ART can identify the connection between an individual childs autism and specific vaccines. For example, muscle testing indicators of the illness may "resonate" with the Hepatitis B vaccine, which means there is a strong "yes" from the test muscle that the autism is connected to that particular vaccine.

There is often a multiple vaccine connection.

Dr Klinghardt notes, supporting the data that indicate that there is a synergetic effect between the vaccines. "The more vaccines, the more chance of developing Autism", he states.

Like the heavy metals, the vaccine viruses impair various biochemical systems, including the enzyme system. "On the most superficial level, people develop a deep disturbance in their fatty acid metabolism. "We know that for sure", says Dr. K.

Vaccines also change the bowel flora in favor of pathogenic microorganisms. The situation in the bowel sets the child up for allergies, excema, and asthma.

He also says that in his experience the MMR is the most common culprit, but the hepatitis B and the pertussis vaccines have been instrumental in a number of cases as well.

Vaccine reaction....ill effects came up for Talitha. She is the one who was edging towards sensitivty to pretty much everything. Again according to ASYRA and all the phenols that came up with her.

Seth had most of the vaccines come up with his first ASYRA which we did get cleared. I'm sure Micah has been affected as well, although we stopped him after 3 yrs so he didn't get the 2nd MMR. I've got to get the RCW codes together and get the exemption paperwork filled out for all of us still. Wanted to take it in for notary and Mitch will be home around Christmas and New Years (not sure which days yet) so we wanted to take care of it then.

Donna...there is a way to become a patient. If you fly to Seattle to see her you will then be considered a patient and will be included in the scheduling for her visits to the Bay Area. Thats pretty much the only way to get in to see her at this point.

Great idea! You could stay with us (if you can live without TV) and I'd chauffer you too. :) If you came up here you could get a baseline to work with and continue treatments down there too. Dr. E is also very good with ART. She's an instructor and a person that Scott calls when he needs help with something.

So is Kassandra driving home tonight?

(Just ignore me...I'm being overexcitedly anxious... anxiousity :lol:

She and mom were going home tonight as far as I remember her saying.

Eeecckkkk. Look at the time.....I haven't even figured out what to make for dinner yet and Mitch is taking a nap so he's no help. <_<

Dear Carla,

Maybe I have parasites, too! That might be why I am so pasty. I know if you have Candida, you probably have parasites as well. There is a scary thought. I doubt I have a worm, considering I am not stick-thin.

Dear Sherry,

Those buckwheat noodles sound great! Let us know how the dumplings and other noodles come out if your cook makes them! In Japan, they call them soba noodles. Culinary experiments are always fun. Speaking of, I may try to make truffles using coconut milk or cream. I am still at a loss as to what margarine would have no casein, gluten, or soy.

Jin, I am sure I saw pieces of tapeworm after the pineapple diet I did, and I am not stick-thin at all.

The buckwheat "jiodz) were great! The consistency of the skin was firmer, and more like a whole wheat flavor. She just made them with water, buckwheat flour and a little xanthan gum.

Sherry,

I'm thinking there is something thats being overlooked in your treatment. 7 years is a really LONG time to be on antibiotics. You've also been chelating for several years and still having metals showing up in your tests. Something is holding you back. There are so many things that could be getting in the way but in my opinion as long as your body holds onto those metals you will not be able to get vrid of the Lyme and other infections.

I would probably concentrate on figuring out why you're not getting those metals out. Its very difficult to determine all the factors involved or where there might be disturbances. I think Andrea said you will be in Washington at some point?? If thats true I would try to get in to see Dr. Amy (she is awesome and was trained by Klinghardt). If you can see her and have her do ART I'm sure you might find out some things that you havent been aware of.

She can also test which treatments will work best for you. It might be that what you're doing is not what your body needs right now.

I would try something like that if at all possible.

I think your continuing problems have alot to do with still being very toxic despite your treatments.

You could also see Dr. Elizabeth if Amy is too booked up. She does have a waiting list for new patients I believe. Dr. E can also run all the tests and do some LED's.

Yes I think you are right. I was hoping that the missing link was the celiac. Maybe it is part of it, but definitely there is still something not working right.

If Amy has a waiting list, that doesn't sound very hopeful for me, since I only have the 2 month window of time.

The other big concern for me is financial. I'd appreciate some ideas of what to do that would be the least out of pocket expense. The thing is, I'll have to purchase any supplements in at least 3-4 month chunks. Usually I do the whole year's supply, but next summer I'll have a chance to have some things carried to me.

Also I really want to coordinate with my LLMD.

Do you think there would be any chance of a session with Amy or Elizabeth January 16-18? If so I could do a session before I see my LLMD, and then try to put together a plan for my time at home.

Is there a way to contact them via email as I can't easily call?

Thanks for your input.

Julie,

I sure hope you can get relief, this last episode sounds really dangerous.

This back problem now reminds me of a month of pain I had a couple of years ago, that started with a period and lasted the next several weeks. I went in for gyn checks and nothing was wrong. Eventually it stopped.

But I think it is related to the lyme, mercury, and whatever else is happening.

mftnchn Explorer

I am really looking forward to Kassandra's update, especially her mom's response to this doctor's diagnosis and treatment plan.

Kristina, I agree with the others here, and also want to say that I am totally respectful of you as you ponder and make your own choices of what is best for you. Can you handle legumes at all?

Carla, is the parsley an extract? I suppose I wouldn't get the same benefit eating Chinese parsley. Maybe I could whirl it in the blender with something else.

I looked up burbur, and couldn't find any Chinese references to it, so it looks to not be available here.

Yes, it's an extract.

Check Nutramedix.com .... they sell them, but it may give you more of an idea of what they are and how to substitute something you can get over there.

If I were in China and in your position as far as abx, etc., I'd be looking into Chinese medicine!

I'll call for you and have them email what you would need.

I have your email now since it's on Carla's list. :)

Dr Elizabeth has email too, which is how I communicate with her as she's not easy to get on the phone.

It is really hard to find a good practitioner, and I haven't found anyone who as even heard of lyme. I have tried it for awhile, but haven't had much response.

Andrea, that would be great. Thanks.

That's too bad. They know so much more about some of this stuff than Western Medicine ....

I am super happy for our little Kass!!! Exciting news, and I can't wait to hear how everything went. I am also wanting to hear how her mom did with all of this and her thoughts post LLMD appt.

Julie,

Have you always been in Colorado?

Well for the most part yes, from the time I was about 6 months old. The MMR definitely pushed things over the edge from whatever I had going before that point. I have never been the same since.

Rachel, thanks for weighing in as well.

It's been 5 almost 6 years since I did all the bioscan, muscle testing, chelation, etc., etc. so I can't remember everything that was covered. I can say with certainty whatever came up in my scans and whatever presented itself was addressed, but what specifically (i.e. MMR) I can't remember. Back then I never gave the MMR a second thought, it wasn't until all the recent media attention of vaccinations, specifically the MMR and autism connection that I started to put two and two together.

Andrea had passed on that info from Anna a while back, I so appreciate you asking- that was very thoughtful of you. I made a mental note of it and it's something I think about from time to time.

I am actually waiting to have some new test run in January that will tell me if I am TH1 or TH2, and then we will treat accordingly. It is very important to know which side of the immune system is dominant because some things that you would take to treat one side could be detrimental to the other side. It's all very interesting stuff.

As always, thanks for all the info, all of this definitely I need to give a lot of thought to and consider investigating more.

Sherry, your buckwheat noodles sound yummy btw :)

Thanks for your thoughts, angioedema is one thing I could live with out. That is the problem with it besides the pain and discomfort is that there is always the threat of it showing up in the throat, or near the throat, and blocking the airway.

I hope you find some answers as well.

I don't have any suggestions for finances, other than asking if the drs/practitioners would offer to work with you on costs and payments. Some of my people have been great and have offered discounts as well as payment plans.

If you have to buy supplements in large qty. I wonder if you could get professional prices instead of retail? just a thought.

Good luck with it all.

Awesome!! You are just plugging right along with this, like the little Rachel engine that could :lol::lol::lol:

Soon you will be up the hill, over that mountain, and on to the other side!!!

mftnchn Explorer

Julie, that's some good ideas. The payment plan could help. I do get discounts when I buy larger amounts at my doctor's office. I think this next year though I'll just get a few months at a time.

Sherry, I forgot to comment on this. I recently had asked my acupuncturist if she or her teacher (a very old wise Chinese man) used Chinese medicine to treat lyme disease. She said yes, and off the top of her head she told me they approach it and treat it as bacteria, but needed to ask her teacher more about it, and of course this is for here in Colorado.

I found a couple of interesting links for you (if you didn't have this info already):

Yeah...this little Rachel engine wont give up...I'm gonna make it the other side. Hopefully they have pizza on the other side of the mountain. :D

Hey...I think if we go over the hill we are in gluten territory...so there *must* be pizza. :lol: I'll make sure I go through the decontamination chamber thingy when I come back. ;)

I'm totally interested in the TH1/TH2 test.....I'm guessing I'm switched on the TH2 side but you never know. It would be interesting to find out. How do they test for that??

I could also be TH1...I've had super high antibodies to yeast so its not like my immune system isnt doing anything. I also have Graves which I *think* is linked to TH1.

I wanna do this test!

It seems like my brain is clearer now that I've gotten the minerals...I was feeling kind of "dull" the past couple weeks. The migraine definately didnt help but now that thats over with I'm feeling much better!

Hmmm...I wonder if I could tolerate 4cc's of DMPS!! I dont think my doctor will let me find out. :P

I felt better after the last chelation and this one has left me feeling really good too....hopefully yeast isnt flaring up tomorrow though. I think that might have been a problem last time. <_<

Stupid yeast!! :angry:

Andrea....yup 2 weeks is like FOREVER!! As usual I'm gonna be really anxious about getting my results back. :rolleyes:

I finally get to see Amy tomorrow...and my brain seems to be functioning...so all is good right now!!

I'm gonna bring my voice recorder....right now I'm gonna write down my questions. :)

1. When do you think I can eat more foods?? :lol:

Rachel--24 Collaborator

Carla,

When will we hear from Kassandra?? We are a very impatient bunch here. :ph34r:

I wanna know what happened!

AndreaB Contributor

I wouldn't push it either.

Didn't Anna say you could only handle 3 cc's....I forget.

I've been checking the computer frequently too, waiting for an update from Kassandra. How long of a drive is it to LA? She could be really tired too though.

      If you mean continueing on Gluten Free my answer is yes.  She showed significant improvement in her behavior and that translates to a happy family.  Do get her tested as sooon as you can.  You might want to investigate genetic testing for Celiac Disease.  Children recover more quickly than adults.  It took my son about 6 months on Nutramigen before going to regular food, gluten free.  Blood tests are not always accurate in very young children. You may be advised to see a gastroenterologist instead of relying on blood tests results. Logic: She is better off gluten than before.  Wheat flour has no nutritional value and has an omega 6: omega 3 ratio of 22:1.  Our bodies do better at 3:1.  Omega 6 causes inflammation. When my son was diagnosed, back in 1976, his doctor recommended my wife and I also go gluten free.  We declined and lived to regret it.  I started GFD at 63 and have spent the last 10 years undoing the damage, some of my symptons went all the way back to my childhood and things I lived with all my life got better.
    • Wheatwacked
      Hi @Nicbent35,             When my son was diagnosed with Celiac Disease when he was weaned, so I understand your frustration.       With improvement so dramatic, it cannot be a coincedence. Get her to the doctor and tell the story and insist on testing.  In the meantime, though, continue on GFD.  Her health is more important than convincing a doctor.  Bring videos of her behaviors if you can.  Even if the blood tests and biopsy prove negative, that is part of the diagnosis process for NCGS and later when she is recovered you can always do a Gluten Challenge.      This is an important time in her developement.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption syndrome, leading to malnutrition, regardles of what she eats.  Though NCGS may not cause malabsorption, it will affect food choices which can lead to malnutrition.  There may be benifits that an official diagnosis may have, but they don't trump a healthy child.      Get her healthy, then worry about validation later.  Celiac Disease is difficult to diagnosed, especially in children, because doctors look for antibodies in the blood and young children have immature immune systems.  Also you don't mention any gastrologic symtoms and celiac disease is traditionally considered gastrolic only.  Not true.  There are over 200 symptom that celiac disease and the accompaning malnutrion mimics or causes that often causes misdiagnosis and delay in recovery. While at the doctors, ask them about vitamin D deficiency and Iodine deficiency in particular. Milk being the primary source of iodine in the diet, but concerns exist regarding the lower iodine content in organic milk and reduced milk consumption in certain demographics.  Vitamin D deficiency is 40% of the industrialized population and a recent study in the Great Britain showed a wopping 60%, beaten only by some areas of Canada at 70%. And B1, B2, B3, B5 and B6.  Deficiencies in these are common in untreated Celiac Disease and they affect energy production. Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results?
    • knitty kitty
      @plumbago, Are you taking any folate with your B12?   Folate helps regulate HDL levels.  You may try taking a methylfolate supplement with your B12.   If there's a folate deficiency because you aren't absorbing sufficient folate, or have the MThF mutation causing a functional folate deficiency (methylfolate trap), you can have a functional B12 deficiency despite supplementing, resulting in HDL levels not getting regulated, but running high or low.   Pushing the envelope in explanations, too. P. S. Are you taking a B Complex?  Folate and B12 Cobalamine need enzymes made from B6 Pyridoxine's interaction with Thiamine, and B2 Riboflavin's interaction with Thiamine.  Is your Vitamin D low?
    • Nicbent35
      Thank you for all that helpful info, does that mean it’s not a good idea to do what I’m doing? Or since it’s only been a week should I see if I could get her tested now? Would it show up still since it hasn’t been long if they tested her?
    • trents
      Welcome to the forum, @Nicbent35! There is something called gluten withdrawal that might have come into play here as well. As strange as it might sound, gluten has some addictive properties similar to opiates and some people feel physically and emotionally out of sorts for a few weeks after it is removed from their diet. There are two recognized gluten disorders, celiac disease (aka, "gluten intolerance") and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (aka, NCGS or just "gluten sensitivity" for short). They have symptoms that overlap. The difference is that celiac disease is an autoimmune condition that causes inflammation in the small bowel lining and, over time, damages the lining of the small bowel. There are specialized blood antibody tests that have been developed for diagnosing celiac disease. NCGS, on the other hand, does not damage the lining of the small bowel. No tests are yet available for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out in order to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS but NCGS is 10x more common than celiac disease. Please be aware that if your daughter is on a gluten free diet, the celiac disease blood antibody tests will not give valid results. For the testing to be valid, she would need to have been eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks/months leading up to the day of the blood draw. If you remove gluten from her diet as an experiment, valid testing can be done later on but she would need to be restarted on gluten for weeks/months ahead of the blood draw. Also be aware that once on a gluten free diet, restarting gluten can produce more severe symptoms because all tolerance may have been lost.
