Guest guest Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 This injection received contained " peptides " . This reminded me of a mercury chelation supplement " PCA-Rx " . The " P " in this stands for " peptide " . I remember that Glenn was interested in this supplement at one time. Did you try it, Glenn? Has anyone? Here's a website which sells it (a bottle costs $125): http://www.awakennutrition.com/more.html Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 I was going to test PCA-Rx but then learned that it didn't work as advertised. They claim that it removes heavy metal and completely encapsulates mercury so it can safely get out of system. But some people who have tested it said they still experienced free mercury poisoning their bodies. So I chose other chelators.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Glenn, I Still want to find out exactly what the definition of a peptide is. I'm going to do a search to see what I can find. The injections I'm taking sound pretty different. It's not a chelator. I know that. It's supposed to affect the way the immune system works. I'll try to find out more. P.S. Are you the moderator? Did you see the post that came in from Ellen Hellingwerf? That person scares me. Can you check out anything else like that that comes in please. Thanks. M.

It's supposed to affect the way the immune system works. PCA-Rx is also supposed to affect the way the immune system works, and is primarily " good bacteria " , so I don't see any inconsistencies yet. > P.S. Are you the moderator? Did you see the post that came in from > Ellen Hellingwerf? That person scares me. Heh, my wife (the yoga teacher) explained to me that this was based on Kundalini. It didn't scare her... Oh, and *I* am the moderator. It's hard to say where I should draw the line on what is acceptable and what is not... although perhaps Ellen, you should tone down your posts a bit... :-) Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it appears that more than one chelator has gone by the name " PCA " , so there is a lot of confusion in general about PCA-Rx: http://ssl.maxamlabs.com/MAXAM_ASP_CMS_Templates_STD_HTML.asp?PageINDX=18 Considering this recent peptide/ES news, I'm gonna give it a try... will report later...

I just recalled that the company that produces the glutathione supplement HMS-90 also has a peptide product. I have a bottle at home which I never tried, so will give it a try. It is also inexpensive: http://www.immunotec.com/biohealth/page.asp?intNodeID=2487 Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 It might have to be a very specific peptide to give the " magic bullet " effect that has reported. There are lots of different peptides, and lots of them are in our gut already. They are formed from chains of amino acids, which are the building blocks for proteins, and are one of the main digestive products in our gut. So, in one sense, nothing that startling about them! Supplements providing peptides are likely to be trying to correct nutritional deficiencies or problems in digestion/absorption (by providing what we would normally get from digested protein in a form that's already broken down and may be easier for the body to take in). The preparation supplied to sounds as if it is intended to work on a completely different principle - to stop at source all the antibodies triggering uncontrollable allergic reactions that cause us problems. Probably that means a very specific mix of particular peptides, so it's unlikely that standard supplements would have anything like the same mix. Will be very interesting to hear of 's future experience and that of other people if they try this! It would be a great idea if it worked. It might not work the same for everyone, as everyone's individual mix of symptoms, causes and sensitivities seems to be a bit different.

I just mean that perhaps you should try to write messages that other people can understand, and also that are on-topic for this group. If you're trying to help others, you're not doing a very good job if you're scaring them or leaving them scratching their heads trying to figure out what you are trying to communicate.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Hi All, I am new to this group My name is Bettina, I live in South Africa, I am a mother of three. Our youngest son, Sebastian, 4yrs, has brain damage. we recently did urine stool and hair tests. sebastian has high levels of mercury lead aluminium arsenic so I have decided he may be classified as autistic. he has inflammatory bowel disease Sebastian is non verbal. The main issues we have always had is cramping after eating, he is on a gfcf diet. i recently bought ENZYMES by DEFelice and i think this is the best book i have read so far. i have been researching for four years. just a quick question I have started sebastian on Digest from enzymedica , it includes protease at 42000 hut. what is the difference between protease to break down protein and peptidase to break down peptides. does the protease not break down the protein sufficiently. i have started at a 1/4 capsule and now after a week give 1/2 at mealtimes the recommended dosage for children under three is 1/2 capsule. do you find children with bad digestion need more or do you follow the guidelines. i am really hoping this will be the start of something good for sebastian. thanks love from sa Tina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Hi Tina, Protease is enough for most people. And it's enough for our kids if they're GFCF 100% of the time. But if our kids get any gluten or casein, they do not digest them completely, even with protease. They need the peptidase to break down the peptides that are left by partially-digested gluten/casein. You say your son is four and you've been researching four years. How old was he when you noticed something different about him? My son was six months, though it took me much longer to get help for him. G.
