You can call on their toll free number or email. Dr. Houston is very

generous with his time in answering questions and helping you to know

if this product will meet your needs, and helping you feel

comfortable with your decision. He is quite forward when he feels you

will not benefit.

I have the utmost respect for anyone who even ATTEMPTS the GFCF diet -

because it can be pretty rough in our society. I did it and

wow...GFCF parents deserve a medal. (no one visiting the

enzymesandautism board is ever discouraged from the diet - it is

obviously extrememly important in the recovery of many; lurkers

welcome). Other answers after white space.

Other questions:

This is not prescription. Digestive enzymes are classified as a food.

Peptizyde/Zyme Prime are entirely plant-based enzymes. This

particular formulation is very new and hence, people may not be

familiar with it. However, there are no long term adverse effects

recorded for any plant-based enzymes ever that I have ever seen in

researching digestive enzymes. There is no " toxic " or harmful limit

(you can't take too much - I read where some cancer patients take 60

capsules/day to keep the immune system strong during chemotherapy!).

Long-term effects for digestive enzymes are quite beneficial in a

number of areas and increase with continued use. There is much, much

research on this that has been conducted for decades - particularly

starting in the 1930s. Enzymes are wonderful for immune system

support, fight yeast and bad bacteria, gut and bowel problems,

increase nutrient absorption, and detoxing the body especially the

gut and blood. Because a person's body starts decreasing in enzyme

production as you age, older people need to take enzymes to help with

digestion. You can search under digestive enzymes for quite a

selection. Also, the fundamentals of enzyme therapy can be found by

searching for Dr. Howell.

We did not stay GFCF with the enzymes (okay, alot of the food intake

was not GFCF, however we do follow the external GFCF protocol, as

well as soy, cleaners, chemicals, dyes, etc. but I know what you

mean). Some other parents who were GFCF for a year or more are still

100% with the diet.

Also, we did not do peptide testing solely because of the numerous

reports of the " squirrely-ness " of the results - higher results after

a year of diet, low results before diet and then positive reactions

to the diet, etc. And now with the whole soy issue... I would love a

solid reliable test for any of this. We didn't want to spend the

money if it wasn't going to be concrete. My view only.

As for gluten slowly creeping back into the body and then you have a

collosal breakdown, I have this comment from a mother who strictly

adhered to the diet for 1 year then went off. I asked her if she was

afraid of this and she replied:

" If my son has a major collapse, so will I! Actually, I won't, I'll

just rack this up to one long, beautiful vacation. I don't really

foresee a collapse due to going off the diet, I only fear him

developing a sensitivity to one of the ingredients. The reason I

don't see this as " going off the diet " as others have done with a

resulting regression, is because he is better than ever. Others

maintain for awhile, then gradually decline. "

She only intended to use enzymes for contaminations, and has been

using enzymes for 2 1/2 months. The numbers I have seen say

regression happens between 6 and 10 weeks. Her name is Cindy Kelley

and please email her directly at ckelley100@..., or on the

enzymesandautism board. She has worked with Beth Bowers and is quite

an activist for the autism cause. Her son is 8 (again, well over

preschool age, she started the diet at 6 1/2 yrs.)

With due respect to all. Hope this helps.
