Guest guest Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 Okay, that does it, you've convinced me to get off the proverbial pot. It's time to mix it up and use something besides the GSE. That's excellent news for you and your family. I'm so excited for you. You're pretty on key with your child, it'd take me a good week, maybe as I was taking the sweater in for dry cleaning to realize he'd had no sensory reaction to it. 's book is fantastic, and the group is great, but you're part of that group, and I thank you for telling us about this. happy update Really I should hold off reporting about this but I'm just too excited about it. The short history: at 15 mo he was given a battery of vaxes while he was still recovering from an ear infection and on antibiotics. The infection failed to clear up and he was put on 6 rounds of antibiotics with very little break (and I was ignorant about probiotics)[and so much else ]. So ever since he has been grouchy, angry, full of sensory problems (mostly tactile), aggressive, raging, uncooperative, his thinking sometimes quite muddled, next to no social skill development, anxious, unable to play by himself and needed an adult to entertain him. Feingold diet helped a bit. Houston's enzymes helped a LOT -- for the first time we saw a sweet, curious kid! But since introducing enzymes nearly 8 months ago, it's been very up and down with the good days gradually diminishing and the rage getting worse. The parenting advice in Ross Greene's " Explosive Child " helped quite a bit, and yeast treatments, and SCD. But finally I'm doing all of it at the same time and not stopping the yeast treatment but rotating GSE, O of O, uva ursi, Candex, OLE, Lauricidin -- and sometimes overlapping them. Diet is strict SCD including the goat yogurt. And OMG, the last 3 weeks have been *wonderful for n, better than anything ever before...he is playing happily and kindly with his little sister, he is thinking up his own projects and doing them without help, he is cooperating with everyday chores, he is -- dare I say it? -- actually HAPPY! He problem-solves! He has virtually *no tactile defensivess (yesterday I had on a " hairy sweater " that normally he would demand I take off before he would come in the same room with me -- instead, he's hugging me with no notice of it at all). He is getting dressed in the morning with no prodding! (Was a major horrid struggle). He is *smiling! I can leave him and his sister playing and go in the next room without risking her getting hurt! He apologizes! (Never ever done that before.) Everyone else in the family can now breathe... I'm not saying I'm sure this is permanent, but I'll take a good 3 weeks. I owe so much to for writing Enzymes and Autism which got me started on the right path, and to the members of this group for being so smart and helpful. Amazing to see that underneath the snarling tornado there is a boy who actually has a few manners. Wow. Nell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 Hi Nell et al, This is a very timely post for me. If you don't mind my asking, did you give your child the GSE, Oil of oregano, etc. instead of trad anti-fungals? Our DAN doctor has prescribed lamisil and flagyl and I'm wondering if I should try them first or forgo them altogether? Also, could you clarify what OLE is? Thanks, Kate (new to list) > Okay, that does it, you've convinced me to get off the proverbial pot. It's time to mix it up and use something besides the GSE.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 This is fabulous news! Thanks for sharing. Nice job!!! Question, I noticed this... >I had to learn to go very slow with them, 1 drop 2X day or else n gets a histamine reaction I tried to give Grapefruit Seed Extract to my daughter (just 2 drops in a glass of juice) and she developed a HUGE hive on her lip that itched intensely. A great big wheel. She hasn't had one in a very long time... is that what you mean? Is that from yeast? I thought it meant she was allergic to the grapefruit. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 Nell, What fantastic news! Congratulations. A happy, polite, interacting child minus anger/rages - What a great result.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Wonderful! Barb [ ] happy update hi weve been chelating low doses of ala and dmsa for kai probably averaging once a fortnight, since xmas, ive seen some improvements overall but not many. BUT i went to parents meeting on friday, and they didnt half make me smile. Kai is doing very well, at Key stage 2, he has straight c's in english, straight a's in maths and science, as and bs in history and geography and she said that he will be going for sats in year 6, bearing in mind kai is in a special school for children with autism, they are absolutely delighted, also they then mentioned we dont know quite whats going on with kai, but over the last 4 months we have seen real surges of improvment!!! and that if he kept up like this we were looking at an intergrated resource and possibly gcse's at high school. I quietly smiled to myself - as they dont know that i began chelating since just after xmas. also his physiotherapist saw him 2 weeks ago, she hasnt seen him since before xmas and she was stunned at the improvements hed made, she said she couldnt understand why and how hed managed to improve so much. just thought id share, emma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
