Guest guest Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 We are also looking for something that works more steadily. SAM-e can be wonderful and soothing for many kids (and adults--try it!). It's expensive but we have found VERY helpful, particularly for anger, anxiety and agitation. We don't use it everyday, and frankly, given our history with supplements, I would be concerned that the good effects would wane if used daily. Better to have something effective for those really 'hostile' moments. In a message dated 4/9/2010 8:32:37 A.M.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 I have tried many different things for my son including vit B12, B3, Gabba, herbs, homeopathic remedies and the best thing so far is a product called MAX GXL. It helps the body produce and recycle glutathione. I had a Chiropractor from Hawaii tell me about it then he sent me some free samples, I am so glad he did because otherwise I might not have tried it had he not. My son first took one capsule a day then 2 now three and it is just the right ammount, these capsules easily mix with water, juice or the vitamin that the company made to go with it called N-fuse. I don't know how we ever lived without it. From: Ana Muniz <mkpa.us@...> Subject: [ ] Do you know any natural mood stabilizer for autism?

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Good morning, Jay, Be sure to look at the ingredients in MAX GXL. I believe Alpha Lipoic Acid. With a serving being 3 capsules, there is a total of 75mg of ALA. Just wanted to present this information. My plan is to add MAX GXL once I have started introducing ALA in our rounds of AC Chelation. I have heard great things about this product also. Thanks for sharing your positive experience with MAX GXL.

Ana, be very careful about self-medicating mood problems. I hear it can be very dangerous if you guess incorrectly about Sam-e. " One thing that is absolutely certain is that methionine and/or SAMe usually harm low-histamine (overmethylated persons)..... but are wonderful for high-histamine (undermethylated) persons. " http://alternativementalhealth.com/articles/walshMP.htm#Met I understand fish oil has mood stabilizing properties. Dr. Amen recommends it cf amenclinic.com. I was on a low dose of the mood stabilizer / anticonvulsant trileptal until I started taking 2 fish oil capsules daily--recommended by Dr. Amen's associate. After many months I discontinued the fish oil and the mood symptoms recurred over the course of a week. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 I didn't see it mentioned, but one thing that helped my son a lot in this area was lithium orotate. I had good reason to use it though, his hair test indicated off the charts low lithium. Also, chelation caused blood sugar surges and crashes for our son and feeding him frequent meals and snacks helped. I think that the lithium helped the blood sugar problem as well.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 my son has done great on Farm Fresh Goat milk (raw), for like a zillion reasons(nutrition,anti fungal/anti viral, medium chain fatty acids like the most healthy fats in the world that really aid in vit absorption... i can go on and on http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice & dbid=131 but as far as mood, it is a high source of that tryptophan http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=nutrient & dbid=103(sp?) He used to not take any dairy, it did a real job on his gut. All the mucus it tore him up. Then we figured out he could eat/drink local farm fresh raw cow's milk with no real Gut issues... no postives but a food we could add that had no negative impact, and we were so pleased. So later we tried farm fresh raw goats milk and not only did it not give us any trouble but it has been problable the single most dramatic healing food/suppliment/enzyme whatever we have tried to date... and we have had great successes with all the above as well so it was really that good. is now 3/4 the way thru kindergarten and 5 3/4 yo. At 3 he could not speak.. he had regressed to the piont where he spent his days making patterns in the carpet and obsessing with wheeels. Now speaks in 7-10 words sentances, and reads simple books, has 80+ sight words and at his special education meeting they said all of his tests scores were competetly smack in the midlle average of all the kindergarten kids in america... with his reading being slightly ahead. He is definately going on to 1st grade(with speach 3x a week, and some OT for his grip) These tests were taken in Jan during a after Holiday regressing so they are likeley even better. So for us it worked and it was noticeable right away and with no bad side affects, he sleeps better , is more present and talkative and the eye contact has never been better. It was the best medicine yet and if I had to I would pay $100 a glass its that valuable to his protocal. We keep our own goat so I can control what she eats. I keep dwarf Nigerians and they are smaller than most dogs and give about a qt a day and i live in a village and keep them in my backyard pened liek you would dogs. The animals are a great conversation piece for all disabled children. thanks for listening Crystal > > > > Hello everybody, > > My son is autistic and I am looking for some natural medicine to help the behavior - natural mood stabilizer.
