SID - Overly Sensitive to sounds, loud-noises, bright-light, touch (clothing/physical), foods, textures, smell/odors

Gustatory sensitivity self-imposed diet - immature chewing - often craves for the food which most likely allergic to, unable to eat new or certain food due to texture, sometime stuff mouth with food until vomiting -

Temper Tantrums - Nail Biting - scratching - picking of wounds

Hyperactivity: fidgetiness, constant motion, rocks, jiggles legs, dances, wriggles hands, runs does not walk, walk on toes, in infancy crib rocking or head knocking.

Excitability-Impulsivity: panic easily. Low tolerance for failure, demands must be met immediately, and diminished ability to experience pleasure.

Short span attention, inability to concentrate: flits from one object to another, unable to seat through a school period, meetings, meals, TV program.

Poor sleep habits: difficulties going to bed hard to fall asleep, easily awakened, sleep interrupted by nightmares and crying out, will fear sleep.

Perseveration: cannot be diverted from an action, even when life-threatening, punishments fail but create severe tantrums, will repeat identical act that was punished for. Compulsive repetition of an activity.

3. MUSCLE INCOORDINATION

Gross motor: exceptionally clumsy, trips when walking, walk only on the toes, collides with objects, cannot bicycle, swim or function in sports, and seats in "W" while playing or watching TV.

Fine motor: poor eye hand coordination, difficulty with buttoning and tying laces, writing and drawing, speech is less developed or fluent, stuttering, enunciation difficulties, reading is slow – dyslexia - numbers & words.

Disturbance in spatial orientation: up-down; right-left- inside-out.

During pregnancy and the first two years of life the brain is extremely vulnerable and should be protected as much as possible. That is why medication during and after pregnancy like Pitocine to induce labor and especially vaccination are so toxic.   
Even energetic imprints in the energetic field of the father and the mother before pregnancy can be transmitted to the child by energetic transfer.

Healing the Sensitive Child

1. Elimination of toxins from undigested foods (sensitive to) and heavy metals with detoxification and chelation.  Natural supplements: Methyl-B-12, Folinic acid, DMG. TMG. Zinc.
2. Nutritional Therapy
   Whole, organic, nutrient-dense foods must be eaten.  Avoid tuna, swordfish, mahi-mahi, shark (mercury). Eat only hormones growth-antibiotics free meat, not treated with arsenic or irradiate. Eat only organic fruits or vegetables to avoid pesticides or herbicides. Wholesome foods have the amazing abilities to restore proper metabolic function.
   
   No allergenic foods. Check for food sensitivities and intolerances. These allergenic foods are very upsetting for the brain.. Most common food allergies are: gluten, wheat, soy, corn, nuts, dairy ,meat, eggs, yeats. Gluten is found in wheat, oats, barley, rye, spelt, and kamut
   Many sensitive children suffer from Fungal Dysbiosis. : Recurrent infections (runny nose, colds, ears, sinusitis, broncho) and use of many antibiotics, Chronic Diarrhea, Constipation, decreased cognitive functions, or brain frog, low energy, gas, bloating, depression, anxiety, fatigue.
   
   Avoid Yeast-proliferating foods because excess candida (yeast overgrowth) act as fungus in intestines, colons harms digestive system and send toxins to the body and brain (Neurotoxins).
3. Gluten-free, casein-free foods (no wheat no dairy) if sensitivity. A simple removal of these for a month to see if any difference results in the child behavior, learning, sleeping, digestion. For some children, these foods cause horrible neurological and gastrointestinal problems.
4. Eliminate Simple Carbohydrates like simple sugars are eliminates to stabilize blood sugar often low (hypoglycemia) in most children whom develop insuline resistance and upset the gastrointestinal systems (yeast/candida). Choose organic agaves or maple syrup or raw honey as sweetener when baking.  Don’t give juices, many contain High Fructose Corn Syrup or corn syrup and corn is a common allergen. There are NO Health benefits to drink a reconstituted juice, unless you make it from fresh and only use agave or stavia as sweetener. 
   
   Obesity and Diabetes have become a pandemic since the use HFCS, a cheap sugar made from corn which as been added in all processed food and snacks. A child eats in average 60lbs of sugar per year converting a third of this into fat body tissue. http://www.how-sugar-is-made.com/sugarconsumption.html. Reintroduce fresh seasonal fruits & vegetables, organic preferably to eliminate danger of pesticides. Cook fruits if child under 1 year old. Fruits and vegetables contain in their pulp compounds that help the digestion and absorption of the nutrients (minerals & vitamins)


5. No Soft Drinks – carbonated drinks- contains Artificial COLORS and artificial sweeteners: ASPARTAMES- NUTRASWEET – SPLENDA- They are nerve system irritant and can affected some people as adversely as mono-sodium glutamate MGS. Avoid even the ones made with natural sugar because it increases the daily sugar intake.  Blue No.1 is coal-tar derivative caused tumors in animals at the site of injection. Plus soft drinks have contributed for an increase in bones fractures among teenagers. (Osteoporosis)


6. No HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) contains sulfates or Corn Syrup found in cereals and soft drinks, juices, breads, hotdog. Corn is a common allergen in children. There strong evidence of a correlation between the increasing of Insulin Resistance and Type 1&2 Diabetes in children.


7. NO Fast-food or chain restaurants. MOST USE the BAD ingredients you want to eliminate from your child diet.


8. Avoid all Synthetic (artificial) COLORS (exp: #Yellow, blue, red, etc..)  And Synthetic Flavor (exp: vanillin, caramel etc..) and Synthetic PRESERVATIVES mostly founded in processed food. BHA, BHT, TBHQ, Benzoate, Nitrates, Sulfates, Sulfur, Mono Glutamate Sodium( MGS ) found in Drugs, Vitamins, Cosmetics, Body care, Baked goods and frozen dishes, Cold cuts, meats, sauces, deserts, gelatins, puddings, ice cream, candies, gums etc…for more information on neuro-toxicity please visit www.ewg.org/


9. Avoid all synthetic Fragrances in daily Body care, sun lotions, lips balms, deodorants, air fresheners and diffusers, detergents and softeners.  www.ewg.org/2010sunscreen


10. Make sure your child is well grouded to the earth. Static electricity may give rise to both emtional/mental disorders and physical complaints. Synthetic clothing, isolating shoes(rubber or plastic soles) and synthetic coverings should therefore be avoided. If possibble, have your child walk around barefoot.


11. Eliminate all electric appliances in the bedrom such as electric alarm clocks, TV, computers or audio equipment. Provide a healthy sleeping facility for child. A healthy bed should not contain metal. If possible, have your child facing north or east. A dark room is important for the production of melatonin(sleep hormones).


12. Avoid antibiotics since they impair intestinal flora and consequently increase underlying problemes. In case of infection, opt for naturopathic solutions. For more information on solutions to support your child click on these links :

Naturals supplements to add to the diet:

Multivitamins and Minerals:

A (such in codfish oil or Carotenes)

B6 & B12

C - Vitamin C stimulates iron absorption. The general rule is not more than 1000 mg per year of age. So a child of four year can be given 4000 mg a day divided over three doses a day. That means three times an ascorbate of 1000mg and 3 times ascorbylpalmitate of 500mg (which is 3x 200mg of vitamin C). That makes 3600 mg per day. At 6 years and older the maximum dose I advise it still 6 grams a day, which is generally enough to attain our goal.

D3 - up to 1000 IU

E - 400 - 800 IU

Chelated Calcium 1000mg /Magnesium 500mg

Zinc - up to 4 year 10mg - from 4-8 year 20mg - then after 8 year of age 30mg.

Antioxidants (CoQ10)

Essential Fatty Acids EFA/DHA omega3 (Fish oil) 500mg per day.

Probiotics and Enzymes to support the digestive system.

Herbal supplements to kill fungus and yeast infection OR medications when necessary.

L-Tyrosine or 5-HTP or St John Wort to help with focus and moods.

*Before taking any of these make sure you discuss these with your PCP or Naturopatic Doctor.

Testing Recommendation

These are some of the tests available by a Naturopathic Doctor, ND Cytotoxic, Immunotoxic, Neurotoxin, and Genotoxic, Organic acid Analysis Specific IgG & IgE Antibody Assessment for Food, Inhalants, Spices&Herbs, Candida Specific Antibodies and Antigen Panel.

I recommend that your child go through these tests :

Testing for Vitamins & Minerals deficiency – Blood test
Testing for Hypoglycemia – Blood test
Testing for Heavy Metals overload- Blood test – Urine -Hair- and a Challenge Test
Testing for Yeast Overgrowth- IgG and IgE test
Testing for Food sensitivity and other allergies – IgG test- Blood test, skin test and by challenge testing: remove suspected 1 allergic/sensitive food for a week, then re-introduce it and observe reaction.

Beside these tests, you might request a complete Neuro-psychological evalution to determine if your child needs additional support with learning. To most parents with a sensitive child, it is often very challening to make the necessary changes in diet, yet if the entire family partake to the new life-style it helps making the transition.
