New member and a few questions

Posted April 24, 2002 · April 24, 2002

Hi! I just heard about the enzymes a few weeks ago, and ordered them

right away.

I have 5 children: #1 NT, #2 age13- some autistic traits, #3 age10

Asperger's syndrome, #4 age7 ADHD, and #5 age2.5 no diagnosis yet,

but language delay, and some autistic behaviour.

Yes, you can believe we live in a madhouse some days!

Today was our third day on enzymes, and I really can see a difference

already! My children have been peaceful and quiet, usually they

scream and fight. My Aspie son seems so much more lucid, and even

when he has gotten upset, he has not had a meltdown, but has

recovered very quickly. His voice is a little less high-pitched, and

he actually smiled at me when I just randomly caught his eye (very

unusual for him). My ADHD daughter is actually sitting still without

wiggling all over the place. This is miraculous!

I am giving #2 & 3 1 zyme with each meal, and I am giving #4 a no-

fenol with each meal. I plan to start the pep in a few days. We are

not on any special diet, although we do not eat a lot of gluten,

because my husband has celiacs.

I have a lot of questions, but I'll just start with a few:

1. Can it be possible that the enzymes are really causing such good

results already, even though we have not started the pep yet?

2. My children are complaining that their eyes sting. Could this be a

possible side effect?

3. Child #3 has a bad reaction to raw pineapple and kiwi, in that

they irritate his lips, and make the area around his mouth red and

bleed. Should this be any cause for concern with giving him the

Peptizyde?

4. Child #2 is very sensitive to sugar. When she was little, if she

had any sugar at all, it would cause her to wet the bed, and the

urine would have a very strong, unpleasant odor. She can now eat

sugar without wetting the bed, but it makes her extremely grouchy and

aggressive. Which enzyme might help with this problem?

HI and welcome!

5 kids with a variety of " symptoms " ! You are in the right place.

Another mom here has 4. I feel so lazy now with just 2 plus myself.

>>> 1. Can it be possible that the enzymes are really causing such

good results already, even though we have not started the pep yet?

Yes. This is the really exciting part. People think we are making

this up until it happens in their own house!

>>> 2. My children are complaining that their eyes sting. Could this

be a possible side effect?

I will send you the file on possible side effects. This may be to

the No-Fenol. You may want to reduce the dose on that a little while

they adjust...and give more liquids to drink.

>>> 3. Child #3 has a bad reaction to raw pineapple and kiwi, in

that they irritate his lips, and make the area around his mouth red

and bleed. Should this be any cause for concern with giving him the

> Peptizyde?

WOW. Based on other results, this is a toss a coin question. Some do

and some don't. The " safest " thing would be to use the AFP Peptizyde

which was developed for this reason and contains no fruit-derived

enzymes at all. However, it could also be the the protease enzymes

in raw pineapple and kiwi are irritating his lips and mouth because

they settle on the skin, and because he is very sensitive. If this

is the case, swallowing the enzymes so they do not settle on the

skin will likely be okay. Does this child swallow capsules, or would

he take them opened in food or drink?

>>> 4. Child #2 is very sensitive to sugar. When she was little, if

she had any sugar at all, it would cause her to wet the bed, and the

> urine would have a very strong, unpleasant odor. She can now eat

Do you think she has a yeast problem? How is she reacting to the No-

Fenol? If she has " autistic traits, " a yeast problem can cause that.

The Zyme Prime does not seem to impact a yeast condition much, but

the Peptizyde (protease) and No-Fenol (cellulase) do.

Glad you are seeing some good stuff right off!

.

So glad you are

I have four children and I use numbers when referring to them also

LOLOLOLOL

All of my children are metal toxic from vaccinations. You can read

their story here, if you are interested

> because my husband has celiacs.

My kids appear to be metal-induced celiac, because the enzymes do not

help them eat gluten, altho this is improving with chelation.

Yes absolutely.

Yes, this is interesting, I have an unformed thought on this and if it

ever solidifies for me, I will post it for you.

I would try the AFP Peptizyde instead of regular.

This sounds like a yeast issue, consider using the No-Fenol

Tina,

Welcome to the group. My name is Lamar. I suffered with gran mals for

34 years before I finally got the help I really needed.

Today, I am drug-free and nearly seizure-free. One of the things I

found in my long journey toward victory over my epileptic disorder is

that it is easy to be misdiagnosed. For most of my life I did not know

why I was epileptic. I did not know what it was that triggered my

seizures. If your husband does not know why he is epileptic and what it

is that triggers his seizures, you need to take steps to find out. We

have a lot of resources here in our Bookmarks section which may prove

helpful.

If you go to the Bookmarks section you will find a wide range of website

links - including neurologist offices, epilepsy clinics and hospitals.

My personal favorite is s-Rieter . You can go to this website

and leave e-mail questions about your husband's condition and the head

of the clinic's therapy research department will give you a personal

response. But, that is not all. If you send a copy of your husband's

medical record, the clinic will evaluate it for you for FREE. Why would

a clinic bother to do that? Because they only treat people whose

epileptic condition falls within their treatment parameters.

s-Reiter specializes in treating only epilepsy - but within

certain limitations. For example, the clinic rarely treats children

under 8 years of age or people who have had brain surgery.

Not all links in the Bookmarks section are epilepsy-specific. Consider

the website called The Mind Spa . They do neurophyisical assessments.

This is a precursor to EEG Biofeedback. If you ever wondered how well

your brain functions, this examination can reveal a great deal. I speak

from experience because I had this test done. Not only did I witness my

brainwave patterns in real time on a computer screen, but I saw light

patterns and sound rhythms change them for the better as well. You need

not be epileptic to benefit from this examination. Athletes use it to

enhance their athletic performance. College students use it to improve

their academic performance - including boosting their IQ 3-4%. Business

people use it to reduce stress.

If your husband is serious about getting his seizure disorder under

control, I believe we have resources - through our members and our

Bookmark section - which can give provide him with the guidance and

direction he needs. It simply takes a little time and effort to get

acquainted.

Good luck.

Lamar

thanks haven't heard of this i will tell my hubby and try to get this scheduled.

What exactly is this test and how is it done. tina

Re: [ ] new member and a few questions

Tina -

My daughter's MRI was normal. We had a test called MRS. It showed damage to

the corpus closum, this didn't show up on the MRI. Hope this helps,

Dear Lamar,

God bless you, seizure free, my husband would love to be drug and seizure free.

He feels so dependant on everyone but knows the consequences if he doesn't take

his meds. When i found out he had been having small seizures and not telling me

i was so furious. Concerned mad and just plain ole mad. And the only reason he

could give me that he didn't tell me was he didn't want to worry me. But after

calming down i told him that i loved him and wanted to spend the rest my life

with him and not a memory. And to think if he had a seizure while driving and

had the children with him what could have happened. I believe made the

difference. I am going to check out those bookmarks tomorrow. It is late now

and i have to go to bed. thanks for this info. tina
