Re: Question re sleeping problems

[Guest guest]

Thanks Dr McCandless.

Re tryptophan I know we can't get it here in the UK as it is deemed dangerous to

use. We have tried 5 HTP with no success - up to 100mg and I'm sure Jack has a

problem with the conversion of tryptophan to serotonin whereby it diverts to

another compound 5HIAA ( 5 hydroxy indloe acetic acid) - J always has high

levels of this in his OAT results.

We have tried GABA in the past as well as taurine but maybe not in combination.

What type of taurine do you recommend and when should it be taken?

We are really struggling with his sleep problems so we may need to consider the

prescription options. Do these have any long term side effects or depedency

problems?

We are really concerned that despite trying many different treatment regimes

with Jack we are still seeing no progress and his stimming problems and

therefore inability to focus/communicate seem to be no better, if not worse. We

are currently chelating and have just completed round 8 and will do the urine

toxic metals test next round. Unfortunately we have yet to see anything from

this treatment either. We feel we have tried most of the suggested combinations

of supplements and are wondering whether an MRI scan would give us any insight

into his problems. Having carried out extensive testing with you, do you feel

from his results and our feedback that this would be a worthwhile option - we're

really not sure which way to go at the moment!!!

Your thoughts as always are greatly appreciated.

With best wishes
