Whoops. I didn't think the first one posted. Sorry about the double whammy.

Wow! What a great article. Thank you so much for sharing this. May I ask if you have ever had your son tested for vitamin & mineral deficiencies or food allergies? Also, was your son given antibiotics a lot when he was younger? There are some very interesting studies on the brain/gut connection lately, of niacin (B3) & Zinc deficiencies, of wheat & dairy allergies and of lack of good probiotics, especially in the form of fermented foods. I know a lot of people are resistant to this kind of thought but it sounds like you have tried just about every traditional approach possible with no luck. What do you have to lose at this point? I don't want to push and if this doesn't speak to you please forgive my intrusion. If, however, there is even a small chance that this could help your son, I wouldn't feel right if I didn't at least mention it. I have a 17 month old son and I can't imagine the pain, despair and helplessness of watching this happen to your child. I wish you luck.

Wow. What an amazing article. I completely agree. I think that we are lacking in so many areas as far as how we treat our citizens. Especially children. There are so many kids suffering from disorders, but no real attempts at getting to the route of the problem. May I ask if you have ever had him checked for food allergies and vitamin and mineral deficiencies? There are a lot of interesting studies being conducted on the gut brain connection. In some instances it is a lack of good bacteria (probiotics) that is being linked to mental illness. So many people are given a lot of antibiotics from a very young age and it just wipes out or bodies good bacteria. Do you feed your son fermented food. There is another interesting study on Niacin (B3) deficiency and mental illness. Finally, there are some interesting studies on food allergies having a connection to mental illness. It sounds like you have tried just about every traditional approach with no luck. Just thought I would suggest some non-traditional possibilities, just in case. Couldn't hurt, right? I wish you luck. I am a mother of a 17 month old boy and I can not imagine the pain of watching your son go through this and feeling so helpless. I hope that you are able to find some sort of option that helps you and your son and I hope our Country does start addressing this issue head on. It is time.
