question for all that can help

I guess I will schedule a consult with his pediatrician and see if he has another problem, if we could try antibiotics and go from there. I am just curious the tics this time started about 3 weeks before the illness came on. It did seem to peak at the time he was sick and is now getting better, would that come on that early?

Hi bmom,

 

I just wanted to re-enforce what Michele had said above about not beating yourself up because you didn't get a swab done or whatever. I have played that "what-if" game over and over before and believe me it does no good. I had convinced my self that if I had gotten my sons tonsils out sooner none of the tics would have occured and so forth. But now that I look back, the tics were truly a blessing. Wiithout that we would never have been led to the correct diagnosis and treatment. Yes he would be tic free, but he would still be suffering from all of the emotional instability and insecurities that he is free from today. I have beaten myself up over and over in the past years, but looking back now I see that it was all leading up to a solution. Please try to relax some and just enjoy your child and trust that this too shall pass.

 

I also wanted to bring up another thing that I have been pondering lately. I ran across an article recently that had a statement about NAC (N-acetyl Cysteine) saying that it is under going trials in the United States for the treatment of OCD. I found this interesting because Dr. Murphy had mentioned that it is a good supplement for neurotoxicity. The way I understand it, it is a type of healing supplement from the damage of the increased titers on the basal ganglia. But the small amount that I was able to find says they are looking at it as therapy for OCD. I find that very interesting. Anyone else heard anything about this??

Just wanted to share this excerpt from Mercola's website re NAC: I would caution diabetics not to use it routinely however, unless all their mercury is removed from someone who is experienced with mercury detoxification. If mercury is still present in a person's system NAC will bind to it and carry it to the brain, thus worsening brain function. NAC can be used for a mercury removal program, but only late in the program, not early on. This is from Dr. Klinghardt's extensive clincial experience in mercury removal. He is one of the leading clinicians in the world in this area.

I also still go back and forth on the tonsil removal. It sounds like some people are on the fence about whether that is good or bad. I know you said it has worked well for your son DeeDee.

My son use to have lot of infections and whzeeing episodes and his tonsil got so big that it started to block his airways while sleeping. So i had no choice but to remove them and after a year later strep infection and tics later. Tonsils some time protect against germs and some time they habor them. Check with good ENT doc and see how big they are in sizes 1 to 4 .
