Guest guest Posted December 29, 2002 Report Share Posted December 29, 2002 Hi, I think it is wonderful that you are looking towards alternative and complementary methods to help with your sons' autism. I have to recommendations, I know several young autistic people who have benefited greatly from cranio-sacral therapy. It is a very gentle form of bodywork that manipulates the flow of spinal fluid in subtle yet profound ways. It is intensely relaxing. You can learn more from the Upledger institute My other suggestion is teh check out NAET.com it is an allergy elimination technique that WORKS. I no longer suffer from horrible food allergies. Your son might be allergic to his medication or somethin else. There is a practioners list on the site.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2002 Report Share Posted December 29, 2002 Hello Carol, and welcome!!! I am also fairly new to this group, but based on what you have described, I think I know something that may be of help...it is a compounded herbal tea...my aunt used on her cancer, and was on chemo at the same time, so I don't think there would be a reaction. If you, or anyone else is interested, email me. I would post it, but it is already prepared, all you do is add water, and the physician that came up with it has been under serious pressure from the FDA last I heard because the stuff worked on people with diseases like MS, AIDS, Cancer, and a variety of others. My aunt did die, but not from cancer. I will check to see if there is a website for it...but I know it can be purchased at most Holistic health stores...and you might be able to order it....hope to hear from you soon....
