RE: Yasko metals removal

March 7, 2012

Hi Alison Thank you for replying. It was fixing the methylation pathway and hence the route of the problem which originally drew me towards Yasko. Also Dr G pointed me in her direction so I know he respects the approach.I think maybe I just need to have faith but it's difficult when the most popular method used is Cutler so that's the protocol of choice. I feel a sence of urgency to get these metals out and I want to do it the quickest and most effective way possible for j. Having said that the promise of fixing the original problem to prevent further accumulation has to be the primary goal.Do you mind me asking how long you have been using Dr Yaskos protocol for and what benefits you have seen?Also is anyone else on this list using Yasko or have any thoughts on her protocol?Thanks :-)To: Autism-Biomedical-Europe From: rowbotham.alison@...Date: Tue, 6 Mar 2012 23:50:43 +0000Subject: Re: Yasko metals removal

I can't advise whether Yasko or cutler is more appropriate - I still question this with myself! We are currently doing yasko and I am happy to share with you my understanding according to yasko.Metals, genetics and methylation is a catch 22 situation. Genetic changes in key areas of methylation cycle (as per nutrigenomic test) are seen more and in particular combinations in asd and other neurological disorders.

These changes impair detoxification which means holding onto rather than eliminating metals, bacteria and viruses (proper methylation is required to silence viruses). The bacteria and viruses also trap metals.

Here is the catch 22 - metals then interfere with methylation. There is now a vicious circle of metals, viruses, bacteria, impaired methylation which means detox problems and digestion problems. (so with cutler you are also removing the metals that further impact on methylation but not bypassing the genetic errors - I think, correct me if I'm wrong here Mandi)

By even just starting to correct methylation, metals will start to be eliminated. Viruses and bacteria will then start to be removed from the body again pushing the metals at the same time. You are not only removing metals but correcting the way the body works so the metals do not build back up so that viruses can be silenced and the many other critical jobs methylation is required for such as correct cell multiplication (this process is what has gone wrong when cancer occurs).

With yasko as it causes the body to detox naturally step 1 involves supporting the vital organs to cope with elimination of metals without being ill (eg liver support so that liver enzymes do not end up raised as the liver will be working harder). However there will be experience of detox symptoms.

I'm also doing yasko myself and both my kids seem to be coping much better than me. Yasko requires lots of testing to do it properly and ends up very expensive. When we started out I thought I could use the protocol as a base and 'adapt' to suit but I have found I can't do this. I don't know how to do it other than just follow it.

A real positive is receiving the test results and seeing the excretion of metals when previously there were none. Then there is stage 3 which means promoting remylination to protect the pruned, less toxic nervous system and brain.

My son aged 4 was in a real mess. For us the results have answered so many questions - he has some of the most severe combinations. Even if we get to a point where financially we can't continue with full protocol we will still know his biggest issues and what needs to be controlled life long. It has also helped with diet. There are so many different suggested diets for autism it has helped us to understand what to avoid for Charlie and hopefully this can be expanded once methylation is more functional.

Once we got the yasko results we went to Breakspear and Dr G ran methylation panel bloodtest. This along with urine amino acid test confrimed the predispsitions suggested on yasko panel were actually causing both my children significant problems.

Hope this helps rather than adding confusion.BWAlison ROn 6 March 2012 22:15, liskent wrote:

Hi I have just started Dr Yaskos protocol and am awaiting results from the nutrigenomic test and range of biomed tests. So far I have seen great gains by altering the gabba glutamate balance and J is much calmer and happier in himself.

My worry is that I don't fully understand how her approach removes metals from the body and how her method compares to the Cutler method in terms of effectiveness?

I know J has a lot of Arsenic and cadmium from testing but with my history I also suspect mercury. I'm just not sure if I should go with Yasko or Cutler and would really appreciate some advise!

Thanks in advance :-)

Hi Alison,

It's so good to hear Charlie's progress, it is wonderful.I would like to give a

short summary about our Yasko intervention as well.

I started lithium but my son showed reaction,like manic type of

behaviour!DrG.recommended glucose but I didn't use it.Because his body is

tolerating better now.I started B12 Hydroxy type..All the supplements are in

place, mainly the gut clearing ones..microbes and parasities and candida.There

is a great improvement, no constipation ,no laxatives..He is much calmer.When we

started naturomycin that stuff (I think it is for clearing microbes!!) he

couldn't tolerate even one drop...but the second week he was much better.He is

ok with the anti inflammatory RNAS.I think Yasko protocol is definetely making

some slow changes..He is putting weight, this is unbelievable..My neurologist

will be very impressed.We will see him this week...His seizure wise...I am still

frighten even to mention this word!!but there is improvement...it is widening

between the incidents..The funny laughter just before the seizure nights

happened in the past ..He still shows this funny laughter but nothing is

happening..I think his organs are getting stronger, resisting...Possibly the

'glass is still full' as Yasko says, but body is controlling better..Ofcourse I

am paying more attention to his diet as well.I wish I could do more testing but

I will do soon..Hoping to start methylation supplements in a month time..It is

amazing all these RNAS, the whole stuff how gently making things better!In fact

my friend with MS would like to try gut protocol now..

Your understanding Yasko is excellent, I am getting better but my concentration

is poor, so far we are managing.Yasko's guiding is excellent, so the best thing

to do is make the test and get the direction.perhaps..I am still hoping DRG may

focus on more deeply in the protocol, but I have doubt he will do it.

Looking forward to hear more progress of your little boy soon.

All the best
