Ok, this sounds like my son when I first started him on No Fenol. A few people told me to up the dose, and as strange as that sounded, it actually worked. While he got really hyper on about 1/8 of a capsule, he didn't get hyper at all on 1 full capsule. I have no idea why, but figured one day I had nothing to lose by trying, and, oddly enough, it worked. Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Dana - 1 capsule per meal or per day? I'm afraid that if I gave him a whole capsule at a meal, he'd go ballistic based on what I've seen at 1/3 a capsule per meal. Are you thinking that the NF at 1/3 a cap is starting the job but not finishing it and that's why the baths are working? If I gave him a full capsule, instead of building up slowly, would it be possible that I would actually see FEWER side effects? When I read 's book, it sounded like she was just able to give her sons 1 pep and 1 zp right away without working up to it. Zachary seems so sensitive every time I increase his enzymes that I worry I'm giving him too much. That's why I've stayed at 1/3 of the thropps for the last 8 months.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 No matter when you do it, it will take adjustment. For us it took three whole weeks just to acclimate to the No-Fenol. We started with Zyme Prime and then added AFP, and saved No-Fenol for last. By the time it was all said and done, two months had gone by. There have been a number of us who were in tears because of the messes piling up around the house, the inability to leave the house due to the meltdowns, etc. Reading 's book plus a few others put us in the right frame of mind to follow through though. Had it not been for the brief moments of improvements, the glimpses of breakthroughs, the acquisitions of new skills, etc. I'd probably not have continued. No-Fenol, 1 Week > Hi.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 > Dana - > > 1 capsule per meal or per day? Whenever you would have given the lower amount, give a full capsule instead. So " per meal " . >>Are you thinking that the NF at 1/3 a cap is > starting the job but not finishing it and that's why the baths are > working?
