You can find out more about it at www.liquidzeolite.org Although zeolites have been used in powdered form in both human and animal nutrition, this is the first time one has been made that will enter the blood stream and reach all areas of the body. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I use this product every day and have notice an increase in energy and over all sense of well being. What it did for my cat, however, was rather miraculous. She is 15 years old and about four years ago began to slow down and gain a lot of weight. She had trouble jumping up on my bed and quit walking from my bed across the credenza to her favorite spot on the chest of drawers by the window. She wanted to spend a lot of time in my lap being petted, and lost interest in going out in the yard, her other favorite place. Then about 2.5 years into this she started to throw up after she ate. This was constant but did not result in any weight loss. I'd just had two friends loose their cats to cancer after similar symptoms and after spending a lot of money on vet bills. Since I don't have a lot of money for vet bills I had just accepted that she would die in a few months and I began to think about where in the yard to dig her grave. After I started trying the liquid zeolite, I decided to see if it would help my kitty so I put it in her water dish. Three days later she stopped throwing up. About a week later I noticed she was losing weight and wanted to go outside. Then a couple weeks into it she ran into my bedroom and jumped up on the bed just like a young and spry kitty should. Then she decided to take a trip to the chest of drawers and was so happy she could do it she just kept walking back and forth. I am no longer looking for a spot for her grave, at least not for a few more years. If I forget to put the drops in her water for a few days she starts to throw up agai&lt;/p&gt;

Does anyone have any information on the Chelating foot pads that are advertised on TV and sold at Walgreens and health food stores? They claim to drag heavy metals out of the foot into the pads while you sleep. After reading the above article I am concerned that too much calcium may be dragged from the body resulting in dire concequences; or perhaps they are another scam. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The other solution to heavy metals in our system is an infrared sauna and a shower afterwards with a good scrubbing down so that residues do not enter the body again afterwards. &amp;nbsp;Only infrared sauna now, not the steam sauna. &amp;nbsp;Infrared sauna is at least four times more effective and much more comfortable to use.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And I don't think that lumping this in w/ children who have autism as described by Dr. Campbell-McBride (in her GAPS theory) helps anyone - for reasons you have mentioned, including the horrible specter (&amp;amp; likelihood) of prenatal diagnosis of the &amp;quot;autism gene.&amp;quot; &amp;nbsp;It doesn't benefit NTs to think that those w/ AS are just weird and we have a good reason to avoid you - no, you're normal, just different, and it benefits all of us to learn to accept, respect, &amp;amp; cherish you &amp;amp; all your strengths &amp;amp; weaknesses, as with *any* person. &amp;nbsp;It doesn't benefit As's to need to be &amp;quot;fixed&amp;quot; &amp;amp; it doesn't benefit vaccine- or otherwise-damaged children to be told they don't need fixing b/c they're normal &amp;amp; fine. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The GAPS theory is fascinating - there is so much more to it than thimerosol. &amp;nbsp;C-sections, separation at birth, formula, vaccines, antibiotics, sugar, processed foods - inheriting the effects of all these from your mother &amp;amp; then having them yourself ... they all throw off the gut flora, starving the brain of crucial nutrients. &amp;nbsp;Children thrust into an autism w/ was not manifesting at birth deserve to have a shot at returning to the life they once knew. &amp;nbsp;At the same time, all of us owe it to ourselves and others to learn to accept and love people of every sort. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &amp;quot;high&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;low&amp;quot; functioning terms seem like someone's attempt to make the distinction between the two situations. &amp;nbsp;What do you suggest? &amp;nbsp;What works better? &amp;nbsp;ITA that function is subjective - &amp;amp; doesn't matter when assessing someone's worth, anyway. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you for the discussion.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Maybe one day they will get it right. &amp;nbsp;Until then proceed with caution. &amp;nbsp;Regular doctors may be good for diagnosis, and then we will treat ourselves. &amp;nbsp;No KILLER doctors.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have a husband who has been diagnosed with Asperger's and our daughter received the same diagnosis a month later at the age of 4 1/2. &amp;nbsp;She did have language delay (both expressive and receptive) after experiencing autistic regression including language loss just after her 2nd birthday. &amp;nbsp;My husband (computer guy) has regressed also in his thought patterns, behaviors, and temper. &amp;nbsp;He was receiving flu shots yearly with a new job with &amp;quot;good&amp;quot; healthcare coverage in 2001...he will soon be seeing our daughter's DAN! doctor. &amp;nbsp;According to my college correspondence course from Seattle Pacific University, &amp;quot;40% of Asperger's have a significant language delay but end up with average expressive and receptive language skills by age 5 or 6.&amp;quot; &amp;nbsp;My daughter's autism regression reversed suddenly when I took her off &amp;quot;cold turkey&amp;quot; of her addiction: DAIRY in the November 2005...it was remarkable: she became ticklish again, started feeling pain, cutdown on temper tantrums from 14 a day to maybe one, gained new words just 5 days off of dairy (she was down to 8-10 words), became affectionate, and she stopped tripping everywhere. &amp;nbsp; She is on a GFCF nearly soy-free diet. &amp;nbsp;4 rounds of DMSA chelation therapy by suppository has brought her out of another mini 3 month regression which we believe was caused by colloidal silver recommended by our naturopath. &amp;nbsp;Her eye contact came back after chelation therapy and more compliance along with better receptive and expressive language skills. &amp;nbsp;(We haven't tried DMPS yet or transdermal creams while IV chelatin would be scary for her.) &amp;nbsp;My daughter's biggest problem according to labs is lack of detoxification. &amp;nbsp; I believe this was caused by childhood vaxs plus a flu shot that I had while pregnant with her and a flu shot she received at 20 months (her 3 older siblings and one younger do not have autism). &amp;nbsp;She was the only child to receive her MMR &amp;amp; varicella on the same day resulting in a rash &amp;amp; her hyperactivity started around that time.&lt;/p&gt;
