At five years old, he began to get seasonal allergies in the spring. Next came a few food allergies. Each year, the hayfever became progressively worse until, two years ago, it turned into full blown asthma. Worse still, he became alergic to wheat (but NOT the gluten... the wheat itself), all corn and corn by-products, mushrooms, shellfish (not the iodine, but the shellfish itself), all nuts and seeds and their respective oils, and on and on.
In desperation, I tried Ted's remedy for seasonal allergies, as I did NOT want my son to stay on all those steroids each spring. I noticed that Ted kept talking about excess copper and the need for zinc. So, I looked down the long list of my son's food allergies and compared it to a list of taboo foods for people with Wilson's Disease, a disorder that prevents affected people from processing copper at all. Lo and behold... My son's food allergies had one thing in common; they were all foods loaded with copper. So, I began Ted's remedy and, I swear, within three days my son woke up in the morning and didn't wheeze or need a single pill or inhaler ever again. Interesting to note, however, as soon as I thought it was "safe" to take him off the remedy, all his symptoms came back the next day. Thus, I continue to give him the suppliments and he is doing amazingly well. Oh, and his food allergies after 12 months....gone!!!!!
Here is the protocol that I continue to follow:
I mix into a glass of juice EVERY MORNING: 1,000 mg powdered Sodium Ascorbate, 3 drops liquid vitamin D3 (1,000mg), 2 drops liquid molybdenum (50 mcg). He can't taste a bit of it in the juice, so there are no complaints.
With breakfast, he takes 25mg zinc gluconate every day.
TWICE A WEEK he takes 100mcg selenium (L-selenomethionine) with the zinc in the morning. I give it on Saturdays and and Wednesdays, because its easy for me to remember.
After school, when his stomach is empty, I give him 10 mg manganese gluconate with a bottled water, because Ted says this should be taken alone.
Three times a week, at dinner, I give him a "raw" B-complex, as several of the B-vitamins are aparently needed to aid the other supplements. Plus, I mix an additional 1, 000 mg of powdered sodium ascorbate into whatever he is drinking at dinnertime.
My son's pediatrician, who is open to alternative treatments, was so shocked at the allergy blood results, not to mention the vanishing asthma, that he wrote all of this down to try on other young patients!
