Guest guest Posted May 6, 2001 Report Share Posted May 6, 2001 Phosphatidylserine is contained in sardines. I feed them to Lacey and they are not, by the way, those salty fish in tiny tins sold in American supermarkets. They are real fish the size of a trout. They can be purchased at an Army base or an Oriental food market. When fish comes from Japan, it is relatively safe as the Japanese government became very much aware of mercury poisoning when a multitude of cats in a tiny village got together one day and willingly committed suicide by jumping off a pier. They warned the villagers the fish was poisonous and as a result, the government sent in researchers, who discovered ingestion of methyl mercury during particular embryonic brain formational periods is one cause of cerebral palsy. If the sardines come from another country, I would not trust them. Why buy supplements when the real thing is available and fish is well known to be " brain food " ?

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2001 Report Share Posted May 26, 2001 Further to my previous post on Phosphatidylserine, we had bad experience with it. We used 1 capsule / day for the first 17 days of May, but discontinued it, due to perceived difficulties with eye contact. In fact, it seemed that she was going back to the way she used to be, that is either obstinately refusing to look me in the eyes, or as I believe averting contact due to a " painful " overload of some sort. I should point out that her eye contact has been improving but has never been great. I am happy to report that now a little over a week after stopping the use of this substance, her eye contact has improved again! Does anyone have any ideas or experience in this regard? Pretty much everything else was constant during and after this period. We did ALA and DMSA chelation on the weekends every 3 and 4 hours on the weekends (50 mg of each per dose) before, during and after this period, and used the same supplements during and between rounds of chelation. (We had increased the dose of ALA and DMSA to 100 in April for a few rounds, but brought it back down, because we thought we were being overzealous, and thought that there was some increased stimmy behaviors, so we decided to go easier and it seems to have helped in that regard). This product is commonly thought to improve brain function, and had been recommended for trial by one of our doctors who has an alternative bent. As I look over our notes from this past month, the " regression " was specifically with eye contact. Other than this she continued to improve slowly.

Well, when I gave it to my son he got angry and aggressive, but that's how he reacted to most things he didn't tolerate. I suspected it was the soy.

Not often, but I know some people cannot tolerate it. I don't know why this happens. I think phosphatidylserine interferes with cortisol production. Maybe your son has adrenal problems? Just an idea... I don't really know. Valentina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Dr. L said that Phosphatidylserine converts into Serine . . . which is over produced in DS. So, it wouldn't be good for DS. Let me get some more info on that . . . .

I was looking into it for my oldest who has ADHD. It says it helps with memory functions too and I was wondering if it did work, would it help someone with DS? http://www.phosphatidylserine.net/ Thanks, Cheryl ..
