If your child is causing other children harm their is a proper way many teachers are thought to restarint a kid. Other wise I dont think you are suppposed to.

The doctors are right, this is a case that calls for tough love.  There is only so much you can do for her, the rest she has to want to do for her self.  You've given all you can and it is now time for you to claim back your life and concentrate on you.  You need to set boundaries with her and make it clear that any help she receives from you in the future will be based upon is it helping her help herself to get better.  If it isn't then she needs to fend for herself.  I know you feel guilty and all because she is your child but even a child shouldn't be allowed to take advantage of their parents.  You deserve to have a happy and wonderful life and you can't do that unless you let her make her own way in the world and you concentrate on your own life.

It should be fine, since that Chinese remedy is made up of tangerine rind and licorice root, and other food derivatives like barley.\n\nIt's really good for gastrointestinal issues.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. Let's treat the disease and not the symptoms for ONCE! Our society is composed of adults who are the product, more or less, of how they were raised. Proper parenting is the only way to create a lasting change in the society that will, in 20 years, be largely composed of the children of today. It goes further than abuse, though. It goes into teaching them accountability, responsibility, work ethic, independence, forming healthy relationships, financial responsibility... the list goes on. Thank you for bringing this up!

Yes, they can. However, they should maintain a close relationship with their health professional and/or counselor to make sure that their disorder is not affecting their parenting. If their symptoms are under control, there is no reason that they can't be a healthy parent.\n\nDr. Barb Nefer, http://www.bnlifeskills.com

I'm a RN who has taught Nursing for over 20 years in numerous clinical settings.  I am so sorry to hear about your father's health problems and I understand your concern about how to best manage the symptoms medically.  You have described his lab results and present symptoms very well.  Except for the constipation which can be quite easily managed, the remainder of his symptoms are significant CNS symptoms causing his brain dysfunction.  I agree with his doctors' provisional diagnosis based on the medical/clinical information you presented and also encourage you to facilitate chelation therapy  for your dad as soon as possible.  BAL is a harmless compound used for binding the mercuric ion to it but the therapeutic usefulness of BAL depends on its immediate administration at the acute onset of the mercury poisoning.   I think that it would be no longer useful for your dad.  I believe that your dad is experiencing chronic mercury poisoning  and Penicillamine may well be the drug of choice.  Penicillamine can be administered orally and appears to chelate mercury selectively, with considerably less effect on copper, which is essential to many metabolic processes.  Your dad's copper level was borderline low so you would want to preserve as much copper as possible which Penicillamine does.  Penicillamine has an advantage of being well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and promotes the excretion of mercury in the urine.  N-Acetyl-dl-penicillamine is even more effective than Penicillamine in protecting against the effects of mercury on the brain, probably because it is more resistant to metabolic degradation, and it has the advantage of being less toxic.  I'm not as familiar with the use of DMSA or DMPS as chelating agents for mercury removal from the brain.  Also you did not mention your dad's kidney function.  Mercury is highly toxic to the kidneys and I suggest that the functioning of his kidneys be evaluated.  I also suggest that your dad be assessed by a neurologist as soon as possible if that has not yet occurred due to the serious CNS symptoms that your dad is presently experiencing.  I wish your dad God's blessings and healing touch.  Good luck to you.

I don't know who told you health authorities found the practice safe - IT IS NOT!\n\nHealth Authorities ARE WARNING ITS A DANGEROUS THING TO DO!\nYou run the risk of death or living as a vegetable from brain damage when you screw up.., meaning someone will have to feed you, cloth you, clean you, you cant go and hang out with friends..., you have a non existent life.\n\nDO NOT RISK IT. Other kids who practice this will tell their friends that these warnings are just to get you to stop.\n\nAny time you shut off blood flow to the brain, there is a risk of death or brain damage.

Good for you being a concerned parent!  I think I've seen just about everything...that doesn't sound like parafenelia.  If you're concerned, sit down and have a talk with him.  If he's clean, he'll appreciate it.  If he's using, it will scare him a little.  Hopefully he's honest with you.  Best of luck!

NO! Think about it! How would someone manipulating an infant's spine help with this?? It just doesn't begin to make sense. I would never let someone manipulate my kid's spine for ANY reason. Ask any chiropractor who offers you this some RESEARCH and CLINICAL EVIDENCE (randomized trials) for this. Then ask  your doctor. It is NOT safe for kids to have their backs manipulated! Have you tried working on your child's diet??

I can tell you are already worried. Yes get him to a doctor. Babies are pretty resilient, but you don't want to mess around with this. He could have a blood clot or something if he ruptured any blood vessels when he fell. Better to be safe than sorry later. Nobody will fault you for taking him to the doctor, and little ones that age fall over often when trying to crawl or sit-up. Don't worry that anyone will think you were beating your baby. Just get him to a doctor.

Note, if any suggested solutions from anyone puts the child in more pain, that's not obviously a temporary push, stop immediately and consult a medical professional, preferably a pediatrician, or similarly skilled practitioner.\n\nI think ghostin007 means Castor Oil, which is very different than Castrol... Yes that works, but has a foul taste. Fruit that's juicy and fresh is often the most gentle approach, aside from [warm] water. Offer water, it'll help if the child will accept it, they may not if they've only gotten milk.\n\nIf it's not a blockage and is simply due to the digestive muscles squeezing uncomfortably, some solid food, like banana, or rice cereal, can help. Obviously it should be soft enough for the child to chew without strain on them.\n\nNursing of course can help. \n\nThere are also over the counter medications that work. If you're unsure ask the pharmacist.\n\nAlso note, that if the child isn't in any discomfort and simply isn't having bowel movements, don't be concerned, some children near that age can go a week and be fine. It's because they using every last ounce of milk for growth so none is making it out... The bacteria they only get when older helps them digest, and this'll slow bowel movements considerably for a while before becoming regular again.\n\nAs long as the child is alert to its enviroment, energetic, and happy it is healthy. If not consult a professional.

LOL that is the typical Asian mom. My mom wasn't overprotective, she was abusive. She would throw stuff and scream and poke me in the face with her finger. The only thing you can do is wait it out until you are 18, then leave and never look back. A lot of Asian kids forgive their mom for what she does, but I think they should start holding them to their deeds.

Well CookieMonster my advice may not be that ethical but I would suggest that you enroll your son in some sort of self defense course.  As a parent and previous kid yourself you most certainly must realize that if you get too involved that it will only work against your son and he will get the beats more often.  It is very sad that he was beaten so badly that he had to be hospitalized and I would hope that the school he attends has a zero tolerance on violence and that any child who becomes physically or emotionally abuse towards another is suspended.  My advice for self defense course is because it will help to build your sons self esteem as well as better prepare himself in case of future attacks.  He might really enjoy taking boxing lessons and actually get to meet some new friends also.  I cannot speak of this other young man who is suppose to be a friend and whether or not he set your son up, but if he did then it would be wise for your son to stay away from him also.  But if he is sitting with one of the bullies as a measure of his own self preservation then he just isn't mature enough at present to understand the meaning of being a true friend.  Hopefully by involving the police in this latest incident you have somehow put some fear into these others who might want to attack your son and so this will cease and desist.  Kids can be very mean and think they are so tough by beating on younger or weaker kids.  But Karma has a way of balancing things out and hopefully in time they will learn that what they have done has consequences.  Best of luck to you and I hope that your son is going to be alright and gets many well wishes from his real friends while he is in the hospital.

It's pretty obvious you won't get reliable answers on this forum. WHY would you ask people who have NO clue about your childs disease? Ask the doctor who is treating her, and don't delay treatment by following stupid answers like drinking green tea.
