Interesting find (to me, anyway) / OCD

[Guest guest]

Just going thru my email files and looking for linkages....A followup on my previous post about a failing liver / ammonia / brain effects....

As part of this woman's gut cleanup, I gave her a new treatment pioneered by Dr. Mark Pimentel, of the University of California at Los Angeles School of Medicine.7 A nonabsorbed antibiotic called Xifaxin clears out abnormal bacteria in the small bowel. I expected her bloating and even some of her inflammatory symptoms to clear up by fixing her gut. But I was surprised by what she told me after she took the antibiotic.

Overnight her OCD disappeared; after years of unsuccessful treatment with psychotherapy and psychiatric medications, she was suddenly able to clean her entire house and pick up everything off the floor. The lights in her brain had come on for the first time in ten years.

A high level of ammonia in her blood caused her OCD. Ammonia is a neurotoxin that excites and damages brain cells and the mitochondria (the site of energy production in all cells). Bacteria in the gut produce ammonia, and when the liver can't detoxify it or there is just too much, it causes brain damage.

Subject: Interesting find (to me, anyway) / OCD

Article in the San Diego Reader Sept 8, 2011 about a man who received a LIVER transplant.

This section about his pre-transplant condition caught my eye:

"Eventually, 's loss of liver function also meant that toxins such as ammonia, which are normally made harmless by the liver, began to build up in his body. This resulted in hepatic encephalopathy, a disorder of the brain that often causes confusion and altered levels of conciousness.

It's like your brain waves would say, 'I'm going to have a cup of tea', and then you would do something totally different, Rita [his wife] says. 'He would use the TV remote and think it was the lamp or the phone'."

[left out text about his on-line shop-a-holic condition where he blew $80k on things like multiple sets of towels, socks and sheets. "We have so many towels and sets of sheets, I had to give hundreds away"]

[And he bought eagle-dedecked items] "'I'd always liked them' s says. 'But before then I'd never had to have them'"

I continue to look for clues to minimize / cure my daughter's OCD....

Rather than the antibiotic (even if it was nonabsorbable), would you not get the same effect using super strength dose probiotic?------------Ratan Singh, Phone: 91 141 2652561, mail: ratanpsych@...- Certificate in Food & Nutrition; Diploma in Nutrition and Health Education; Life Member, Nutrition Soc. of India; Member ISOM- Author of "Nutrition & Supplements in Major Mental Illnesses";- M.A. (Psychol), Postgraduate Diploma in Medical & Social Psychology, Ph.D.;- Certified Behavior Therapist (from late Prof. J.
