Cyntha, I don't have the long term problems, but I can surely sympathize with

your short term memory. It has gotten so bad lately, that I can't remember if

I have posted something on ....even if I read it because it was

posted...it can really bring you to tears sometimes. Pretty sad when your

kids have to remind you that you have already done or asked something. Oh

he**, I am starting to have problems remembering if I put the car in

drive.....at least pushing the gas tells me if I have.....lol !!!

Your Lyme Friend,

P.S. I can't wait to see you all in Gettysburg....if I can remember when it

is : ) Reid, can us married women get in line at your kissing booth and is

there an extra charge ...lol !!!

Dear ,

I thought the LDF was providing buses from NJ. If there isn't one in

northern NJ,

I'll drive to Central NJ and take your bus. I'll see you in Gettysburg.

Hi Eileen,

This would be a bus provided by the LDF.... They are just trying to get

numbers to see how many are interested... I will see you Saturday... I will

have a Lime green name tag on with my name and e-mail on it.... Bye.....

<Perhaps the problem wasn't the infraction but too

much Pep!! >

Interesting suggestion. What would that cause? I presumed that any excess

enzymes would just be excreted.

<Was it just behavioral reactions?>

Yes

< Did he get diarrhea or anything?>

No, but was restless and irritable and tired.

< What exactly are wheatbix? >

About 6 inch by 2 inch Rectangles of closely packed " 97% whole grain pure

Australian wheat, with malt and added vitamins " Yes, a cereal and a very

wheaty one! 3 was a pretty substantial serving! He was sooo thrilled to be

having weetbix again, shortlived though it was! I would like to try this

again with smaller servings but think we should wait for the longer school

hols at Christmas when he has plenty of time to recover. It was awful to

see him seemingly losing his skills before our eyes. Thank goodness he is

improving again!

<is he reactive to phenols?>

I now suspect he is more sensitive to phenol than I was aware and I am still

learning which foods contain them (thanks Dana for your info page)

<Could it be a combination of typical regression seen when starting enzymes

along with him reacting to the chocolate?>

Because he was already GFCF and has already been on the enzymes for 6 weeks

and has what appeared to be a slight reaction I think it was past the

initial reaction phase. I think the choc may have contributed so am now

giving No -fenol if he eats choc foods and watching for red ears etc. He

had extra helpings of spaghetti sauce with tomato paste last night and I

noticed he had red ears and a red stripe down the middle of his nose!! After

a No-fenol the colour began to fade noticeably so I have to learn more about

the phenols.

I am also giving him an extra No-fenol between meals at home to address any

yeast that may be around.

On a new thread, he is about to have braces removed from his teeth and I

would like to have a metal toxicity test done with a view to chelating.

Any n members with any experience of practitioners here?

The dentist intends to place a permanent stabilising wire behind his lower

teeth but now I am concerned about continuing metal susceptibility. Does

anyone know if stainless steel is a toxic substance for our kids? I am

hoping the orthodontist will be able to substitute a synthetic but don't

know yet. There is so much to be aware of, isn't there!

<certainly things like gfcf hotdogs would blend right in!>

He hates the GFCF bread I bake and the bought stuff is heavy as lead! What

else can you wrap a hotdog in?!!

Thanks for your interest and encouragement, ,

Cheers

In regards to this part of the conversation, the breakdown of all the wheat

would release more amino acids into the system. So the Peptizyde may have

been working really well, but your son experience an " amino acid rush " . High

protein diets or high protein meals of any type do the same thing - the

after-effect can cause jitters, hyperness, agitation, etc. So if you eat a

high protein lunch, this will give you are surge of energy in the afternoon

(which some people want). If you eat a high carb lunch, you tend to get

drowsy in the afternoon and what a nap or a candy bar as a " pick me up. "

This is what I expect based on seeing those particular behavioral reactions

and not diarrhea - just alot of amino acids hitting at once. (Notice that

the same thing can happen with No-Fenol or with tyrosine and other amino

acid supplementation!)

Fran, Have you ever checked out Kinnikinnick foods? If not go to

kinnikinnick.com because they have the best gfcf

breads/rolls/bagels/donuts. Their hotdog rolls are the best gfcf out

there in my opinion. My daughter hated gfcf breads/rolls boughten as

well as made,too. She liked their stuff though. The chocolate glazed

donuts(all chocolate dipped in a sugar glazing) are amazing-although

so is the price, of course. My daughter loves bagels and theirs were

also the closest to " real " I ever found. She was so excited when she

tried them. Their white bread was very good-looked like " normal " and

was especially good in a grilled cheese sandwich. Another idea with

the hotdog-does he like corn tortillas? Sometimes my husband likes

hotdogs wrapped in these with salsa.

It sounds like you saw a classic phenolic reaction with the red

ears/nose!! Maybe No Fenol will give you some great results!! My

daughter never showed the redness but she would get very hyper and

out of control emotionally for days if she had a phenolic infraction

(before No Fenol.)

Sorry but I'm no help on the metals stuff. I know fillings are bad

but I'm not sure about braces. I'm sure someone else will help there.

Good luck and I hope it works out for you!!

Thanks . I think the corn tortillas may be a goer! I'm sure I have

seen them one sale here somewhere. Today I increased him to 2 AFP and 1ZP,

1No-fenol with each GFCF meal, and a No-fenol in between lunch and tea. He

had the best day for a long time! Speech was amazingly clear and he was

sooo appropriate and focussed. I think the phenol issue is a big clue to

some of the problems we have seen.

Thanks again for your help.

Cheers

No doubt Dr. Brzezinski has helped people. He now charges $18,000.00

just to walk in the door for the initial treatment. The son of a friend is

fundraising to go to his clinic very soon.

What is the difference between spinal canal stenosis and neural foramina

stenosis? I'm trying to get intelligent information together before I actually

see the doctor next week.

Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!

[Guest guest]

...

This is from http://www.spine-health.com:

Major types of stenosis include:

*

Foraminal stenosis. As the nerve root is about to leave the

canal through a side hole (lateral foramen), a bone spur (osteophyte)

can press on the nerve root. This type of stenosis may also be called

lateral spinal stenosis. This is by far the most common form of spinal

stenosis. 72% of cases of foraminal stenosis occur at the lowest

lumbar level, trapping the emerging nerve root (a major part of the

sciatic nerve).

*

Central stenosis. A choking of the central canal, called central

spinal stenosis in the lumbar (low back) area can compress the sack of

the horse's tail (cauda equina, or cauda equine). Central spinal

stenosis is more common at the second lowest lumbar spinal level and

above and is largely caused by redundancy of a ligament (ligamentum

flavum) which is associated with protecting the dura and arises from

the inside part of the facet joint.

*

Far Lateral stenosis. After the nerve has left the spinal canal

it can also be compressed on the outside of the spine from either a

bony protrusion or disc bulge.

If you're confused, you can see vertebral diagrams here:
