It's a shame, but that article was written by someone with a competing

financial interest and it's absolutely not true. I've had my son on NF for well

over a year and it has done great things for him. Other on the list have been on

it longer.

This comes up periodically...is there any way to get that article removed?

I'm guessing Pangborn is not interested in making a retraction. Sheesh.

Doesn't Kirkman sell a phenol-assist enzyme? Funny, no mention that it

is bad!

IMO, there's just too many people around that don't want these kids to

get better, no profit in it.

Actually, my DAN! doctor mentioned this a while back. She said she

doesn't want us to just give the No Fenol willy-nilly with every

meal. It's not good to get rid of ALL fenols. Instead we give it

with foods that cause a reaction, like the rare times we allow candy

that has coloring in it.

No-fenol does not get rid of all phenols. The current hypothesis

about how No-fenol works is that it allows the phenols to be digested

properly. Please ask your doctor to read the description of the

product at the Houston website.

Dr. Houston has addressed the misinformation by Dr. Pangborn, who was

working for a competing enzyme manufacturer at that time.

No-fenol improved my son's digestion of highly phenolic fruits and

vegetables.

with any of the enzymes is that the break down some--it would

be hard to take enough to break down all of anything.

Isn't it doing what the body is not able to yet because of

compromised digestion and perhaps foods that are not rich in

enzymes?

My daughter takes no fenol with every meal and it has been with

the additon of it that we've seen the real improvements.

It does not " get rid " of phenols. It correctly digests them, so they

can work properly in the body.

Giving it with foods that cause a reaction is okay. Maybe your child

correctly digests certain phenols and not others.
