Guest guest Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 Dr.Bruce West,MD who I regard very highly had an interesting article in his newsletter Health Alert for October 2003. The article is titled " Seizures,Shakes, Tremors and Gluten. " He notes that in some cases of childhood epilepsy, nothing short of an Atkins-style low carbohydrate, high protein and fat diet can stop the seizures, even anticonvulsant drugs. He then observes that this diet, by limiting carbohydrates in general basically eliminates wheat and gluten. He observes that dramatic relief can take place in a matter of days, although neurological problems usually take longer for nutritional changes to see results. He suggests elimonation of wheat and gluten (wheat,barley,oats,beans and legumes) for 30 days. even if the neurological problem is not resolved, it will almost assuredly help some other health condition. This is " essential for infants and young kids with epilepsy. " He also recommends to include two supplements from Standard Process Laboratories. Cataplex F ,1-2 per meal and Calcium Lactate 2-4 per meal. The unsaturated fatty acids in Cataplex F acts as a " middleman " for the flow of calcium to the muscles and cells. Calcium Lactate is the most assimilable form of calcium available. Standard Process Laboratories products are not usually available through most Health Food Stores and are usually sold through health practitioners. They are one of the oldest suplement companies and their products are made from organically grown crops and organically raised livestock.Then processed without heat destroying processing. Some of the names of their products are unique and not quite comparable to others. Cataplex F contains vitamin F-essential fatty acids,B-6,iodine,liver fat extract,calcium lactate,flaxseed oil extract and more. Calcium Lactate contains calcium and magnesium. It is in a form easily absorbed. Standard Process Laboratories products are sold by Willner Chemists in New York City. They are located at 100 Park Avenue, near 41st Street I believe they have another store in Atlanta,Georgia, they ship allover call tel. 800-633-1106 or 212-682-2817 <A HREF= " www.willner.com " >www.willner.com</A> For Dr.West, see his site <A HREF= " www.healthalert.com " >www.healthalert.com</A> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
