> • 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

Basically all of these help more than they could possibly hurt. Very

safe.
