We do various therapies and treatments and I am a firm believer in things workign together as a complete package.
We do the CF portion of the diet which helped a great deal healthwise.
The vitamins and supplements- amazing how he improves.
For instance within 3 days of starting th ecod liver oil his eye contact improved by 80%.
Within a few days of starting Carn-aware- his attention span and awareness of things around him improved greatly.
We have done chelation on and off, becuase my son gets the yeast overgrowth in his gut.
A year ago my son wouldn't respond to his name, or follow any commands, he was in his worst health with tourette like tics, severe diaper rash that bled, and so much more.
Today, though still non verbal- he response to some simple commands, responds to his name. Learned to ride his trike, and is learnign to swim.
His eye contact has improved greatly, the tourette like tics are gone, as well as the diaper rash.
Chelation, I can defiantly say has brought about some of the coginative things such as awareness, affection, attention span.
I think here again, it is is one of those treatments- if it fits use it.
Our son defiantly regressed after his 15 month check with shots, and we traced his vaccine records that showed over 250 micrograms of Mercury he had been injected with.
SO for us, it makes sense that he would be getting better since we started getting rid of the Mercury burden in his body.
