Emmet got the results of the heavy metals and candida tests from his DAN dr.
He was a 2+ for candida (at the "bad" end of the scale) and a big fat ZERO on healthy bacteria.
He tested nearly *off the chart* for lead and has a high mercury level.
We are agressivly going after candida thru diet, probiotics, niastatin and Fluconazole. Then we will start chelation.
Altho the results are terrible, the dr has very high hopes that by fixing these issues Emmet's behavior will improve drastically.
Now here's the good news:
The dr was telling me that Em shouldn't have any sodas, corn syrup, yeasted breads/crackers, etc. Not thinking, I said "Well we are raw vegan, so all I have to cut out is agave, honey, and dried fruit." The dr gave a HUGE smile and said "really? raw vegan?" then after talking a bit he stopped, put his hands down on his desk and said "Are you SERIOUS about the raw vegan thing? That's great!"
SO YIPPEE! I got the thumbs up from someone in the medical community!

That is such good news! I am so excited for you and Emmet!
~I am only interested in results. If something works, then an explanation is really just an intellectual exercise. ~

Oh HAPPY DAY about the doctor!
Sorry the results were like that. Then again, I'm not at the same time. DON'T SHOOT ME!
It's just that he's right about his behavior should get much better with those things corrected! So that is great news! I'm so happy for you girlie! Knowledge really IS power!
