyper. We did

genetics from Dr. Amy Yasko and have tailored our supplement program

to their specific genetics. It has been the best thing that has

happened to our kids so far. Hope this helps,

Hi,

Just wanted to say Hi and wish you good luck on your new journey! I

have a six yr. old with autism (we've been chelating with td dmps for

two years, mineral supp's (cal/mag, zinc). We give two Kirkmans

ProbioGold probiotic (two have 40 billion good bacteria). We use Mb12

and Folic Acid sublingual drops (pretty much tasteless) from AMT

pharmacy, also.We saw him learn to pedal his tricycle with nothing more

than those two, before we even started chelating. (prior to that we'd

been trying to teach him for two summers). We've tried Oxytocin Nasal

Spray (seemed to help socially). Of course, he is also hyperactive (my

older son has adhd) but the two things, autism and adhd are on the same

continuum, so they show many similarities. Gaba sublinguals smashed

into powder melt really well in his drink and seem to help with that.

Cod liver oil is also supposed to be great and necessary for kids with

adhd/autism (we just found a good one at a local health food

store...it's DHA chewables...looks like a vitamin e kind of...and I am

starting both my boys on 1,000 mg (that's what is recommended) to see if

it helps.(they taste terrible though, so they will swallow them with a

drink). I have heard from lots of parents it can work wonders. My son

is now talkative, loving, social and almost indistinguishable from his

peers right now. The people who can tell are his one on one

aides/teachers for ABA....because academics is really tough for him. I

have never seen one bad reaction or side effect....I have never seen a

rash, diarrhea, vomiting, nothing...the only thing I think may be

happening is that the chelator stirs up the yeast he has, making the

yeasty symptoms worse (ADHD). I just took him off the Td DMPS and am

trying a natural alternative called Natural Cellular Defense. I have

heard some pretty great things about it and we just started yesterday.

I hope all this info helps you a little, if you would ever like to write

or have questions about any of these things, feel free to write to me.

poisoning... " Autism " ).
