Mike has been hyper a lot lately. I am now thinking that it wasn't the phosphatadyl serine making him hyper. Something else is making him hyper. It isn't necessarily a food or a supplement. I am just puzzled at this point. The chiro muscle-tested him for PS, and it tested effective, so she put him on three per day. Also tested effective for two others I had eliminated for other reasons: yucca and curcumin. Go figure. She is making her way very slowly through his enormous list of supplements.

Mike is not really on a very low protein diet at this point. It is just too hard to control what he is eating, given that there are other people in the family who need to be on a high protein diet (me). So the sort-of-low-protein diet doesn't eliminate hyperness. Aargh. I am really praying that some of these supplements will make a huge difference for him.

The applied kinesiologist chiropractor has made a difference for me. My knees are all pointy again. I am so happy. They had been padded with fluid or something, and very prone to swelling up with bursitis--all I had to do was kneel on a hard floor for a couple of seconds, and I had unworkable knees for two weeks. This is from supplements the AK has given me, Lipotrope and pantothenic acid, also calcium citrate and magnesium citrate. She also told me I am allergic to wheat, oats, and rye. We proved that last week by my not eating wheat for a week and then eating some. Got all tired and fuzzy headed. I am a little glum about no cookies and cake though. :( Somehow cookies made with corn meal don't sound too great.

Comments:
THe other thing to consider is B12 - some people can't convert B12 into its active forms. Cyanocobalamine is not an active form of B12, by the way. And while methylB12 is an active form, some people can't handle methyl donors too well.

Active B12 is involved in making the digestive enzyme one requires to digest grains like wheat, corn, oats...

My daughter was able to lose her IgG's to wheat, corn, rye, gluten, after a little while on active B12. She is intolerant of methylB12 so we used adenosylcobalamine from Thorne Research.

Oh, and by the way, even though Yasko's genetic test said my daughter could handle all the methyl groups in the world, she has yet to MRT strong to anything with methyl donors... they have her blow up and get ever so impulsive. She has never been diagnosed as bipolar, but if she's on methyl groups, she sure acts it.

Here's a great article on why one wants to think twice before giving an autistic child cyanocobalamine: http://www.dadamo.com/napharm/store3/template2/b12.htm

The gist is that cyanocobalamine is B12 linked up to cyanide. Cyanide is toxic and needs to be chelated out of the body by using the same chelator our kids are already short on: glutathione (GSH). So while increasing B12, we are also increasing our kids' detox burdens: not good! :(

Thank you for your blog...
