Re: Gi pain and sleep WAS:melatonin - my kid is sleeping :)))

[Guest guest]

Somewhat OT,but ever since I've been doing the diet,probiotics,and enzymes,my

malabsorption and food reactions are gone,but I am back where I was as a

child,with the hard,difficult to pass two foot long BMs,and the severe GI pain

that wakes me up,or won't let me sleep.It's like I am five years old all over

again.Does anybody have any answers for this pain ?

Hi,

Thank you

I'll check out SMARTBrain technologies. . you're the best

You can purchase SmartBrain and use at home - we have bought it and will be

trying it out. Supposed to work on ADD/ADHD issues - that was our reason for

purchase - would be great to find it works for sleep too!

Deb

(BIG p.s. Because of our success with the Proteus, I found a local psychologist

who specializes in neurofeedback. My son was tested and found to have an

" abnormal " brain (qEEG study) compared to a nationally normed large sample. He's

high beta and hypercoherent, basically opposite of ADD, more like OCD or

Asperger-ish. Using NASA-patented technology, he plays video games and the

doctor programs the game to futz out (slow down, fail) when he's using the wrong

brainwaves to think. And, it's fixing him! His moods are good, no meltdowns, and

things are getting better each time. Highly recommended if you can find a

certified practitioner of the SMARTBrain technologies! !). (p.s. he said that

the neurofeedback also fixes sleep issues ...).

This was major constipation at my house, which was caused by four things: rice,

yeast overgrowth, magnesium deficiency, and mitochondrial dysfunction. What

supps do you use? What foods do you usually eat?

Food is generally a matter of avoiding casein,corn,and a product by product

avoidance of other carbs.

HLC Mindlinx,an multienzyme product and too many others to list.

How does mitochondria play a part here?

Lots of supps caused constipation here, primarily because they required

magnesium for proper absorption, so I had to significantly increase the

magnesium when starting those.

Mitochondrial dysfunction caused my son to be unable to properly absorb fats.

His symptoms were severe aggression, ear wax, and terrible constipation. Once I

started mito cocktail and increased magnesium, all of those problems disappeared

and he had significant gains.

I wish people would get it into their heads that " mitochondrial dysfunction " ,and

inability to absorb fats can be secondary problems.The main issues are often

caused by a folate metabolism disorders and high homocysteines.

My son had mitochondrial dysfunction, severe folic acid deficiency, several

other severe deficiencies, several severe toxicities, hypothyroid, adrenal

issues, carotene conversion issues, viruses in his brain, and lots of other

issues.

They were ALL secondary problems to heavy metal poisoning. I had to first

remove the metals, then address each of those problems.

Dana

[Guest guest]

Removing metals is one of the factors that does away with the autism,not the

folate metabolism disorders.Detox the metals,and you STILL have problems with

folate and high homocysteine.The inability to detoxify metals comes from COMT

mutations,the folate metabolism problems come from MTHFR mutations.Different

problems that often exist side by side,and are probably part of a polymorphic

metabolic syndrome.

Again, this is so interesting! I think when we started down our path of biomed,

we were just trying to get symptom relief. Our son had a horrible anesthesia

reaction, and went from neurotypical to absolutely out of his mind overnight.

Another reason I need to get a MTHFR.

We worked on yeast, we worked on bacteria. It came back. We're doing it again. I

don't want to keep on this cycle forever.

So as I did deeper, I do start to think that folate metabolism might be getting

closer to the problem behind the problem.

As far as metals, we are fortunate. We have slightly elevated lead and slight

antimony, but nothing alarming. What I'm hoping is that we can work on the

folate metabolism, and the body will detox the metals on its own, rather than

chelate to get rid of the metals and hope the folate starts working properly.

Maybe a pipe dream, but I can hope!

Yes, as I wrote previously, first I had to remove the metals, then I had to fix

all the things that the metals had caused. Removing the metals was only the

first step.

It has been a long process, but my severely autistic son is about 98%

biomedically recovered now. He still needs a supplement, so I can't call him

100% recovered yet.

Do you have to keep your son on the mito cocktail long term, or did he end up

healing enough not to require it anymore?

He needed mito cocktail for probably 18 months. He no longer needs it.

Dana

I have metabolic mutations,but not primary mitochondrial ones.I use some of the

mito cocktail.I have found that I still get mito crashes,although not as

frequently.I use 5-10 grams of creatine when these come on.
