please help... worry about ION result

[Guest guest]

Lily's blood orotate level was high, and there was a warning on the

ION report about supplementing aminos with such a high orotate

reading. What does this mean?? Lily has been taking 5HTP, and her 5HIA

reading was sky high - I will stop the 5HTP. Does this mean she cannot

handle aminos at all? We want to give her carnitor, but is it safe?

What can be done to correct this?

Thanks

High orotate indicates a need for more magnesium and arginine - both are

essential to clear ammonia. High ammonia could indicate an excessive

dietary protein intake with not enough starches. I would supplement both

arginine and magnesium first of all, and then add carnitine or other aminos.

All,

I understand that high orotate levels need magnesium and arginine to get the

ammonia levels down; however, I have read that arginine can aggravate viral

loads (I read it in reference to herpes virus'). Should a child with a high IgG

Rubeola AB antibodies take arginine if his orotate levels are high? If not, is

there another way to reduce the ammonia/orotate levels?

Thanks in advance for the help!
