Re: Progress report: 30+ rounds

[Guest guest]

Wonderful to hear about your son's progress! We are just beginning chelation

with my 14 yr old. DMSA+ALA every other weekend. I had to respond also because

you'd mentioned your son's inability to catch a ball. We too " suffered " with

this for a while until I made the catching gesture and my then 3 yr old son said

" Oh, you mean " squeeze " the ball " . The whole time we'd been " Lost in

Translation " .....good luck...sometimes it's all in the perception.

Thanks for allowing me to travel memory lane a bit.

Hi,

Here is a short update on my son, 32 month old after 32 rounds (12

rounds of DMSA only and 20 of DMSA+ALA. He is still improving

consistently. We still chelate every week end with DMSA (8mg) + ALA

(8 mg).

His language is really coming. He now has more spontaneous speech

like " Look Mommy,... " and showing me something and started asking

questions " What is it? " " Where is it? " . He also talks about his day

and even about the previous day. " I did [this] yesterday " . Sometimes

it really feels like conversation. It is so nice to hear. The

descriptive language is gone. He used to only speak to describe what

he sees. " The blue book is on the table. " He still rarely talks

spontaneously about his needs (hungry, tired...). I always have to

ask him.

He still walks on his toes :-( but not as often as he used to, maybe

20% of the time. He runs on his toes 100% :-(

He now jumps :-)

He still cannot catch a ball.

His prentend play has improved, but he still has way to go. He can

play 15 min by himself appropriately. He now enjoys playing with

puffed animals, babys and is a little bit creative.

He still gets yeast.

He still has food sensitivities, phenols especially but I think it is

getting better.

He is still 23-24 pounds. He has not gained any weight in the past 18

months.

I think that's it!

Epsom baths might be helpful to jumpstart the sulphur pathway to gain some

some weight.On sulphur stories list owens noted that alot of the kids

were lacking sulphur when they weren't gaining weight.

Thank you .

You are right, he has sulfur issues. His plasma sulfate was very high

in great smokies detox panel test. It seems that he does not use it!

He gets epsom baths every night before going to bed. I also feed him

a lot of sulfury food. Andy wrote me once that since he does not use

sulfate correctly he needs to get as much as possible.

Thanks,

Digestive enzymes may help with weight gain.
