Guest guest Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 I have a 6 year old with AS, some sensory issuea, etc. When he was having trouble keeping his place when reading and writing, and when catching a ball, we took him to a developmental optometrist for an eval. Turned out after an $ eval he has tracking and depth perception problems, etc These are developmental delays and will improve with age but it is hard for them in the classroom in the mean time so we signed up for the $ vision therapy. After 2 weeks my son developed a HORRIBLE eye tic that was so disturbing. I immediately stopped the therapy and the tic stopped in about 6 weeks. Just remember that vision therapy is neurological retraining. They stress the visual system to bring about change but you can stress it to much and cause a tic! The Dr doesn't even do the therapy, a technician does. Since kids on the spectrum can be prone to tics it makes sense to me how it could have happened. There is no negative press on vision therapy, its all glowing so I just wanted to share my experience. We are in the Philadelphia area.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Fight more for OT and PT. He has propriception difficulty. He needs swinging, jumpimg, spinning, joint compression to help stabilize his body. My daughter was very clumsy and her vision and hearing were fine. She had a lot of therapy in the gym and that helped. The gfcf diet plus supplements helped more. > > Hi everyone, > > OMG, since school started in July, we have been busy. has > been doing OK in 1st grade. I like his teacher. Not fond of his > aide.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 OT addresses visual issues without the intense retraining that was descibed. We do activiies all day during selfcare, school, and play that require depth perception and tracking. Keep the activities meaningful and the child will not overload. > > I have a 6 year old with AS, some sensory issuea, etc. When he was > having trouble keeping his place when reading and writing, and when > catching a ball, we took him to a developmental optometrist for an > eval.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 > > I have now been on Bees diet for over a year now and I feel so much better than I have in the past six years. My weight finally normalized after what seemed to be forever. I'm basically at the point where I eat almost no carbs whatsoever. Been kind of away from the group for awhile and was checking in. However I'm still having specific issues that continue to bother me. Every time I squat and then rise my legs get a extreme itchy burning sensation, I still have urinating issues with " The Sudden Urge, " if you know what I mean which I can't seem to shake. Itchy in other places like my ears as well. I've also began to think my Hiatal Hernia has a lot more to do with my problems than I've ever thought. When it's not in place I tend to have barely any bowel movements whatsoever, which I can now tell seems to be a precursor to other pains in my digestive track. I am extremely happy, but it really seems that these pains are never going to end. I don't really stress about them too much, but I do realize that the situation has yet to improve, which makes me wonder if there is something else I should be doing? Thoughts? Basically my diet consists of eggs,meat, ghee, coconut oil, sea salt, and saurkraut. +++Hi there. What is your name please? Just to ensure you understand, all plant foods are carbs, so that includes sauerkraut, so carbs include vegetables, spices, herbs, grains, nuts, seeds, legumes (peas and beans from pods), fruits, etc. In other words any foods that aren't classified as protein or fat. I do have an all Meat & Fat Program, which you should be following if you are only going to consume proteins and fats: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/meat5.php You will have less stool when you aren't eating many plant foods, so the urge to go will be less. You need to take time every day to move your bowels. If they are sticky or slow you probably need more fats as in my all meat and program. Having a hiatal hernia wouldn't affect your bowel movements, but the stress it causes can, since your body will be running on its fight/flight nervous system. In order to switch your body over to running on its more healing nervous system do deep breathing exercises whenever you have the hiatal hernia or are under stress (body or mental): http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/breath4.php Itching and burning sensations are caused by toxins, so they too will get better as you progress. The sudden urge to go will also lessen as you progress. When your cells are strong and healthy, you won't have loose weak muscles and tissues in that area. Of course if you've had any of those issues in the past your body will be retracing them as it heals itself, which takes 1 month for every year - see this article: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/heal10.php I hope that helps.
