Guest guest Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Today I learned about this site <http://noharmfoundation.org/> The idea about the protocol located there, is that a low iron, high Phytate diet is creating for lots of kids a Manganese toxicity! (Phytates are soy/tofu/soy infant formulas, and in high concentrations in processed foods such as breakfast cereals... manganese even comes in multivitamin supplements) Manganese is toxic to the basal ganglia nerve cells in the brain. Anyone with a child with sensory, OCD, depression, moodiness, behavioral issues can try the Spectrum Protocol diet which is available for free from <http://noharmfoundation.org/>(also is attached) Click on " download Spectrum Balance Dietary protocol " on upper right hand corner of that web site. It's a long read but pretty much answers all questions in the one document. An important and shocking read is the Weston Price article " Manganese Madness " at: <http://www.westonaprice.org/soy-alert/692-manganese-madness.html> WARNING IT HAS SOME VERY TROUBLESOME INFO ABOUT MANGANESE IN SOY BASED INFANT FORMULAS... The diet is only for 4 months. They are collecting data on the diet right now. I'm going to try this diet with my daughter (was PDD NOS, now has sensory issues, speech issues, emotional lability, mild neurological issues and learning problems). Parents are asked to note all symptoms before starting the diet: physical complaints (read the Weston Price article), processing levels, language levels etc. and if on the spectrum, to score the child on the ATEC (Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist) : <http://www.autism.com/ind_atec.asp> once before and again after completion of the diet and feed this data back to the developer. That's the least we can do since she is making this available for free. Because of the limited time to implement this diet, it is doable - much easier than 2 years on GAPS diet or the rest of your life on SCD, etc. One idea would be to stick only to the Recommended foods for the 4 months - that is, if you want the maximum impact of the diet or at least the first few weeks, to see what changes come about. blessings, Liora Pearlman , ModeratorMom “The only safe vaccine is one that is never used " - Dr. R. , former director of the (U.S.) National Institute of Health (NIH) " There is insufficient evidence to support routine vaccination of healthy persons of any age " - Frame, M.D., Journal of Family Practice “I have no doubt whatever that vaccination is an unscientific abomination and should be made a criminal practice†- Bernard Shaw " You medical people will have more lives to answer for in the other world than even we generals "   - Napoleon Bonaparte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
