Any of the hair tests can be accomplished at home. I recommend

that you get the " hair elements test " . It does

require a doctor's signature. You can order it through

Direct Lab Services for $79.

there is more information here:

Where do you live?

Do you have any reasonable kind of insurance?

Do you think you can get some vitamin C powder of the buffered kind -

like sodium ascorbate - and put it in his juice or water and get him

to drink 1/8 to 1/4 tsp of that during the day each and every day?

This does sound complicated (and it does not sound like you got very

repsonsible medical help) and will take some effort to sort out.

Mercury may well be a contributing factor.

This is the test we used (DDI) and it indicated toxicity in both my boys. I

began chelation in June and both have improved significantly. One has

Asperger's the other has Dyslexia. The Dyslexic child is doing very well in

school. My Asperger son has always been a whiz at academics. Like your son

he's had behavioral challenges that are finally becoming under control. He was

originally dx'd as CP with ADD. He has always been challenged by small motor

skills, eating, drinking, hand usage, etc.. Everything has improved through

chelation.

Fully read and understand what chelation is about. Get yourself very familiar

with it. You don't have to do the test, and if you feel comfortable you can do

this without the help of your doctor. Finding a doctor to assist would be nice,

but many of us have found no one to help. I do this on my own, but I did not

start until I felt comfortable and knowledgeable about what I was doing.

The first part of your story definitely sounds like metal toxicity.

Plus because he stopped breathing while sleeping, I would suspect

antimony as well as mercury. Scroll down my page here to the antimony

section, and be sure you are not using flame-resistant pajamas for

him, and be sure you wrap his mattress, etc. I have quite a few

informative links under antimony.

This may or may not be correctable or he may or may not be able to

work around it. But even if it is permanent, there are many things

you can do to improve his life in other ways.

>> he has cerebral

Some kids have CP, or their CP is aggravated, by gluten. So you might

want to consider removing gluten from his diet

>> he has awful

Remove milk and other high phenol foods

You can also consider enzymes

This is your sign that metals are at least part of his issues.

,Many of us have found that insurance won't cover the things that will

really help and have paid out of pocket for them in order to get better. Sad

and unfair but true. S--- On Sun 12/01, & lt; ummezahid@... & gt;

Hi ,

JMHO, but as well as getting the hair test, I'd suggest his going on a

gf/cf/sf (gluten free/casein free/soy free) (www.gfcfdiet.com) diet and/or

investigating using enzymes (www.houstonni.com). A lot of parents on the

list have found these to be useful before and during chelating, and after

chelating you may even be able to drop the diet and supplements.

Also, pick up a copy of Children with Starving Brains, by Dr. McCandless

(hi Jacquelyn).

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1883647096/qid=1038771909/sr=8-1/r\

ef=sr_8_1/104-9203012-0044719?v=glance & s=books & n=507846

Good luck, my 5 year old regressed at 18 months, we started DAN protocol at

three (diet and supplements with secretin) and now I consider him no longer

autistic though still on the spectrum. The few rounds of DMSA and ALA were

very useful in creating cognitive and allergy improvement and we plan to

continue.
