Guest guest Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Trish, Carnosine is an amino acid. It is used as a supplement for its antioxidant properties. There was a study not long ago with l-carnosine that showed some promise for some children with autism in the areas of language and social interaction. See link here: http://autismcoach.com/Carnosine%20Study.htm Coromega, Efalex and ProEFA are all brand names for various blends of Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs). EFAs are often used as supplements for people with conditions such as ADHD, learning disabilities, autism, etc. as well as to lower cholesterol and improve cardiovascular health. There are very few people who would not benefit from more EFAs in their diet because we generally don't eat enough fish and eat things cooked in 'bad' oils. I personally take Coromega to help with my cholesterol - it is flavored with orange and tastes like an orange creamsicle. However it has egg in it so kids with food allergies should avoid it. I give my son ProEFA blend. Here is a link that has articles discussing EFAs. http://www.apraxia-kids.org/links/linksefas.html Hope this is helpful - Vicki _____ From: trishj_72 [mailto:trishj_72@...] Sent: Tuesday, August 24, 2004 6:26 AM Subject: [ ] Confused? What is the difference between carnosine, coromega, efalex and pro efa? Are the all used for only apraxic kids? Which is best for kids with apraxia?

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 To all, I'm absolutely flabbergasted by all the supposed wonder treatments. We are suffering glutathione toxicity(i think I got it right)?When you fix this and address your B's your streptococci that are doing a number on your shoulder's and the pseudonomads dancing with your brain cells are going to go away?This may surprise many but when your immune system doesn't recognise bugs THEY VACCINATE, or you take antimicrobials.There's many bacteria that get in and the immune system doesn't say boo, if you did the studies you'd find oral streptococci are the most responsable bacteria for needing heart valve replacement. Am I missing something or are we going to fix the ill with very vague additions to our nutritional, mineral, etc. requirements? I can't seem to follow the group (and rich the glutothione man) very well when we haven't addressed the biggest infection anyone is capable of receiving, this makes tuberculosis a walk in the park and if you meet a tuberculosis sufferer- often they're doing much better than us. Also your bloods tumbling not flowing thru your veins. What fixes that? I believe in doing therapies, but missing the forrest for the tree's is a little disturbing. So to sum up, there's no way in the western world how your going to beat an infection of the calibre of occupying every cell in your body, by adding band aid measures.Our immune system doesn't fix these organism's. In italian- si parlo non fixer up the immuno sytemo infectione ta biga like a dis one. Just my two cents worth. tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Ha, Ha, Ha,...Tony...but even YOU believe that relieving the toxins and inflammation in the body's a good thing. That's what a lot of these treatments are doing, relieving some of the symptoms which sometimes create more symptoms. Like inflammation. But yeah, the big problem which needs the big focus is figuring out how to get rid of the huge infection. Unless you don't believe that's the cause of our illness, and some don't. OR they believe we have the infection because of some defeciency, and that by remedying that defeciency, it will result in a more complete cure where we can fight the infection off on our own. Personally, I don't know for sure why I can't beat these infections, but at this point, the only way I feel better is to knock them down with abx, etc. BUT...b vitamins saved me from some really nasty symptoms, so not to share information like that, IS silly, in my view. Same with things like protandim, or the goji berry, that may reduce oxidative stress, which might help us. But there are a lot of risk factors invovled. We don't always know if we're helping ourselves or the bacteria with supplementation, so unless I feel better on something, I won't keep using it. And that includes avoiding the famous " herx " . Unless I'm certain, from past experience that I'm experiencing die-off, and then feel better, I won't tolerate any kind of long term " herxing " and see that as a good thing. penny p.s. Turns out I've got to have surgery on both shoulders. One is frozen. Both are painful. I had two steroid shots yesterday, and will start PT and then have surgery (unless I can find a viable plan . This isn't going to do anything for my infection, but it's going to help me feel and sleep a lot better. So Tony, sometimes you got to put out the little fires, to keep the big one from getting worse. > To all, > I'm absolutely flabbergasted by all the supposed wonder treatments.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 > We will be going to the northern part of India where it will be > extremely cold in december and during that time flu is very common . > Should I go ahead and get the shot? > Manju Hi Manju, My guess is that most here will say no, but I have to say get it. We lived in Southern India and we lucky healthwise but my kids were raised there. Your daughter will be exposed to many new things if this is her first trip to India. My friend in China lost her daughter last October to flu, and she was a healthy little three year old. Build up your daughters defenses up with good food, fluids, vitamins, plenty of sleep and keep washing her little hands. Esp. on the airplane! Is your doctor recommending other vaccinations as well? I would be surprised he if is only recommending the flu shot. Good luck and enjoy your visit, Robyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
