Guest guest Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Hi Charlotte, There is alot of info out there about the zeno estrogens in the water and everywhere else that is effecting alot of our health. It is like the whole population being on birth control!The effects are more obvious in men because of the sterility problem. The product I use for myself and family is called Plus. It has really helped us, in conjunction with other supplements we take. It is made from Wild Yam Root, l-Glutamic Acid, Glycine,L-lysine,L-Arginine,Beta Sitosterol, and has some plant sugars 2.5 mg. It feeds the whole endocrine system and the hormones become balanced naturally. My husband prostrate problems went away, my hot flashes and major peri-menopause symptoms are gone, daughters period are regular and no more cramps, and sons mood improved greatly. All of us that needed to loose belly fat, did, without any diet changes. It cannot hurt him and may help him.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Dana, he gets 250mg a day, do you think that's too low? What dose would you recommend at 120lbs? I will check out your link, thanks! -Charlotte [ ] Re: weight question > Good question. Every time he is in the bathroom it is at LEAST a half hour production and always has been, leading me to believe that he has " issues " when he is in there. In my family, this would mean constipation. You can consider increasing his magnesium, this works for us.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 , would he have to take it 3 times a day? and can it be dumped into other food? He can't and won't swallow a pill, -Charlotte Re: [ ] weight question > > > > > > > > > Hi Charlotte, > > > > > > > > > Even though your son may not eat junk food, there are many food > > that can > > > cause weight gain.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Hi Charlotte, I take mine just morning and nite, so for you child 2 in am and 1 in p.m. is fine. ALso they can be crushed and put into food or liquid, they crush very easily since they are not encased in anything syntehtic. I will send the complete products description to your private email for you to view. designs wrote: > , would he have to take it 3 times a day? and can it be dumped into > other food?

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 -Charolotte Have you considered " Leaky Gut Syndrome " ? It can mess up alot of things as can yeast, bad bacteria and parasites. Haven't heard back from Andy about son's hair analysis yet, but am wondering also. My son is also overweight,(especially the overhanging gut), hypo thyroid-according to labs and his temperature and elevated liver enzymes. Just got the ones back from Drs data and only one is up now. He'd been on enzymes for 2 weeks taking them much more regularly. (Enzyme_Autism ) You may want to take his temp to see if it's low consistently, others may have a link to do it properly (my stuff is such a mess- can't find things well).I've read that normal TSH doesn't really mean that much, need further testing. He also stopped taking Concerta in Dec and weaned off the Prozac by Feb. Another thing I'm just barely reading about is the mitochondria of the cells and antioxidants and the immune system. Don't know if this would help- am wondering the same things. Rose -- In , " designs " <scottdesigns@a...> wrote: > No. He has been med free for a year.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 I think my brain is going to explode! lol. I can not believe the amount of info I have taken in over the past 2 years, and I don't even feel like I scratched the surface. The amount of faith I use to have in doctors absolutely frightens me know as does the fact that I seem to know MORE than some of them at this point. If I call the pediatrician to ask about a particular supplement or treatment before beginning it, he actually responds now by saying " I trust your research " GREAT! I wish we could afford a DAN! doctor but between the thousand plus a month in health insurance, therapies, mortgage etc.....I just don't know how people are doing it all. I will look deeper into everything you mentioned Rose, thanks, as usual, you've helped " across the boards " lol, literally -Charlotte Re: [ ] weight question > > > > I was wondering if heavy metal build up can cause unexplained weight gain? > He has always had some gastrointestinal > issues and the weight is primarlily in his belly.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Charlotte My daughter just the other day said- now mom you're finally thinking outside the box. Yes, and it's very scary, because we don't have a dr that trusts my research or anything alternative and some days I'm not all that sure either- am too impatient I guess. and yes my brain feels like this also much of the time (explode), I've been reading since Nov 04-starting with learning disabilities, leading to physical, nutrition and now supplements and heavy metals- blows my mind major time..-Take care and please update, that's how I learn anyway..Rose -- In , " designs " <scottdesigns@a...> wrote: > I think my brain is going to explode! lol.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Heavy metal toxicity often causes weight gain, there are many mechanisms. All heavy metal toxicities are mitochondrial disorders, and the current faddish craze to pretend that there is some sort of " mitochondrial disorder " on its own leads to a lot of harmful and inappropriate treatment (like alpha lipoic acid on an improper schedule) that makes the kids much harder to help later, as well as to a lot of looting. The stimulant medications always result in weight loss - and stunt growth too. Many were in fact approved as anorexiants - diet pills - though that use is now not lawful. Despite changes in the law leading to the political incorrectness of discussing the schedule 2 stimulant medications as weight loss aids, they still are all anorexiants, all suppress appetite, and all lead to weight loss.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 > Dana, he gets 250mg a day, do you think that's too low? What dose would you recommend at 120lbs? If he weighs 120 pounds, he is an older child. His calcium should be in the 800-1000mg per day range, and magnesium about half that, or 400-500mg just for the proper absorption of the calcium. Then you would add extra magnesium on top of that. Does he drink milk? If so, that by itself might be the cause of the constipation. But it also might affect his cal/mag ratio. Are you giving any cal/mag supplements? For myself, depending on which supplements I use [certain supplements cause constipation and require an increase of magnesium], I use 400mg extra magnesium. I require as much as 1000mg extra magnesium with certain supplements. This is actually a good thing for most of these supplements, as excessive pulling of magnesium can mean the body was deficient in that supplement and is pulling magnesium for proper absorption. Anyway, 250mg is probably too low. Try doubling it, see if that helps. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Yes, Dana he is 11. He is not on a calcium supplement because I have yet to find one that is small enough to crush into juice with everything else and the kid friendly chewable ones seem to have allot of crap in them. If you can suggest a brand that would be great! As for milk, suspecting that it may be part of the problem, it was removed almost 3 months ago. He won't touch milk anymore. He seems to be doing a little better without it. Right now he's getting a double dose of Nordic's Ultimate Omega liquid (1tsp day) and 500mg taurine, 250 magnesium, 25 zinc and 100mg of B-6. All crushed into a violently shaken small cup of OJ No other way to get a pill of any kind into him! I will double the mag, thanks!

He is not on a calcium supplement because I have yet to find one that is small enough to crush into juice with everything else and the kid friendly chewable ones seem to have allot of crap in them. If you can suggest a brand that would be great! Calcium supplements generally are not small. However, calcium is a mineral, so you can bake it into things. Do you make pancakes, cookies, bread, etc? Just make a batch and include calcium. I use Cal-Snack from my local health food store. It is wafers, round, chewable, and does not contain nasty fillers. > As for milk, suspecting that it may be part of the problem, it was removed almost 3 months ago. He won't touch milk anymore. He seems to be doing a little better without it. Good > Right now he's getting a double dose of Nordic's Ultimate Omega liquid (1tsp day) EFAs, especially evening primrose oil, caused MAJOR constipation here, apparently because of serious deficiency. I started by adding 600mg extra magnesium per day, to handle the constipation caused by just 4 drops [!] of EPO. As the deficiency was addressed, the extra magnesium requirement was reduced. Now I give 150mg extra for the EPO [still only 4 drops]. >>100mg of B-6. High B6 also has a magnesium requirement, altho 100mg B6 is the " low end of high " .
