911,
You did the absolute right things. Letting him sit in the can for a while will help him see that his current state of health is endangering his future freedom. He will be serious about finding a solution to his feelings when he gets out and motivated to act on any solution, which will be helpful for you.
A hair analysis is the only way to find the direct cause of violent, aggressive behavior of long-standing nature, since these are most often caused by heavy metal poisoning. Lead and Cadmium in particular are known to cause these problems. See the reference link below.
By asking your question here, you get the benefit of learning about pascalite, introduced to us by Andreas Moritz. It is a very pure bentonite clay which has electrical properties which are known to remove toxic metals from the body in a 20 minute bath. Two baths is usually enough to remove all of the toxic metals. Thes metals are known to replace the soothing healthy metals such as magnesium, calcium and zinc when they are deficient. Replacing the healthy elements is important in the treatment.
Larry Wilson is a great resource on hair analysis and treating metal toxicity. He and Paul Eck are the pioneers in this field. Dr Wilson still practices hair mineral analysis in Phoenix, and has written several books on the subject. One of the books discusses the psychological aspects of metal poisoning in detail. He can give you his treatment recommendations using your hair analysis. He does not currently recommend Pascalite. His website has some good articles on the subject which you may want to read. One inparticular talks about behavior problems and heavy metals.
Liver cleansing will help him a lot because a clogged liver makes it hard to eliminate toxic metals through the body's natural pathway. It also produces the chelating amino acids which do the removing from tissues and transport to the liver. Andreas has created the most effective and easy to do liver cleanse detailed in his book, "Amazing Liver Cleanse." It is available online as PDF from 1stbooks.com, linked below. It is cheap and full of valuable information.
He is very lucky to have a mom who is so prepared for this. You were able to identify his problem, and find solutions immediately, sparing him years of suffering with the illness and pain of misdiagnosis and incarceration while seeking help from traditional shrinks who have no clue that ill health always has a cause. No matter how ornery he is, remember that your little boy is still in there, still savable. He acts aggressively toward the disease and whatever symbolizes that to him. He does not wish to hurt anyone, except to kill that thing inside him that makes him feel so much pain. Forgive anything he does under this spell, then act like the mom that truly loves him by treating it quickly and aggressively, taking no prisoners and no BS or excuses, from anyone, not even siblings or dad. This one is on YOU you are completely responsible, not for the cause but for its resolution. Make it happen, whether he likes it or not, and save his life. He is a minor in desperate need of protection and healing in order to save his life, and that of others, and to keep him happy and free. You can do it!
Good luck,
Rich
