Ramping up NCD again

Things seem to be back to normal now for Demi. After taking her NCD dose down to 4 drops (12/day) and giving her 2 sachets of Threelac each day, her severe lack of attention dimished last week.

I'm ready to try again, but I procrastinated and only ordered the zinc and Liver Life just now. I'll try increasing slightly, but I won't go over that dangerous 8 drops level until I can get some zinc and liver life into her, which might not be until next week.

Last Friday, her teacher tested her for letter sound identification and she got all but 3. Yea, Demi! Based on that result after listening to the Alphamotions song MANY times at school, I'm guessing she's an auditory learner. I'll have to figure out how to teach her things that way. Any suggetions?

Yeast Control

Perhaps I'm getting too impatient. Or perhaps I'm jumping to conclusions.

I'm just upset that Demi has been so "not with it" since mid-December. I'm pretty sure it's because I pushed her NCD dose without yeast control in place (we had run out ThreeLac). I really didn't notice her lack of attention and spaciness untilafter Christmas some time (close to 2 wks after running out of ThreeLac.) Unfortunately, I think the yeast got a firm foothold and it's not yet backing down.

I'm wondering if I should hold on the NCD and let the ThreeLac start to catch up over time, or should I stop NCD long enough to get the yeast under control before ramping up on NCD again. I guess I should ask them over at AutismNCD to see which would be quicker and more effective.

Hitting a wall at 24 drops

Well, we worked up to 8 drops, 3x/day, on Thursday as planned. However, Thursday night, I noticed that dry cough coming back. Friday morning when she got up, she had a lot of mucous in her eyes, like the start of pink eye. I backed off to 6 drop doses on Friday, 7 drop doses today (Saturday). She's been back to normal since I backed off the 8 drops.

According to the "experts" at AutismNCD, she needs some zinc to bust through those cold symptoms. I guess that will be the next thing added to her supplement arsenal that's building. Wow, you just kind of wade into this thing looking for alternatives and then you start seeing changes, along with a few negatives that need another solution, then more gains, then more problems requiring yet another supplement. You just don't know how out of balance a system is until you try to get it back into balance.

I'm happy to do it all as long as I continue seeing gains!

Another "Restart"

Demi had a bit of a break over the weekend to get rid of her detox symptoms. Yesterday, she had 5 drops, 3x/day. Today up to 6, 3x/day. We'll hold at 8 drops (24/day) through Monday and then progress more slowly. Perhaps what she went through was what they call a "detox crash" over on AutismNCD.

We also have ThreeLac again now, so I'm giving her two sachets of that a day to hopefully improve her latest regression of not listening. It was so nice having her be SO compliant just a few weeks ago. She would even do things without being asked and was quite tuned in to helping out, even cleaning up her room without being asked. Lately, she's been off in her own world, not caring what anyone else is doing. For me, it's rather difficult to see the benefits until you see a regression back to what it used to be.

I've mentioned that I'm giving her fish oil before, but I don't know that I've ever said how much. I give her about 2T/day. Regular dose is 1 tsp/day, so she gets about 6 times the normal dose. Because Kabuki may be related to insufficient myelination, I believe she needs all the EFA's I can get into her. She's very good about taking her liquid fish oil.

Dangers of Toxins

Much more often, we're starting to hear about the dangers of toxins in the mainstream media:

NCD Today Show: Toxic People
Ground Zeo Toxicity
National Geographic's Pollution Within
Canada's CBC News Chasing The Cancer Answer

Just to name a few.

Understandably, it's a growing concern. Far too many people have never heard these reports (those would be the ostriches with their heads in the sand) or choose to ignore the information (the notorious "it could never happen to me" or skeptical "it's all hype"). Wake up call! 1 in 2 people in North America will get cancer. Ok, that's either you or me, and I'm not ignoring the facts. (Hopefully you aren't either and there are 2 other unfortunate souls out there somewhere.)

“Most of the diseases of aging —vascular, most cancers, arthritis and others-- have been shown to be associated with toxic metals …..”
Dr. Robert A. Nash, Chairman of the American Board of Clinical Metal Toxicology

“Evidence from 21 research studies … linking toxicants in the environment to breast cancer…” Breast Cancer Fund, October, 2004

So why aren't more people doing something about it? There IS something you can do on a daily basis to combat toxins in the environment, water, food, air, cleaning products, toiletry products, etc., etc. Sure, you may choose to invest in a whole-house water filter, eat all organic foods, make your own clothing from organic cotton grown in your back yard (might take a few years to get that new shirt). Living in an area with "cleaner" air, eating "healthier" foods, shunning toxin-laden toiletries like deoderant and toothpaste (cleanliness is over-rated) are all good things to do to decrease the amount of toxins entering your body. However, NO ONE can escape them totally.

Natural Cellular Defense (NCD), cellular zeolite, liquid zeolite, whatever you want to call it, helps the body eliminate the flood of toxins present in today's environment. With the body burden lifted, the body's immune system kicks in, nutrients are better absorbed, organs function more efficiently. Having extra help to get toxins out of the body helps the body fight disease today and prevent disease from occurring in the future. What a bargain!

Remember, NCD does not treat or cure any disease. The BODY does that on its own.
