Re: DMG ???

[Guest guest]

Found this in the archives from last year (there are two messages here as I

posted the one on top of the other) Another name for DMG is pangamic acid so

you can search under that as well. And yes others report what you did if you

check the archives. I never tried this- never used it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~two archives

One more thing -after finding this from the book Sports Nutrition:

Vitamins and Trace Elements:

" An area of concern for the DMG supporter is that large doses may be

hazardous to humans. DMG has been shown to be converted to

nitrosarcosine, a weak carcinogen, in the stomach of mice.

Nitrosatable sompounds can cause cancer in humans. Any benefit of

DMG should deter it's use because of the possibility of it's

mutagenesis effect. More research is needed with regard to DMG and

physical performance "

I searched under nitrosarsoine and DMG and found this informative

paper. So not sure what to believe on DMG! (More rat studies?)

Hi ,

 

     Our DAN! dr gave DMG for our son, but we haven't tried it yet.  It can

help a lot with speech for some kids (I have friends who've had success using it

for their children), but the dr warned that some children do experience

increased hyperactivity on it.  If that happened, she told us to stop giving it,

since not all kids are going to tolerate it well. 

Best of luck,

In January our naturopath prescribed DMG for our daughter, among many other

things. I waited a few months before giving her the DMG because we were changing

her diet and giving her some other supplements (fish oil, folate, calcium/D,

probiotics). Today I tried the DMG for the first time and I gave her 1/4 the

suggested amount.

I'm not sure whose daughter is upstairs in her crib going bonkers, but she is a

very different child from the one I have been raising. WTF is up with this

stuff? Excuse my language, but I'm feeling shocked. Has anyone had behavioral

changes with DMG?

Thank you for your help.

Hello,

I still need to properly introduce myself; I've been lurking since some weeks

ago, and no posting because my English is quite baaaad --I'm from Argentina

(South America), I live there; we speak Spanish down here.

But just wanted to share what I've read about DMG:

You're such a wonderful group! I love the support you offer, I do love you all

sometimes disagree. And ... I have no words to thank you for your work

later..!

Hi There,

Did she recommend straight up DMG or DMG with Folinic Acid? Kirkman makes a

liquid DMG with B12 and Folinic Acid as combined. That may cut down the

hyperactivity, but some kids cannot tolerate DMG at all. My son is one of them.

For those kids, they often suggest TMG instead. You can speak to your

naturopath about that, too.

Hope this helps...
