Guest guest Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 You take it when consuming the phenol containing foods. It helps process phenol better and the child either has no reaction or a milder reaction to phenols. is > > Is this the one where you have to obstain from phenols and use the enzyme or the to take when consuming phenols > > > Shirley A.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 We’ve been using Phenol assist by kirkman. We use other enzyme products by Houston but the phenol product that was recommended to us (by trusted sources) was the kirkman brand. It makes a difference in stimming – both physical and verbal. I usually empty one capsule into each of his juices (pear) at breakfast, lunch, dinner. We loosely follow Feingold (our main diet is SCD) and avoid high phenol foods but every once in a while we will have spaghetti (with spaghetti squash) or he’ll have raisins for a snack. If we are having high phenol food, I’ll give him two. Our biggest gains came from going to SCD in trying to get his yeast in check, but maybe SCD is also starving some of the other bacteria and parasites that I know are there. I’m going to try some of ’s “anti-parasite” remedies. Cheers, mardi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Can someone tell me what is the difference between No Phenol and the Phenol Assist?..We have been using Trienze ezyme by Houston which has 1/2 no phenol, and I am thinking maybe we should just add Phenol assist for Phenol/salcilayes issues?

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Thanks Mardi! I thought about trying SCD several times but my son's IGG test showed allergy to all nuts and lentils. Phenol is a big issue for my son. I am looking into feingold diet and may start him on that. is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Our story shortened, even though it is still long (sorry): Boy 1: crazy hyper-sensitive to salicylates since he was a toddler. We put him on Feingold and it helped A LOT. He is not ASD, but shared many health and behavioral issues and probably would've ended up diagnosed Asperger's or something when he was older. Biomed saved him and all he is left with is salicylate sensitivity (and his genetics), but with all the other treatments it is MUCH better than it used to be. No-Fenol really didn't help him at all when he was at his worst. He can now have salicylates if we give him No-Fenol. We give two capsules and sometimes even more. When we first discovered it worked for him, we went whole hog letting him have all the salicylates he wanted with No-Fenol. We soon learned that although it helped with behavioral issues, after two or three days of too many high-salicylate foods (even with No-Fenol), he would have other issues like bedwetting (which hasn't been a problem for a couple years) and nightmares. So, we still limit the worst offenders and give No-Fenol when he does have them. For him the worst is tomatoes, followed by apples and grapes. Boy 2: my ASD child who is doing fantastically well. We didn't realize he had a salicylate problem until maybe 6 months ago or so. He had never shown a difference when we limited him in the past, but he was so affected back then. So when we recently cut them out, we saw a huge positive difference! We also made a few other changes at that time and all those changes together have brought him to an unbeliveably positive place. We are SOOOOO close to fully recovered. Anyway, because of that and the fact that I keep having other changes I want to make (and only want to change one thing at a time), I have been unwillingly (aka: terrified!) to try in salicylates yet, even with No-Fenol, so I don't know if it would help him or not. What I can tell you is that there is a very clear correlation between B12 and salicylate tolerance for both of my boys. When they were religiously on their B12, they were more tolerant. When I had to take them off, they both became more sensitive again. This effect is more of an " over time " effect rather than an " overnight " effect. I highly recommend following the Feingold program for anyone who has salicylate issues. It is so helpful to have the shopping guide! It helps you get to a baseline from which you can then learn your child's true individual sensitivities.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Cathy, thank you so much for sharing your story. And I agree with you about the MB12. Recently, since I am working on so many things including the gcmaf shots, I sometimes delay the shot by one day and I do see that he gets more stimmy, inattentive and right after eating his food, he gets extremely hyper. How often do you use the MB12 shots? Sometimes I feel like I should try to do it more often than every third day as by the third day, I start feeling like the benefits are disappearing already. I know a lot of children who can tolerate the shots are on daily ones. So I am thinking that once things settle down a bit with yeast, I should look into increasing the frequency of the shots. Also, can you share what is the best way to do the Feingold? There are so many things on the website. Should I get the books or become a member? And again, I just love your posts. You are such a big help. Thanks is > > > > Hi everyone, > > I am starting an enzyme for phenols and was wondering if people had good results with kirkman phenol assist or No fenol by houston?

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Well, we were using MB12 shots every three days along with folinic acid. We saw lots of good gains. They had been doing them for a couple years faithfully. We eventually started to feel like the boys weren't tolerating them or the folinic as well as they used to so we pulled the shots and did see a positive improvement. However, new symptoms have shown up that point to their need for the B12 (plus they have MTHFr mutations), so we really want to get B12 back on board. I don't know if you remember, but I have been learning the Yasko information (which is AMAZING), so I recently started the older son on hydroxy B12 and that has been a real blessing. He did get a bit more emotional the first few days back on it, but has leveled out now. I also added in folapro to replace the folinic acid. These forms of B12 and folate are the forms that their bodies don't have to work for. I haven't got the younger one on the hydroxy or folapro yet because I have other things I am trying to get in first. The added benefit to what I am doing now is the hydroxy B12 is an oral liquid and SO much cheaper. No more buying monthly shots that are shipped on ice. Yet, we are still bypassing the digestive tract by doing oral absorption. We did try the mb12 lollipops and they were good, but my son still seemed to have a negative response to them. So now I am enjoying the lollipops that are leftover. If you are giving the shots, he is tolerating them well, and you feel he is losing the benefit over three days, then yes, you may need to go to once per day even if just for awhile. We never needed to do the shots more than every three days, but some people do. I think some people can later drop back to every three days though. With us doing the drops, we do one drop per day as a steady stream. As far as Feingold, the very best way is to become a member. They will send you a bunch of information and a shopping guide for your region. You also then get regular newsletters and announcements. They will keep you informed of newly approved foods and any changes to products already on their lists. What's nice is if you do want to avoid other things like MSG, HVP, HFCS, sodium benzoate, etc, these items are also listed for the products although you aren't required to avoid them as part of the Feingold program. You can also join in on their message board if you wish. At this point in our lives, we don't buy a lot of processed foods, but the shopping list is so helpful when we do. We had to live by the Feingold list for quite a long time (including nonfood items), but when the sensitivities lessened it wasn't as big of a deal. When the sensitivities increased again, I renewed my membership that had expired a couple years prior and got a new book which was nice because a lot of new items had been added to the shopping list. I haven't had to worry about changing our non-food items though. Hope that helps, Cathy > > Cathy, thank you so much for sharing your story. And I agree with you about the MB12.
