Bex I will tell u for a fact that I think she is a lot like me in terms of personality if u can say that about a 9 yo. Similair spiritualy i guess, u feel the conenction. I think she might have a similair outlook on life to mine once she grows up.
Also she's (diagnosed) ADHD - surprise, surprise... She did get all her vaccinnes, her mother had pregnancy issues for the most part (Dominica was born on the 37th week so the pregnancy was just barely barely) and I remember her having at least one very small amalgam filling.
For many, mercury poisoning begins in the womb of their mothers and this, depending on the child being more or less sensitive/suseptible can set them up for problems from the very start. Which is what I believe happened with me.
Then add vaccines to the picture, and you can see how so many of these disorders can take place. Hyperactivity, autism etc. They all have a cause and mercury can indeed be one of them (probably one of the main causes). Then later add amalgams and really how many kids escape it?
Yesterday I went to the cinema with her cuse she wanted to see a movie badly - of course she understood more from it than I as i was all semi conious and spaced out from candida toxins, with brain pressure etc... but let's leave that - and after the movie she wanted to buy her M&M's. I said what the hell and bought it. Before that she drank a juice and ate popcorn during the movie. And she was so sweet and loving, and warmhearted syaing 'thank u' for going with her and all that.
Few hours later? Moody, irritable, out of touch - just jumping, dancing, not paying attention, her stepdad tellig her a million of times to get dressed (she stays with us for the afternoons sometimes). Later on the phone she was also grumpy.
She's also frequently sick, and even abnormalities show up on her blood count.
Could well be candida. If she has a factor like mercury going on, then candida is pretty much onboard automatically. I don't know many people with mercury who don't suffer with candida. The blood level sugar spikes with candy type sugars are the worst for disrupting balance and also feeding yeast. I remember once, when I wasn't quite as bad immune wise, I was still able to consume some forms of carbohydrates and popcorn was one of them. Though I can't do that now, because my diet is so much more restrictive with ALL high carbs, I could then. So popcorn is probably a much better choice for any treats, than any direct candy/chocolate like M&Ms. If she has such reactions, then it would be kinder to her (though she won't think so), to just keep to potatoe chips and popcorn type treats. I did fine on them once, even though I still had to eliminate sugar, wheat/gluten and yeast. She maybe just fine on fruit intake also.
It's rather sad that you, as an Uncle, have to keep your mouth shut over things like this for fear of being labelled a psycho. Yet I can see you care for her very much and do not wish for her to go down the road of suffering that you've gone down. Already dramatic symptoms are there and she's just a kid. Pity, because she really needs someone who is very aware of diet and could help her a lot. She would of course protest, because there are not many children who dislike sweets/chocolate, but for her own good and help of her health and behaviour, it's being kind, not cruel. And there are ways of finding natural good tasting treats too.
Carob etc. Sunshine is a good one for finding those things out
It sounds like slow acting natural carbs are fine for her (popcorn etc), so she'd likely be just fine with natural healthy treats and simply steering clear of the direct junk.
You may not be able to change the parents or even speak to them about this - but at least you can be an Uncle to the girl and when she's around you, try and just give her natural treats. I know it won't change much, considering it'll be undone when she gets back home, but it'll be interesting to monitor her when she's consuming better foods and later, as she gets older, she may find she needs you even more and your advice could prove a godsend to her. Especially if she winds up down a road of suffering with health problems.
