Guest guest Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Namenda is supposed to moderate glutamate levels. Generally high glutamate kids are hyper. It can also help with language. You can also give lots of GABA. Subject: neurotransmittersTo: BorreliaMultipleInfectionsAndAutism Date: Friday, December 19, 2008, 10:48 AM Hi Limin, I saw your post on neurotransmitters. ..MY son now has high glutamates and sky high glycine, (dont have the numbers in front of me).So what could I do to reduce this?Ofcourse his diet is free of glutamates, meat etc.Will Namenda help? I used to give that before.Also... could this be a cause for poor memory? He is so frustrated by his poor recall, canttalk because he cant get the words etcThanks a lotPramila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Hi Pramila, Yakso always reminds GABA/Glutamate balance as step one of the treatments, in addition to controlling, detoxifying ammonia. What's your child's level of GABA? If it is low, then you can pick and choose from the list of supplements below: - GABA - L-Theanine - Pycnogenol - Grape Seed Extract - Lithium Orotate - Taurine (if taurine is not elevated.) Did you test for urine or plasma? If this is urinary, I suspect that your child's level of glutathione is low, assuming cysteine is low. How's his level of cysteine? Cysteine, glutamate, and glycine are precursors of glutathione. If cysteine is low, and urinary glutamate and glycine are high. It is likely that they are not formed into glutathione, and high levels of glutamate and glycine are wasted in the urine. In this scenario, OSR can be helpful.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Hi LiminThanks for that info. Last time i tested it was a big high and I could bring the levels back byreducing proteins, and AKG. Then its been normal for the longest time. Now once again its high.His intracellular glutathione is way low.I will probably try OSR.PramilaTo: BorreliaMultipleInfectionsAndAutism Sent: Friday, December 19, 2008 10:35:58 AMSubject: Re: neurotransmitters Hi Pramila, Yakso always reminds GABA/Glutamate balance as step one of the treatments, in addition to controlling, detoxifying ammonia.
