Guest guest Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 diet - did gfcf, then scd, now we are back to a quasi scd with some gfcf allowances.therapy - aba 20 hours a week at home, plus the ot, pt, si. gets extra speech every other week up in south brunswick, nj. he is learning the gotalk 9, doing facilitated speech.enzymes - we did dpp-iv way back, got some good stuff from it for a time and then it seemed to fade. we are thinking about doing a new enzyme, maybe something from houston.probiotics - alternates betwwen klaire labs and custom probiotic.clo - yes, and a gazillion other supps including vitamin e, liverlife, biotin, dr, n's powder, uva ursi, vitamin c, the list goes on.epsom salt baths - yes.behaviors - he is a very nice and affectionate child. he does not tantrum much, is not bad with transitions, and he loves going to the playground, the store, rough play, or car rides. he generally sleeps through the night.he is apraxic, ie has alot of trouble making words (we understand him but it is pretty tough for anyone else), and is just plain stiff as a board motorically speaking. he is a little ocd but not too over the top, but he does not play with toys appropriately, is not interested in other children (a little interested in his little broher), and is kind of spacey. stimming is there, lots of twirling toys, galloping, not all day but intermittently.he is a bit of a sensory seeker, is hypoactive (very hard to get him dizzy), lethargic alot of the time with bouts of hyperactivity, very itchy in the am and the pm as of late (this never happened prior, trying to figure out if he is developing eczema, seasonal allergies, or if it's yeast). so the short of this is cognitive and focus (add), and communication. there are other things,but these are the biggies.

Which one? Does he take probiotics? Which one? CLO? Which one?Have you tried giving Epsom Salt baths to detox?As long as you have an azole on board, for yeast, then yeast, w/ Valtrex, should be a non issue. Dr. N. (for some odd reason), likes to prescribe Nystatin w/Valtrex. I had to fight him on this one. And he eventually let us use Diflucan. I basically would not give my son Valtrex unless on a strong antifungal like Diflucan, or Nizoral.Liver function has been fine (knock wood.) We test every four weeks. And I make sure my son drinks LOTS of water, takes milk thistle, and eats liver detoxifying foods.Sorry for all the questions.. I'm just trying to get a sense of what's going on...so that we can help you.

I'm not sure if the dosage was too high, but we noticed major regression (the first time), I got scared and stopped. At the time, we didn't have anything on board for yeast, and we were only gfcf, not scd, corn free and soy free, like we are now. So, perhaps, that's why it didn't work. The second time we tried LDN (about a year later), we only used "two lines," instead of the suggested (by Neubrander), "five lines."

His philosophy and approach makes more sense on what goes on with these kids and he treats them very methodically. Spect scans of the brain are done, tons of blood work is taken to test for many viral issues, etc.., and his diet protocol is tweaked a little from the GF/CF diet. If you haven't heard about him, you can research him and find a ton of presentations online that he's given and learn about his approach. He basically told me to stop all supplements for now while we tweak his diet, and will be starting him on Nizoral this weekend. I've researched a lot lately that backs up why he doesn't recommend taking any enzymes, or other supplements when you start any of this kind of medication. It all makes so much sense now. We're waiting for the blood work to come back to learn more about my son's issues. The spect scan was something else that truly showed me more concrete evidence of what's going on with my son.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Lynnit's funny you mentioned dr. g. we just ran all kinds of immuno panels and have been trying to figure out who to see - dr. goldberg in ca or dr. russell in ny.so you are doing the NIDS i guess. you should check out this site - stopcallingitautism.orgit is authored by a dad (juan) who went to and is still seeing dr. g.. the videos of his son before and after are pretty dramatic.

Our journey started when he was 2 1/2 but really escalated in 1st grade. Not to make this a long story, but we've tried everything, too! We recently worked with a DAN doc and after several thousands of dollars and tons of different supplements, again, I started hearing about Dr. Goldberg. He's in California, and I don't know how realistic it is for most people right now, but I took his first available appt. and flew out there with my son. I realize not everyone will be able to do this, but after all the years I've been doing this, I feel this is our last stop.He's a pediatrician that has spent years researching and treating this crazy epidemic of 'spectrum disorders'! His philosophy and approach makes more sense on what goes on with these kids and he treats them very methodically. Spect scans of the brain are done, tons of blood work is taken to test for many viral issues, etc.., and his diet protocol is tweaked a little from the GF/CF diet. If you haven't heard about him, you can research him and find a ton of presentations online that he's given and learn about his approach. He basically told me to stop all supplements for now while we tweak his diet, and will be starting him on Nizoral this weekend. I've researched a lot lately that backs up why he doesn't recommend taking any enzymes, or other supplements when you start any of this kind of medication. It all makes so much sense now. We're waiting for the blood work to come back to learn more about my son's issues. The spect scan was something else that truly showed me more concrete evidence of what's going on with my son. We all know that if the immune system is compromised that it affects our brain. He not only shows you that, but then has a specific plan to help heal our kids! I know that many people have gotten results trying different things. But since my son is older now, I didn't feel like doing this any more and still feeling in the dark!!

Dr. Neubrander, in NJ, is our DAN! who prescribed the LDN. We tried LDN twice. The first time it didn't work. I'm not sure if the dosage was too high, but we noticed major regression (the first time), I got scared and stopped. At the time, we didn't have anything on board for yeast, and we were only gfcf, not scd, corn free and soy free, like we are now. So, perhaps, that's why it didn't work. The second time we tried LDN (about a year later), we only used "two lines," instead of the suggested (by Neubrander), "five lines." Christel King, who is also a member of this board, suggested that I try two lines. And it put our son over the finish line and into a state of recovery. We've never chelated.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 If you mean you're chelating with something like cilantro, he's likely to think you're just wasting your time and money on something that isn't doing much chelating anyway -- this is only a guess, though. That's just something I can picture him thinking about cilantro chelation. Cheryl~http://www.gryffins-tail.blogspot.com~@midian42~ Hi, All chelation, in his opinion, is harmful?

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 I do not recall saying dr. g was affiliated with nny, but that dr. russell is. if i misspoke sorry about that. as far as i know the only thing tying them together is the phrase NIDS, and i suppose the general treatments that go with those letters.cheryl - i know a parent who is doing subcutaneous immune treatments, gamastan i believe. is this the painful every three week thing you mentioned, the imig? do you have any experience with imig and/or ivig? our local dan has suggested we do an ivig as a trial if we do not see anyhting from valtrex... this is down the road, but it sounds kind of scary, and not super sustainable (ie don't kids tend to need lots of infusions, and these are 3k a pop and up? plus can't your child pick up lyme from an ivig, as they do not test for lyme - God only knows why aka i suppose it comes down to money?).things like that - clarifying this meaning antiviral and immune-related therapies, but not things that involve chelation or hbot.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 These are not subq. Subq means that it's just below the surface of the upper dermis. IMIG is intramuscular and yes, those are the ones.Here's what I know, IVIG is more effective than IMIG. IVIG costs a lot more, though so I would find out if you can get it covered by insurance. IMIG is only $60 a shot. These are *both* blood borne products so there is risk. IMIG goes through a bit more of a processing thing so a little safer than IVIG (according to Dr. G, at least. That's what he told me so I can only assume that he is correct, I have no idea if it's true.) It's not 3k a pop for infusions but it can come to that as a monthly cost.One of the biggest misconceptions is that if Valtrex doesn't work then you're done. There are other antivirals to try. If there is anything that Dr. G deserves his props on its most definitely his understanding of using antivirals. I may disagree with him on the majority of everything else but damn, he knows his way around those!
