Guest guest Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Dr has prescribed Leocovor (folinic acid) to my 5yr old ASD son. I was reading about this folinic acid in web and I came across this article from tacanow web site. This section is from Dr Neubrander's presentation (on Methyl-B12 treatments) from Autism One conference in 2005. --quote Folinic acid should be added after the first 5-week clinical trial but not at the same time as Methyl-B12. It should be added alone and its dose should start low and then be incrementally increased to see how it is tolerated. From my research, approximately 20% of children become hyper and/or cannot sleep when folinic acid is added. --unquote Now I am wondering, can we give this medication at the same time with other MB12? Whoever is already on this medication, are you following any specific times for this? Also any sleep issues if taken in the night? 3 years ago, when we started the Bio Med treatment for my son, this MB12 shots was one of the protocol we did. The MB12 shot had folinic acid and NAC as well. My son had severe sleep issues with this combo. Eventually we had to take him out of this protocol. Now my son is on Neurobiologix stabilizer cream (MB12 + folinic acid and other stuff) with no issues. So I am little bit scared to add this additional folinic acid and I want to do it right this time. Appreciate the feedback, Thanks Shanthi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
