ExtraDAN: Negative Behaviror and Supplements

[Guest guest]

This is general commentary I derived from the talks. People have

mentioned hyperactivity as a negative sometimes when they start

ezymes. This is also characteristic of beginning the GFCF diet.

Several presenters mentioned this when starting any of several

supplements. Glutamine was mentioned as being quite good for gut

healing. However, if you see the hyper/negative behavior, then stop

immediately. Go back to focusing on general nutrition and more gut

healing first with a nutritious diet, probiotics and enzymes. Then

later resume the glutamine.

Dr. Walsh said the same when trying to add zinc to balance the

excessive copper. If a person reacts badly to the zinc, back off on

the dose and go slower. This indicates the copper is being dumped

into the body too quickly and the body cannot detox fast enough.

We see the same with epsom salts. Sometimes the child will react

badly to a epsom salt bath, so lower the amount of salts and continue

and the child will improve.

Dr. Baker said it also happens commonly with yeast treatments. The

child may become hysterical while " on " the treatment but this is the

yeast die-off/toxin reactions. He said one client went through three

rounds of outlandish bad behavior. They also saw this accompanied by

improvements so they continued. Eventually the yeast was in balance

and the child showed remarkable improvment.

Dr. Holmes said the same with chelation. Look for negative behavior

with the " on " cycles. If the negative behavior continues through to

the " off " cycles, then you have a bug problem and need to stop

chelation and deal with that first. If is it just during the " on

cycles, it indicates detox of metals.

So this seems to be a very common part of the healing process. I just

wanted to throw this out because it is always worrisome to see

someone going through a bad time. It seems to be a tricky issue when

starting a therapy of evaluating if it is a true intolerance and

should be stopped, or withdrawal/die-off/detox and should be

continued? The general consensus seems to be 1)back off and go slower

if possible, or 2) let the bad stuff run a few days and see if the

negative behavior improves after time. After a few days, stop and re-

evaluate.
