Feeling Hopeless / Supplements

May 21, 2007

I am trying to prepare my son for chelation by giving him the

recommended supplements. However, everything I give him is making him

nuts! We tried the Supernuthera and within a week he was stimming

uncontrollably and showing a lot of aggression. And this was only at

half the daily dose. I took him off of that and he had a pretty

decent week. I assumed the high b6 could be causing the problems so

the next week we tried Spectrum Complete, again at half the daily

dose. He did ok for a few days and then we started seeing the same

behaviors again. I took him off of that and gave him another week to

calm down before I started Vitamin C, flax seed oil and magnesium. I

figured most people do well on C and magnesium is supposed to be

calming so it was a good place to start over. He seemed to be worse

on these three than before. Now he is off of those. The only things

he is currently taking is his probio gold and melatonin which he has

done fine on for a couple of years. He has regressed so much in the

past couple of months from the supplements that I am feeling so

hopeless. I just don't see how I can ever begin chelation when I

can't get any of these supplements in him.

He is almost nine and I'm afraid to wait any longer. I chelated when

he was 5 for about two months and I saw great progress.

(Unfortunately it was all too much for his father and he took off,

leaving me and three children.) I am just now in a position to try

chelation again and it is so frustrating that he won't tolerate the

supplements this time. I didn't notice this behavior when he was

taking them before but he is much older and stronger now. His

tantrums can be extremely difficult to control. While he was on these

supplements, the school was calling me almost daily. I haven't seen

this level of " autism " in my son in over a year.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I don't know what to do at

this point. Thanks for listening to me vent. I never post but I've

been reading this list for four years and all of you guys have been a

great source of support.
