Re: adult talking like a 4yo

[Guest guest]

Oh I have been through this so often..it is so painful watching others....

I am just trying to think of some presto/magical way to convince that maybe

it is NOT stress. I keep thinking of magnesium sulphate foot baths. The

British know this as Epsom Salts baths to relieve stress. Epsoms Salts is

very non-obtrusive amd non-threatening and something the average person can

deal with .... Maybe you could have your friend's sister use this technique

for a few days and see what it brings ( small amounts of quarter cup to

larger amounts and slowly). Magnesium is very calming in itself and if it

does calm then you can open the discussion up to mg deficiencies, sulphate

etc. at the least maybe some will see there is a bio-chemical factor.

If, otherwise, you go in cold, you don't stand a chance......Think

creative...

Any if anybody hasn't said it, you are very caring!...

Sally, this does not sound OK at all. I can say that I had a bout

of " lisping " when I had some dental work done and my jaw was

misaligned from the procedure. Once my jaw settled back into place,

the lisping went away. As a speech therapist, I found this rather

amusing and disturbing at the same time!

In regards to this woman, I would be wondering, did she have a mini-

stroke, or does she have a tumor that is along some nerve that

affects speech... I would not attribute this to stress because IF

stress caused this, then I would be saying goo-goo-ga-ga all day

long!!!

Yes, stress has an effect on nutrients in the body, etc., but I just

don't think this sounds like an effect of stress... I would urge her

to seek other answers.

I would suggest you ask your friend casually if they have done a

series of medical testing to rule out inadvertent poisoning. Then

I'd casually mention you saw something on Law and Order or something

like that where a person was lead and merury poisoned from blinds

and a thermometer that broke. I throw in the " OT " stuff about the tv

show and blinds so that you won't look obsessed over mercury like

much of the public thinks we are. You mention how you remembered it

because they did the same testing as your child had, then mention

the hair test and other diagnostic testing. Many people will buy

into a tv show more than our actual experiences for some strange

reason.

Alot of the IOM committee and CDC officials showing a lack

of causation between thimerosal and autism talk like 4 year

olds all the time...

Sorry - I couldn't resist

I started to have speaking problems. They stopped when I eliminated

ALUMINUM from my diet. It is commonly used as an additive to baking

powder, sodium aluminum phoshate, and to pickles as alum. Aluminum is

a neurotoxin. The famous story about it is when Buddy Ebsen (from the

beverly Hillbillees) was going to play the part of the tin man in the

Wizard of Oz and they painted him with aluminum paint, it almost

killed him , the rest is history. IT (the speech problem) IS

definitely not a stess problem.
