I've been through his protocol of supplements also, but unfortunately I had severe reactions to all of them and wasn't able to tolerate any, even in tiny amounts. The only exception was Seriphos, which eventually I could tolerate and still take. My understanding is that my adrenals are so severely fatigued that my body is hypersensitive and overreacts to everything, including other supplements, treatments, etc. This leaves me unable to try most of the treatments discussed on this forum. Is anyone else out there like this? Have you found anything to help? >> - I've been talking to someone on the CFIDS list on about.com who is also hypersevsitive. She is seeing and being helped by an EI doc in Colorado who uses a lot of homeopathic remedies because of the hypersensitivities issue. Good luck to you.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2003 Report Share Posted April 7, 2003 My son is 4.5, dx SID. He was having serious mood/behavior problems, mostly at home -- at school he is very controlled and fairly withdrawn, not making friends or joining into things. His diet restrictions are no chocolate or any artificials (Feingold diet) and he reacts very badly to corn syrup. My questions (finally!) : 1. Will enzymes eventually help with something like corn syrup or artificial colors because they will help heal his gut? 2. If I mix his enzymes with juice and send him off for preschool, will the drink be OK for 3 hours? I've only been giving the enzymes for a week. For the first 4 days (half cap No-Fenol) he was horrible. Now after 3 days of half cap each of N-F, Pep, and Z-P....omg! He is cheerful, cooperative, adaptable, HAPPY. I'm actually looking forward to tomorrow to see what will happen next! Nell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzymes do not help my son with those items, but others here report that enzymes do help their children with these items. 2.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 I have been so incredibly busy lately. But I just wanted to pop in here to tell everyone that Jordan's little sister is now 9 months old and has started walking. Jordan's last week of camp is upon me and I find saddened because she really enjoyed it. It's only for 6 weeks, but it's an absolutely wonderful experience. It's a special needs camp and the staff and volunteers there just absolutely love what they are doing for our kids. I'll get in touch when I can and after things calm down here a bit.

The three health food stores in our small nearby town (pop 100,000) all have herbal extracts and tinctures..... including Lobelia inflata. These are concentrated herbs and come in one or two ounce bottles. The brand name of the one I've carried in my purse for some years is Nature's Herbs. Another is HerbPharm. Gaia Herbs and Teeter Creek are other reliable brands. Here's a google link to online sources.

So, ok, use the ground flaxseed and fishoil. Do you grind your own flaxseed? I pay about $1.25 a pound for whole flaxseed and grind them in a coffee grinder as we need them. Very inexpensive that way. I am curious..... does like ice cream? That's another dairy product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saliva also contains enzymes, which is why chewing a long time is so successful a method of maximinizing nutrient content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 Marilyn, Thank you Marilyn! Yes sometimes, but not as much as she likes chocolate pudding. I think it's because she doesn't really like very cold stuff and Ice cream is pretty cold. I don't grind my own flaxseed, I buy already ground, it is more expensive and I buy it at Vitamin World or Walmart or the Healthfood store. Where do you get your seeds from? I'd be willing to buy a coffee grinder to grind my own, but I need to know of a good place to buy the seeds from. Thanks again Marilyn.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 Marilyn, I just found this health food store just yesterday and I went there and forgot about asking about the lovelia inflata, but I will call them Monday and ask if they have it there. I will also check out those websites you gave me. Thanks!
