Guest guest Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 Hi, I am really new to this myself, but we started Zyme Prime a few weeks ago. We started at only 1/4 capsule for breakfast, waited three days, then 1/2 a capsule at breakfast, then (after three days) 1/2 capsule at breakfast and lunch. We had hyperactivity for the first week or more, as I gradually upped the dosage. A few times I deliberately missed a meal or backed off if his system seemed too stressed. I also backed off because I mistakenly thought he could handle more phenols, and he was reacting (I didn't know to papain, bromelain or phenols). It was the phenols. I lowered the daily dose of phenols, and all hyperactivity (which had dimished by day 10) and dark circles under eyes disappeared. We are now (finally), up to 1 cap per meal with positive results. Hope this helps, as I almost posted the same question a few days ago. Judy > My son has been on ZP since Thursday. We started half a cap with each > meal/snack. He has an increase in hyperactivity.

You can wait that long, or try the non-papain/bromelain version now. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give him 1/2 cap with every meal and snack. <<< I also backed off because I mistakenly thought he could handle more phenols, and he was reacting (I didn't know to papain, bromelain or phenols).

But as I was thinking it through, I think it is just an adjustment, because even though he is more hyperactive, he is not whiney, crying for not reason, etc, like his usual reaction to phenols/salicylates. I might be wrong, but we will see how it goes. Thanks Judy. Alice Kane's mom -You are the author of your life- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 Alice, I didn't wait until the hyperactivity subsided, because it wasn't that bad (e.g., he was able to play, and he was able to fall asleep at night, albeit 30 minutes later than usual). It was more like 1/2 a cap where I noticed hyperactivity (it's really gone now, and we're at 1 capsule per meal per day, hoping to start peptizyde in a few days).
