Running out of NCD

We ran out of NCD last week. I tried to make it to the end of the month and over estimated. It didn't help that DH had a problem with a bottle - the cap came off because it was stopped up and he lost the entire rest of the bottle. (Waiora was great about sending out a brand new bottle!)

Anyway, so Demi has been without NCD for the past week with no obvious ill effects. Early on (~2 yrs ago), there was an obvious difference when she didn't have it for some time - she'd get very spacey. I'd have to repeat something 4-5 times before catching her attention. This time, however, although she may have been a bit more hyper, I didn't notice any spacy-ness.

I've read frequently about how some kids regress after coming off NCD and others don't. I suspect it has to do with where they are in their toxicity perhaps. Or maybe something else. But, after being on NCD for an extended period of time, Demi did not regress when taking an unintentional one week break this time.

So, does that mean she no longer needs the NCD? I don't think so. I think it's still doing the job of mopping up metals and toxins which may be floating about in her. There's just a lower supply now. Plus, since I'm still using ALA, I still need the NCD to help get that stuff cleaned out.
