Sorry for the confusion... I don't think you cure ASD either. Was trying to be sarcastic as I'm really annoyed my dad was trying to big note himself they cured my autisim with early ed. WTF? I wasn't austistic! I think I had sensory prosessing which may have been helped though. I'm annoyed he thinks my son can be "cured" if I'm as good a parent as he was. Yeah right. Whatever. Really dislike my father, sorry. I want to start the diet/heavy metal detox stuff soon. Not sure how that works when E only eats 3 foods though.
Epsom salt baths are one of the best ways to start with toxic load, not just metals, but even if they are sensitive to natural chemicals in their food, it will help draw them out through the skin. If E only eats three foods, it might be worth starting on the GAPS diet rather than an elimination diet (there's not much more you could eliminate really). We looked at elimination diets, but the way I saw it was that elimination diets remove the things that are causing issues, where the GAPS diet stops them from being issues in the first place ITMS. The GAPS diet says that autism can be "cured" but what I think it means by that is that the improvements that are seen are normally so great that the children get taken off the spectrum, they still have to deal with the issues and be careful of yeast overgrowth etc., but there are a lot less of dx criteria so they don't need the label anymore.
