Guest guest Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Very helpful…my thoughts initially for these things but still was a bit unsure so it is helpful to get confirmation.

Sent: Sunday, January 24, 2010 8:02 PM To: sList Subject: Re: Feedback on meds Hi , The only one I have experience with is Melatonin and probiotics. I have been giving my son 1mg of this about 30-45 minutes before bed time for years now and we love it. It makes him sleepy without knocking him out and it has worked steadily for years with zero problems. Doesn’t appear to make him grumpy or anything. I don’t know of any side effects, it is an anti oxidant. We love it. As for the probiotics, I give that to my son and myself and I don’t think I see any side effects....I haven't read of any and I have done a lot of reading on probiotics and they can be so helpful for most people and I have not read about any negative side effects from them. I take 20-30 billion a day and my son around 10. Good luck!

I am looking for what to expect in side effects, if anyone has had success with the use of these, and if I should have any medical reservations in using these products. Thanks in advance.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Have you seen any success with the use of these products?

Re: Feedback on meds > • Probiotics for all can cause temporary diarrhea, good for the immune system. Rare(2 cases in the literature) side effect of sepsis (probiotics as an infection) but you have to be immune deficient and in the ICU for that to happen. If you get diarrhea, don't stop. Back off, increase slower. > • Glutathione for the younger two (for speech & language improvement) antiinflammatory, natural chemical in the body, gets depleted very easily no known side effects from too much, as it is realllllyyyyyy hard to get too much naturally. Most of us suffer from too little, and that is a not nice place to be (think of a toxic waste dump that runs out of filters) > • Melatonin for my son (for fogginess) even though he sleeps fairly > well normal substance in the body hormone--frequently deficient in stressed people makes us sleepy we do not know much else about long term supplementation. Not sure I would use it if he is sleeping well, unless I was concerned about the depth of his sleep, or to make sure the sleep cycle was absolutely normal. > • LDN (low dose Naltrexone crème for my daughter (for focus and > attention) blocks your body's natural opiates. Immune cells have opiate receptors (we do not know the purpose) but giving low dose naltrexone seems to change the balance of immune cells (back to an antiinflammatory ratio) no known side effects > Any feedback on these meds would be greatly appreciated.
