Re: Heidi N's Neurotransmitter Thoughts

[Guest guest]

Heidi, if the calcium channels are really off, it takes a long while

to get the amino acids to regulate. If the hormones are off quite a

bit, you need to detox a great deal over years to get the body into

some semblance of balance.

I like the way your direction is going. It took my son 8 months to recover, using digestive enzymes, a strong yeast protocol of rotated uva ursi, mct oil, and gse each one given 3x a day but only for 2 months then rotated to the next one, oreganol, dosed in the middle of the night, candex or candidaise, 50 billion custom probiotics 3x a day, a non toxic house, chelation for metals, antivirals, antibacterials, cod liver oil, phosphadayltcholine, zinc loading, grapeseed extract, 10,000mg vit C a day for 8 months, lycine, minerals like cal & mag, vit e, molybdenum, selenium, taurine. chlorophyll, chelation with dmsa/ala, liver support with milk thistle. It only took 8 months. Not years. One of the keys was attacking everything at once so the pathogens/yeast/metals had no where to go but out.

Heidi, Robin,

Curcumin is one of my favorite supplements, too. It is one of the most

versatile anti-inflammatory herb. People in Alzheimer's Disease community

use Curcumin and Hoursetail (rich in silica) to chelate aluminum, for

Curcumin goes across blood brain barrier. It is also known to chelate lead

and cadmium. It helps to increase glutathione levels.

Curcumin enhances functions of NK cells. It supports macrophages without

causing unwanted, excess inflammation. I like to use both Curcumin and

garlic (Allimax) with meals. They both support NK cells and boost immune

system. Garlic also chelate mercury and cadmium, in addition to being

anti-fungal.

I have been giving my son Curcumin for the past 3.5 years from different

blends including Avea made by Nutramedix and Intra-Cell GEN 2 made by Our

Kids. Intra-Cell Gen 2 is a herbal blend of Curcumin, Ginkgo, and Milk

Thistle, which is bound to phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylserine

liposomes to improve absorption into cells. A couple days ago I ordered Lee

Silsby's new Curcumin product called Enhansa. Enhansa just recently became

available through Our Kids web site. In the beginning Lee Silsby required a

doctor's prescription to obtain Enhansa, because it is a high potency

product. Here is the product information to compare Enhansa with other

standard Curcumin extracts: http://www.leesilsby.com/versus.php

Oh, yeah, I did that waking up in the middle of the night thing. People do it for multiple kids by laying all the dosages out the night before. I only did one kid at a time. Maybe you could do two kids one weekend, two kids the next. You don't have to chelate every weekend. I also cannot chelate myself and my daughter at the same time. I get so tired because my adrenals are fatigued, I would need someone to dose me so as not to fail a round. Both rounds I tried doing my daughter and I failed, but that was because our adrenals. If I chelate, I will do two children a weekend and have someone help me on the third weekend when I would have someone help me. Then rotate. I can't chelate myself and others because I feel like absolute crap while chelating. I hope that treating lymes and the increased energy from it will help me with that problem.
