Urinalysis, Ferratin and vitamin D results. The Ferratine is quite high and the vitamin D is low. I can supplement with Vitamin D , but how can I lower the Ferratine? And why is the body not absorbing the iron?

@Bernadette Abraham a clear and transparent one. Yet, no confirmation on which method actually works.

Initially, I’m not keen on 2 as implantation for a 7year old sounds crazy to me.

I’m between 1 and 3. It seems to me that they complete one another, yet the doctors don’t work together.

To examine and find the right treatment for mouth breathing, I went to three clinics, each of them provided us with the same diagnosis but a bit of different plan, with different period of time required and different cost. It becomes confusing trying to resolve which plan actually works and is effective.

Diagnosis: Child,7 year old, Mouth breathing, “incorrect facial and jaw development, including mid face deficiency, an underdeveloped maxilla, a small lower dental arch causing the lower anterior crowding, and crowding of both upper and lower teeth. TMD muscle tenderness is related to the reverse and incorrect swallowing pattern.”

Treatment Plan Clinic 1: ( ~AED16,500)

Airway records (not clear)

Myfunctional Therapy 12 sessions + Vivos guide with certified MYO therapist based overseas over Zoom.

Guide appliance. (not clear)

Palatal expansion

Treatment Plan Clinic 2: (~AED15K)

Lower arch dental expansion.

Selective extraction of one retained deciduous tooth determine if missing tooth (as per x-ray image) to be substituted by another tooth or replaced with Dental implant.

No clear comprehensive orthodontic treatment plan is shared at this stage.

Treatment Plan Clinic 3: (~AED22,000)

Breathing Program utilizing Myosa System and breathing exercises aimed to improve breathing. (8-12months)

Myofunctional Orthodontic Treatment using Myobrace System to promote normal growth and development of face and soft tissue dysfunction.

I’m aware he still has some issues in the gut according to Unilabs, which we’re following protocol for. The protocol doesn’t seem to be effective , since his stool is loose and acidic (it creates rashes in his skin), but that’s a story for separate post.

The Capillary Panel is a curious one as I haven’t come across it before and would like to understand in simple terms:

what it was?
what the abbreviations and the readings mean?
the situations do they usually test (we’ve been to the emergency room before but it was the first time this test was done!)? and what are the doctors trying to find out by having the test done?

he has recovered since, but has been having loose stool and burning leaving rashes.

he has a fever of 40Degrees, I rushed him to the hospital. They did this test along with nose swap and stool test which I requested at the time. The results were positive for Salmonella, Enteropathogenic E.Coli and Enterovirus/Rhinovirus PCR.

good tips. Will sure try that. I’m concerned about the blood sugar test. He’s afraid of needles and i’m sure his stress levels will go up at the time of test.

I saw the power point presentation and just want to confirm that the following tests are sufficient:

Helpful Lab Markers for Testing Blood Sugar Status:

• Fasting glucose
• Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) or Fructosamine or glycated albumin
• Fasting insulin or C-Peptide
• Triglycerides
• Glucose tolerance test
• HOMA-IR

Also, he constantly complains of being tired first thing in the morning despite being in bed by 8:00pm and releasing his energy during the day with activities.

thank you. It is direct now. Other symptoms: constant irritation. Anger. Frustration. Sweet craving. Forgetfulness. Night Bed wetting at times.

thank you. Interesting information. Yes, some of the symptoms are present! I sure pray it’s not diabetes.

Ophthalmologist didn’t mention migraines. He did have a headache few months ago. He felt that there was vibration with every step and move he took. I took him to the chiropractor who worked on his neck at the time since he was kicked in the face by his class mate. The floaters started before the incident. The blurry vision just last week.

I’ll check out the movie you’ve linked; however it takes me to the “all courses” page. May you directly me to the exact movie you’ve referred to?

Wow!  thank you. I knew there were other considerations to explore and that you would direct me towards them. I will work on all of the above and keep you posted.

What about the sudden blurry vision that comes and goes ? I thought of testing him for diabetes since his father was diagnosed with type 2 recently.

Thank you. I’ve contacted Hope clinic to book an appointment with Dr. Lilya Chub and will keep you posted.

In the meantime, any recommendations on a dermatologist who wouldn’t just prescribe steroids without doing proper investigation to the cause?

Also, working on the basis that my toddler has mold in his system, is it safe to start mold detox journey at his age, 20 months? If so, Can I work with you or anyone you can reccomend to start him on this journey and monitor it?

@Bernadette_Abraham  thank you, I’ll contact Valentina and check out the links.
