Megson, Vit A, Bethanecol, cholines & Pesticides & social interaction gains

[Guest guest]

Here is a link to this article

I have questions about this as I try to go back and figure out the gains with

child #1. We have been giving child #1 CLO with his meals (he eats twice a day)

for about four months. He is 152 lbs. This is 2500 iu's of vit A in the CLO he

is recieving.

In the vit A protocol described here, they would be giving 7500 IU's of Vit A a

day for a child over 125 lbs for two months then giving a perscription for

Bethanecol, and report seeing dramatic results in eye contact with this protocol

(we have seen dramatic results in eye contact). They also report dramatic

increase in social interaction. (I got this info from the pfeiffer institute vit

a protocol handout)

I also noticed that Bethanecol is a choline (or urecholine-Whats the

difference?). I did a google on urecholine and most of the articles cost money,

but a lot of the research surrounded gut issues. We just started a month ago a

supplement with phosphadatylcholine in it, and a few weeks ago NOW B-50 which

according to Taber's medical dictionary, has the nutritional factor of choline

in B-complex. B-50 contains 50mg of choline (choline bitartrate). B-50 contains

B-6 as 50 mg Pyridoxine HCI. (I am rabbit trailing...but the pfeiffer protocol

says to give P5P..and while I am thinking of this...could we add this and should

we add this to what we are already doing?)

I was hypothosizing if we could be getting a vit A/choline effect with our new

gains? If this is true, then should I up vit A for child #1, and try to get a

doc to prescribe Bethanecol after two months? No small feat, our local town doc

thinks I'm a loony. Or, is taking a choline supplement the same as Bethanecol?

This would make it much easier for me to bypass the whole doctor issue. Are all

cholines equal?

What about Cholines? I have read recently about pesticides blocking choline

receptors.

This is significant to me because just over two months ago child #1 went to the

emergency room after our neighbors sprayed chemlawn on a 50mph windy day, with

child #1's window open, and the spray went directly onto him where he was

sleeping in his bed by the open window. He was significantly worse and his

physical symptoms went off the charts, and his behavioral symptoms went to worse

than before we started this whole enzyme/gut prep/chelation journey eight months

ago.

Megson discussed a theory about autism being linked to a choline pathway

being blocked. What do you think? a quote " Our early experience with

treatment with natural cis forms of Vitamin A in Cod Liver Oil (CLO) in these

autistic children, followed by stimulation of blocked acetylcholine receptors

for neurotransmitters affected with a blockage of G-alpha pathways in the cell,

is promising. There are dramatic, immediate improvements in language, vision,

attention and social interaction in some of these children, as evidenced by the

following case reports. "

Well, I guess you could say dramatic improvements in social interaction would be

the understatement of the year in our case...(YAY!!!)

She is saying that the Bethanecol, or urecholine, is used to stimulate blocked

acetylcholine receptors...so it is really important for me to understand if you

HAVE to have urecholine, or if just the phosphatidylcholine and B-50 I have been

given, have stimulated a similar stimulation of blocked acetylcholine receptors,

and this is why we are seeing gains.

Ok, I think I'd better take a break before my brain implodes. I'd love to hear

your imput.
