Some reminders about a few nutrient items; lots of studies coming out recently about the dire need for Vit B6, and Klaire's P5P+Mag is absolutely the best and essential one a day for anyone with autism (actually everyone!), helping mitochondria and enzymatic reactions move properly in our metabolic functions. Vit B6 has to be given along with magnesium to work, and having it in one capsule is great. Klaire probiotics are excellent, coming in powder or capsules, and they now have Woman's Complete formula for the moms that I really love, and I always order one Detox capsule a day for the kids during chelation and also to accompany gut pathogen treatment. Also, kids and adults can all use one cap a day of Klaire's Bi-Carb Formula to keep our systems from getting too acidic; 250 caps for less than $20! For kids capable of keeping a sublingual in their mouths for at least 30 seconds without chewing and swallowing it immediately, and when sublingual shots are not possible, both Klaire and Prothera's sublingual Methylcobalamin (and EVERY ASD child needs MB-12, folate and B6) is excellent. I and all my adult patients love Prothera's Active B Trio, which has MB-12, Folate & B6 in one small capsule daily, good for kids too of course. Inflathera has become one of many patients' favorites for inflammation issues; everyone especially west of the Rockies should be on Iodine Complex because of the radiation threat from Japan, everyone needs much more Vit D3 than previous recommendations - experts are saying our ASD kids should be close to 90-100 ng/Ml, etc etc etc.etc. Please check out their many great products and take advantage of this generous offer to the autism community. Dr. Jaquelyn McCandless (group owner) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 I believe everyone and especially everyone on the West Coast and Hawaii take at least 12.5mg of Iodine/Potassium Iodide (Prothera Iodine Complex 1 daily or Vitamin Research Products Iodoral one tablet/day). Summary: Dr. Abrahams' Iodine Project: Dr. Guy Abraham, a former professor of obstetrics and gynecology at UCLA, mounted what he calls " The Iodine Project " in 1997 after he read the Ghent paper on iodine for fibrocystic disease. He had his company, Optimox Corp., make Iodoral, the tablet form of Lugol’s solution, and he engaged two family practice physicians, Dr. Flechas (in 2000) in North Carolina and Dr. Brownstein (in 2003) in Michigan to carry out clinical studies with it. The project’s hypothesis is that maintaining whole body sufficiency of iodine requires 12.5 mg a day, an amount similar to what the Japanese consume. The conventional view is that the body contains 25–50 mg of iodine, of which 70–80 percent resides in the thyroid gland. Dr. Abraham concluded that whole body sufficiency exists when a person excretes 90 percent of the iodine ingested. He devised an iodine-loading test where one takes 50 mg and measures the amount excreted in the urine over the next 24 hours. He found that the vast majority of people retain a substantial amount of the 50 mg dose. Many require 50 mg a day for several months before they will excrete 90 percent of it. His studies indicate that, given a sufficient amount, the body will retain much more iodine than originally thought, 1,500 mg, with only 3 percent of that amount held in the thyroid gland. More than 4,000 patients in this project take iodine in daily doses ranging from 12.5 to 50 mg, and in those with diabetes, up to 100 mg a day. These investigators have found that iodine does indeed reverse fibrocystic disease; their diabetic patients require less insulin; hypothyroid patients, less thyroid medication; symptoms of fibromyalgia resolve, and patients with migraine headaches stop having them.To paraphrase Dr. Szent-Györgi, these investigators aren’t sure how iodine does it, but it does something good. Thyroid function remains unchanged in 99 percent of patients. Untoward effects of iodine, allergies, swelling of the salivary glands and thyroid, and iodism, occur rarely, in less than 1 percent. Iodine removes the toxic halogens fluoride and bromide from the body. Iodism, an unpleasant brassy taste, runny nose, and acne-like skin lesions, is caused by the bromide that iodine extracts from the tissues. Symptoms subside on a lesser dose of iodine. As these physicians point out, consuming iodine in milligram doses should, of course, be coupled with a complete nutritional program that includes adequate amounts of selenium, magnesium, and Omega-3 fatty acids. Done this way, an iodine intake 100 times the reference daily intake is " the simplest, safest, most effective and least expensive way to help solve the health care crisis crippling our nation, " as the leader of The Iodine Project, Dr. Abraham, puts it. People who take iodine in these amounts report that they have a greater sense of well-being, increased energy, and a lifting of brain fog. They feel warmer in cold environments, need somewhat less sleep, improved skin complexion, and have more regular bowel movements. These purported health benefits need to be studied more thoroughly, as do those with regard to fibrocystic breast disease and cancer. Meanwhile, perhaps we should emulate the Japanese and substantially increase our iodine intake, if not with seaweed, then with two drops of Lugol’s Solution (or one Iodoral tablet) a day.Dr. JM ________________________________ To: " csb-autism-rx " <csb-autism-rx > Sent: Sat, September 3, 2011 7:29:25 PM Subject: Re: NUTRIENT REMINDER from DrJM  Dr. M., What is your recommendation on Iodine dosing for those of us in the West?  Peace & Health, Dr. Hannifin www.DrH.com www.AutismRecoveryCenter.com Your talent is God's gift to you.
