Guest guest Posted November 9, 2003 Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 : Have you considered taurine, GABA or inositol. We've found all of them very helpful. Inositol seems to go after the OCD behavior. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2003 Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 Like you, we tried a lot of different things with my son. He became easily obsessed and could not break away from many debilitating behaviors. I would definitely try any supplements that parents here recommend. If you get to the point where you exhaust them, as we did, then I would recommend trying something like Celexa. I never wanted to go the med route, but Celexa definitely freed my son of his OCD tendencies. After being on it for 1-1/2 years we successfully weaned him off, with none of the behaviors returning. a -- " zoelle1995 " <rashikino@...> wrote: Hi, Machaela is 8 years old and we are chelating we have finished round 15..She is doing well with the Chelation..Here is our problem.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2003 Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 I forgot to mention that Inositol has helped my son a lot, and I now use this in place of the Celexa. I would give it a try. ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand! Surf the web up to FIVE TIMES FASTER!

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2003 Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 This behavior sounds like my son exactly. He is only 4. Whats interesting is that he doesnt do it at school. His classroom is extremely structured, and they are consistent with their responce to his behavior. I havent been as consistent at home. I also thought he needed more of an outlet so he can perform higher at school, but I am mainly talking about stims. We have tried inositol, but I have only given him 500mg a day so far. I think Andy said up to 6 grams. I do plan on boosting the dose and see if it helps. We had this problem with him getting into the fridge and helping himself. He would open and slam the door. As soon as we said no, or shut the door, he would run away and come back 2 seconds later to do it again. I started saying " thats mine " and " thats mommas fridge " and gave him a time out everytime he opened it. It did greatly reduce the behavior. I also put a red stop sign on the door because he reads well, and thats what they use at school. It did take a few days. If you send her to school, you may want to look into their classroom management, how compliant she is, and see if you can mimic that at home. That in combo with the suppliments will help.

I would consider adding low dose zinc, especially if you are using ALA. Use 100% pure zinc, no additives. Also, these behaviors sound like a possible yeast issue http://www.danasview.net/yeast.htm Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2003 Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 My son always seems to get destructive when he has yeast issues. Try adding GSE nutribiotic with each dose of chelation. Another great product is monolaurin at www.lauricidin.com, start slow and increase. Both of these products seem to help w/ a # of things and are pretty cheap. I would also try to get her obsessed w/ something safe. My son has a bathroom that he can make a mess of, he loves smearing soap and playing in the water. He also has a big dirt hole in the back yard for digging which he loves. I would take her to target and let her pick something out. I would also check out target for a microwave they had a # of them on end caps for very cheap. nne into the chelation schedule > > > Hi, Machaela is 8 years old and we are chelating we have finished <BR> > round 15..She is doing well with the Chelation..Here is our problem.<BR> > In the past 10 days she had broken our microwave, chattered the top <BR> > of our stove with a hard object, decided to sway a few pictures and <BR> > they fell off the wall and the glass broke.She bangs had on <BR> > everything possible..This is really nothing new but now that she is <BR> > getting bigger it has gotten alot worse.The microwave and stove are <BR> > the big things they are only 2 years old and now somehow we have to <BR> > come up with the finances to replace them.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 hi my son (4 1/2 years old) sounds very similar to your daughter - I joke half heartedly that everything in our house is broken... the couch, the entertainment center, the walls, the sinks, cabinet doors, doors, metal doors, locks to doors, door knobs, mirrors, floors, staircase, fans, lights, tv's, vcr/dvd players, radio, books, you name it. It is broken. we're doing behavioral therapy, its been recommended to get his behavior under control in the house first then " take it on the road " - to in the car or the mall or well anywhere else. its like one-two-three magic but on steroids. there are family rules such as no hitting people or destroying property, is one of the rules under the plan he gets one warning to stop what he is doing (unless its a no tolerance rule, such as hitting people or destroying property - that gets NO warning just time out as he does not need a warning he already knows he cannot do it) at step two he gets a consequence " stop XYZ or you will be put in time out " (yes its one minute per year of age and a timer is great) OR " get your shoes on or I will help you " and its help him hand over hand not do it for him - to make it unpleasant for him to get help and at step three " you did not do XYZ go to time out " then when the timer goes off - see if they are calm and ready to discuss. If not - time out again. When they are calm, they must be able to show that they understand why they were in time out and know what they must do (or not do) before they are allowed to come out. Then they can come out and do what they were expected to do. its working here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
