Re: Do you know any natural mood stabilizer for autism? to M...

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

You know, that's the funny thing. My son did horrible on B-12 and he took

it daily, with raging after a couple of weeks. But SAM-e, when he takes

it as needed, seems to work well. However, if he took it everyday, it might

be a different story.

So maybe just try it during the really rough days--but beware daily use, if

B-12 is an issue..?

SAMe is _the_ big time methylator. If B-12 makes your child do weird

things, SAMe will have the same effect.

For mood stabilization, Andy recommends GABA or lithium orotate. You

don't really describe what the symptoms are; it could very well be a

choline issue.

Aren't there at least two types of b12, methylcobalamin and cyanocobalamin (the

cheap b12)? Could that be a factor? Maybe your child benefits from the

'methyl' from Sam-e but was not getting it from cyanocobalamin.
