Re: NOW New with questions

[Guest guest]

I'm not 100% sure how the biotin helps with yeast. I believe it is a

processing issue. Dana has more info and experience with that. It was

on her recommendation that I added the biotin. I added it for both me

and my son and found it did make a difference. So, didn't question it a

lot. Some things I feel a real need to understand how and why, others I

don't. Biotin is a pretty safe one, so just took the initial

explanation and recommendation and tried it. We are using much less GSE

now. I believe some of that is due to healing through chelation, but

some to adding biotin. I can't chelate yet, so I know that my reduced

need of GSE is pretty much the biotin.

iHerb is our first and best stop for most things. I like he variety of

brands, and especially the prices. I believe we got Natural Factors ALA,

but can't be sure. It is with the pharmacist now. She said she will

order the ALA for me when this runs out though. The price is comparable

through here, and she says it will be cleaner - less fillers. There are

very few supplements we don't get at iHerb now though. That will be one

of the few exceptions. The pharmacist is planning to chelate also, so

she will keep the ALA on hand for compounding for anyone as necessary.

Cool, huh? She's even reading Andy's book!!

Best to you on your journey!

Dana explained Biotin to me before. Biotin is produced by the good

bacteria in the gut. So it helps to control yeast overgrowth. If there

is no good bacteria then most ASD kids are low in Biotin. There is

probably a lot I am missing, but the main part of Biotin is that it is

produced in the gut to help with yeast.
