Guest guest Posted October 26, 2000 Report Share Posted October 26, 2000 Hi All, I read this really long report yesterday and noticed some interesting things that may be useful for treating some CFS symptoms: Molybdenom supplementation raises uric acid levels (useful for me and Mike C.) Silica indicated to be useful, as is magnesium, zinc, selenium, and all the other things we already know about; I won't go into redundant treatments/products. Mannatech's Ambrotose and Phyt Aloe reportedly useful. First section states 10-20 grams/day of L-Glutamine useful and in latter section under " healing leaky gut " , 1,500 mg./day is suggested. Secretin infusion heals leaky gut, diarr, GI problems (no idea where you'd get this done?) Chewing foods slowly and thorooughly is important for digestion. Drinking glass of water 30 minutes before meals re-hydrates mucous lining of intestimes. Betaine HCL, digestive enzymes, a-ketoglutarate, and butyric acid aid digestion and absorption (nothing new here but he's really emphasizes importance of HCL even when stomach acid levels normal). Amino acid supplementation suggested, especially branched-chain aminos. Seacure, pure aminos and brewers yeast mentioned as good sources. Kirkman Lab's Colostrum Gold is mentioned (only brand that is casein-free). www.gfcfdiet.com - source for info. on leaky gut syndrome. DMG and TMG beneficial but not good if there is an autoimmunity problem. Healing Leaky Gut: 200 mg/day bromelain pancreatic enzymes (lactose, cellulose, peptidase) Probiotics 5-10K i.u's Vit. A and 500-1000 iu's Vit D (preferably cod liver oil - Norwegian is purest type). 15-30 mg. zinc Aloe (pref. Manopol or Ambrotose by Mannatech) Fiber, pref. fructoligosacharide Restore adequate sulfate to body Kirkman Lab's new acidophilus (guaranteed casein-free) Tyrosine and trypto. compete with BCAA (branched-chain's); take BCAA's 1 hour before or after meals. To kill off bad gut bacteria: urva ursi (ST use only), plant tannins, berberine, oil of oregano* (8 drops in AM/ 8 in PM); Neomycin 250 mg./ bismuth 50 mg. made by compounding pharmacy can kill of Klebsilliea Pnemonaie (apparently vy. difficult to kill off). Rotate all GI therapies; Kirman's Colostrum Gold and whey-proteins good. www.liverdoctor.com " Yeast Avenger " www.cfsn.com Drink 1/2 of juice of lemon or apple cider vinegar 1/2 hr. before meals; don't dring anything else during and up to 2 hrs. after meal - interferes with HCL. L-Carnitine 500 mg. 2x/day on empty stomach Take Eve. Prim. Oil w/cod liver oil. NAC - more than 500 mg/day increases risk of cysteine toxicity. managanese - natural chelating agent. methionine (an amino) detoxifies histamine and some heavy metals. Goat yogurt good for gut. taurine 100 mg/day - take w/cod liver oil. Vit. A and zinc deficiency causes diarrhea - take probiotics, dig. enz., HCL, eve. prim., cod liver oil (only natural source of A & D & Omega 3). Increasing protein, water intake and reducing parasite infect. reduces constip. Bethanecol 10 mg/day - increases antimicrobial peptides in small intestine, may repair damage to intestines caused by EB virus, need to take cod-liver oil 2 months before beginning. Most people ingest far too much Omega 6 and not enough Omega 3. Avoid canola oil, safflower, cottonseed, peanut, mustard; coconut and olive oil are better. Eat fatty fish (salmon, mackrel, sardines) 3x/wk or use cod liver oil. Drink 1/2 body weight (pounds) in water (ounces) - in addition to all other liquids (seems awful high). Supplementing w/calcium, B6, manganese, and magnesium controls levels of calcium going into cells. No more than 1 mg. A-lipoic per pound body weight (1/2 mg better) at each dosing; multiple doses per day is best. Cilantro improves affects of antivirals, elim. heavy metals. Kyolic - aged garlic 800-421-2998 is powerful chelator. Avoid grape fruit seed extract, grape seed extract, kava, kava, quercitin, vinpocetine, rosemary, shitake, cat's claw, valerian if Phase 1 enzymes are a problem (?) Essaic tea helpful in healing GI tract but only use occassionaly because burdock root toxic. You can have glutathione excess caused by whey protein products which causes excess cysteine (cause diarrhea, anxiety, nausea, cramps). Coleus Forskolin (poor man's secretin) - improves thyroid function, digestive disorders, immune enhancer. Lecithin - antioxidant, prevents cholestrol from coagulating, detoxifies lad and mercury. Lot more in text but I think I hit majority of useful supplements and treatments. Steve B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2000 Report Share Posted October 26, 2000 Steve, Thanks for posting your summary, it will take me a while to read through the full document so it was kind of you to post on the key points. > I read this really long report yesterday and noticed some interesting things that may be useful for treating some CFS symptoms: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
