Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Out of all the nuts and nutbutters, peanut butter is the worst for autistic or adhd children. There's two fold problems. 1) High Phenols 2) aflatoxins Aflatoxins are the byproducts of a fungus that prefers peanuts. They strain the body in the excretion, using body reserves of glutathione, stressing the liver, and strain the whole body like any toxin or heavy metal exposure. And of course, high phenols. At least with almonds, even though medium phenolic content, as the body starts healing, over time there will be a bigger tolerance. Almonds are easily digested otherwise. We have been using Houston's No-Fenol enzymes, which have helped tremendously this past year with increasing my son's tolerance for higher phenol food. Actually, my sons are fine with almonds in moderation now, but we went 8 months with no peanuts (there is no known allergy or sensitivity here), and upon reintroduction nothing happened, but the second time and on, Hunter started reacting with hyperactivity as before. Are you using digestive enzymes? They will help slowly heal these phenol issues, amongst other attributes.
