Today we had an appointment with a Homeopathic/Naturalpathic Doctor. It was the first appointment we have had with one. As I have said before, even though I am seasoned when it comes to Grayson's Chromosome Deletion, I am still quite the "newbie" with his Autism Diagnosis so I have been researching to no end and reading blogs of other parents who have children with Autism and have found an array of "protocols" and "treatments" and just things to try but and I am sifting through trying to figure out what I am comfortable with, what I believe in and what I think may actually help Grayson and his progress.
I am starting with Homeopathic medicine because it is natural and I do trust and believe in it and do not worry about it causing him any harm.
This was a pretty basic visit... lots of questions and to get him started the doctor has put him on 3 different supplements:
Glutamine Powder
Maxiflav Powder
HLC Mantience
The Gluatmine Powder and Maxiflav Powder are both for digestive support and immune support and the HLC Maintenance is basically a probiotic.
We are starting with these because Grayson has shown to have digestive issues since he was born and he also has a pretty poor immune system so we are starting him on these to get his digestive tract stronger and then at the end of September we will start him on some stuff that will help build his over all immune system especially since winter is on its way.
We are also going to take a look at his Heavy Metals a little later on and see if those results show he needs help with his heavy metal output.
I will keep updating with each visit to Dr. Tracy.
