Re: Supplements for Behaviors/Deb

[Guest guest]

Taurine is calming and I don't believe it has caused any yeast. It has

definitely not caused any poor behavior. I buy 600mg caps and I started with 1

and then worked up to 4 or 5 at a time. I think that's a lot, but then again my

boy has severe rage and aggression and we were in an emergency situation.

He was kicked out of school (illegally) because they just couldn't handle him.

I nearly lost my childcare (my parents) because they just couldn't handle him.

It's not safe for him be like that.

Taurine has been one of our miracle supps. Chelation AC protocol is #1 on the

list. Taurine and Biotin #2.

Adrenal Cortex has also caused a lot of calming. I took his temp and he was all

over the board and I tried Adrenal Cortex Extract.

I TRULY believe in adding 1 supp at a time. I have tried so many supps over the

years and I was impatient. I would try a few at a time. Then you really don't

know if one of the supps is causing the rage.

So finally I started over AGAIN and I waited min of 4 or 5 days between supps.

If it was calming, I kept it. If not, I put it in a box and might try again

later because his needs might change.

I'm no expert. In fact I really hate that this is so difficult for me and my

boy suffers so badly. He's already 15 yo and the rage gets worse as they get

older, bigger, stronger.

However chin up, we are on the right track, and AC chelation and Taurine and

Biotin and liquid vitamins and ACE help a lot.

The mercury is the problem, not the boy, not the mom, not the supps.

I sympathize with you. My boy is also diagnosed with Acid Reflux and IBS. The

Acid Reflux was one of our worst problems and I believe was a major cause of

aggression in the past. AC chelation has reduced that to the point that we have

been able to elimiate the Rx Acid Reflux meds over the last 3 months.

They are bad because while they help reduce the acid and the pain, they don't

allow the body to digest, which worsens the constipation, and I believe then

worsens the Acid Reflux. It's a never ending cycle.

My boy had 2 endoscopy and colonoscopies, was on Rx Acid Reflux and IBS meds for

years, is strict GFCF for 10 years. Only the AC chelation using ALA every 3

hours has worked to resolve that. His digestive issues are improving for the

first time in his life.

ALA alone. I use 25mg ALA every 3 hrs around the clock every other weekend.

He is 134 lbs. I tried ALA 33mg and was not happy at all, I much prefer the

lower dose.

He is so calm on rounds and so happy. It is a wonderful miracle to see him so

calm. It has changed our lives.

My boy may have high lead also, not sure. We will worry about that later. ALA

is what is working right now. Trying the DMSA made him miserable, so we can't

go there right now.

I think at the minimum dose it resolves yeast. I think that is what Andy

Cutler's book talks about, that using ALA is what removes the mercury, and

ultimately resolves the yeast problem.

I give Candidase and Capryl and Biotin for yeast. I give them on round and off

round.

Giving too high a dose of ALA would cause yeast I think.

Biotin will help keep yeast in check. The good flora in the gut produce it. It

can cause die-off though.

We have acid reflux and yeast issues...and taurine has never bothered either. We

give 2000 mgs a day of taurine with no issues. Biotin has helped control

yeast...not increase it...but ya have to use big doses sometimes...sometimes we

have given up to 60+ mgs a day...divided to help the gut....and they routinely

take 32 mgs.

Sometimes it is a matter of weighing in on what is gonna help the most.

Chelation causes tons and tons of yeast....but I definately would not say not to

do it because of that. Sometimes you just have to find new ways of fighting old

issues so you can do the greater good....at least that is how it works at our

house.

No expert here but for my very yeast prone kiddos, ALA raised yeast levels

beyond belief...even on the min dosing. Alot I think depends on how the liver

is working, the ph base, their immune system and constipation levels. At our

house, we used high dose biotin, Candex, caprylic acid,undecylic acid and

nystatin....on and off rounds and sometimes...we had to stop for a few weeks to

get the yeast down to bearable levels for all of us. We also kept a low carb

diet and did lots of pros and left the sugar almost totally alone...definately

not a fun time or easy time...but the results have been great. We also used

DMSA, it is better for yeast, but doesn't cross the blood brain barrier, so ya

gotta do em both to get it all.

It used to be called Vit H before they reclassified it as a B vit (B7 I think).

It is good for yeast, but it can take high doses. My son takes about 40 mg a

day to help with mito function. Keeping yeast under control has been an added

bonus!

If you are interested in the re-classifications of the vitamins, you can also

check the Wikipedia entry on the newest classifications under " vitamins " --at

least I believe they are new.

Can you cite where you read this piece of information?
