Guest guest Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 Thank your for the reply. I tried Immunocal in the distant past, nothing. More recently I tried Metagenics whey, and Renewpro, which are " non-denatured " whey, and saw no benefit. Maybe they were doing something, but I didn't see it. My understanding is these are the high-quality whey products you describe, and the price tag leads one to believe that they might not be inferior. If they don't do anything, why? Maybe blocks in the methylation cycle. I have the Autism book and can't figure out the methylation cycle, which I guess indicates cognitive impairments greater than I care to admit. The best I can do is try this, try that. Next is B6 and magnesium, taurine, TMG...The order of trials is probably important, but beyond me. I got the impression from the talk about glutathione and whey on this list that if you take whey (like Renewpro), you increase glutathione, and you're on the road to recovery. However, it's not that simple: the whey powders apparently don't work for me, so I'm trying the liposomal. This SCD diet advocates cutting out all carbs except monosaccharides. Seems crazy, but actually makes sense. The whey powders, whole grains, supplements, etc., don't do anything because they just muck up the microvilli and their enzymes in the small intestine. Since I have already tried many diet changes and have been avoiding gluten for some time, the SCD will not actually be that difficult, and as I said, may hold some promise. It's not what you eat, but what you assimilate. And what you don't assimilate, burdens the system and does harm. > > > > After trying Whey protein for some time, and feeling no improvement, > > I have come to think maybe this is not going to increase glutathione > > levels for me, and maybe others. > > > > ***Which type whey did you use?

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 I am going on the SCD later this month, am slowly decreasing my intake of certain foods prior to doing it. Read about it in the Pangborn Baker book. Sounds worth a try. Cheney has patients on Immune Pro and liposomal glutathione. Immune Pro has a small amount of lactose in it, which is forbidden on the SCD, but I'm going to keep taking it anyway. Cheney in his video talks about xenobiotic toxins from the guts causing problems and that is exactly what the SCD addresses, by starving the bad bacteria. The problem is the die off release of toxins from the bad bacteria which I am trying to lessen by ramping down my complex carb intake prior to going on the SCD. The people at pecanbread recommend Epsom Salt baths and taking activated charcoal caps to reduce die off. I asked about doing enemas as an adjunct but nobody answered me. Since they are mostly parents of autistic kids, that would be a problem to do and probably hasn't been looked into much. One of my friends said trying to avoid die off was like trying to avoid gravity but I'm still trying to find a way to do it.

Try to base conclusions on treatment effectiveness by integrating both ojective as well personal feel for what's actually being accomplished. Thats great about the liposomal glutathione!

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Hi, Janet. By now you may have already decided what you're going to do about the SNP test. Sorry to be so slow in commenting. It's true that I try to interpret test results when people ask me to, and I enjoy doing it. However, sometimes I'm pretty slow at getting back to people when the email traffic, on and off the list, gets overwhelming, or when family and household matters require my attention. With regard to the genetic testing, I am still getting up to speed on understanding the meaning of all of it. I have a pile of Amy Yasko's new DVDs that I haven't had time to watch yet, but hope to soon. I don't know how long you would have to wait for a GAR report from Amy, but I'm sure you would learn a lot more from her than you would from me, not only because she is very sharp, but also given all of her experience. So if you can find it in your budget to order a GAR, I would encourage you to do that. If not, I would try to interpret your results to the degree I understood what they meant, when I was able to get to it. Rich > > > > Hi Sue, > > > > Thank you for your help.
