Reading "Healing the New Childhood Epidemics..."

[eilenej1]

by, Kenneth Bock, MD.  I'm only on page 46, but I'm already in love with this book.  I've changed our diet, did allergy testing, eliminated several allergy foods and added some back in after testing - but still do not have the results I desire in neither my ADHD boy nor my non-ADHD boy.  Adding the allergy foods back in didn't make anything worse, but taking them out also didn't make anything better. 

I've always been interested in heavy metal testing.  Both boys had so many ear infections & antibiotics that they eventually got tubes.  My ADHD boy also had tonsils & adenoids removed.  So they've been exposed to so many antibiotics, all of which probably killed off too many beneficial bacteria. 

Now to the book.  In chapter 2 it talks briefly about detoxification, part of which is the body's methylation process, which removes toxins from the body.  I don't remember the page number, but antibiotics, especially a LOT of antibiotics, can damage that process. 

I think my point is, I'm on the right track with what I'm doing so far, but I'm missing some key pieces of the puzzle.  This book is very encouraging in giving me clues to the missing pieces.  Now I just need to finish the book and find a doctor who follows this type of protocol.
