Guest guest Posted June 20, 2001 Report Share Posted June 20, 2001 Yes, dependent on... * Whether or not you can afford to make this kind of experiment: If the cost is trivial to you, then you should use the enzymes for the sake of safety. If you're having to make difficult choices about priorities, you could consider... * Whether or not your child has been long on the diet: For the first six months or so, the basic cross contamination problem is likely to be so small, that you don't need to bother with enzymes just for that. However, enzymes can be very useful for clearing up other (hidden) cross contamination issues as well AND for helping to " de-tox " the system by disposing of peptide molecules that have been stored in the patient's tissue. Of course, you could call the producer of the Urecholine, and ask them to give you a statement about the purity of their lactose. If they guarantee flatly that the protein content is below 0,0001%, and if the lactose content in each dose of Urecholine is 1 gram, then we're talking about really tiny fractions of milligrams. That's so small that I don't think that it can possibly be significant, except in very rare cases. * In order to approach a pharmacologically effective dose, I would guess that you need approximately 10-50 milligrams of protein. * The dose could be a bit smaller, and still be significant, if there are absolutely no natural peptidase enzymes present, but even so, the peptides tend to " leak " out through the urine and there must be some lower limit, below which the peptides can not be expected to accumulate to " dangerous " levels. If you look up www.advimoss.no/GFCF_results , you will find a little more information about peptides, enzymes etc. Yours n Klaveness www.advimoss.no/GFCF_survey -----Opprinnelig melding----- Fra: Lake260@...
