What is amino acid therapy?

November 12, 2008

What is amino acid therapy? My boys have autism but also seem very ADHDish in

that they cannot focus and are rarely still.

Does Vitamin C chelate lead? What form of vitamin C and at what doses? We use

sodium ascorbate from Source Naturals maybe 1500 -2000mg per day given with

food.

Preemie mom should read Victory Over ADHD, the author had 2 preemies with

ADHD and some signs of autism and what really worked was amino acid therapy,

after she took the dairy out and chelated the lead out with high dose Vitamin

C....

Some practitioners focus on amino acids... e.g. Braverman, etc. Some

call it TAAT (targetted amino acid therapy)... It's basically giving the amino

acids that show low levels in the blood. Read up on Dr. Braverman (New

York). Also Billie Sahley is also into amino acid therapy. I really do

suggest you read Deborah Merlin's book, which is $20 at your bookstore on you

can

download it from her website. _www.victoryoveradhd.com_

(http://www.victoryoveradhd.com) Her husband wouldn't allow her to use

ritalin...so she

desperately tried natural alernatives. when her kids were in grade 8 her very

inspired doctor suggested an amino acid blood test and BINGO,,,, a simple

regimen of

some amino acids, vitamins, taurine and afew other things did some

absolutely fantastic things to her son Westley. Both preemies are now totally

normal.

also responded nicely to this therapy.... I do believe the kids were

taking about 1000 mg of vitamin C. I suggest you email deborah, we are good

friends now and she is oh so helpful.... best wishes. cathy
