RE: Re: vitamin/supplements dosing (and mixing and timings!)-Pear & Zinc...

[Guest guest]

Dr. McCandless,

Thank you so much for all of the information about nutritional supplementation,

it is invaluable!!

I have a question about the pear juice & pear puree/sauce. I use a bottled

organic pear juice (and sometimes pear sauce/puree) to give supplements to my

son. I remember hearing something about the pears – that pears contain an

enzyme that the yeast do not like. The pear juice and the pear sauce is

pasteurized which I believe is a process that involves high heat. As I

understand it, enzymes can be killed when heated. If this is all true, wouldn’t

the heat kill the enzymes that make the pear unattractive to the yeast?

I have another question about zinc. My 3.5 year old son is about to begin

chelation with DMSA suppositories. He is about 33 pounds and I have been giving

him 66mg of Zinc Picolinate because it is supposed to be the most absorbable.

In the CSB book and in your recent email, you mention you give Zinc

Monomethionine “at certain times and for certain children”. We are already

exceeding the 1mg/lb +20mg of zinc you mention in the book for chelation. But

it seems to help with my son’s appetite and willingness to try new foods. I

also just got a zinc sulfate transdermal cream - 20mg of zinc per

gram/application. Is there some proportion of Zinc Picolinate to Zinc

Monomethionine. (to zinc sulfate cream?) that you would recommend?

We also have my son on 1000mg (500mg 2x/day) of L-Glutamine to heal the gut. I

recently heard about NAG which is supposed to be more powerful than L-Glutamine?

My last question is about Calcium & Magnesium. Certain forms of Calcium were

constipating my son, so we tried Calcium & Magnesium citrate on ’s

recommendation. It has been working so far. I have been putting both the

Calcium (700mg) & the Magesium (630mg) powders in hot buckwheat cereal every

morning. I know that it would be better to spread it out over the course of the

day, but I don’t really have any other food to hide it in that he will eat,

since it is a lot of powder. I am planning on trying some Calcium chewables

that I can give him later in the day to spread it out some. Is it ok to put Cal

& Mag in something hot?

I really appreciate all of your time and help!

Many Thanks & Blessings,

Soft food is fine as says; however, I would notuse apple sauce as yeast

love apples and grapes, so Iask parents not to use apple or grape products

fortheir children (or anything with refined sugar in it).Pears have something in

them that yeast does notlike, so I suggest you use pear sauce or diluted

pearjuice to give nutrients if possible. Dr. JM--- adoptinggrace
