Guest guest Posted January 31, 2002 Report Share Posted January 31, 2002 Hello Dana, In answer to your request for resources: I am a member of FailSafe - it is an email list/support group like for people who are following a low salicylate and amine diet which is also free of additives, colorings and preservatives. The actual elimination diet is based on the research of the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital here in Australia. The information on salicylate/amine levels is considered to be the most current after extensive testing by the Unit in recent years. The link which Dan suggested is Sue Dengate's site who is the author of several books (diet and learning disorders,cookbook etc) about ADHD/hyperactivity and diet who started the support group. She is a food intolerance counsellor. There is also a book written by the hospital which includes lists and recipes. (I've lent my copies out so rather than cite them inaccurately have omited them - but anyone interested in the titles can email me off-post). FailSafe itself is not prescriptive - but rather about support and exploration via an elimination diet. As I have been following both groups I find the general approaches very similar actually - based on old fashion support and information sharing coupled with common sense approaches. There is a lot of common ground to the two diets particularly for those who are glutin/casein(dairy) free too. I myself am dairy,soy,wheat, gluten and lectin free and low in salicylates and amines. I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and sensory issues and am also exploring the issues related to heavy exposure to arsenic. It's early days for me but I have already seen dramatic changes in my health for the better through dietary changes. I have also now started using enzymes (so have other members of FailSafe) with good initial results and about to start chelation therapy with ALA. I am still working through the idea of how best to tackle Candida. I have been offered anti-biotics by an Immunologist recently - but turned my nose up at that idea. Many of the people on FailSafe especially parents are dealing with various issues relating to sensory disorder and diet. Frequently connections are made to Autism - Spectrum disorders - and Asperger's Syndrome. Another excellent site to visit is one written by a member of FailSafe Karl Dahlke who as a parent has been researching into many forms of natural food chemicals in particular amines. I found his site very useful for tips about managing amine levels the link is: http://www.eklhad.net/manage-amines.html Visitors will find more interesting reading on diet and sensory issues on the site - as well as I think relate to his trials and tribulations as he tries to find what works best for his family in terms of diet/health. There is also a dietician here in Australia, Sabine Speisser who has put together a very comprehensive site on food allergies/intolerances and in particular information about natural food chemicals including histamine, histamine-releasing food, amines (breaks amines down into sub-categories too), salicylates and MSG. Her site can be found at: http://users.bigpond.net.au/allergydietitian/ Hope some of this is useful. It seems like coming full-circle. As I became a member of after postings on FailSafe said what a great resource it was. Despite the differences, I find the information from both lists applicable to my health challenges. I know through necessity we must keep lists and topics separate so that we may maintain a clear focus about what we are trying to achieve. It seems to me that there is also a place for the occasional cross-networking and sharing of information by members between such groups. We have to all work so hard to find information - if we can save some time - then that is also a huge plus. I hope readers see this as my intention for sharing this information. Not to detract from either approach only to share what maybe complimentary and useful. Also I hope that inspires members of AutismandEnzymes to know that what you are achieving is not only having immediate health benefits for yourself and your families but is also reaching many other people who are in the process of improving their families health as well. I am most grateful to the members of FailSafe who cross-posted information about AutismandEnzymes. I am learning a lot from everyone and believe it is making a valuable contribution to my health.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 i don't think that any enzymes work that well for nuts any luck with the iodine yet? btw i think lithium builds serotonin. lithium orotate seems to work well with lithium aspartate. > I am thinking specifically of peanut butter - would this be a phenol (requiring NF) or a protein (needing Pep) or both? > TIA > Prue > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peanuts are moderate salicylate and high amine, so high phenol. I believe they are also high in protein and fat, so you might want to use Zyme Prime, maybe Pep also.
