Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 hi, I have a 12 year old autistic son. we are in the process of detoxifying him for heavy metals. He is having a lot of aggression, self injurious, destructive behaviors and tantrums. His doctor says this is a sign of the metals mobilizing and to ride it out. It's been going on for a month, he's going to get kicked out of his class at school and I'm at my wit's end. Does anyone know of anything I can give him to help calm him? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Ask your doctor to slow down the treatment or adapt it. What your son is going through sounds like a healing crisis, and even though some holistic practitioners expect them, they do not need to happen. If this was happening to a child in my practice I would adapt his/her treatment so that the "crisis" was not as intense. Try giving him some chamomile and oatstraw tea to calm the irritation and make sure he si gettign at least 2000mg of Vitamin C and 400 of Vitamin E a day (antioxidents and anti-inflammatories).

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Borage oil, (referred to as the " happy oil " ) there is another oil that begins with a k and I can't for the life of me remember the name of it, it helps as well. fft P.S. I experienced negative mood swings myself and talked to others that did also, when I was doing a heavy metal cleanse. Try to remember...and this too shall pass. Is he on something to bind the metals as they expell? Like bentonite? herbal remedies , Lake260@a... wrote: > > hi, I have a 12 year old autistic son. we are in the process of detoxifying > him for heavy metals.
