Guest guest Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Dosing DMSA twice a day is a bad idea. It needs to be dosed every 4 hours day and night based on the half-life of DMSA.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Well It's got Rhodiola rosea and phosphatidylserine.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 This supplement really seems geared for treating adrenal fatigue. rhodiola is used for adrenal fatigue. It's an adaptogen. Usually when one's adrenals are low, they have problems with stress and mood. Phosphatidylserine also helps with that. Taurine is calming, helps liver, helps brain. I think I paid $7 for a bottle of taurine powder. My daughter takes the rhodiola for her adrenals, works good, doesn't cost much. If you didn't see much...no point in paying $116 for this. Cause for $116 my kid should be all fixed! > > Well It's got Rhodiola rosea and phosphatidylserine. From my understanding, it helps to reduce stress and help with brain function.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 My daughter takes other supplements so I cannot tell if any changes are attributed to calm prt. She still does have some yeast issues - stimming, gigling and crying for no reason sometimes. I'm trying to get those under control - will start her on GSE and Biotin. But other than that no. Either I have to keep on using it or I may have to purchase the ingredients seperately and see what happens. The most important thing for me right now is that she learns to communicate she's still stuck on one and two words. So whatever supplements can help, I am interested in.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 I use a DAN Dr that takes my children's insurance. If yours doesn't, find one who does. There is alot of debate on here as to if you should use a DAN Dr, Dr at all, or if you should do it yourself. Alot of people on here have replied to you that you should take the do it yourelf approach, so I'm going to put in my opinion on that too. After 3 years of trying to do it alone, researching the on the net, talking to other moms, trying to figure out symtoms, what suppliments and chelation dosages to give, trying to guess what foods she couldn't tolerate, & what stim or symptom was caused by what.I came to the conclusion that all that, along with the stress & worry of if I was messing her up worse wasn't worth it. It's a full time job having a child like ours as it is, without trying to be a doctor 24/7. I realized that it was costing too much of my time, which was worth thousands of dollars a year in the working world, not to mention what it was costing in time away from my family. For us using a DAN Dr was the best thing I could have EVER done for our child. Our Dr works with us. He takes our insurance which he gets to cover most all of the test she needs. And he doesn't force expensive unneeded tests, or tell us what to do and charge a arm and a leg for it. He's open to my opinion and understands that all we can afford right now is all we can afford. So we work together to keep the costs down as much as possible. If your doctor isn't like ours then you need to find another doctor. Keep looking untill you do. Look on Generation rescue for one. Talk to other parents on there. If you have to drive to another state to get there, then do it. Most doctors will do email & phone for free or a small fee after they've seen your child. As far as paying for what your child needs if you don't have insurance, brainstorm ideas to make money for it. We've found money from the goverment, as well as private companies who help special needs kids. Other parents I know have done fundraisers, had yard sales and sold things on the internet. Right now you could call the autism society in your area & ask if they know of any services that might help you. We use a service called family support here in Tennessee. They help with funds for our diet and tests. It's not alot but every little bit helps. You can do it. Just keep looking for ways & people who can help you. You'll find you can get what you need for your child without doing it all yourself. I hope this is helpful to you. Remember too that recovery is most times a long road, but you'll get your child doing better by every step you take.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 I think this is a very individual thing. In our area there is one DAN doc. We have never considered taking our son to him. He does not take insurance, is very expensive, and we have been having good results on our own. At 13 we continue to take our son to his pediatrician who does not do alternative medicine of any kind but is supportive and respects our family's efforts.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Can you tolerate any calcium yet ? What about blueberry and spinach smoothies, with banana to thicken? That might help. You should be getting a lot of magnesium, are you getting enough? Epsom salt baths, etc. I'm sorry you are getting worse, I can tell you from my son's experience that it gets worse before it gets better. It has to come out. Maybe slow down a bit, but keep your spirits high.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Hi, , I don't know your religious affiliations, but my ND found that with some people, all treatments reached a standstill and she found that there was a spiritual/emotional component that needed resolution. She wrote a great workbook that covers many, many issues which may or may not pertain to you. For the cost of $2.00, it is well worth the look and download - you can read some of it for free online: http://www.scribd.com/doc/18777167/Spiritual-Disciplines-for-Physical-and-Emotio\ nal-Healing We (with my daughter) addressed the gut issues first with the help of a Naturopath. It is sometimes very difficult to find what is going on... you can email your diet and supplements and I am sure everyone will try their best to give you suggestions. I would also try giving the Nutritional Consultant, Ted, at Quantum Nutrition a call. His consults are free and he is very good. He may recommend that you find a QRA practitioner, which is a health professional (some are MDs, NDs, homeopaths, etc.) that will look at the emotional, nutritional, physical and bioenergetics of your body and treat the whole body rather than just the symptoms. It is well worth the call. http://www.qncenter.com I hope that may help you in some way.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 One extremely critical component to manage inflammatory response and the immune system is to have the correct levels of Vitamin D3, the activated version, and be sure the cells are absorbing it. Most doctors test for the wrong thing. You need to test for the 25 OH(D) levels in the body and shoot for a level around 70 (check me on that by reading up on the latest). We evolved on the sun and most of us are deficient despite what standard doctors might tell you. Go to the Vitamin D Council website for more info and good luck. > > > What do you do after you've been seeing a DAN! a while,the autism is almost gone,and you or your child still have severe GI,or autoimmune problems that aren't going away ? > > > > > > Try to identify specifically what are the problems.
