CARNOSINE was: Bad reaction to Folinic Acid or B12?

[Guest guest]

Did any of you guys who have used carnosine notice any changes good or

bad in terms of allergic/sensitivity reactions?

I have not noticed but have not really been looking.My kids take daily antihistamine and quercetin though so not a good judge I guess.

We saw a decline in the intensity of reactions to things but that may have been because we were using OLE and colostrum at the time.  I didn't notice any changes in allergies/intolerances with carnosine.  I saw those with OLE and colostrum.

Hi Natasa,

My son reacts poorly to Carnosine unfortunately. I've tried it twice and both

times 2 drops send him right over the edge. I've been reading about blocked

retinoid receptor pathways, and I think he

has a blocked pathway. Not sure if this would affect carnosine

supplementation or not. Anyone know?

you might find this an interesting read for that particular condition...I ran

across it a long time ago, to help my brother with his eyesight...Within a few

weeks we were able to get him into glasses, and within a year, he was watching

TV normally.

I believe that there are some on this board that see Dr. Megson.

Hey ,

Thanks! I have read a lot of Dr. Megson's stuff, but not this particular one.

I actually corresponded with her office manager

via email many moons ago. They are very helpful, even if you've never been there

(at least they were helpful then). I was super impressed.

I could never get my son to a high enough dose of CLO, not even half,

until now, so I'm ready to try to " POP " them open. Oddly, I have

Urecholine in my fridge for my daughter. Am looking for the dose she uses, so

might end up emailing them again. Thanks!
