Feingold legal supplements

[Guest guest]

Hello all. I am chelating my 10 yr son, he has ADHD. We use ALA, 10

mg, 3hr. dosing, 3 on, 4 off (sometimes 11 off). He also takes

supplements according to Andy's protocol. In May, we put him on the

Feingold diet and had a few improvements within 6 weeks. Now 4 months

later, we still have the nail chewing, occasional pinging off the

walls, figeting in chair, rocking side to side, easily distracted.

His diet is 100% FG legal. I think his supplements must be the

culprit. I would like to stop all supplements to see if there are

ingredients that are bothering him and then add them back one at a

time. My question is should I stop all supplements at once, or

gradually? Also if anyone on this list can help with

ingredients,there are a lot. Thanks in advance. Tina

This may not be exactly what youre asking for, but there is a good book out

there called " ALLERGIES and Holostic Healing " by Skye Weintraub, ND. There

may be something in that if you happen to see it at your local health store

Sorry to be so long answering this post but I hope it will still be

helpful. We are doing a similar program without Feingold and I also

have a 10 yo with very mild ASD. We started Andy's protocol in May

slowly adding supplements and then adding ALA in June. It all reached

a critical mass just about the time school started so I just stopped it

all. The next week he was no better, the next some better and then the

next he was the best he has ever been. THEN, some of his previous

symptoms started coming back. I figure it must have taken his system

three weeks to get rid of whatever was bothering him but everyone says

that it should only take a few days for him to react one way or

another. I'm not really sure what to think about it. Anyway, I am

going to try to continue with minimal supplements and see what happens.

Let us know what happens with your son.

My best guess it to keep chelating and eventually he will be less

sensitive. I say this based only on my personally situation so far.

My 4 year old is on 15 mg ALA (Andy's protocol) and even with certain

set backs (there are three of us chelating in the house and we have all

had our own personal symptoms) the net-net so far is positive. My 4

year old who was probably only ADD at the point where I started

chelating, is doing tasks when asked, asking all kinds of questions,

has taken his own training wheels off his bike (still need some more

coordination and attention ride the bike, but wants to), going to the

bathroom on his own, and biggest of them all .... not laying around on

the floor anymore (which used to drive me crazy). Also, school is

going GREAT .... where as two years ago, they couldn't deal with him.

Last year he was in a special school and by the end of the year, he

knew he was in a special school (he did get kicked out for having too

much speech etc. all of a sudden .... I credit Feingold and Andy

Cutler, both in part for this success).

With these mere 7 rounds of chelation, my son HAS become less sensitive

to salicylates (sp). He can eat berries and grapes (occasionally) and

tolerates tomatoes and ketchup again. I can tell when he has too much

by a red nose. I know that certain of his supplements are not Feingold

legal (he was very much helped by the Feingold diet), but he can now

tolerate them much more to a limit. With more and more chelation, I

think that he will tolerate them even better.
