Child Case Study 7G
Autism. Food Sensitivity. OCD. Sensory Issues. Speech Delay.
"Not that much tantrums - less shouting and yelling.Temperament has improved.
Overall, he has come a long way!
Home teaching is better now. Attention has quite improved. No more staring into space.
Stimming very much reduced. Flapping much less now. Hitting is less now.
Violent tendency not as vigorous as it was before.
Most of the time he follows instructions.
I think coping is much better now.
Pronunciation little improved. For sure, I can understand him clearly.
Detoxification - initially I was not very sure. But now, I kind of believe in it.
I still think that as time goes by, probably he will benefit more. I have the trust in the product."

Detoxification Notes
Interviews on Detoxification
"Excessive drooling. Drooling happened too much. Then he started mouthing almost everything."
Mother: Excessive drooling. He, as a baby, has not drooled and not mouthing anything when he was a baby. He started drooling when he was writing and his mouth was open. Drooling happened too much. Then he started mouthing almost everything. Even a book, blanket, ;pencil eraser tissue.
Now, I feel the drooling has stopped. It is not as rigorous as it was.
Now it has almost kind of stopped. But mouthing is still there, but not at the level that he was doing initially.
Drooling lasted for almost two months.

"Rashes on both sides by corners of his lips."
Mother: He had rashes on both sides by the corners of his lips. He licked them with his tongue. I am not sure if the rash came from the detoxification. Sometimes they got dry. Just on the skin, not on the lip.
Mother: The rashes came like a month back. It stayed on. On and off, it went off. I do not see the redness. When I touch, it was dry. Again, it’s coming back. Just below the lower lip (photo sent via Consultation Support WhatsApp chatgroup)

"The other major thing that I noticed is his eyes itching - he says eyes are hurting."
Mother: The other major thing that I noticed is his eyes itching. Nowadays, very less, like maybe one episode a day - he says eyes are hurting.
He had it maybe for 3 weeks or so. I put koo energy Spray, but he did not like it. He was covering.
Sometimes it was right eye, for a week. Then the left. He’s always saying itching, and crying using tissue paper to wipe it

"Initially, he was sleeping nicely for 9 hours.
But then, a month back, his sleep was disrupted."
But then, a month back, his sleep was disrupted."
Mother: Initially, he was sleeping nicely for 9 hours.
But then a month back, his sleep was disrupted. He was waking at very odd hours. Maybe around 6 o’clock, he would go back to sleep. Something like that.
But now, since about 2 weeks, he is fine and his sleeping is fine.
Just that today and yesterday, he woke up at 5 o’clock. But I think that is because his sleep is finished and he doesn’t want to sleep anymore. It is not like there was any issues with his sleep.
But then there was a time in between when his sleeping pattern was terrible. I did not write about it.
Consultant: It is ok as long as you can cope. It is very common among user of koo energy Sleep Therapy. As long as he gets to go back to sleep to catch up if necessary, it is fine.
The good thing about primary user is: no matter how disturbed his sleep is, by 6 o o’clock he is up and running.
Terrible sleep of 2nd month lasted for a week.

"He had fever 3 different times. All the time he was having running nose."
Mother: There was a time that ran up for 3-4 weeks. When he’s eating, he was putting it out the food - not closing his mouth and eating. He was doing something, and then all the food got around his mouth - that was happening.
Now, it is ok. He’s getting back to closing his mouth and eating now. Now it has stopped.

Mother: First time, fever out of the blue. All of a sudden, he got fever. It was there for one day. Then he was fine the next day onwards.

"Since first week, he was already scratching his ears."
Mother: Something has come out. Not regularly. But on and off he does - he walks in a very peculiar way. Maybe he’s tiptoeing, something like that - before he did not do. Or maybe he tries to walk in a crooked leg.
Consultant: This is not by chance.. There could be days when detoxification intensifies - there are needles and pins sensation.
(We did see that in some children who previously did not have tiptoeing, then on it appeared in certain days, but after that it went off.)

He wakes up in the middle of the night as he seems to have enough sleep. |
First month of Sleep Therapy, he was sleeping through the night. But second month, it was on and off. This month - the third month. Again long sleep is there. |
He does not fall asleep easily, unless he is very tired from school. Takes 1/2 hour to 1 1/2 hour to fall asleep. |
Initially, when we started, he used to fall asleep quicker. Now it takes some time. Some days 30 minutes, some days 45 minutes. That continues. |
Mumbling mostly. |
Mumbling at bedtime is becoming less. Yesterday he did a little bit. But then overall it is less. |
Throwing his arms and legs while lying down. He used to kick mum lying next to him. |
Now, very less now. Some days, it is not there at all. Overall it is very less. |
It has been there since a very age. He never closes his mouth. When I say close, he will shut his lips. But then almost all the time, it is open. Saliva coming down too. Drooling was there but not much. |
I feel it is close. Whenever I observe before I go to sleep, it is close. Even in the daytime, it is close. |

"I think the grip is much better now."
Consultant: Any changes in his handwriting? In the way he is holding pencil or pen?
Mother: I think the grip is much better now. Handwriting is different sizes now.
Initially, when we started Sleep Therapy, he was writing good. But now, it is all over the place. Height of the letters are not the same - some big, some small. Space between letters - too much.
That time he did well, we praised him.
Consultant: Before picture of his handwriting and after Sleep Therapy need to be analysed to see if his visual distortion has been corrected.
Motivation is a factor. If I am forced to write something over and over again, I will not take it seriously. But if limited to one masterpiece, I will do very well. Convey the message, and you will be able to see his true colours of his eye power.

Conclusion
"Now, I kind of believe in detoxification. I have trust in the product."
Consultant: First, expectation. Was it met at all?
Mother: I think I was too hopeful. But I know that it has to run its course - that I understood over time.
Detoxification - initially I was not very sure. But now, I kind of believe in it. I still think that as time goes by, probably he will benefit more.
I have the trust in the product.
Unless everything (toxic load) gets cleared, I do not think he can cope up with everything.
