Zoloft - Update

[Guest guest]

This is part of a letter I just sent to our Pediatrician to update him on the

effects of Zoloft and enzymes together - not that he thinks much of the Enzymes

(very old school) but ok with other stuff.

Brief background for those that don't know us:

is 10years verbal, very delayed, very social - Autistic, Todd is 6

years very very delayed non verbal, but happy and lovely. We have had enormous

stomach problems (surgery etc.) Todd still has a gastostomy from tube feeding -

long history of acute/cronic pain intolerance's to food in general - but with

all the biological intervention we are getting there slowly.

I have chelated, used enzymes, diet interventions, supplements (they do not

tolerate most of them) recently culterelle was not tolerated but I will work on

this, I want to do monolaurin and will in the future as I am looking down that

direction because Todd WAS NOT vaccinated at all, and only had 2 lots,

but still he dumped heaps of mercury when I chelated.

I have now read 's book and I am happy to follow her lead as they seem so

tolerant of the Zoloft with the enzymes (only Zyme at this stage) so update as

follows:

is sleeping until 7.00am most mornings (unless he eats something

challenging to his system) which is just amazing he is happy the terrible

crankiness has gone, he is easier to guide ie: when I say no not much of a

problem, I haven't told school he is on Zoloft but his daily reports are

improving - yesterday he worked hard on his math's and reading for 25 mins and

increasingly does not need monitoring - will work on his own. No side effects

at all and is eating really well - seems like hopefully a long good patch ahead

of us.

Mitch is on 1/8 - of the 50mg Tablet Zoloft, enzymes - Zyme Prime, magnesium.,

selenium

Todd a little different but - really good - sleeping better, eating is good with

lots of help by me but manageable - getting it in - his reports from school is

that he is more independent and following instructions well ie: organising his

unpacking of his bag and generally understanding simple instructions. I find

him at home a lot more determined and bulshy - but I think this is a really good

thing he is acting like a 2 year old (apart from not talking) this is something

he hasn't done before - also has really learnt the enjoyment of riding in his

car, and being naughty - by taking things and running away laughing - generally

having me on. But when I do puzzles and matching games etc. he sits well and

seems focused and finishes everything I want him to do. I take him horse riding

once a week and he has gone from hating it to laughing and climbing on the horse

he is so keen. But I have to say not tolerant of the helmet -could n't handle

the strap under the chin bit.

Todd is on same as .
