L-Acetyl-Carnitine - huge responder

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has had huge break throughs with l-acetyl-

carnitine? We saw incredible jumps in receptive and expressive

language along with focus for the first week of trying this

supplement. Now the gains have tapered off. I'm treating for yeast

now in the event that it is masking the gains. Does anyone have

experience with this?

This seems to be the ongoing story of our lives:  new supplement/med, great

breakthoughs, then tapering off of good side effects. 

But I don't know that that doesn't happen to so many people, mercury-challenged

or not.  I don't have toxicity issues (that I'm aware of) and I take many of

the supplements that my son does, as they are just good supplement and often

anti-aging recommended.  They seem great at first then don't seem to have any

noticeable effects or further improvments after a couple of weeks.

Thanks for commenting. I wonder why that is. Does anyone have any

theories? Because I'm not talking about a noticable improvement

with this - it was major (and it's not totally gone, but the few

days it " worked " wowwee my son was in a state I cannot explain other

than to say seriously on the road to non-ASD). I wonder if

supplementing one thing can lead to depletion in something else so

the gains are lost with the depletion of the next item. I wish we

could plug our babies (and ourselves) into a diagnostic machine and

figure it all out (like a car . Also, the thought that yeast

kicks up and masks the benefit seems reasonable.

,

We have a similar story. My daughter responded big time at the start

of her treatment 3 months ago. She's not on the same supplements as

your child, but the gains started abating after a few weeks. We

started biomed in July so I'm still relatively new at theorizing about

issues, but my current theory is that it's largely a problem with

YEAST and possibly some viral issues that are clouding things. In her

case, she was on an antifungal (fluconazole) for 2 weeks at the start

with no natural yeast control afterwards. So I think the medication

zapped the yeast during the period where we saw gains, then it slowly

crept back and is clouding the progress. I've also seen signs of it at

times (eg cloudy urine) so it's my #1 theory today.

I'm trying to find the right yeast fighting balance that works for

her. Blast that yeast thing, 4 months ago I'd never even heard about

systemic yeast and today it's my nemesis!

I'd also like to hear from others with similar experiences.

Yep.

At my house, carnitine was required for proper absorption of B12, TMG,

folic acid, and vitamin C. When I first started the carnitine, it

caused a relatively immediate absorption of all the free-floating of

those supplements. After a while, the gains appeared to taper off,

but then I increased those supplements and the gains continued again.

Dana,

I've done a trial of DMG (twice) the most recent being six months

ago and it made my son very cranky and we didn't see any gains at

all. Could this be because he couldn't handle it? Should I try DMG

or TMG now with the carnitine?

I don't think he had any free floating at the time, but he may have

had some free floating phosphatidlcholine in his system. Could this

be the difference?

He also seemed to get hyped up when we had the folic acid in the B12

shots, so we took it out. Does this mean I should try these again?

Thank you!
