Enzymes working again!!!!

[Guest guest]

To recap: My ds started having monster reactions to casein (and

probably everything else) a week ago while taking enzymes. After

posting on the list, we figured out it was the Metal-free chelator I

was giving him, causing metal (mercury???) to deactivate the

enzymes. I've stopped the metal-free, and we had some *very* scarey

days. One day, he had slipped from Aspergers to full blown autism

(didn't want to be around any people at all, and seemed like he

didn't even understand what people were saying).

helped me out with this quite a bit off list (she's a

saint!!!), and the only thing that makes sense is that the metal was

binding to the enzymes and deactivating them. Apparently, that rogue

metal has moved on (*hopefully* out of the body, but who knows?!) and

the enzymes appear to be working fine now. (I know this sounds like

Tom may have just not tolerated the Metal-free, but it was very

apparent he was having reations to *food*).

Tom is not quite back to the level he was before all this happened,

but apparently, the " happy child effect " is working again, and Tom

has improved 100% from just 2 days ago. It was the prayers of the

faithful that brought us through the scariest time of my life. My

heart goes out to all of you who watched your toddlers slip into

autism (Tom's was much more subtle and I was clueless). I felt like

I was watching the same type thing this week with Tom (and he's

7yo). I pray we all get our children back completely.

Question to all you chelators: When using DMSA or ala, have any of

you seen the enzymes apparently not working for a time? I'm more

convinced than ever that mercury and other metals are a big problem

for Tom, but am freaked out by the metal-free. We have an appt. with

Dr. Amy in 3 mo.s, and I'd love to have started DMSA only before

then. Any experience with how this works with enzymes would be most

appreciated. Thanks.

God Bless, and Happy New Year,

Sally
