Screaming, crying, insomnia, hitting, destructiveness.. But after his bath the next day he was fine, and is fine as long as we're consistant about it. Same happened after starting SNT, but has since stopped and he's taking it just fine every morning. I don't know why, I thought I'd pass on my little bit of knowledge..

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2001 Report Share Posted September 4, 2001 I am asking for help on behalf of someone else who wrote that her son had a bad reaction to Super Nu Thera, and epsom salt baths. He became hyper, out of control, etc. She suspects phenols. I didn't think SNT was phenolic and don't know about the baths. I know some kids do have a reaction to the epsom salt baths but does anyone know why??? Is it a sulfur thing? or a magnesium thing? Any advice to pass along? Quit the baths, supplement with something? Thank you, . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's one of those sulfate/sulfite things that n or some one with more technical knowledge on the subject than me can answer better. I would say that if you see a strong reaction, that's grounds to continue the baths. It means that toxins are coming out of the child. Use two cups of Epsom Salts in a bath that is as hot as is appropriate for the child for about 30 minutes. Try to make the child sweat. That's the key.
