I just wanted to weigh in on Ted's remedies for Cerebral Palsy.

My son has spastic quadriplegia and is nearly 4 years old. We've been trying movement therapies such as DMI, whole body vibration, and alternative medical therapies such as HBAT/HBOT. We've seen great results, and yet I am totally floored by the immediate changes I observed in my son after just three days of beginning Ted's protocol.

We started with Magnesium L-Threonate. I give my son one capsule per day in a tonic formula he has been taking for over a year that includes vitamin c, zinc and b vitamins as well as a high quality pair of extractions of lion's mane mushroom.

The most immediate thing that I realized was that my son's immense thirst abated. He had always been very thirsty, which I had not realized could have been a sign of imbalance in his kidneys. Active, typical children are not as thirsty as my son. Now his thirst is less urgent.

The second thing I noticed was that his body was much floppier. He had started to achieve very good proximal (core) stability and distal stability through the movement therapy, and suddenly (within three days of taking the magnesium) even his physiotherapist was commenting on his fatigue. His ankles, which had always been fairly stiff, were so floppy that he was walking on the side and top of his foot. I was having trouble getting his shoes on, and they would come off twice as often. This was indicative of a very significant change in tone. Many children who rely on high tone will have to relearn how to move again after interventions like SDR/PERCS surgeries that decrease their spasticity. This happened to my son without surgery in a span of three days.

I am looking forward to introducing other ingredients from Ted's protocol, but I have questions. For one, is Magnesium Chloride (I assume from food-grade nigari) necessary to take alongside magnesium L-threonate? How does one determine if ammonia has been sufficiently reduced to begin DMSO, for example? Is there an obvious threshold on ammonia testing strips? And how does one handle the MAOI effects of methylene blue within this protocol (ACV contains tyramine). I'm also curious if methylene blue can affect iron levels since I periodically supplement my son with iron. Thanks so much.
