Morris Children

CASE STUDY – MORRIS CHILDREN
May 2001

Patients:  Same family:
One six (6) year old boy – John
Twins (boy and girl) four (4) years old – Carrie & Curt

Diagnosis from Medical Doctor:
ADD & ADHD

The parents had come to the conclusion, after much research, that vaccinations were the cause of their dysfunctions.  Because the MD had the children on several prescription drugs, and the diet was very restrictive, they decided to change doctors and go the natural route.

The parents were arguing all the time as the Mother went along 100% with the MD’s protocol and the Father was very upset because he felt that the children were in ‘prison’ and were not able to be “just children”. Someone suggested to them that they go to Oswego Center for Natural Health/Center for Enzyme Therapy and see Dr. Charlie Hallquist for functional nutrition.

The initial appointment determined the children were gluten intolerant, lactose intolerant, not digesting well, and most importantly, sad.

Dr. Charlie, being the old country doctor type, bonded immediately with the children.  The parents, however, were a problem because of their ideas of how to raise the children, find a happy medium to get them well, and let them be children.

First appointment:
Take them off all gluten, sugar and milk products and get their bodies in balance through Digestion, Absorption and Elimination.
Supplement Recommendations:
Digestive
3 capsules, 3x day (start of each meal)
ProDophilusFOS
2 capsules upon rising, 2 at bedtime
L-Taurine
5 drops, 2x day
Flax Seed Oil
1 capsule
Magnesium
1 capsule, 2x day
Epsom Salts
1 cup in bath at night (Because Epsom Salts is Magnesium, it very calming)

Second Appointment (2 weeks later):
Parents were pleased with the improvement in their digestion, feeling all around better, increased good energy and more importantly less ADD & ADHD symptoms.

Dr. Charlie and Dr. Lori, counseled with the parents and helped them come to an agreement wherein the children could have a slice of pizza, ice cream cone or whatever they desired once or twice a week.  If they went to a Birthday party or some other similar function, they could have some of the special treats.

Supplement recommendation:
Continued taking the supplements but added
Vitazyme
1 capsule with Breakfast

Third Appointment (1 month later):
It is a completely different family.  The children are happier and the parents are happier.  The children’s bodies were more in balance and their behavior was becoming more normal.

They were still maintaining their good eating regiment, along with having a treat once in a while.

Supplement recommendation:
Continued taking all the supplements

After six and one-half years since their first visit, they are still taking most of the same supplements.  The parents have been a little more tolerant with kinds of food, but they know their limitations and know signs when they get too many goodies.

They are like grandchildren to us now.
