What results have you found with

[mommyof2]

ts-PLUS CONTROL (bonnie's) I am thinking of giving this a try...it looks like a good mixture of what I am giving my son only better. I'm trying to figure out something soon. He is starting to get teased in school now. He just moved to the next school, in elementary no one ever laughed at him, but now he says some boys are looking and pointing and laughing and telling others to also. He is not in a group with any of his close friends, so he has to make new friends and this makes it hard.

 

I have to say we went to the beach this past weekend and i stupidy packed for in the car hot tamolis (sp?) wanted something not too messy and he loves them...well when we got to the room, I swear I thought his head was going to fly off that is how hard it was nodding... I know it was excitement and I am sure the red didn't help...I told him NO MORE RED!!! he understood and doesn't complain...the next night the people we were with got out red licorice and he went for it, loves that too.... I said no and he said alll that is right... Glad he understands.

 

I am just worried he is going to end up with wrist problems because he is constantly flicking his wrists... That is the big thing now and the hmmm's he is always saying...

 

Thanks for any input on the ts-plus control... it is expensive but if it works i will be happy to pay

Hi Mary

 

sorry this got no replies before

 

we have never used Bontech supps but I did base the original protocol that helped my son on Bonnie's research and I do know many here have found her products very beneficial.

 

a small number of people do seem to tic more on TS-plus for reasons we dont know, tho some have suggested possible intolerance to one or more of the ingredients

 

overall tho the reports seem to be very favourable

We used Bontech for about three months while we were trying to find a good doc and figuring out what kinds of tests to run. In the immediate it helped us, but what we did after the lab testing was more beneficial. We ended up getting a compounded vit based on our son's nutritional needs. He was dxd with pyroluria, and although Bontech is EXTREMELY WELL BALANCED FOR T.S., my doc was very impressed with it, their vits are low in zinc and we needed adequate zinc to combat pyroluria.

They are capsules and when we ordered them they were bright yellow-orange in color. I believe they are not the same color now. We had to take a lot of them (up to 10 capsules a day) and we did see a correlation between the wax periods and the next dose, so I really believed the vitamins were helpful in keeping the tics down. At the time when we ordered the vits our son was exhibiting chronic multi-focal ticcing and it was inhibiting his daily activities. He was also not sleeping well and was very irritable in general. So, to answer your question, yes, they were helpful. If I had to do it all again I would still buy them. I am also glad that we did all the testing we did do because that was very instrumental in getting him into 'remission' so to speak, which is where we are now and have been for about 1 1/2 yrs.

Our son had severe food intolerances and at the time of onset his diet consisted of about 90% of the foods he was intolerant of.

What really helped in the short term, before we had all the testing done, was to feed him organic, all natural stuff and to get rid of all the artificial colors in his diet especially. We also learned through experience that he is highly sensitive to dextrose, high-fructose corn syrup and citric acid (all corn products and he has a corn allergy problem.) These three compounds would set him off ticcing like crazy and it would last for days.

Hope this helps.

BTW we used to put the vits in apple sauce to help him take them (he was 4 at the time). We did two in morning, two at lunch, two at snack time, two at dinner, and when he was really ticcy we added two more an hour before bed. They have to be taken with food.
