Last Tuesday we took Cuyler for a followup to the bio-med protocol that we started in August.
We saw her in September and things were good. We decided that it was time to add a few things. This is what his supplement schedule looks like now. Five capsules in the morning. Four capsules at dinner. He’s gained almost SIX pounds since August so his methyl B12 was increased. Injections on Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights.
I’m so proud of how easily and willingly he’s been taking capsules. And the needles? They’re nothing for him now.
This past Saturday was a bit of a shitshow at our house. It started first thing in the morning. I woke up to Cuyler screaming. Crying. Miserable. Pissing his brother and sister off. Destroying things. Agitated. Angry. Upset. It was relentless. After awhile, it was taking all my willpower to not yell. When all I wanted to so was scream my face off at him I had to go into the shower and escape for 20 minutes.
I was looking for leverage. I was desperate and serious. I told him that he would not be going to the birthday party of a classmate Sunday. I would not allow him to go because that behaviour was not acceptable ever, especially at a friends party. It didn’t change his behaviour and I knew it wouldn’t. There was just no way I could allow him to attend if that’s how he behaved.
It continued and I felt like I was losing my mind. Felt incompetent as his mother. Had no idea what to do.

I emailed the naturopath asking her if the supplements could be affecting him. She suggested we stop several of them for a week and see how he is. Then re-introduce them slowly. Which is what we should have done in the first place…but I wanted to jump in with 2 feet. Again.
Maybe not the best way. Lesson learned.
Sunday we woke up and for the first time since August gave him nothing as far as supplements.

I think it was just what his body needed.
We had a great day. A superb day.

He made me incredibly proud. Stay tuned…
Love the suspense! But c’mon – out with it!!!!
Christine you truly are amazing! I know there are times you may not feel that you are, but you really are. I don’t think I would have the strength, patience and understanding that you do. Cuyler is so lucky to have you as his mom.
I was JUST gonna say what Nancy did… and I’m glad Sunday was much better, dollface. That’s a big ball of suck though – I hope the week gets better and better. xox
hang in there christine. You are amazing – so glad Sunday was good.
