Peptizyde/Zyme Prime 4-month Summary Report

[Guest guest]

The summary report on the 4 month performance of these products along

with other information on using digestive enzymes is completed and

posted in the Files section of the enzymesandautism board at:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/enzymesandautism/files/Peptizyde%20Zyme%

20Prime%20Summary%20Report.doc

The entire thing is 20 pages long (I like to be thorough, LOL) and I

don't want to tie up people's email, especially if they are not

interested. I can send it to your personally, just let me know. You

are free to distribute it as you like as long as parts are not used

out of context and the original contact information is retained. The

purpose for this is sometimes information tends to get mixed and

matched until it no longer resembles the original at times, and this

way people can contact me directly if they have questions or don't

understand something. Dr. Devin Houston was asked to review a

preliminary draft (which hardly resembles the final copy) for

technical accuracy but he will be seeing this with the numbers for

the first time here along with everyone else. He was not involved in

the original idea, the development of or the writing of this.

Thank you,

The Executive Summary (the short version) is posted below.

Peptizyde and HN-Zyme Prime 4-Month Summary

from the Enzymes and Autism Board

L. DeFelice kjorn@... August, 2001

Executive Summary

·The overwhelming majority of respondents saw noticeable improvements

with Peptizyde and HN-Zyme Prime. Of 151 total respondents (100%)

using these products for at least 3 weeks, 131 (87%) reported

positive results, 12 (8%) reported negative results, and 8 (5%)

reported inconclusive results.

·Significant improvements were seen in eye contact, language, humor,

foods tolerated, foods accepted, sleep, weight gain or loss,

digestion, stools/bowels, overall appearance, transitioning,

socialization, awareness, problem solving, short-term memory,

flexibility in routine, range of interests, sound and light

tolerance, sensory integration, spontaneous affection, and energy

level among others.

·Significant decreases were seen in aggression, hyperness, anxiety,

self-stimming, self-injurious behavior, pain, and headaches among

others.

·Most positive results were apparent within the first 3 weeks. Most

people say any side effects or adjustment effects which start with

enzyme use stop within 3 weeks.

·The majority of respondents (about 85%) were either 100% GFCF or

partial GFCF with enzymes. More gluten/casein foods were added as

people stayed with Peptizyde over time. More foods were added in

general with both products over time.

·Parents saw significant improvements whether they are on or not on a

restrictive diet.

·Most people return to eating most foods, although not all people can

eat all foods. Some guidelines are noted in this summary in Part 2.

·Most people see side reactions associated with an adjustment period

from 1-3 weeks.

·Timing is key to getting consistently positive results.

·Many people see the Happy Child Effect, which refers to the general,

overall positive disposition of the child once they start taking

Peptizyde and Zyme Prime regularly. The child becomes noticeably more

pleasant, easy going, cooperative, and helpful.

·People having difficulties or concerns when starting enzymes were

far more likely to achieve positive results when they posted their

concerns on the enzymesandautism board for assistance rather than

attempt to discern the problem themselves. This is attributed to

getting more education and information on using enzymes which helped

them make any needed adjustments.

·Some people were able to significantly reduce their costs on food

and supplements by using Peptizyde and Zyme Prime. This correlated to

length of time on enzymes and to what extent they remained on a

restrictive diet.

·Most parents found using enzymes was far more convenient and

flexible than a restrictive diet. This greatly reduced stress and

increased happiness for the entire family, improving their quality of

life.

·A few people have seen no results either way; however, a few people

have improved to the extent they no longer fit the criteria for their

previous diagnosis.

·Enzymes have been used for years to safely assist in food

intolerances/allergies, leaky gut, yeast and immune system support

among others. Some people report seeing these additional benefits as

well.

·Most respondents posted that Peptizyde and Zyme Prime were an

important part of their child's improvement but not to the extent

that other therapies or medications were no longer needed. Each

family re-evaluated their treatment plan as needed. Most say that

adding these enzymes were definitely beneficial and made most other

therapies more productive. They say the addition of enzymes allow

them to streamline their overall plan to a more efficient, easier,

convenient, cheaper, effective and simpler treatment.

The summary report is present in two parts in detail. After a

description of how the information was gathered, Part 1 contains the

results, and Part 2 contains additional information such as

guidelines for who is likely to see benefits, how to get best results

and side effects.
