a/Was TD-DMPS?

Funny you should bring up carnosine as I just wrote about it on

another list. You can find some info at www.carn-aware.com.

Results are mixed. We had success with it. Here's the post I just

made to the other list:

" ...After the Chez report came out, I found the company that made

carn-

aware and wound up speaking to a person who was helpful and

knowledgeable about the Chez trial. He honestly pointed out that

some kids had no response, some had hyperactivity, and some showed

improvements. Some maintained improvements after stopping the

carnosine; some did not. We worked out a plan for my son. He is

high-functioning and was transitioning from a DOE/sped environment

to a private school with no knowledge of his history and no

accommodations. It was not going well.

Within 3 days of reaching the 800 to 1000mg level, there was a

dramatic change in my boy's ability to multitask and handle change,

resulting in a much more competant and happy child. He needed to

continue the supplementation daily because a break of over 24 hours

caused a reduction in these new skills, most obviously in the area

of coping with change. After 1 1/2 years, we tapered off and

stopped. Over the next month, his skills declined and carnosine was

resumed. Now, after 2 years of 1000 mg/day, he has again stopped

the high dosage (altho some carnosine is in his regular supplements)

and is maintaining nicely.

FWIW,
