Re: Need Help with AggressiveTeen/Yeast Protocol Questions

[Guest guest]

He sounds like a normal teen boy almost! Yes they do at this age, rage! Raging

hormones going on! But I am sure with the quiting his med this is much more than

the norm. Prozac! From what I understand they need to ween off! Being on for

that many years he probably has no natural serotonin in his body. Anti

depresants do destroy our bodies natural form of serotonin. Sugars well send

them crawling the walls. Teens seem to really want the stuff. We have a hard

time with our 15yr old getting those energy drinks and soda's! I always can tell

when he has had some, he gets crazy!! As far as the prozac etc. If you can get

him to take, magnesium would be a good start. It is considered the calming

mineral! Dark greens are a natural source of serotonin etc. Jennie<><

Does the treatment of yeast calm behavior?

How soon should I see a response?

I have read to use activated charcoal for die off, but since he is

already aggressive how will I recognize die off symptoms?

Should I just give the activated charcoal?

My son has been on prozac since he was 6 years old. It really helped

him with his OCD. A few weeks ago he starting refusing to take it

because he complains that it gets caught in his throat and burns. I

have researched to see if coming off this medication would cause

aggressive behavior but could not find indication of this. Does

anyone here have any experience with this?

I have also been told that once our children hit puberty they become

very aggressive. I have read several posts from the past files with

families who have had this issue. Are there any parent with older

children who have dealt with this? What worked for you?

My husband and I are very concerned about our son's irrational

behavior and we are at the point that we may need to seek placement

before he hurts someone or himself. This is killing us and we could

use any advice and your prayers.

Thank you.

Hi

My husband has had dreadful sugar cravings for years. Recently I attended a

seminar given by a guy specializing in the omega oils. One thing he

mentioned was that if the body is low in one of the omegas (can't recall if

it was 3 or 6) it can lead to fluctuations in blood sugar levels which in

turn can trigger the body's " survival mechanism " . He said this can in turn

cause a sugar craving which is stronger than a heroin addiction. He said

" will power " stands no chance against this craving. (This is particularly a

problem in diabetics, which runs in my husband's family.) Anyway, my

husband started on a good omega blend (Udo's 369 Blend) and he has noted a

marked reduction in cravings - they are rare now, whereas they used to occur

daily.

>Does the treatment of yeast calm behavior?

My understanding is that yeast make an alcohol as their byproduct so, for

some, that can cause aggression, others the giggles (my son used to be up

singing like a sailor on shore leave at 2 in the morning!) As you kill off

the yeast, you reduce their byproducts, so that can calm behaviour.

Sometimes things get worse before they get better:-(

For my 2nd son, aggression was from proliferation of bad bacteria not yeast

overgrowth (shown up in a fecal test). There are many protocols for

controlling bad bacteria. For my son, he went on a penicillin antibiotic

for 4 days a month for a few months and that conked the bad guys out enough

so now, just OLE and probiotics keep it in check.

Thinking of you and praying for you and your family

Good luck

Yes. I used biotin and GSE to control yeast here

The B complex and the C will tend to increase yeast.

> Does the treatment of yeast calm behavior?

If he has yeast overgrowth, yes.

> How soon should I see a response?

Depends on how well the protocol is addressing the yeast. You can try

giving GSE, that really kicks yeast at my house.

You can try. Give it about 30-45 minutes after your anti-fungal.

Try a multi-enzyme like HNI TriEnza or Kirkman Complete. Also the

yeast control.
