The Truth About PCA-PX Is Complicated

Author: mom_to_one, 04 30th, 2013

354(3)There is a lot of information on the Internet regarding the proper usage of the product known as PCA-RX; some of this information is conflicting and confusing, while other information seems to be too geared towards selling the product. There are a number of chemicals and substances included in PCA-RX that are truly beneficial for the body.

These substances have been through research that has had positive results, alongside anecdotal evidence that has suggested that PCA-RX is worth usage. That being said, everyone’s body is different and it’s entirely possible that some people have different reactions to PCA-RX than others, which is why there may be some conflicting information out there.

Dialysis As Heavy Metal Detox

Author: mom_to_one, 04 09th, 2013

AlgaeThere are a number of alternative medicine practitioners that believe in certain methods of heavy metal detoxification, though many of these ideas are not supported by conventional medicine or basic science. Some of these ideas include detoxifying the body of heavy metals through changes in one’s diet, and chelation therapy is also often discussed.

While chelation therapy is, on occasion, used by conventional medicine practitioners to remove toxic heavy metals from the body, a heavy metal detox is usually handled through different types of techniques. One of those techniques is through dialysis, which is a general way of removing harmful abnormalities from the blood.

Switching To PCA-PX

unnamedI’ve been researching alternatives to chelation therapy for my nephew. I am concerned about his present treatments being a little too much for him. He’s only four-years-old and no child of his age should have to be intravenously treated if there is another viable option available out there. I’ve been posting on online forums asking other parents of children with autism what they recommend as an alternative.

One mother told me that her child switched to PCA-RX with encouraging results. It’s a natural toxin removal treatment that is administered orally and his no known side-effects. Her child responded well to it and is now doing well with speech and is able to attend regular classes in school. I told my sister about it and she asked her son’s doctor to switch to it. It’s been a couple of weeks since my nephew switched to PCA-RX and he is steadily showing improvements in his speech patterns and is more focused when doing schoolwork. I’m glad he’s responding well to it and hopefully he will continue to progress at this rate.

Alternative Treatments

Many people with autistic children are looking toward alternative medicine these days for potential treatments. While the effectiveness of these treatments is not completely scientifically confirmed, there are a number of people who have expressed that they have seen positive results in children with autism spectrum disorder that have used these alternative medicines.

One of these alternative medicines is PCA-RX, which is a natural alternative to chelation therapy, intended to remove harmful toxins derived from heavy metals, which some believe increase the symptoms of autism. Other than autism, PCA-RX has also been used to treat heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and other disorders and diseases.

Chelation Therapy

Is chelation therapy right for your autistic child? That is a question that is best answered by a physician; however, many parents have noticed a change in their child’s behavior once the heavy metal toxins have been purged from their system. PCA-Rx is one such chelation medication that has been used safely and effectively with children.

As stated previously, make sure to consult with your child’s pediatrician. Chelating agents can be dangerous if used improperly. For instance, disodium EDTA in place of calcium EDTA can cause fatalities related to hypocalcaemia.

Tackling Neurotoxins and Bacteria

For several years, members of the scientific community have found links between autism and neurotoxins and bacteria found in the gut. For instance, in 2004, a study was published by the head of the Food Microbiology Sciences Unit at the University of Reading that stated: “We have good evidence to show that children with autism have a gut flora which produces toxins, and that neurotoxins and bacteria in the gut are producing this metabolite.”

To combat this harmful gut flora, taking probiotics has been recommended. Certain probiotics – which introduce healthy bacteria – may combat clostridium which is a harmful bacterium. Probiotics, in conjunction with cleanses, may help restore balance to a digestive tract.

Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Diet

There is so much that is not known about autism. It seems that nearly every week there is a new study out revealing some new fact not previously known. For example, autistic children born in the 1990s are more likely to have gastrointestinal problems than autistic children born in the 1980s.

This has led some parents to remove gluten and dairy from their autistic children’s diets. Some parents claim this has eliminated many behavioral issues, but most parents who see a difference claim that it only eliminates GI tract problems – which are still a great relief to the parents and children. To cleanse the body of other toxins, try chelation, such as PCA-Rx.

Natural Heavy Metal Detox

We are naturally exposed to heavy metal toxins every day. Toxins are in our food and the air we breathe. In low doses, they don’t cause problems, but over time if they are allowed to build up in the system they can cause headaches, fatigue, and anemia.

Just as we are naturally exposed to heavy metal toxins, we also have natural heavy metal detox options. For instance, fruits, such as apples, are high in pectin, which is a fiber that binds itself to heavy metals and causes the body to expel waste. Leafy green vegetables are high in vitamin C, another good choice for expelling heavy metal toxins. Finally, the sulfur found in fresh garlic can also aid in removal. Use these ingredients in your diet and you should be able to ward off the negative effects of heavy metals.

Guilt, Anger, and Frustration

Parenting a child with autism is a daunting task. Your child has unique challenges that you probably did not experience with your other children. This can cause quite a bit of stress for you and strain your relationships with others. Compacting this stress are often feelings of guilt, anger, and frustration.

It is not uncommon for parents to ask what they could have done differently to prevent their child from being autistic. They’ll feel frustration with the progression their child’s development or lack thereof. When these feelings get overwhelming, take a deep breath and remind yourself that it is not your fault. There is nothing a parent can do to prevent autism. It is also advisable to seek professional counseling for yourself and for your spouse and non-autistic children.

PCA-Rx and Liver Function

Author: mom_to_one, 12 06th, 2011

Whenever trying a new supplement, it is important to ask questions. With PCA-Rx one question that frequently comes up is: “Will PCA-Rx cause liver congestion?” The answer is no.

PCA-Rx actually encourages healthy liver function. It has been used effectively by patients who suffer from various liver ailments. Think of PCA-Rx working in conjunction with the liver – your body’s natural filter – rather than against.
