We have hit a roadblock in Jordan’s treatment and progress. Jordan’s
doctor first wants to treat his allergies then his toxicity issues,
including heavy metal toxicity. So we are starting with shots that are
suppose to reduce or eliminate his allergies (over the course of a
couple of years). For about 6 weeks we’ve been working on a treatment
protocol for Jordan to receive on of these shots - an LDA shot. That’s
Low Dose Antigen, an enzyme-potentiated allergen shot. In order to
receive it there is a protocol he has to meet for the 9 days before the
shot. It goes something like this. 9 days before – stop fish oil
supplement, start on prescription anti-fungal drug. The day before, the
day of and the day after the shot, stop ALL supplements and
prescriptions and all food or drink has to be cooked or boiled. Well,
we’ve made it through to day 8 or 9 a few times. Day 8 is the day before
the shot, day 9 is the day of the shot. Only to have him get a cough or
runny nose or diarrhea – all reasons that prevented him from getting
the shot.
After the last aborted attempt at the shot, I stopped Jordan’s
anti-fungal medication to give him a break and started him on his fish
oil supplement again. Guess what…that day he started talking MUCH more
again. New words. I hadn’t heard a new word in over a month. Two, three,
and four word combinations! I hadn’t heard those in a month either.
Jonathan took notice too and we both marvelled at what we heard coming
from Jordan’s mouth.
So, which is he responding to? The anti-fungal bothering him, or the
fish oil helping him? I’m inclined to think it’s both. And it makes me
really not want to keep him on these prescription anti-fungals. I spoke
with his doctor, but didn’t receive a satisfactory answer. He said to
try Diflucan at 1/2 a dose. The appointment before, he had said never to
give him Diflucan again because it was giving him diarrhea…hmmm. It was
very yeasty diarrhea so I hadn’t been real worried, I figured it was
doing it’s job. So, maybe a 1/2 dose will do the trick. But I’m afraid
that somehow it is affecting Jordan’s brain since it is affecting his
speech so much.
I feel a bit confused and frustrated. I don’t understand why we have
to do the allergy shots in order to detoxify him. I just know that is
the order this doctor does it in #1 nutrition (we were already doing all
of his suggestions when we started with him) #2 allergies controlled #3
detox and heavy metals. So, I’ve been back to pulling nearly
all-nighters researching, and we have been thinking this over. Our
decision – we are going to follow the doctor’s suggestion one more time
and see what happens. For now I’m giving Jordan a little bit of a break
from the prescriptions before we give it one more try. In the mean time,
I’ve scheduled a consultation (a month from now) with yet another
doctor – one in Pittsburgh who treats with natural anti-fungals, not
prescription, doesn’t treat with allergy shots, and jumps on getting
the toxicity out right away. I’m more comfortable with this new
doctor’s treatment protocol and feel that he is more up-to-date on his
research (quite a feat considering Dr. K is very cutting-edge). However,
nothing is guaranteed, so I want to give Dr. K a valiant try before
switching mid-stream. I know he is a very great doctor, one of the best,
with a great success rate. But, if it isn’t working for Jordan…
That’s where we are. Keep praying!
