The antibiotics wipe out all bacteria in the gut, good and bad, so the acidophilus helps replenish the good bacteria. When I was on a long antibiotic treatment for Lyme, the acidophilus keep me from getting yeast infections and diarrhea. It was very helpful. Just a thought. Wishing you all the best and positive energy!

He was four. I cried my eyes out. It will come... someday, somehow, he will articulate to you in no uncertain terms (typed? spoken? signed?) that he loves you. Take care and hang in there - Peace!

I intend to have Sage's hair run. The thing about it is not that we have a toxic level in our house (at least, we don't think so), but rather that his body can't process a "normal" level of metals like those of us with fully functioning immune systems. The hair test shows a snapshot of the past 3 months, so it's got to be this house. She said with a level this high, it's got to be something he's exposed to on a regular basis.

I wanted to be all sweet and huggy right off the bat, but I'm too worried about the rest of you. Can your doctor tell how long the lead poisoning has been going on? Since you moved semi-recently, I'm just wondering if the problem is at your old house. Did you and Sage get tested?!
