Guest guest Posted June 18, 2001 Report Share Posted June 18, 2001 I don't exactly remember the percentage (this was about 5 years ago)...but, the stuff we worked with had to be kept refrigerated. As it warmed, it could react with the air and combust --- I unfortunately witnessed an incident where a fellow analyst was not careful and the peroxide exploded in a glass beaker and a fragment pierced his cheek! I've just been noticing my spelling in the past few emails....boy, do I need to use the spell check or just plain slow down and let my mind catch up to my fingers!!!! >From: carriebeary77@... >Reply-Vaccinations >Vaccinations >Subject: Re: Dumb question? >Date: Tue, 19 Jun 2001 02:27:09 -0000 > > > > Ok, I'm new to this...but, I've got a question regarding wound >cleaning > > ....someone made a comment about using soap and water and >perioxide.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2001 Report Share Posted June 19, 2001 It sounds like the stuff you use at a lab and the stuff they sell OTC is totally different...you don't even have to keep the OTC stuff refridgerated.... My mom is a big peroxide person, but then that was before they came out with all these antibacterials like Neosporin.....she'd pour it on our wounds and always say " look, it's bubbling...that means it's infected " , which now i don't know what it means but i don't think it has anything to do with infection.... I don't use the antibacterials hardly at all....the only time was when my son got a 2nd degree burn on his hand from a curling iron then i was a little more worried about infection..now looking back I thinkI could have done what I always do (just change and dress the wound more often) and it would have been fine.. I use a first aid spray that has grapefruit seed extract in it (a natural antibacterial) and add some Melaleuca (a high grade form of tea tree) oil to it....an herbal salve that has lots of antib herbs in it...pure aloe vera gel.....stuff like that.....the health food store carries this stuff...I feel like all those pharmaceutical heavy laden anti ointments are just contributing to the mutant strains arising today that are going to be big trouble for us later, so I avoid them.....and really, most of my kids minor scratches and cuts go untreated and end up fine (germs aren't all bad :-) ) > Ok, I'm new to this...but, I've got a question regarding wound cleaning > ....someone made a comment about using soap and water and perioxide.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 > Here's the question: When I figure out what my son needs in the area > of enzymes, chelation, supplements, etc., do I continue to give these > meds or do I take him off then start the alternative therapy? This is situational. Depends on how he is doing and what happens if you withdraw the meds. My suggestions are dump the following if at all possible: > Zoloft > Risperdal > Seroquel > Aricept > Perodic allergy injections (for inhalents only) > Miralax > Zantac > It is OK to replace a lot of them with either good OTC agents or safer meds. He is on so many meds you really want to do a lot of supps and re- evaluate the meds, the side effect profile has got to be pretty horrendous. Also get the doc's to explain in detail exactly what the meds are for (what the indication is) and what they are supposed to be doing. This will be very helpful in deciding what supps to try and what to do with the meds. Andy . . . . . . . . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 >This may be a dumb question, but hopefully the group will indulge me >and offer an answer. > >Are we seeing that an NT/NN style diet is helpful for both autistic >people and ADHD people? > > I think we discuss that more on the GFCFNN group, at least in terms of food allergies. Being somewhat autistic (apergerish) myself, I can say that my diet helps a LOT, and it has helped with my kids and several other kids I know with ADHD. But in those cases it's probably a zonulin issue, not just " Nutrients " per se. When food allergies are involved, you get the blood/brain barrier breaking down, and rogue proteins get into the brain, and you get a real " drugged brain " issue, which is what a lot of parents are finding with autistic kids is the problem. Also the types of fats in the SAD aren't the types the brain needs ... good animal fat and your CLO helps the brain too. Coconut oil tends to help the thyroid be less sluggish, and eating fish tends to make your brain work better (some amino acid, I forget which, but it really helped me on finals). Vit. D and zinc and B vitamins are very much involved in brain function too. And if you drop the high amounts of sugar, fructose, etc. the blood sugar/cortisol issues don't mess up the brain so much. (the WD helps in this too, as does weight lifting). Getting your gut bacteria in line does amazing things for your brain too, I think, though I haven't seen anything written about that specifically (though the gut bacteria are involved in synthesizing some vitamins, which might be part of it). And if you drop processed foods, then the food additives stop being such an issue (they mess up the brain too). You put it all together, it REALLY helps all the brain issues, including the two you mention. Heidi Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 - >Are we seeing that an NT/NN style diet is helpful for both autistic >people and ADHD people? Well... I think it's safer to say that we're seeing that a Scatkins diet, particularly when NN-ified, can be helpful. (IOW, low-carb, specific carbohydrate diet, nutrient-dense traditional foods from quality sources, etc.) I believe there are a number of SCD-and-autism sites out there. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
