What to do for carotene conversion problems?

Dana,

What did you feed your son early on that he could tolerate especially when he

could not eat yellow or green veggies?

I would try milk thistle and taurine for liver support.

My son's skin was yellow colored as an infant, because of improper

carotene conversion. I had to remove all carotenes [orange and green

foods primarily] until I corrected that problem. Selenium was

required, along with vitamin C, zinc, and proper thyroid functioning.

It also required ALA chelation.

You can do that if you want.

Only certain yellows were a problem, like corn. Certain reds were

also a problem. It was orange and green that were major problems.

Pinto beans, wax beans, chicken, pears and peeled apples with No-Fenol

enzyme, wheat with AFP Peptizyde.
