Authia, from Ecological Formulas. It is in a tube, use 1/5 to 1/4 tsp twice

daily on soft parts of the body, and keep refrigerated after opening. It is

still made in a soy lecithin base as the compounded is, and does not smell

nearly as bad. Though most of the soy protein has been removed, a rare child

cannot handle even the memory of soy. For these children, it will still have to

be compounded by Lee Silsby's compounding pharmacy in Ohio, . Dr.

What is the best form (and from where) of TTFD? I didn't realize you can

get it w/out a prescription.

I use Klaire's Mycelized A, 5000iu per drop. Very soon, they will have it with

a tiny bit of GSE for stabilizer. There is now a toll-free number for ordering

Klaire Products for 20% discount for parents who have heard about these products

through me - .

The currently recommended dose for Methyl-B12 injections is 75mcg per Kg (2.2

lbs per Kg). Some kids do better with higher doses and more frequent dosing.

For skinny kids, even a less than one-fourth inch needle may reach muscle, so

angle it at 30 degrees to make sure it goes into the subcutaneous region for

better effect. (This is according to Dr. Jim Neubrander, the doc who has used

this the most with the most kids and the most documentation).

What used to be called EMLA and required prescription is now an over-the-counter

preparation, called ELA-something. Dr. JM

Subject: Re: Anti-virals, immunity, " quintet " , etc.

How do you separate for the recommended dosages of Vit A? The Vit A

that we have (Thorne Vit A palmitate) comes in 25000 iu plus the CLO

that is given. This goes over the 25,000 ius that's recommended but

I have no idea how to divide it up?

As far as for the B-12 injections, what's the recommended dosage of

this? I always thought that our injections weren't doing much, but I

honestly don't think they where strong/frequent enough. Also, can

you remind me of the name of the cream that will numb the injection

site?

Thanks alot for all you are doing

Could I please forward your post on authia & your Sunday morning

" ramble " (lol) to a Missouri autism support group I belong to? Several

of us are getting reading to chelate & I think the " ramble " is excellent

in terms of clarifying the why & how of biomedical in a nutshell.

Thanks,

Mathews

P.S. Our Listening therapist/OT extraordinare Diekman was at the

NO mini-DAN is going to give us the skinny this Tuesday at our local

GFCF support group. She had a great time & was impressed by all:-).

How do you seperate for the recommended dosages of Vit A? The Vit A

that we have (Thorne Vit A palmitate) comes in 25000 iu plus the CLO

that is given. This goes over the 25,000 ius that's recommended but

I have no idea how to divide it up?

as far as for the B-12 injections, what's the recommended dosage of

this? I always thought that our injections weren't doing much, but I

honestly don't think they where strong/frequent enough. Also, can

you remind me of the name of the cream that will numb the injection

site?

Thanks alot for all you are doing

ELW,

I printed this one out...It's a great summary--and going right into the new

edition!

Parents' questions on the lists incite me to early Sunday morning

rambling:

One of the most important ways to help the immune system is by healing

the gut, as 70% of the immune system resides there. As long as a child is

being given foods that irritate and enflame the gut, immunity is continually

being impaired. Studies of these kids' intestines are showing that many

more of them are enflamed than we previously thought; they have just learned

to live with the misery but keep being picky with food and showing

recalcitrant symptoms. Sometimes parents are treating viruses when they

should be getting the metal load down and adjusting the diet to allow the

gut to heal first. As long as there is a heavy metal load and an enflamed

gut (they go together), the viruses will flourish because of the

continuously compromised immune system. I may sound like a broken record,

but there is nothing a parent can do that is more advantageous to their

child than the use of restrictive diets (including avoidance of sugar),

digestive enzymes (the use of digestive enzymes alone will be one/half as

efficacious as the use of enzymes plus a restrictive diet), and probiotics

and if necessary anti-fungal agents for treatment of yeast and bacterial

overgrowth. It is necessary for some children to be placed on an even more

regimented and restricted diet than GF/CF/SF, soon becoming CnF (corn), such

as the SCDiet. I have found that unless parents are willing to do the

sensitivity testing to see what their kids can really tolerate and most

importantly are willing to cut the sugar out along with adherence to a

restrictive diet, repeated gut infections and lack of success in recovery

is the typical situation.

I have not used Gangliocyclovir; I believe it is far too toxic except

for life-threatening situations where the child can be placed in the

hospital with life-support systems readily available. I rotate Valtrex with

Famvir; some children respond to one and not the other, some to both, and

some to neither. Some kids seem to build up a resistance to a certain agent

after awhile, rotation sometimes seems to revive the earlier response. I

use Lauricidin on almost all the children I treat plus providing nutrients

shown by testing that are necessary for healing to take place. Viruses find

it hard to multiply in a healthy body with a healthy gut/immune system.

(That's of course true for all of us.)

I believe our growing knowledge about the importance of the

methylation cycle and the incredible early damage done to this major

metabolic mechanism by toxicities in vaccines and antibiotics is leading us

to advanced treatments that are helping many more children now. Every child

I treat except for a rare parent who insists on only using DMSA as outlined

in the DAN! protocol (coming up for major revision soon) is on TTFD, along

with methylcobalamin injections, folinic acid, DMG or TMG (betaine), and

transdermal glutathione (the " quintet " ). All of these can be obtained

without a doctor's prescription except for the injectable MB-12. Children

have their individual responses, such as difficulty with the glutathione,

and adjustments have to be made (often after a couple of months of M-B

injections, glutathione is tolerated), but I believe every parent should

obtain as much knowledge as possible about these treatments and institute

them in their children along with careful adherence to a diet that will

allow their child's gut to heal.

The specificity of measles susceptibility to Vitamin A and the lack of

any other agent for measles is leading many parents to use the mega-dosing

of Vitamin A, many (but not all) with great benefit. However, this is a new

treatment with a lot of unknowns, and I am recommending at this time that

the mega-dosing be done only every six months. However, the usual

recommended doses are seen by many to be very low, and most of our

children's testing reveal them to be low in Vitamin A, even with high

supplementation. For those children who had a reaction to or regressed

after the MMR and who have high rubeola titers and gut problems, I am

evolving a general suggestion for regular dosing (total amount of Vit A

including that obtained from Cod Liver Oil); 10,000iu daily for 3 yr olds,

15,000iu for 4 yr olds, 20,000iu for 5 yr olds, and 25,000iu for 6 yr olds

or older.

Sorry this turned into a lecture! (You might guess I am in the throes

of writing for the next book printing - I am allowed to change up to 10%

each time without having to call it a new edition.) Dr. JM

1) This can be shared - it will all be in the next printing of my book

plus a lot more anyway!

2) The folinic acid is an essential part of the methylation cycle and our

kids are often deficient in it. Many kids who have not been able to respond

to Folic Acid, which is synthetic, are able to respond to the folinic. This

combines with methylcobalamin and DMG or TMG to create more methionine

(good) from homocysteine (not good in build up). It has been noted many

times that the addition of DMG or TMG facilitates speech in some children.

3) Dr. Jill used Life Extension's (www.lef.org) TMG in powder form in

her research, but they also have it in caps for the kids who can swallow

capsules. We are recommending 1000mg (working up) twice daily.

p.s. for another query: I would not treat a child who did not have the MMR

who has endoscopy shown inflammation any differently except I would not give

mega-doses of A, which is specific for measles. Dr. JM
