Carnitine helped my son with these issues, along with enzymes.

When my son was never sick, it meant the cold/flu viruses were just

going straight into his brain. Once I started pulling them out and

correcting his immune system, he started getting sick. Then, once his

immune system was corrected and all the viruses were gone, he would

occasionally get sick, but no more than a mild case that lasted 2-3

days maximum.

It is possible your child's body is finally starting to try to fight

off viruses, rather than allowing them to just go into his brain.

Try giving vitamin C to start.

We had REALLY good luck when Dana suggested we start Carnitine. Wow. You have

to give it with fat and I'm not sure about the dosage for a 9 year old. We give

1000mgs/day.

hi all

i started my son(9 asd) on afp and zp in jan...main reason being not

gaining enough weight and seems to have kind of low muscle tone..

at the start of this there were no other health concerns other than

the one mentioned(ie weight) but since starting that so far it has

not helped with the issue at all...though i have seen gains like he

is more social, able to watch other kids and copy them (like when he

has to follow school routine etc)

he hardly used to fall sick before this and now has fallen ill twice

in last 6 months. i read here on this group that not falling sick is

bad too and all this time i thought his immune system was

good...anyway what does this mean with respect to enzymes???

does it mean they are working..they don't seem to be with weight

issue. he is becoming more picky eater than usual..should i stop for

6 months to see what is happening. he is not on GFCF..

i followed the improper fat absorption thread here but the symptoms

don't seem to match like wax in the ear and but he is skinny (he is 9

and in april his wt was about 53 lbs)

i am getting really confused..any thoughts?? i don't have a DAN doc.

the supplements he is on right now

afp + zp before meals

multivitamins

EFAs from nordic naturals

any ideas???

TIA

thanks a lot for the suggestions..where can I find dosage of

carnitine for a 9 year old...also you said to give with fat..does

that mean one should give it each time one eats meals with fat?

and ,sorry to sound so dumb, but don't most of our meals have some

fat in them??

thank you so much again

I started with 250mg and worked up from there.

It is not required to give it with fat, but it does help with the

proper absorption of fat, so you would give the fat with the

carnitine, not the carnitine with the fat, if that makes sense.

Depends on what you eat.
