Re: Ready to Quit! Please Help with Toddler!
"Hi...
Do you have your son on iodine? Stephanie Buist,
Iodine advocate [http://www.naturalthyroidchoices.com] has a son who's ADD and might be able to offer some suggestions. When her kids were small, she crushed up an iodoral tablet and put it in applesauce for them to take. Can you get him to eat salsa with cilantro in it to help pull out heavy metals?
Have you tried magnesium oil or
Epsom Salt baths for him? Glutamine is supposed to be good for ADD and leaky gut. The powder is tasteless and you can mix it in juice, yogurt, etc..

I think
Clarkia is an EXCELLENT idea for your little guy. You can hide the taste in strong juices like cranberry or pomegranet. The dose is 1 drop for every 10 lbs so you won't need much for him and it can be masked really well in a couple of
ounces of juice.

First thanks for responding so quick my son is in the bath so I have a sec. ummm yes I tried the
Lugols Iodine 2 drops twice a day. I think it has been a little over 2 weeks now on that. I forgot to list that. I did get that for advice
L=glutamine...well not in itself but I have tried ATTEND which has l=glutamine in it along with a couple other amino acids.
I tried Calcium Magnesium liguid..this is a hard one to get down him but he does take a little. I did by some magnesium spray for myself and tried a squirt or two on him. It made me itchy but he didnt say anything of course he wouldnt know how to tell me it itches. I am just not sure what to use and if I should use magnesium spray by itself since he doesnt get alot of calcium unless he takes his calcium supplement which is a liquid with magnesium in it.
For myself on the magnesium spray I use 8 squirts on both arms and legs. How many for a child? Also any other suggestions besides putting him back on organic milk which I dont know if he ever had a problem with milk itself he just wanted to drink alot of it and would not want to eat?
Maybe put him back on milk "organic" no more chocolate hopefully it has been long enough he is broke from that habit! And add magnesium spray. (6-8 sprays equal to about 100mg correct me if I am wrong?)
As for Cilantro (the veggie) I probably could find a way to put it in something. I heard
Iodine is good for pulling heavy metals and bromide.
For
Epsom Salt bath (is that for the magnesium) or for detox because he doesnt stay in baths long.
As for all the stuff I currently have him on I need to come up with a way to mix it as well. I currently use pineapple juice for the "attend" vitamins, iodine, fish oil, and EFA. I am almost ready to get some bad old fashioned chocolate pudding yes I know but once a day mixed up with the stuff would be less
Sugar then 2 sippie bottles (also trying to break him of sippie bottles) only reason I am still using them is to mix his vitamins!
He doesnt like applesauce. He is a weird picky eater. If he gets the chance at junk foods he is in heaven. I dont have many if any in my house.
Sorry so long. Thanks for the suggestions. I will look into glutamine and cilantro.
