RAW diet and autistic spectrum kids

[Guest guest]

For the past 6 years, I have spent thousands of dollars trying to

help my son (who will soon be 13) with his autistic behavior of

handflapping and sometimes staring at objects and making weird

noises.

 

I tried the RAW food diet last summer for one month and these

behaviors became even worse. He was also losing weight even though I

was trying to feed him foods with fat such as avocadoes, coconut, and

nuts. He dropped almost 10 pounds in 3 weeks and he is already very

thin, so I was scared. He is 90 lbs now and was down to 85 when we

stopped the RAW experiment.

 

After stopping the RAW food diet, we put him on prescription anti-

fungals (diflucan and also amphotericin) and we immediately saw

improvement. He calmed down and the ezcema on his hands, which he

has had long-term, went away! His autism is definitely yeast-

related. He is doing better on these, but I don't want to keep him

on medication long-term. I believe he also has mercury poisoning

from vaccinations, and we have tried chelation with DMPS, DMSA, and

ALA. They all produced mouth sores inside of his mouth within

several days of using. I am not sure what this means, but I need to

find a way to get mercury out of his brain and ALA crosses the BBB.

 

I would like to try RAW food diet again, but need to do it

differently. He probably shouldn't eat alot of fruit (we have him

fruit-restricted right now while doing anti-fungals) as well as

severly limiting honey and dates and such. I wonder if Agave feeds

candida...

 

Also, according to " Eat Right for Your Blood Type " he isn't supposed

to be eating coconuts, avocadoes, cabbages. This is hard because

coconuts and avocadoes are what I was using for fat, especially

coconut milk. Type O's are supposed to be meat-eaters as well and

not do grains. Are there many Type O's who are doing RAW, vegan

successfully? Alot of the autism doctors, called DAN docs, are

supporting the " Blood Type " diet.

 

I felt great when we were doing the RAW diet last summer, but I

desperately need to do a diet that is going to help my son!

 

Thanks for any help,
