Reaction to GABA, CBS Gene, Yasko Testing

[Guest guest]

Hello,

We have done the Yasko Nutrigenomic testing and it turns out that my son has a

double mutation on the CBS gene. Part of the treatment for this is to give GABA.

I started with a minute dose (like 1/3 of a grain of rice). We had a huge

reaction with this (my son is crazy sensitive). I used the Thorne PharmaGaba-100

brand.

I thought GABA could only help in our situation so I don't understand why he had

a reaction.

We also tried some Molybdenum with a similar reaction. This is also supposed to

be helpful and his molybdenum is low.

My son has really high neurotransmitters (all of them). Anything that has the

effect of increasing neurotransmitters is bad for him. We get aggression,

tantrums, etc, similar to what happened with GABA but GABA is supposed to

decrease them. I'm puzzled.

Any suggestion would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Geneviève

Genevieve,

We've not done Yasko testing. However, I wanted you to know that we've also had

negative reaction to the GABA[seizures]. Anyone have an answer for this?

Is there an ingredient in both that he could be sensitive to? My kids are really sensitive to many supplements. Minute things can throw them off.Sent from my iPhone

My son had a severe reaction until I found a sublingual type from vitamin shop.they do not have it always,  but when they do I buy a few bottles.

We did no Yasko testing but I question Yasko's recommendations of

certain things. It's not that I think the testing is not valid, but I

think Yasko's interpretation and protocol treat a certain set of kids.

I'd take Yasko's recommendations with a grain of salt (not everything

will apply to your son and you need to sort through that) and I think

I would look outside what she recommends and really study your child's

labs for yourself and look things up. I would not rely solely on

Yasko's recommendations. I know a lot of people where this exact

thing happened to them with GABA. Yasko's interpretation says they

need GABA but their kids reacted very negatively to it.

You want to study the GABA shunt that runs off the Krebs Cycle, if

your son needs to raise his GABA levels. Calcium is required to turn

glutamate into GABA...but that's absorbed calcium, which means that if

he does exhibit signs of high calcium like my son did, then ensuring

the absorption of calcium (i.e. with adequate magnesium, Vit D) may be

a good step. And to move GABA on (to prevent toxicity of GABA, like

what my daughter had -- let me tell ya, this does some evil things to

motor planning and speech), you'd raise the variables that metabolize

succinic acid (B2, CoQ10).

Take a look around at some metabolic diagrams of the GABA shunt.

Gaba reacts on his stomach, that was my case, my son takes gaba and inmediately feels sick, sometimes throw up everything. So I've reject about to give him gaba, in despite of most of his neurotransmitters are low. My solution was to find something that improves his biorythm, starting for a better slepping and tried 1,5 mg melatonin half an hour to go to bed and days gonna be better, aditional to it, take some minerals such as molybdenum o sea water before breakfast.There are a theory that gaba does not work if candida levels are too high, because aminoacids increases gaba, so is interesting that you look for more or observes a lot your child in order to find what's the more that reacts on him.I hope my advise be understandable, my english is not perfect (gonna be worst in medical terms, heheh) :PEnviado desde mi dispositivo BlackBerry® de Orange.Sender: mb12valtrex Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2013 21:20:38 -0000To: <mb12valtrex >ReplyTo: mb12valtrex Subject: Reaction to GABA, CBS Gene, Yasko Testing Hello,We have done the Yasko Nutrigenomic testing and it turns out that my son has a double mutation on the CBS gene.
