Guest guest Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 There are essential oils that should be diluted before tasting, and some are better not tasted. Always trust smell/instincts... Personally, I love & crave: waffles w/ real butter & real maple syrup w/ bacon & omlette marzipan good cheesecake like " cheesecake factory " brand, not " father's Table " brand crap. butter-pecan icecream / milkshake chocolate-mint icecream / milkshake chocolate-mint chocolate bar durian raw Romanian overnight-cultured milk blue cheese feta cheese pumpkin pie spinach casserole BBQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Where is this leading? If I let my kids choose what they want to eat by smell, it'd be nothing but junk food. Is there some positive diagnostics behind what you suggest? and what would it tell us? > > > > Take your autistic child to a big health-food store and let him taste every single herb/spice/clay... in the bulk herbs section and report here which herbs he craves. > > Then we can all see if they crave the same things. > > Also, have them smell/taste a tiny bit from each pure essential oil and report which are his favorite. > > > > Also, just from your own experience, what do you know your child craves? > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Lets find out. Positive diagnostics? I do not buy in to that religion. I'll trust my instincts over your diagnostics any day.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 What exactly is the deal with this craving stuff? Herbs/clays have medicinal properties - why would ANYONE do this? 2nd of all, no one is taking their kids with autism out to big any kind of stores - too much overstimulation. > > Take your autistic child to a big health-food store and let him taste every single herb/spice/clay... in the bulk herbs section and report here which herbs he craves. > Then we can all see if they crave the same things. > Also, have them smell/taste a tiny bit from each pure essential oil and report which are his favorite. > > Also, just from your own experience, what do you know your child craves? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Well, if given the chance, before really getting into BioMed, would have chosen NOT to have anything but granola from the bulk herbs section of a health food store, preferably one with chocolate. Next to that, she would have preferred to LICK every single metal object, including the door handles of every vehicle on the way in. lol DO some children intuitively know which ones will benefit them? Sure, some can, but usually there is a craving. Me, I can pick items off of a shelf from a distance, even when all the bottles are marked the same. I have kids that do alternative therapies and 2 mins into a 30 minute session they will say they are done. could tell me when she was needing more sprays when we were doing the PCA -- she said she could feel it on one side of her brain and that side needed more (and she was right, because at a certain dose she would be able to control night time wetting and she knew it). I don't think that there would be any particular herbs that they would be more inclined to, although they are drawn to certain essential oils because they smell good. ensence is not the best smell in the world, to me, but it does increase oxygen to the brain and crosses the blood brain barrier, so I will use it regardless. But, I agree with the other comment that many kids will go pick out a bunch of crap if that is what they like. Mine are more likely to go towards cinnamon and honey sticks, pistachios and macadamia nuts, unsulphured papaya and pineapples and similar things at the bulk isle of Whole Foods, but not the herbs.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 But I'm wondering why it matters if my son loves mint and I love fennel? How does that apply to healing my child?

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 OH, I'd take my son to a big store, but I couldn't get him to try all the herbs, spices and stuff. He just wouldn't be interested unless it was brightly colored, sugar coated and wrapped in celophane. My kid knows better than to randomly eat stuff.
