Those would be viral symptoms at my house. What worked best was Virastop. It has to be given 3-4 times a day on an empty stomach. You want to start with 1 capsule 4X/day or even 1/2 cap. It makes yeast worse (doesn't everything? lol). The pattern, which was about 3-4 days long, was worsening, then improvement, then fading improvement, at which point I increased the dosage. I kept increasing until the improvement did not fade, I think around 24 caps/day, and held there for around a month before decreasing back down. At one point I ran out of Virastop (he was part of a study) and he got incredibly, uncontrollably hyper, was repeating the same phrases over and over and was doing stuff like stepping in the same spot on the floor over and over. He went from a high- functioning kid whose main issues were rage/mood to a very autistic unreachable kid. Viruses are nasty! Besides all those symptoms going away within a day of resuming Virastop, he had big improvements both cognitively and socially. Antiviral treatment was really important for him.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Hi, Thanks, Nell. My son gets belly aches with Virastop. I might try it again, though, just to see. It's not like I can ruin his eating or anything. I will try to give im Lauricidin again. I stopped giving it to him because it seemed he regressed on it after a while. I started giving him Vit C (and Lysine) the other day; he doesn't usually tolerate it, but he is at the moment. He is on alot for yeast at the moment, will watch for more. Thanks again. paula > > > > Hi all, I posted awhile back that my son,7, was a mess with > > hyperactivity, hair twirling, letter reversals, and hitting, tapping, > > jumping, etc, twice on everything, constantly. > > Those would be viral symptoms at my house.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Thanks, Dana. I started out giving ALOT for yeast and it seemed the tics got worse. I backed off a litle, but still continue, Amphotericin, biotin, and GSE. Not touching those symptoms I listed below. I will up it slowly to see if it does help. I started Lysine and Vit C the other day also. Thanks, again. a > > Hi all, I posted awhile back that my son,7, was a mess with > > hyperactivity, hair twirling, letter reversals, and hitting, tapping, > > jumping, etc, twice on everything, constantly. > > > Just a few days ago, I noticed that he was chomping his teeth twice, > > He also said that he has had constant drumming twice in is head.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 ----- Original Message ----- From: panderson14me Just a few days ago, I noticed that he was chomping his teeth twice, alot. He told me that it started when the tapping, hitting, pounding things went away. He said it gets in the way of chewing and that's why he's not eating much. He talked about it for some time tonight. He also said that he has had constant drumming twice in is head. He said it's like music, but there's no song. He said it stops him from thinking right. ====>Very OCD sounding, has he had a cold recently or have you had his strep titers checked? I would, very OCD. Isn't it Inositol that helps with OCD symptoms? All of this has been going on for 6-8 weeks, I think. I could check the date on my last post if need be. I started ALA rounds last week again, number 9. Low and slow. Has anyone delt with Tourette type tics, chelation and recovery? Would this be something that NAET could take care of? The reason I ask is beause we did NAET/Bioset for some time and when they tested for whatever disease the HEP B is for, sorry memory lapse, he had a horrible day of green diarrhea and big improvements with it. I'm not sure why I remembered it, we've had huge improvements with alot of things. Can you all give me ideas as to what would help ease this for him?

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 My nephew was diagnosed w/Tourettes Plus at age 9. He had severe ticking. He's lost the tics, OCD and the diagnosis and is now in honors classes in HS. Aside from addressing metals and yeast, my sister treated an ongoing strep infection. It's common but doesn't always show up on throat culture tests or present w/any other typical strep symptoms (like soar throat or fever). Docs don't always know to test for it. Test for strep with DNA SB titer, NOT an ASO titer - not as accurate. My nephew's DNA SB was off the chart - literally. Normal range was <170 and his was 900 something. I did the same for my youngest who had PANDAS & ADHD symptoms and his DNA SB was in the 800 range. Both were treated for systemic strep w/Zythromax and retested using the DNA SB. When that was normal, they were kept on a profilactic dose of antibiotics for about 6 months - the idea was to prevent brain swelling and tics and OCD were an indication of that. Antibiotics were used as soon as tics/OCD symptoms appeared - that was their sign of a strep infection - and those symptoms for both would disappear w/antibiotics. We confirmed it was Strep everytime (when tics/OCD appeared) through another DNA SB test. Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Hi Jackie, Wow! Congratulations to your nephew!...and his parents! Thank you for the info. I'm going call the dr Mon to ask for DNA SB strep titer and not an ASO titer. Did a ped do this? Thanks, again. I really appreciate ti! a > > My nephew was diagnosed w/Tourettes Plus at age 9.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Things are not perfect w/my nephew and son - there are still residual issues but yeah - no ticking or OCD thoughts. Our family doc ordered the test w/some coaching. He (like other docs I've come across) had never heard of the DNA SB blood test for strep.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Hi, Can I ask you what are the symptoms of Strep? My son is always stimming and hyper. He also runs back and forth touching the same objects which I believe is a sign of OCD right? Hair twirling and moaning all the time. We are chelating him. Can chelation address Strep or does it have to be treated seperately? Thank you.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Actually just read that Barberines (golden seal, oregon grape, goldthread and barberry) were equal in strength and efficacy of antibiotics in treating strep. I do know it will knock out a cold in nothing flat. [ ] Re: Teeth chomping tic / Dana and all > Thanks, well he had a sore throat and a slight fever back in Oct when > this started.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 That's interesting. I give my son Goldenseal every day. I do give it a break every so often, that and antifungals, etc. I cannot give him an antifungal without it or he gets so frustrated he blows and he has a rash that flares. Maybe I should try giving higher doses of it alone. Thanks, a > > Thanks, well he had a sore throat and a slight fever back in Oct when > > this started.
