Enzymes - charcoal

[Guest guest]

Hi,

We started enzymes about 10 days ago. We started with Zyme Prime (a

dusting) and I build it up to 1/3 or 1/2 cap a meal (3x a day) - on

this only, my son was doing a lot of noise (verbal stim) and we saw a

little bit of aggression. About 4 days after we started GABA

(morning) and Cod Liver Oil (mid afternoon) - He was doing SOOOO

WELLL, with behavior. About 3 days ago we started Peptizyde for

lunch and dinner, first a dusting, today we went up to 1/3 cap.

All together, this are the supplements he is taking a day:

1 cap. GABA

1 cap. Zyme Prime

1/2 cap. Peptyzide

2 caps Kirkman's CLO (about 2500 units Vit. A)

He gets really silly, impulsive and aggressive about 1 hour after

taking Peptyzide. Yesterday he stole a piece of chewing gum.

Everything that I ask him to do, he answers NO!!! Even keeping his

seatbelt fastened is a challenge now (this kid used to insist on

everyone using a seatbelt!!!) I know this may all expected, but could

it be that we are moving too fast with the enzymes and supplements?

Other than behavior, his stool seems so much better now

(less " flat " ). Today he didn't have a BM yet (we upped Peptizyde

yesterday) which is also " normal " . I am thinking that I should give

him activated charcoal, but don't know HOW MUCH??? Would it be a

pill after each meal, or before each meal??? Or should I give him

more GABA (supposed to help with the impulsivity!)

Thanks for your help

Coral,

The information that I have read about activated charcoal said to

take it 2 hours before or after a meal.

If you take it before the meal won't it pull out the supplements

you're giving at the meal? Our dr. said at bedtime and most meds

should be given by dinner at the latest.

Maybe others have more info?

Activated charcoal will absorb just about anything organic (and some

non-organic compounds too). It is given to absorb toxins - like a

sponge. So take it at least an hour after anything you want the body

to absorb or it will absorb you supplements and foods. Here is more

on activated charcoal with specifics:

On the behavior...actually, it sounds like you are moving pretty fast

with all the supplements. 10 days isn't that long to adjust to all

that is being put in the body. So I would suggest reducing the

Peptizyde or CLO or GABA a bit, or at least holding at the current

level until he adjusts. It can take 10 days to 3-4 weeks to really

adjust to any one of those.

Enzymes will also make the other supplements more available to the

body. Building up slowly was great!

But seeing positives along with any negatives is good overall.

Indicates adjustment instead of intolerance with enzymes.

Peptizyde in particular can have a big impact on die-off of pathogens

as well as cleaning gunk out. This can contribute to the silliness

and other things. It isn't surprising you saw that change with

Peptizyde but not the other enzymes.

The GABA would be one influencing 'attitude' if I had to choose one.

It directly acts on the mood neurotransmitters. So if things don't

improve soon, try reducing or stopping that one.
