You all know we've trying low doses of different brands of cilantro
along with dmsa rounds. We finished our last cilantro/dmsa round
last week and I had a little cilantro (half of a 2oz bottle) left
and after three days we went into an ala only round. ALA is given
EVERY 2-3 hours WITHOUT FAIL.

For two of the ala days I added a 1 ml dropper full of cilantro each
morning to my son's supplement routine (antioxidants and vitamins
A,C,E, Selenium, Zinc, EFA's) and for the first time when visiting
my brother's house, he KNOCKED opened the screen door for us and
KNOCKED on the door! He's never had the thought to KNOCK on the
door before. I was like, hmmmmmmm! :-) Was that just a fluke? But
as they weren't swift enough in answering he repeated after me when
I said, "Hello! Answer the door!" It was a little mumbled, but he
tried! Then he knocked again!

At home he also knocked on our door once before entering and again
later when he was in the door. Knocking takes some fine motor
skills, not to mention fair neurotransmission working to coordinate
a tap tap tap like that!

It's a little thing, but another step close to good cognition.

Just thot I'd share and encourage someone's morning.

I know not everyone has had a difference or positive effect from
trying chelation methods or cilantro, but I can only tell what we're
getting these days. Yes, when trying two different methods it is
difficult to say which has the most positive effect, but at least
it's progressive.

This morning my son has Playskool or Fisher Price's Alpha Spinner
that has some "spin and rap," music, which he always likes, along
with the graphics. He always has wanted the tv OFF while playing
with this toy, for sensory and "single input" only. He's now
listing to the "spin and rap music" and playing a toy piano to a
similar beat! I love it! Just amazing me.
