Guest guest Posted August 16, 2002 Report Share Posted August 16, 2002 Niave question but what are enzymes? I mean do you give it to the child in herbs or something? I hope Idontsound too niave LOL Charlene -- (unknown) I'm wondering how many parents of girls with autism are trying the enzymes? I've joined the enzyme group on and hear quite a bit of good stuff regarding boys and enzymes, are girls showing the same signs of success? I'd like to start Olivia on them but want to hear from other parents first. Thanks, Rhonda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 16, 2002 Report Share Posted August 16, 2002 There is an enzymes and autism board that deals with the subject. Some autistic children have greatly benefited from using digestive enzymes in capsule form as supplements for their children.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2002 Report Share Posted August 16, 2002 It's to my understanding that they're basically designed to break up foods in the digestive tract and help get rid of the bad crap. It seems to allow alot of kids to go off the GFCF diet and eat regular stuff. You should check it out it's worth looking into, I just hope I'm not sinking my money into yet another super supplement that does nothing for my daughter. I'm a skeptic at heart but figure what the hell. Wouldn't it be grand if I finally did find something that worked! http://www.houstonni.com/pages/enzyme_faq.html http://www.enzymeuniversity.com/faq.html http://www.enzymedica.com (click on Questions) Here are some sights to check out and try the enzymes and autism group.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2002 Report Share Posted August 16, 2002 HELLO: yeah but just going to the gym and socialising it's a burden and u know how much we hate that interaction thing, i've learned by experience that it's much better to spend the time on intellectual things than by exercising and stuff, I do walk 3 times a week but i quit the weight training because it was exhausting me From: " a1thighmaster " <thighmaster@...> Reply-hypothyroidism hypothyroidism Subject: (unknown) Date: Fri, 16 Aug 2002 20:43:13 -0000 , I disagree. I find that it's " use it or lose it " that applies. People with thyroid disorders need exercise, particularly the muscle building type. Muscle is virtually the only metabolically active tissue in the body. Those with little muscle will have lower metabolism and be more prone to fatigue. I exercise several hours a week (not a day) and I find that I still have plenty of energy for a demanding full-time job and a *lot* of other activities. Best wishes, Celeste opined: > HELLO ALL: I have been doing less exercise and thus eating less > carbohydrates, there is a thought in the western culture that if you spend > hours a day exercising that you are alowed to eat more, but that only leads > to fatigue early in life and so much exercise is not right for people with > hypothyroidism because it wears you out and exhausts your constitution > blocking other activities.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2002 Report Share Posted August 16, 2002 Thanks for the information. I used b6 on my children with magnesium but this timeIdecided to buy from kirkman lab just for convience of not having to smash them. The 4 year old as well as the 9 year old doesnt swallow pills at all. I am now going tolook thisup to the enzymes and see if the price is OK Imay try that too.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2002 Report Share Posted August 17, 2002 I had to jump in here...we tried the enzymes on our 3 yo daughter, Katelyn. We saw a little improvement that I thought was due to the enzymes (we did not go GFCF, though). We kept them up for 4 months until we went on vacation and I forgot to take them along. She was off them for almost 2 weeks and we so no regression. We sumised from that that she did not have a problem that warranted using enzymes any longer. We have found something that is helping her though. It's called Super Nu Thera from Kirkman Labs. It's a mulitvitamin with a high dose of B6 and Mag. It helps with calming her tantrums and with cognitive abilities and eye contact. BTW, Katelyn is dx of PDD-NOS and high-functioning. She is already verbal so I can't say we've seen dramatic results in that area. Her main problems are social and fine motor.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2002 Report Share Posted August 17, 2002 ~~ Thanks for the laugh...it is sooooooo true. I'm a great fan of cats and have a new kitten that I got in June. She was abandoned at a local small town convenience store near my best friends house and needed a home. I took her in but she has since let me know that this is her place and I'm just allowed to live here! We figure she was about 2 months old when she was found so that makes her about 4 months old now. Murphee is a girl (as best I can tell) and an orange cat with dark orange stripes and really has brought joy in to my life. My parents have a Pikanese (sp?) and I call her my hairy sister because she's just like another family member. She goes on their trips when they travel and sits on a pillow on the console. My mother cooks her chicken every day for lunch which she grinds up in the food processor and sprinkles with cheese. I can't be sure that that is so good for her but my mother says that she won't eat anything else. I think she's one of those dogs that really has it made.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2002 Report Share Posted August 18, 2002 We don't doubt that for a minute! I'm going back out into the woods for another week. This time up to the door peninsula. Swimming and biking and hiking. It's beautiful land, lots of limestone cliffs. Peninsula Park was built during the depression, kind of to keep people busy and give 'em a paycheck. There's tons of hiking trails and a couple of real nice bike trails. We've had that west nile virus found in Illinois in animals, I haven't heard of any human casualties yet this far north. -dz- Jannewilms43@... wrote: Yes we are the hardest hit with the West Nile Virus and trust me I STAY INDOORS as much as possible..My skin is so sensitive to sprays that I even scared to use repellent so I don't go out much at dusk..As far as my daughter she wears repellent and waits for the bus..I know I sure don't need anymore illnesses any time soon..I have a return appt. with my GYN I think next week to see how it's going..Wish me luck..Hey don't wear out a hole in the back row..I'M COMING BACK!!!

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2002 Report Share Posted August 18, 2002 I cook for my Shih Tzu Chicken and rice and steamed green beans I also allow carrot and other things in the diet. YOu bet. Re: [ ] (unknown) Hi, , Ah, yes, the planet ruled by animals -- or at least my household. We got our Kitty Boy from the local humane society when he was a couple of months old. He's part Siamese and something else (calico: is that a breed?). Very affectionate for a kitty, but a scrapper with other cats (we've taken him to the vet several times for 'battle wounds.) He's smaller than most of the cats in the neighborhood. You'd think that would stop him but he's a feisty little cuss. >an orange cat with dark orange stripes and really has brought joy in to my life.< Amen to that. They certainly win a place in your heart, don't they? Neither Kitty Boy or Rooty Tooty (black lab-boxer) are enjoying the hot, muggy weather. Kitty Boy threw up this a.m. which he doesn't do often. It's either the heat or a routine hair ball. >My mother cooks her chicken every day for lunch which she grinds up in the food processor and sprinkles with cheese.< And I thought ours were spoiled rotten! That's a little over the top but, hey, she's your mom, right? Take care, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
