Guest guest Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Thank you that was very helpful. We have the minerals and vitamins mostly covered. Due to her soft tooth enamel, we have the calcium, magnesium and zinc going daily. The Vit A, E, milk thistle, adrenal cortex, Vitamin C, D. She is also on Learning Factors. Lots of sea salt We are however missing tyrosine in any big quantity. She does get a bit in the multi and her fortiflax, but maybe not enough. Not on B12, wasn't sure she has a methy issue, but I guess if Hg toxic, probably. EnZymAid going but she is not consistent with that. Taurine a bit but she could use more. NAC...probably needs that too. My son is taurine and I agree it's wonderful. I will have to be more diligent on getting more into her. I do have a problem with iodine..does anyone have a clue where I could get sodium iodide?? I have not gotten in depth with my iodine from potassium issue on this board, but I cannot use it neither can she. We have a rare muscle disorder called a potassium aggravated myotonia...I know to add to the list of problems... But anyway.. I tried iodine supplementing myself and withing a week, I could barely move my legs and I was in a ton of pain. So my iodine source cannot be potassium based. I emailed Andy for help on this because he was a chemist..and he said if I could get sodium iodide, it would provide the iodine we would need without the potassium. However, I am not sure where ever I could get that. So at this time..we are eating as much sea salt as we want, but I know it's probably not enough. If anyone has a clue where we could get sodium iodide...?? > > > > I have posted off an on about my 12 yr old Nt kid and the problems we > > are having with depression and moods.
