We started Step Two on Monday, with supplements intended to get the methylation cycle going. Specifically, Mike is taking hydroxy B-12 tablets, one for four days, two per day for another four days? or longer? and working up to three per day. He is still on a collection of vitamins and minserals from Step One, and "ammonia RNA" drops from Step One-A.

His behavior is pretty typical, very impulsive, sometimes angry, not cooperative at all. Haven't seen any mood swings, really. So, we'll see! This is the part of the protocol where detoxification is supposed to take place. I bought a urine amino acids test to use at this point to see what is going on. I will wait to use it though.

I decided to take him off his Abilify medication as well as his Metadate. He was having an anger problem that got him kicked out of camp. The Metadate probably was making that worse. The Abilify is supposed to make it better. But he still got kicked out of camp. His doctor had suggested putting him on a differnt med if Abilify didn't seem to be helping. So, for now, I'll just take him off it. We have an appointment with his psychiatrist early in September, at which I will try to explain all this. I am really hoping Mike can get off a lot of his meds and stay off. He is also taking clonazepam for anxiety and cymbalta for depression/mood swings. We'll leave those where they are for now.
