OT: Elevated DHPPA and Probiotics

[Guest guest]

Hi! My DAN doctor has me giving my son (2 and 1/2; Mild ASD) 2 capsules / day

of the Kirkman's ProCulture gold to get rid of clostridium bacteria producing

DHPPA toxin (his level is almost 600). I am noticing a manageable but

noticeable dieoff effect and am wondering the following:

Does anyone have experience with this? How long did the die off last and did

you see improvements after it was over? Did you then have a problem with yeast

after the bacteria was eliminated?

Also, I know others have questioned the lab results. Does anyone know how Dr.

Shaw's laboratory came up with the reference ranges for the " normal " ? And/or

how many subjects were tested to come up with the normal reference ranges?

I am 100% for the diet and this protocol, but I think I would feel even more

comfortable if I could have a better idea about objective measures (The theory

is Dr. Shaw's?, The tests were designed by Dr. Shaw? The results are reported

by Dr. Shaw?)

Again, I'm not bashing, I just want to know if anyone else has these questions

and if anyone has found information. It also would help me with my regular

pediatrician to show him that something scientific that is independently

confirmed by someone other than Dr. Shaw's group.

Thanks so much!
