Well here goes, I will try to post my son's case.

He is 8 years old and has problems controlling his bowels- he has always had this problem in tha he neve really properly 'toilet trained'. He also to a lesser degree has problems with bladder control, the days have got better recently but now he wets the bed at night about twice a week.

General description-

He is tall, wirey and fairhaired. He has fine features and freckles.

Personality wise he is shy, quiet and quite nervy and edgy. He can concentrate on things hat interest him but often has trouble with concentration.

He likes a cuddle, but is very fidgety. He loves to be stroked.

He enjoys sport and is quite athletic.

He is untidy and disorganised but very fussy about others peoples mess and germs etc.

His handwriting is untidy but he is quite artistic.

At night when asleep he sweats a lot particularily on his head and face.

He complains of headaches, especially in the car.

Brief Life History -

He was born by emergency caesarian section 'feotal distress'. He appeared to be a very angry and restless baby and didn't settle to the breast but was better at 6 weeks when we gave up and gave a bottle!

Innoculations -

I was nervous about giving him the pertussis vaccine as there is a family history of childhood epilepsy.

The doctor agreed to give him diptheria and tetanus together and pertussis separately and later.

He had 3 x Dip and tetanus
and 2 x pertussis jabs

At 1 year he had MMR

Obviously I only became aware of bowel and bladder problems when he started toilet training. it's hard to explain, but he only seemed to be part trained he never seemed to realise when he needed 'the toilet' until it was too late or he had to run.

At 4 adn a half years he went for a pre-school booster. I thought this was just diptheria and tetanus, but when they had done the injections they told me that he had been given a second MMR as well (that was the first year that the MMR booster was introduced).

Soon after he started school and continued to have problems with bowels and bladder. Now it was considered to be a psychological problem by the health professionals,

We became increasingly exasperated in Feb 1999 we took him for a course of cranial osteopathy. This seemed to help a lot and he became a calmer happier boy and the toilet problem eased but not resolved.

Over the past year I have heard a lot about innoculation damage and started reading about it.

I would like to add now that because of my suspicions about the MMR. He has been taking MMR in potency 30c once a week (Friday) for the last 4 weeks. After the first dose he became worse within 24hrs (bowel incontinence). Thereafter he seemed to suffer what I felt was 'aggravation' of his symptoms each time he took a dose.

In some ways this is encouraging but I wonder if he ought to be improving by now??

ALso he seems to experience more emotional outbursts (previously he was very emotionally closed). Now he cries more easilyand tells me that he gets 'stressed' at school.

The remedies were given to me by my own homeopath (he doesn't see a homeopath at the moment).

However, I would seriously value your input GM or anyone elses ideas. As I agree that innoculation may well not be the whole picture.

Many many thanks
