Guest guest Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Hi guys,What is the story on mag stearate? I try to choose supps w/o it but often the Drs. recommend the brands with it. For example, I just ordered lithium oratate and wanted the version w/o NAC (the Pure brand) so had to go with the other brand with it....if we were working with a homeopath would we have better luck getting supplements without it?Many thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Well, you're always better off finding supps w/o it whether or not you're working with a homeopath. It seems like everytime I find the perfect supp with just the right amount of exactly what I'm looking for, it seems like mag stereate will inevitably be found in the ingredients list : ( I just do the best I can....save it for my favorite supps. *What gets me are the "ultra pure products" that charge a small fortune for a list of absolute crap under "other ingredients". When I find myself stuck buying a product with stereate, I would never in a million years pay an arm and a leg for it.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 , Even if you were working with a homeopath, you would still need to look at the inactive ingredients in the capsule. I have worked with both homeotoxicologist and naturopath and still needed to do my own research on supps and several times chose different brands, sometimes because of ingredients and sometimes because of cost. Remember doctors mostly recommend the brands that they use in their offices. There are some doctors who only promote the supps that they really trust but most of the them just recommend the ones they are selling. The story with magnesium stearate is that it binds to supps and sometimes prevents absorption. This is still considered controversial but to be on the safe side, we should stick with the supps without it. I get a lot of supps from Thorne research as they don't have any magnesium stearate. But then they don't have all the supps that I need. I also use Klaire labs but I have to be more careful with the ingredients from that line. If you want you can email me a list of supps that your child needs and I might be able to suggest brands that I have researched in terms of ingredients and bioavailability. Why is your dan starting lithium? Good luck. is > > Hi guys, > > What is the story on mag stearate? �I try to choose supps w/o it but often the Drs. recommend the brands with it. �For example, I just ordered lithium oratate and wanted the version w/o NAC (the Pure brand) so had to go with the other brand with it....if we were working with a homeopath would we have better luck getting supplements without it? > > Many thanks, > > > � > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 lol....I gotta give it to you, is...I've done some reading on magnesium stearate, but your link, by far, was the best! I LOVE cat-fight commentaries. (My favorite was the comment "Watch out for naturopaths who use the word 'toxins'....lmaoooooo.")This was the first place I've heard t-cells mentioned...and others didn't seem surprised by it. So there's one more bit of validation that I actually DO live under a rock.Thanks for link. -Tammy To: mb12valtrex Sent: Wednesday, January 4, 2012 5:31 PM Subject: Re: magnesium stearate I looked into magnesium stearate and found this interesting discussion and would try to post this link (not very good at that).

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Thank you is for the info!! I will definitely send out a request for new supp ideas to phase out mag. stearate where i can....fyi, we are also trying to get out aspartic acid (Thorne zinc picolinate) bc i am finding through Yasko (just in the beg of my reading on this) that she doesnt recommend aspartate, aspartic acid, l-glutamine and some others bc of their excitotoxin potential. We are starting lithium oratate bc he is indicated for it (see below info from Pure encapsulations -- lee silsby) and we have started Iodine supplementation which according to one of our DANs can bring down lithium. We just ordered another version of lithium oratate though bc we are avoiding sulfur supps and the below has NAC in it. Also fyi, our DAN said that she thinks more of her patients need Iodine now bc of the radiation fallout from the Tokyo reactor disaster.Lithium OratatePure EncapsulationsSupports healthy mood, emotional wellness, behavior and memoryLithium is an essential micronutrient with some chemical properties similar to calcium and magnesium. It is present in all organs and tissues in the body. Lithium has a long history of clinical use for supporting healthy mood and behavior. Mechanisms for this involve promoting dopamine and serotonin neurotransmitter activity. Lithium also plays a role in gene expression of natural detoxification enzymes in the brain, including glutathione-s-transferase (GST). This offers important neuron antioxidant protection, which may also contribute to healthy spatial memory. Lithium may support healthy brain receptor function and brain signaling cascades to maintain healthy mental function. N- acetyl-cysteine is a precursor to glutathione, the major antioxidant in the brain, and is added to this formula for enhanced protection of brain cell membranes.Lithium is an important element that plays a significant role in healthy mental function, including mood, emotion, memory and behavior.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Oh , I think I won't be able to sleep tonight. Thanks for telling me about the aspartic acid as I didn't even pay attention to it. I did some reading on it and it has been related to acute and chronic nervous disorders. Now I am really angry at Thorne research as according to their product developer, it is the safest supplement line as they have taken out all excipients and allergens. They actually complain about the ascorbyl palmitate used in pure encap products as it is derived from corn and can produce negative effects in children on spectrum. Now my search for a good supplement line is driving me crazy. I just purchased a 4 month supply of zinc picolinate from thorne and feel like I wasted money. Sometimes I feel like I am treating so many things like clostridia and yeast and what if some of the worst symptoms that my son has are related to the crazy ingredients in the supps? My son has never been able to tolerate corn derived vitamin c so pure encaps zinc is not an option. I think all of us should develop a list of supps from different lines which are the safest in terms of ingredients and make a file of it. Can you explain more about the NAC? My son recently was started on Cerefolin which also contains NAC. I noticed that every time I started it, he gets aggressive. This time I started it when he was actually behaving really well and some aggression is back again. What is the deal with sulfur and NAC? Also did your dan recommend some type of skin test for iodine? I am curious as a practitioner I was working with recommended iodine but she said that I will have to do some skin test which I don't remember now.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 (me lamenting here...) I have so many problems with Thorne. Nothing I ever try with Thorne has ever worked out. I usually keep supps around to re-try later but our experiences with Thorne have not been good that I don't have one bottle of Thorne anything in my stockpile. I didn't even know about the aspartic acid! is, Maia has the same problem as your child on NAC. Does extremely well on it at first and then...you said it...aggression. Maia's comes in the form of biting people. I'm starting to think it might have to do with sulfur. We've had similar experiences with reduced glutathione, methionine, NAC, MSM, taurine -- great at first, but then something happens and the aggression starts coming out. I talked to our DAN about this and he said to space it out and reduce the dosage if I'm seeing gains but then aggression following. I think it might have to do with their inability to process sulfur (which might be related to metals?). I'd really like to do more methionine and NAC (because the language and social gains were awesome) for her but we just can't...I can't have her biting people. I reduced our NAC to a quarter cap (125 mg) and after 5 days, she bit her ABA therapist. I don't even think we can do a low dose of it every day. We might need to try a low dose every 2 days.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Hi is, I'm not , but I can answer the question about the skin test. Here is from our notes by our doctor: " In the meantime I would like to do an iodine skin test, as iodine deficiency can of course bring lower thyroid function. Using a 2% iodine tincture such as the Delacruz product that is available at Walgreen's, paint a 1 inch x 1 inch square on the underside of the forearm and look 8 hours afterwards to see if you still see iodine. If the iodine is completely absorbed in 8 hours then there is almost certainly an iodine deficiency and we should consider an iodine supplement. If the iodine is still present after 24 hours, then there is almost certainly not an iodine deficiency. If the iodine disappears within the 8 to 24 hour range, then it is a bit more indeterminate and we will discuss what we need to do at that point. " HTH, Cathy > Also did your dan recommend some type of skin test for iodine?

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Wow...I went back to try to find that study w/o much luck. In hope that a quick google search could lead me back to it, I was surprised to find many studies in relation to NAC/NO. Results were scattered. One showed the use of NAC to inhibit NO production, but it was of no use for NO already present, another showed it's potential to actually increase NO bioavailability. But either way, it looks like there's a pretty close relationship between the two.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 I shoot my son with NAC with MB12 and folinic everyday (compounded 1 shot) and give along with some methione, SAMe and transdermal glutathione. My son started biting too when I added the NAC and methione but he started talking more, more aware, more connected and more language, so my doctor suggested theanine and gaba to calm: theanine 100mg 3 x a day and gaba 250 mg 3 x a day. This helps a lot, biting stopped but if I miss the middle of the day dose, he bites. Honestly I want the language. Of all of the sulfur based stuff NAC has helped the most with language. My son's DAN doctor says NAC gets glutathione to the brain, who knows. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Hi alexis,I know what you mean! Sometimes I regret starting some of this esp with my nt daughter with leaky gut...so many things create negative reactions or positive and then later negative reactions...i guess choose your battles and really watch how they react to new supps is all we can do...on the iodine, I am definitely not an expert as we just started using it...one of our dans recommended a 2%iodine solution stick compounded at our local pharmacy. It is for both treatment and diagnostic...similarr to cathy's post but use it everyday until the spot stays for 24hrs...our other dan recommended lugols iodine which I have read about here and I will look into this down the road...on the sulfur supplements, I am still learning. From what I understand sensitivity can improve too. Both dans recommended molybdenum 200mcg per day to help improve tolerance to sulfur foods,supplements...i also have a document on sulfur that I will send later.Cheers,-- Sent from my Palm Pre Oh , I think I won't be able to sleep tonight.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 One of Mia's early tests for reactivity showed she had a high reaction to Benzene. Our DAN naturopath generally waved it off as some environmental exposure or something but it stuck in my mind. How on earth was she ever exposed to benzene in any amount? Then I read about sodium benzoate, a preservative found in many liquid vitamins, converting to benzene in the body. I checked our liquid vitamin and it did in fact have it. Channa, please let me know what you find with the other mineral company. We are doing food very similar to you right now. What natural source minerals are you doing right now? We are just trying to increase raw foods (that Mia doesn't react to) in our diets but I haven't yet gotten truly methodical about it. I would love to hear your thoughts.
