Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Marie, My son is the same way. Yasko has some very interesting info out there for our kids. I believe she thinks it's a CBS mutation. So far, she's been on the money for our son. We took GRaham off of the B-12, TMG, folinic and have him on a low protein diet. His progress has been pretty good since doing this.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Are there indicators that a low protein diet is better than high or did you both just figure this out by trial and error? I have been going more the other way because that is what is recommended for ADHD and it makes me feel better but I sometimes wonder if that is what he needs. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 , I should have been more specific - my daughter has autism and a fatty oxidation disorder and only partial use of certain enzymes. She can't metabolize large amounts of proteins and fats. When she gets too much - the part that isn't metabolized turns rotten (oxidizes). We use Houston AFP peptizyde with each meal and continue with small portions. I agree with you that protein helps with ADHA. Shari Re: low homocysteine > > > Marie, > My son is the same way.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Thanks Shari. I probably should have been more specific, also. I was really wondering if this would show up on any tests. We will be doing an OAT soon and I know it gives alot of info and just wondered if it might indicate a need for a lower level of protein. I guess you have done lots of testing with your daughter.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Thanks for sharing that. Does she think these changes will raise homocysteine? If your testing comes back for that mutation would you email me? We have tested other SNPs but not that one. I haven't read up on Yasko but would be interested if you are finding changes based on that mutation are helpful. Our son was initially a good responder to the MB12, folinic, TMG, although he can't have too much TMG.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 A urine AA test that reveals elevated taurine and/or ammonia are indicators for a low protein trial per Dr Yasko. a > > > Our daughter also does well with a low protein diet. > > Shari > > Re: low homocysteine > > > > > > Marie, > > My son is the same way.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Marie, I don't know if the homocystein ever really increases. I haven't heard her talk about that. We should be getting out test in the next 6 weeks. I'll let you know. FWIW, she says that you have to fix the CBS issue before adding in methylation support. I was leary of " going backwards " by removing the m-b12, TMG, and folinic but he actually got better. a > > > > > > > > I apologize if this is a duplicate question but I can't seem > to > > find > > > > any info. regarding low levels of homocysteine.
