THE GFCF IS NOT TO HELP WITH ALLERGY, BUT INTOLERANCE, SINCE MERCURY DEPLETES OR

RENDERS INEFFECTIVE THE

DPP IV ENZYME NEEDED FOR BREAKING DOWN PEPTIDES IN CASEIN. GLUTEN AND NOW ALSO

SOY ARE KNOWN TO INCOMPLETELY BREAK DOWN LEAVING SMALL PEPTIDES WHICH CAUSE

HAVOC.

[ ] Interpreting autism/allergy test results

Hi everyone, Has anyone on this list had ImmunoLabs allergy testing?

If so, I hope you'll be able to help me interpret the results I got.

Our son has been gf/cf for almost 1 year, yet wheat and milk did not

show up as reactive. He drinks soy milk as a substitute and soybeans

were a reactive food at the +2 level out of +4. There were 9 other

reactive foods. Does this mean that eating these foods will make his

autism worse? Should I take him off soy? Finally, will taking him

off reactive foods help the chelation process? I am somewhat new to

the list and to chelation and appreciate any help you can give me.

It is another 3 weeks until our next doctor's appointment and I did

not want to wait that long to find out if these foods are harming my

child. Thanks, Paige, mom to , 3 1/2, mercury toxic and

Peyton, almost 5, NT

Anyone know if you can test to see if this enzyme is working right? Since my

son now seems to be finished releasing mercury and continues to heal and be

able to add new things to his diet/exposures, we're considering retrying

gluten and casein after TBM treatment but I'm nervous about it. Would be

nice to be able to test to see how this enzyme is working.

Often, if you stay away from something you are allergic to for awhile, your

body does not react in allergy testing until you eat some of it again. It's

possible he would react to it again if it were reintroduced into his diet but

his body is less reactive at this time since he's been off it for a long time.

It would most likely make it harder for him to function and perhaps increase

symptoms. The more stress that is placed on his system, the harder he'll

have to work to progress.

>> Should I take him off soy?

I'd do a trial off of it for a few weeks then add it back to see what happens.

>>> will taking him off reactive foods help the chelation process?

Probably because his body can work on healing itself rather than fighting

ongoing assults.

Hi

My son has done the ImmuoLabs allegy testing. The DAN

doctor advice me that my son shall avoid those foods

which has a reactive of (+3 or above).

Gluten and casein sensitivity does not usually show up on regular allergy tests

from what I understand.

Gaylen,

I'm curious about testing for DPP IV also. Does the TBM practitioner say via

muscle testing that gluten and casein are OK now? Can you test a peptidase

enzyme for whether or not it is needed by the body, or would reintroduction of

gluten and/or casein be necessary first before either of these two muscle tests

would be valid? Reintroduction scares me too, because I understand that it can

take a while (3 months) for bad effects to occur, and by that time the situation

can takes months to improve again.

I'd heard that Dr. Amy reintroduced these foods for her son (a year or so ago?),

and I wonder what she based that decision on. Anyone from DrAmysKids know? Is

he still off-diet?

Also Gaylen, have you managed to reduce supportive supplements? I'd like to

think that muscle testing would be helpful in determining when to quit providing

the various supplements. I finally learned to ask the TBM practitioner we see

to 'ask the body' about long term needs, as we were cycling between higher doses

and getting off certain supplements, rather than establishing a long term dose.

So now she will test a supplement and say, for example, " take 3 per day for 5

days, then take 1 per day " or " don't take this for a week, then take 1/2 capsule

per day " and these long term doses seem to hold up over repeated visits. I've

also noticed that, for my daughter anyway, there have been times (not always)

when she has to have taken a supplement at least once or twice before the muscle

test is valid. I've gotten the go-ahead for taking a supplement, then had to

pull her off (both established via muscle testing). I suppose this could be due

to a number of reasons. Anyway, that's why I wonder about the validity of a

muscle test for g/c (or foods containing g/c) before reintroduction.

Energetic testing has greatly reduced our ups and downs around here, and though

there is a learning curve for all involved, I recommend it to everyone who can

suspend their disbelief long enough to see results.

Hi Paige

we had an food panel test for our son(asd). He showed a " 0 " marker for corn.

We have been GFCF for a year and 1/2 now. We believe corn was not be a

problem. We were excited because one less thing to worry about. we were also

reluctant to pull corn out due to so many products contains corn( in some

for or another). My husband would complain " why is he so hyper...clapping so

much...so much screaming .......we have been on the diet so long " . " Why

aren't these behavior/quirks going away " . I didn't know why either. We just

decided to go for it. We stopped all forms of corn. our son was so much

better after doing this. We have been corn free since mid Aug of 2001. The

test is a good starting point. I guess what I am trying to say is just test

it out for yourself. Take the foods out and reintroduce them and see how the

child reacts. Our son's behaviors are not completely gone but less

frequently and more calm. We just started our pre-chelation supplements 2

weeks ago. He is so much more happier. smiling more, nicer to be around.

Best move so far. Hopefully we will begin chelation soon.

best wishes

If you are observant and empirical, trying the things that other

parents say worked for your kids, you can make a lot more difference

than " mainstream " MD's think is possible. It isn't rocket science and

from the way the medical community is acting, apparently having an

advanced degree interferes with the process.

My girlfriend was just reading a bunch of satanically evil stuff on

the American Academy of Pediatric's website that told the doc's how to

convince parents not to try alternative treatments (because the pedes

know they don't work, of course, and should make all the decisions for

the parents) so I have an unusually bad attitude right now :-|
