Kids Guts and Behavioural issues

In this blog I'm going to answer the questions put to me by one of my clients. Do you have the same questions?

 I worry about John's behavioral issues (and don't like to discuss this in front of him) and am seeking what can be done to improve these.
Often kids behavior will improve with digestive healing. There are two big areas outside the brain to look at with kids behavioral issues; The digestive walls and the blood brain barrier (BBB) 
The digestive wall is influenced by the microbiome, the integrity of the gut wall, toxins and allergies. John is on a program to improve the first three. If we suspect allergies I have a Food dectective test to help work out what they are.
The BBB is a new area of research but what they have found is that inflammation causes the BBB to become more porous and chemicals that would normally be stopped by the BBB leak into the brain. There is a description of this as the “brain is on fire”. We see this often is kids with gross behavioural issues where if we can stop this whole reaction the kids behaviour improves dramatically.  

I am interested in what process you will undertake with John and what will be done to eliminate the heavy metals in John's system.
John is on a program called Clean Within for kids.
Step one is to improve the microbiome. 
Step two is to use supplements to help bind out the heavy metals.
With good compliance these 2 steps usually take about 6 weeks but each case is different.

I presume the supplements for John are to eliminate parasites and improve his gut function.
The supplements in Step one are all about getting the right Microbiome.  The testing indicates that John has unbeneficial bacteria.  The drops will kill unbenefical bacteria, parasites and protozoa.  The powder is all about binding these all up and taking them out of the system.

Would it be beneficial to treat my daughters ( not sure if the supplement is like a probiotic).
Do they have similar symptoms? I’d only recommend the anti-parasite drops if their Urinary Indicans testing came back at level 2.3.or 4. Otherwise a good probiotics like Flora Care for kids would be great.

Are there a wide variety of metals that are all treated differently?
I usually treat them all similarly for the first 6 weeks, in most cases the symptoms go and all goes back to normal.  Sometime rarely where we don't clear the toxicity, I either order hair analysis or urine analysis at a pathology lab to find out more and then we can make the treatment more specific. If you would like a referral at any time for these, it's easy for me to provide.

How do the metals get into the system?
We live in a chemical soup. I doesn't take much research to find that all our food sources and tainted with something. The air that we breathe is not as clean as we would like. It’s not hard to find sources around the house in pipes, on walls in the water supply. Kids also tend to put lots of stuff in their mouths. On the other hand our bodies are great detoxifiers. WE break down and eliminate all day long. Sometimes we just need to help the body in this process to keep up.

Would you advocate a hair analysis test. I was speaking to someone recently with an autistic child who had some hair analysis done and saw great results after treating the child.
I can give you a referral any time you would like. I usually hold off a little and see if we can clear it without spending further money on testing. 

Do I need a pathology request from a doctor to be tested for pyrrole or can you issue one?
Pyrroles I can issue a referral. We'll get a bit more of an interesting result if we hold off to after the digestive healing program otherwise we may test him and he is high and them want to test him again after the program.
