Re: new her & intro

[Guest guest]

hi! i just got info from the great plains lab on high copper. william shaw phd

has a new article out called " new breakthrough treatment options for autism

spectrum disorder " . he believes to have found a link between autism and wilsons

disease. he offers a amp panel blood test and several treatment options if tests

are positive. to get a copy of the info call tool free 888-347-2781. i feel it

is worth reading and would like to hear others thoughts on the issue.

thanks, angie smith

I am new here and have a few questions. First - an intro.

My name is and my son Jake (just turned 4) was diagnosed with

autism last March. We went to Pfeiffer At the end of May (of this

year)- and the test results came back in the middle of July. He is

extremely high copper (167 copper serum). Our biomedical journey

began in June of 2002 when I started him on HOuston's enzymes. Did

this before anything else. First appt with a DAN doctor was in

Sept. Started Dr. Megson's protocol (went absolutely nowhere!) and

GFCF in October of 2002 (test showed possible celiac - never had him

scoped though). Things didn't really start to improve until I

started SCD in Jan. of this year. I also dropped all of the

standard DAN garden variety supps but kept the enzymes and

probiotics of course, oh and the epsom salt baths. Plus , my son

was still getting cod liver oil - on the days he wouldn't refuse it

(can't force things in them, you know). After 4 months - no more

messy, putrefied fermenty smelling stools!

Then we go to Pfeiffer and find out about the copper in him. So -

my question is - did anyone's kid develop a really mean rash after

the intitial zinc loading? We started him on the MT primer - but

had to stop after my son broke out in a really bad rash - the nurse

said he was probably reacting to the corn in the Vit c and the soy

in the vit e. So she told me to go ahead and zinc load him -

starting at 20mg and then after 2 wks move up to 40mg and then start

the treatment program. Because I didn't call my order into the

pharmacy on time, there was going to be a 2 wk delay before I got

the treatment program nutrients so the nurse told me I could go

ahead and move him up to 50 mg of zinc. I did this and after day 4

he developed and rash. I stopped the zinc a week ago and the rash

has gotten worse. And today he has had the wrost diarrhea - which

he has not had in 4 months!

Has anyone had this experience as well? Does the zinc loading

trigger a yeast flare ? I'm hoping that all of this is maybe a good

sign. I have read that intense itching is a temporary side effect -

why didn't Pfeiffer tell me that? Hmmmm

Thanks in advance for any help
