Hi Nil I'm a newbie here, learning a lot from the far more expert posters. But I am a certified nutrition consultant and I got my cert based mainly on the work of Dr Melvin Page. According to his discoveries, what you are experiencing is *almost certainly* a deficiency in Phosphorus. Your phos/calcium ratio is probably unbalanced, with excess CA to P. When your doc next does bloodwork, including the basic chemscreen, you will have to ask him/her to check off Phosphorus because thanks to the insurance cos, this mineral is no longer routinely checked as it used to be. The perfect numbers are Calcium-10, phos-4.5. As you can see, the perfect ratio is for calcium to be 2 and 1/2 times phos. Thanks to so much calcium fortification in foods, it can be easy to get those 2 minerals out of ratio. Phos is believed to be extremely available, so hardly anyone considers it any more----it's high in meats and grains, for instance. People who drink a lot of " colas " probably don't have to worry about it. (they will have plenty of other ingredients in colas to be concerned over!) Phosphorus is an acidic mineral that helps keep calcium in solution. With a phos deficiency, calcium will tend to settle in joints (as spurs, for instance), or other places where it does not belong. I do not understand the chemistry of this, but Dr Page noted the excess saliva in a phos deficiency. I have noted that with this there is frequently staining of teeth, as well as excess tartar on the teeth. You may notice rust colored spots/stains on your pillowcase, or under it on the pillow itself, when phos is deficient. If this sounds like it might apply, you can google Orthophosphoric Acid for a supplier. Standard Process makes it as Phosfood, and Progressive Labs has it as OPA. There are other sources, but I'm not familiar with them. HTH, Sharon/starshar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Sharon Thanks so much. This sounds interesting really but it may not be my case. Just checked my blood cal-phosphorus values and they seem to be fine.they are 9.3 and 4.4 respectively. Thanks and best wishes.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Hi, I don't have exactly this, but I do get 'hypersalivation' and at the same time a difficulty with swallowing saliva/liquids. This has been worse since taking 25mg Dothiepin at night. It doesn't fully prevent me from swallowing and is worse with activity. Rosie Sharon Thanks so much. This sounds interesting really but it may not be my case. Just checked my blood cal-phosphorus values and they seem to be fine.they are 9.3 and 4.4 respectively. Thanks and best wishes.

Nil, you definitly do not have a problem with a lack of phosphorus! Rather, it looks as though you have way *too much* P in reference to the calcium. According to Dr Page's ratio, with a calcium of 9.3, your phosphorus should be 3.72. If you were my client I'd be asking about your diet (to determine where the Phos is coming from), and advising you to take a calcium supplement In his books, perhaps out of print now, he explained how most of the body's problems could be corrected by getting those 2 minerals in the correct ratio. The Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation would have info on Dr Page if anyone is interested. But now I have NO idea why you are dealing with excess salivation!

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 I'm chasing acetylcholine & this came up on another board. May or may not be relevant since it refers to autism: <quote> http://www.autismanswer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2433 B12 helps to support acetylcholine levels. High levels of acetylcholine relative to dopamine can have negative effects such as drooling behaviors. That is why I often suggest decreasing B12 in children who are having issues with drooling after B12 injections. It is both an issue of increased acetylcholine, as well as lower dopamine levels relative to the acetylcholine levels. The balance is important just as the situation with a number of other compounds in autism. <endquote> Sue yildiz wrote: > Thanks so much.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Great info. Thanks. I will make some investigation on this. I also had a period of drooling while sitting. It did not last long. I am also wondering if drooling while laying down could be sign of tape worms or any other parasites? Remember hearing something like that. Anybody heard of this? thanks a lot.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Ah ha, There may be a link here with the altered levels of choline in the brain found by - now who was it; either Puri or Chaudri? Makes a lot of sense to me. Also makes sense as to why, in part, I can't cope with methylcobalamin. Slowly the pieces seem to fall into place.
