Re: Cure-Hand Flapping/Toe Walking

[Guest guest]

I cured both hand flapping and toe walking in my 1 1/2 year old (now

2) with EDTA chelation for copper toxicity over a three month period.

This also eliminated hand posturing and hair pulling (his own). I

used the same medicine on my older son (now 3) with no success.

Unlike his younger brother, he did not show copper toxicity,

therefore, the medicine did not work on him.

Good luck.

For my son, hand flapping was caused by viruses, B vitamin deficiency,

and a few other things. I wrote about it here

Toe walking can be a sign of constipation

For my son, the hand flapping stopped within days of removing milk from his

diet. This was back when my wife was still skeptical of the biomed approach. We

tried reintroducing milk and he started flapping again the next day. Needless

to say she got on board in a hurry.

We are still working on the toe walking.

First of all you have to determine if its a behaviour related issue,

diet related one or a physical condition.

In my daughter's case, after a lot of experiments with diet,

supplements and OT approaches we finally agreed that it is purely a

behaviour. Her PT evaluator then suggested that we get her hiking

boots from Timberland and make her wear it throughout the day except

maybe nap time.

We got it ... and my daughter wore it all the time except when she

slept. Its 6 months now and we started giving her small breaks and

she DOES NOT toe wal any more !!! It also fixed her tippy toe kinda

walk that was making her toes turn in-wards! ...

Its worth a try ... here is the URL ...

Thank you for posting this. For my kids, improper zinc/copper ratio

usually causes teeth grinding. This happens whether they are high

zinc or high copper. I had given my son zinc for several years, but

was able to remove it about a year ago when it started causing the

teeth grinding instead of removing the problem. He was then fully

zinc loaded.

I had added it back a few weeks ago, just a small sprinkle every day,

like maybe 5mg or less, for immune system issues. He started with the

hand posturing about a week or so ago. He had never done that before,

and he was not grinding his teeth, so I was in the middle of

experimenting with what it might be. But after your message, I

dropped the sprinkle of zinc and instead, for one day, gave him a

sprinkle of copper. Then I removed both. Problem solved.

Thanks!

I used OralChelatoRx. I put 1/2 a capsule in Colby's fruit babyfood

every morning on the advice of my doctor.

Dana,

That's interesting. Now you've got ME wondering if the reason for my

two sons' teeth grinding is their daily dose of zinc. I've been

giving them high doses of magnesium (as directed by my DAN! doctor)

and now they've got the runs...Maybe I should just lower the amount of

zinc that I'm giving them.

Where do you find Oralchelatorx? Is that a prescription?

Lower or remove it, see if that helps.
