Guest guest Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 I am new to this but I think all you need as well as all the info about their supplements is in this site. Each Enzyme is explained thoroughly. There are no maximum does and most are given before meals. I found my answers by reading their FAQ page. http://www.houstonni.com/ I hope it helps but if not, I am sure you'll begin getting responses from more experienced parents.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 We have chelated our sixteen (now seventeen) year old son and seen remarkable gains. I would go for it! We are going to chelate all our children, one at a time was the plan because that is all we can afford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 No, it doesn't hurt as long as you give them all the supportive supps, liver support, and dose low and slow. Barb [ ] Introduce myself I have four boys who have received all the vaccinations. My 14 year old has autism. He was diagnosed at age 4. He was born in 1992 right after they upped the vaccination schedules. AFter years of behavior therapy and very helpful schools, my son is very high functioning, but is still heavily affected. He speaks really well but his conversation is usually about cartoons or videogames. Everyone at school is kind to him but he has no friends. He wants to have friends and girlfriends, he wants to be normal and get married, go to college, etc. He is high functioning enough to know that he is missing out on things. I had his two mercury amalgam fillings removed, and I think I have noticed some improvement from that, but I want to try chelation therapy. I hope he isn't too old. Now I suspect my older son, age 16 (born 1990) has ADD. I always wanted to think of him as " normal. " But he has never done well in school and can't focus. He forgets everything and goes from one thing to the next. His teachers describe him to me as " classic ADD. " This is coming from high school teachers, at this late date, but never from the grade school. His poor grades and lack of motivation have caused many problems in the family. Maybe he can't help it. My 10 year old (1997) appears to be unaffected. My 4 year old (2002) has speech problems and the same rough, alligator skin my son with autism has. He also had chronic ear infections and did lots of rounds of antibiotics and two surguries to insert ear tubes. He definitely does not have autism, and I hope the speech delays are due to the ear problems - but I'm not sure. I'm not sure if he has ADD yet. I would like to chelate all of them, even my son who appears to be okay. It couldn't hurt - could it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 > I would like to chelate all of them, even my son who appears to be > okay. It couldn't hurt - could it? > Getting toxic metals out of the body must be good. The protocol that most people on this board use (Andy's protocol) is the safest way to remove metals. With Andy's protocol metals are removed very slowly with very low doses of chelators. The chelators are dosed at the half life of the drug and that is what keeps a steady movement of metals to be eliminated with a minimal amount of harm (harm is caused by redistribution of metals when blood levels of chelators fluctuate wildly). There are supplements recommended with Andy's protocol. These supplements replace things that poisoned people are often deficient in and use lots of during detoxification. They are supplying the building blocks that the person needs to heal from the damage done by the metals. So, to answer your question, it can't hurt with Andy's protocol applied properly. I am seriously poisoned and using Andy's protocol to chelate myself. I plan to chelate both of my NT kids. The major health problem they have is allergies, frequent infections, stuffy noses, that type of thing. I have studied chelation enough that I know now how to chelate them without hurting them.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 I'm chelating all 4 of my children. Only 1 has an ASD, but the others have different " issues " . Since they all had the same exposures I'm certain that the other 3 are poisoned to some degree as well. I figure it is good to get the poison out of them now instead of risking future problems. Good luck with your decision. Sheresa Sheresa > > I have four boys who have received all the vaccinations. > > My 14 year old has autism. He was diagnosed at age 4.

I chelated all four of my kids with ALA. In my opinion, if you use ALA, it would probably be a good thing. Just watch for yeast overgrowth and mineral deficiency.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Welcome to the list. Consider doing DDI hair elements tests on all of them and applying counting rules. That will help you determine which ones to chelate and which toxic elements to identify and reduce/remove. The FAQs of this list tells more about the hair test. If any of them still have mercury amalgam dental fillings you'll have to have those removed before you can safely chelate. Your 14-y.o. son may be able to relate to a book I read recently by a 14-y.o. from Britain with Asperger's, though the title may not appeal to him. " Freaks, Geeks and Asperger Syndrome: A User Guide to Adolescence " by Luke . If he doesn't want to read it, you may find it useful anyway.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Hi all.. My name is Debi and I was diagnosed in 2001 with RRMS. I was on copaxone (evil) and then off and on vitamin and diet therapy and did great, but stopped because I thought I was cured...HA! This past April, I had a flare up that caused me to be out of work. I started Beta in May and let me just say..I'M NOT HAPPY ON IT, so I stopped taking on Nov 14th. I started taking LDN 2 weeks ago today and so far so good, except the freaky dreams. I look forward to exchanging thoughts and ideas and such with everyone! Thanks Debi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Debi, I also did a hair analysis. I got the report just last week. My calcium is also high. The ratios were high (Calcium) Ca/P (Phosphorus), high (Calcium) Ca/K (Potassium), low (sodium) Na/Mg (Magnesium), high (zinc) Zn/Cu (Copper). I had taken the test because I had heard that low copper could produce MS like symptoms. I am now taking a copper supplement, as well as many others. The report also recommended ones to eliminate, like niacin and vitamin D. The report went on to say that the high Ca/K is an indicator of hypothyroidism, and the low Na/Mg is indicative of low adrenal cortical function. Was your's similar? > > yeah, it is a handful and then some.... I found a doctor in CT that treats people that have MS with vitamins and diet. She too also has MS. I had a hair analysis done and it came back with what vitamins I'm lacking. Such as my calcium level was really high, but my magnesium level was very low. My understanding is that your body doesn't absorbe calcuim unless your magnesium and calcuim is balanced. That was just one of the findings. She tested me on others and decided the dosage of what I should be taking based on her findings. She has a website if you want to check it out.. its www.drgrecomd.com > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Hi ,I'm Mina, mother of 4 children, two of which are HFA. We're your neighbors to the north in MD! I've had some experience with Discovery Toys, and you are right, a lot of them are great for ASD children. My 2 HFA kiddos are (4) and Owen (3). Owen is also hyperlexic. My oldest son is (5.95!), who's basically NT, but he does have some fear/anxiety issues. My youngest is Lila, who's 18 months, and on track for development at this point. and Owen just started school this year...well, actually all three boys started school, as this year is 's kindergarten year. We've had HUGE issues with getting an appropriate IEP because the school decided to refuse to test him last spring for educational need, so since we got our official dx. over the summer, they scrambled to place him SOMEWHERE at the beginning of the year. So, right now he's in a regular 1/2 day pre-K class through the public school system. Not where he needs to be, but we're still waiting on the report for his neurologist, so until we have that it's at least SOMETHING. Owen just started in the 3 year old PREP class (SpEd), and is doing GREAT! He LOVES school, gets excited in the morning about going to wait for the bus, etc., etc. His placement isn't "exactly" what he really needs either (he was placed out of our infants and toddlers program based on need, but before his dx. was made), but because of his "autism make-up", I think he'll do ok in this class, at least for a while. He's super smart, and doesn't have behavioral issues from the autism ( does), so I think he'll do fine until reassessment can be done. He's looking like he'll trend toward actually being in mainstream K with a one-to-one if his speech issues are dealt with (he has a "growling" voice, although he doesn't use it all the time, so I know he is capable of saying things "normally"). Anyway, just wanted to say welcome!Mina Mina SmolinskiMommy to: 9/25/02 - NT 5/13/04 - HFAOwen 7/1/05 - HFA with HyperlexiaLila 3/3/07 - NT On Sep 11, 2008, at 7:14 AM, and/or Robin Lemke wrote:Hi .I'm Robin.Welcome!!!From: Hobson <hobsoncrewverizon (DOT) net>Subject: ( ) Introduce Myself Date: Wednesday, September 10, 2008, 9:40 PMHello all.
