Re: Supps to repair damaged basal ganglia/PANDAS

[Guest guest]

I do not know of specific nutrients to heal this

particular part of the brain, but brain lipids are

very important, as the brain is mostly lipid.

PhosphatidylSerine is essential, 100mg/day - Thorne

has IsoPhos, Physiologics has PhosphatidylSerine

complex, vrp has phosphatidylserine, any or all are

good. An excellent brain nutrient is Nordic Naturals

ProDHA, and I believe a person your son's age would

benefit by at least 1200mg a day or even more. An

excellent multiple vitamin/mineral supplement that has

all the new best active (biological) forms of vit B12

(methylcobalamin), folate (folinic acid and and

5-methyltetrahydrofolate) brain support nutrients is

Klaire Labs' VitalSpectrum, in both powder and capsule

form - my favorite multiple for kids now - they also

newly have a separate Active B12 folate and

Benfotiamine, (lipid soluble thiamine) both extremely

important for the brain. Ecological Formulas has a

new brain nutrient that gets into the brain called

Norival (acetyltyrosine with biopterin) and

Mitocarnitine (propionyl-L-Carnitine); they also have

Menierin for oto-equilibrium.

VRP also has Neuron Growth Formula, which has

nutrients that animals studies show highly improved

dendritic growth and function. VRP also carries

Nordic Naturals for the ProDHA; to get a discount on

vrp items, give them my pin # 211032, and to order

Klaire items, call and tell them I sent

you and that you are a member of CSB e-list and they

will give you 20% off all their items. And please let

us know how your boy does on these, especially the

Neuron Growth Formula which is new but sounds

terrific. Dr. JM
