thanks, I have been giving him 1500mg Vit C and 400 Vit E daily for two years. I'll up the C, I also gave him more magnesium citrate, calcium citrate and Theanine. Seems to help a little. Can I ask what you mean by the term "healing crisis?" Thanks

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).

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
