Guest guest Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Someone on another list sent this link - I think it totally explains why I (and others perhaps) am so acutely sensitive to the ammonia that we used months ago to try to wash our clothes... _http://www.detoxpuzzle.com/bh4.php_ (http://www.detoxpuzzle.com/bh4.php) very interesting info!

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Thanks. I never have used ammonia, but this caution is definitely helpful. I have a teen who fits this description of symptoms and blood test results. Methyl B-12, with folinic acid does help him. He also gets a clean vitamin c powder in liquid daily and a multi-vitamin with niacin in it. It took time to get his body to accept vitamins, and we started with very low doses. I worked with a clinical researcher for several years who eventually wanted to test an oral BH-4 supplement on him, but we had done enough trials at that point so pulled him out of the study. Also, I thinkg BH-4 is a hormone?? Made me nervous. I also refused to test an oral carnitine supplement on him. Overall, he is improving, but energy levels and a tendency towards depression will probably plague him. It looks like a tendency to be uncooperative, but it is really variable health issues stemming from exposure to sick buildings and possibly excessive pesticides/solvents. I wish medicine could provide some real help that wouldn't involve pharmaceutical solutions as his liver is compromised, and I am not convinced that prescribing drugs to teens is a good long term solution unless it is absolutely necessary which it isn't in this case. This guy does respond to more oxygen in the air, but it is difficult to get him to exercise regularly. The researcher wanted to test him for that MMTHFR genetic profile, but I was concerned about how the insurance companies would view such information should it be available to them in the future.
