Just heard -tell me Ocytocin isn't true!!

[Guest guest]

just told me tonight after sharing her grandson's continued success on

fish oils and nutriiveda that she heard the new " trend " I guess after trying

Alzheimer's, herpes and other adults off label medication -why not put children

on the addictive http://cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN & cpsidt=1672286 drug

Oxytocin? By the way since we are talking in this case the nasal spray the name

is also Syntocinon but the side effects I have below are the exact same.

So tell me why parents are afraid of essential amino acids (and did I just hear

cinnamon which God please tell me that's due to allergy and not just fear of

cinnamon!!???) but some professional publishes

Autism: Oxytocin Improves Social Behavior of Patients, Study Finds

What's next rat poison improves eye contact? " before he would not look at us

now he just lays there staring up at us. Yes he's no longer moving or breathing

but his eye contact is incredible! "

In light of this I can't even believe we have to have discussions here on the

" safety " of food!!!!! Essential amino acids and essential fatty acids and

nutrients from food sources!!!

who's grandson's initial surges are here

http://pursuitofresearch.org/testimonials.html (and in our archives) shared an

update with me over the phone that her grandson diagnosed with autism who never

responded to anything prior to nutriiveda is now trying to imitate (!!), trying

to talk more, " the eye contact is incredible " and they are thrilled with his

progress. His teacher pulled her daughter over and said " what are you giving

him " How many times am I hearing that now? Over and over. Just today I was

talking to my friend Bibi (Dr. Gisleda Ramos) who has 2 nephews with speech

issues from 2 different sisters. One is diagnosed with apraxia the other they

suspected it. Both since being on nutriiveda are starting to talk. Her one

sister is more consistent in making sure her child is getting nutriiveda every

day and her son is now " talking up a storm " Her other sister keeps forgetting

to give it to him in spite of the surges- and this is the sister who has a child

diagnosed with apraxia. Yesterday she again forgot to give her son nutriiveda

and when she went to pick him up from school the preschool teacher said " Did you

give ___ that powder today because I have to tell you I can tell when you don't

because he regresses by the afternoon " And Bibi's sister said " I did forget to

give it to him this morning " Bibi said to me " I could wring her neck! " (out of

love of course

Well just in case anyone didn't know the side effects of ocytocin just ONE of

them (again?) is seizures...again is it no wonder that all of a sudden late

onset seizures are now considered par for the course in our population of

children when I'm telling you it wasn't like that years ago. Here are some

other side affects per body system from drugs.com

Side Effects by Body System (for ocytocin/Syntocinon)

Cardiovascular

Cardiovascular side effects have included hypertension, premature ventricular

contractions, sinus tachycardia, and other cardiac arrhythmias. Neonatal

bradycardia, premature ventricular contractions and other arrhythmias have been

reported.

Nervous system

Nervous system side effects have included mania-like disturbances and seizures.

The seizures may have been related to water intoxication. Neonatal seizures and

permanent CNS or brain damage has been reported.

Metabolic

Metabolic side effects have included water intoxication resulting in coma and

seizures.

Hypersensitivity

Hypersensitivity side effects have included anaphylactic reactions.

Genitourinary

Genitourinary side effects have included pelvic hematoma. Excessive doses have

produced pelvic fracture, uterine hypertonicity, spasm, tetanic contraction and

rupture.

renal plasma flow. Doses of 40 milliunits per minute may produce significant

decreases in urine output.

Another article of interest on this:

The dark side of oxytocin:

Oxytocin is usually described as the 'trust hormone' owing to its involvement in

social bonding but a new study covered by Scientific American suggests it may

have a wider role in human interaction as it has been found it increase feelings

of envy and gloating.

The study, led by psychologist Simone Shamay-Tsoory, used a familiar format in

oxytocin research. It asked participants to play a competitive game while half

were given a nasal spray containing the hormone and half were given a placebo

spray.

Although they thought they were playing another participant, in reality, they

were playing a computer programmed to act in a certain way to elicit competitive

emotions:

The computer was programmed to either win more money than the players to

trigger feelings of envy, lose more money to elicit a form of gloating known as

schadenfreude (delight over another's misfortune) or to win or lose equal

amounts of money. To encourage these negative emotions, the researchers gave the

computer player an arrogant " personality " . They did this by asking the

volunteers to appraise their chances of winning more money than the other

player; although nearly all volunteers predicted 50–50 odds, they were told

their opponents gave themselves an 80 percent chance of winning.

When compared with a placebo, volunteers who inhaled oxytocin said they felt

greater levels of envy or gloating when they lost or won more money than the

computer, respectively—findings the researchers detailed online July 29 in

Biological Psychiatry. On the other hand, when the volunteers were questioned

after the game, inhaling oxytocin apparently had no effect either following

gains of equal amounts of money or on mood in general.

The researchers also measured mood in general and found no change, suggesting

the increase in negative feelings toward others couldn't be explained as a

general intensifying of emotions.

In their paper, they note several exceptions to the media stereotype that

oxytocin is a 'hug hormone', citing studies that it increases aggression and

territorial defence in some species. Also contrary to the cliché, a recent study

[pdf] found it had no effect on empathy for other people's pain.

They conclude that, rather than being a something that promotes trust and

bonding, oxytocin enhances all social emotions, including the good, the bad and

the ugly.

Goody-Goody Hormone Now Linked to Envy, Gloating

Snorting oxytocin, shown in recent years to trigger all kinds of feel-good

emotions, might also incite envy and gloating

" Breathing in the hormone oxytocin has been shown in recent years to trigger all

kinds of feel-good emotions in people, such as trust, empathy and generosity.

Now scientists find it might have a dark side: Snorting oxytocin might also

incite envy and gloating.

Past studies have shown that oxytocin plays a wide role in social bonding in

mammals—between mates, for instance, or mother and child—and recent work

suggested the hormone was linked with pro-social behavior in people, such as

altruism.

Still, neuroscientist Simone Shamay-Tsoory in University of Haifa in Israel and

her colleagues noted that oxytocin was found to raise aggression in rodents,

suggesting the hormone might play a wider role in social emotions in humans. The

researchers decided to investigate envy and gloating—feelings related to the

tendency to compare oneself with others—to see if oxytocin ramped up these

emotions or dialed them down. "
