Guest guest Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 I have just joined this group. Unfortunately, my dinosaur computer does not allow me to open attached files so I couldn't read FAQ. My daughter has no formal diagnosis but receives OT for sensory integration type issues. She is 2 1/4 and is very verbal, social and does pretend play. At times she has autistic behaviors: when she is upset she hits her head with her hand, after she eats certain foods she'll repeat herself for 45 minutes or so. She has incredibly high anxiety and is very fearful of a variety of things. The fearfulness and anxiety seem to be getting worse. Many food allergies and is getting new ones--We have started rotary diet. We have done several lab tests and found out she has high heavy metals (nickel, arsnic near red, tin, silver, mercury). She is still breast feeding and I'm doing a hair test--we think I'm probably the source. I found a doctor in environmental medicine who has lots of experience chelating with Metal-Free (a liquid) He thinks it is the safest option for her age. Anyone have any experience with this or ideas? Thanks. -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
