Dr. Jaquelyn McCandless

Jaquelyn McCandless received her Doctorate in Medicine

at the University of Illinois College of Medicine and

is certified as a Diplomate of the American Board of

Psychiatry and Neurology. She has been in private

practice in Southern California since 1966. Since the

early 1990抯, Doctor McCandless?interest in women抯

issues and sexuality led to an alternative medicine

practice with a focus on brain nutrition, anti-aging,

and natural hormone therapy. She and her husband,

mathematician and educator Jack Zimmerman, PhD have

conducted relationship workshops for years, publishing

> a book on their exploration of the spiritual dimension

> of intimacy in 1998, Flesh and Spirit: The Mystery of

> Intimate Relationship (Bramble Books). They have been

> married 27 years and have between them eight children

> and thirteen grandchildren.

>

> In 1996 after their grandchild was diagnosed with

> autism, Jaquelyn returned back intensely to basic

> medicine in response to the complexity of Chelsey抯

> disorder and began working with the biomedical aspects

> of developmentally delayed children. Jack turned his

> visionary educational interests even more toward the

> council process in schools and the exploration with

> other innovative educators of inclusion programs in

> response to the overwhelming increase in the numbers

> of special needs children entering our school systems

> now.

>

> Jaquelyn now utilizes the knowledge she gained

> exploring and using treatments for her grandchild to

> help other ASD children, including writing the book

> she so desperately needed when this aspect of her

> current life-journey started five years ago.

>

> Q:  Dr. McCandless, thank you so much for your

> generosity.  I know all of the parents greatly

> appreciate your work.  My son is 5yo, Aspergers, and

> VERY high functioning - Doing bio med for 2 years.

> What treatments do you use in your practice to

> increase eye contact and attention?  Also, Can you

> comment on your preference for chelation (TD DMPS v TD

> DMSA) and the TD DMPS, TD DMSA alternating protocol?

> Do you give minerals every day or every other day?  I

> know different Doctors use different schedules for

> supplementing.  Thank you so much!

>

> A: I don抰 use td-dmps, I had a few kids that had

> severe enuresis that didn抰 stop even after they

> stopped td-dmps. I抦 finding td-dmsa very successful.

> For td-dmps I give minerals every day. In terms of eye

> contact, the diet needs to be strict, we need to

> chelate the heavy metals out, and get the right

> nutrients in these kids to heal.

>

> Q: Thanks for being here tonight. I have a two part

> question

> (1) What does developing severe dandruff and white

> scaling skin on eyelids indicate?

> My son developed this after regular EDTA baths and a

> supplement with malic acid and Vit D.

> What can it be possibly due to? I have stopped EDTA

> baths and the supplement

> but the symptoms persist.

> (2)What you would suggest to decrease the high mercury

> and lead metal load in an HFA adult

> with 2 fillings and no amalgams, who has no access to

> removing the fillings

> (lives in a country where no such facilities are

> available).

>

> A: 1) I have no idea what that indicates, I haven抰

> seen that before in my kids. Maybe try stopping the

> baths and see if the symptoms persist. Take the child

> to a dermatologist. 2) I would use natural chelators,

> not dmps or dmsa, if you have mercury amalgams.

> Cilantro, clay baths, high selenium are some natural

> alternatives.

>

> Q:  I started my child on Valtrex today. Should I see

> positive or negative results right away? What kind of

> results am I looking for?  Does his dose sound

> correct- he is 8 years old and 55 pounds and is on 250

> mg 3 times a day.  Is there a better dosage that you

> prefer?

>

> A: With Valtrex for that size child, 500 mg 2x a day.

> Go on to 1500 after a couple weeks. I usually test a

> child first ?Immunosciences viral test. We can never

> kill off the viruses, we can suppress them.

>

> Q:  Hello Dr. McCandless - I have a 3 year old

> daughter who is mod/severely autistic.  My DAN has

> prescribed oral EDTA capsules (125mg) for chelation,

> and has advised to take one capsule a day.  He does

> not want to add any other chelators.  He just wants to

> use hair analysis to measure toxic metal output.  Is

> EDTA sufficient on its own to chelate (I am hoping for

> recovery), and is hair analysis sufficient to measure

> toxic metal output?  Thanks!

>

> A: I would have to hear what was on her testing. If

> she showed a lot of lead, edta capsules are

> appropriate. Lead hides mercury, and it makes sense to

> get lead out first. Hair analysis is not the best

> measure  - urinary from Doctor抯 Data is the best.

>

> Q: Will oral EDTA cause yeast problems?

>

> A: Not usually. A lot of kids have yeast problems

> anyway, and you may think it抯 the EDTA, but EDTA is

> not famous for causing yeast problems.

>

> Q:  Hi Dr. McCandless, thanks for joining us tonight.

> A question for lauricidin: We tried lauricidin last

> month and my son appeared more spacey, more wild

> giggling/meaningless babbling/visual stims, complained

> tummy hurt and woke up in the mid of night, is that

> some side effects you have ever observed? We also

> doing TD-DMPS so is it OK to give Lauricidin while is

> on TD-DMPS?

>

> A: I have not seen this time of reaction with

> lauricidin. Some kids need to start with just a couple

> pellets twice a day. The giggling and babbling almost

> always is yeast. Try an organic acid test to see if he

> has yeast, then start lauricidin and work up slowly.

> It can be given with anything, and given continuously.

>

> Q:  Dr McCandless,  Do you feel it is necessary to

> have yeast "under control" before beginning TD-DMSA or

> is it generally okay to begin while yeast is still an

> issue?  I feel like if we wait for the yeast to be

> under control, we'll never chelate.  FWIW, we are

> GFCFSF and are transitioning to SCD. Also, what

> dose of glutamine would you recommend for a 20 lb "gut

> kid"?  Thank you so much for your time and dedication

> to our children.

>

> A: We should have yeast somewhat under control. If

> your child has diarrhea/constipation, don抰 start

> chelation. Especially if constipated. The toxins in

> the gut with dysbiosis means the child is not

> absorbing what is needed. So it is important to get

> yeast under control, although not completely

> eradicated.

>

> Q:  My 5-yr old daughter got respiratory infection

> recently. She got a few IV antibiotics and oral

> steroids in hospital. She is fully recovered now. What

> interesting is that her attention is much better than

> before, so I am not sure whether that related to the

> IV antibiotics. I heard about some Dan doctors put

> oral antibiotics in their protocol to kill the virus.

> Is there any test we could run to find out whether

> regular IV antibiotics will help the child?  What

> would be the possible side effect?

>

> A: Probably the antibiotics cleared out a lot of bugs

> in her system. Kids will sometimes get better for a

> while. Make sure to give lots of high-potency

> probiotics, stay away from sugar, so she doesn抰 get

> the bugs back. Steroids cut down the inflammation.

> They also injure the immune system. They should only

> be used for emergency.

>

> Q: From amino acid results it showed that toxic

> ammonia levels is suspected.  How does one get toxic

> ammonia levels?  Do you use Alpha-ketoglutaric acid

> and what's your experience with this?

>

> A: When amino acid tests show ammonia is high, that is

> from gut bugs, the by-product of gut bugs. Alpha

> ketoglutaric acid, two capsules a day, will get the

> ammonia down. Cut out the sugar, heal gut with natural

> or drug (diflucan, flagyl).

>

> Q:  Dr JM-for a kiddo who has "almost" recovered

> except for speech delay and some anger issues (Dr

> Green suspects viral~PANDAS~or other) what would your

> preference be for treatment? Valtrex? Acyclovyr, or

> other?

>

> A: If Dr Green suspects pandas, he should do a strep

> or viral panel, before doing things. Dr Green is an

> excellent doctor. Ask him to get some panels, to see

> what抯 bothering your child. Pandas and viral panel

> are pretty easy to do. I would use Valtrex if you do

> treat, Acyclovyr is only 1/6th as strong.

>

> Q:  My son is 3 1/2, non verbal ASD. SO far not

> responding to bio med after 1 yr.  We have been

> fighting yeast and have used nystatin and diflucan,

> also gf/cf/sf and have tried SCD. We still have yeast

> issues. I don't want to use another prescription, what

> supplements are best to fight yeast and also won't

> interfere with chelation? Do you have experience with

> the Low oxalate diet? How is it for kids with yeast?

> Better than SCD? My son has food sensitivities, so it

> seems impossible to combine the 2.

>

> A: Most yeast outsmarts nystatin. If diflucan is not

> working, do a stool test. The best supplements to

> fight yeast, huge amounts of high potency probiotics.

> Remove all sugar, including fruit, from diet. Low

> oxalate diet does help a certain subset of kids

> marvelously. If your kid has yeast problems over and

> over, I would suggest the low oxalate diet. There are

> so many diets ?keep trying until you find what works

> for your child. Try combining the diets, even with

> sensitivities there are enough diets that you can find

> a combination that works.

>

> Q:  Have you seen any differences in patients

> reactions to TD-DMSA from Coastal and the TD-DMSA from

> Lee Silsby - are there differences in terms of how

> well they are responding and bad reactions like

> diarrhea? Thank you so much.

>

> A: Lee Silsby was first to make td-dmsa, I used that,

> it was really good, but expensive and proprietary.

> When I heard that Coastal was making it, I starting

> transferring my patients. Tyrus at Coastal is

> wonderful. Coastal is not proprietary. A lot of kids

> are responding very well. The transdermals don抰 cause

> the yeast issues that oral chelators do.

>

> Q:  Do you have kids who are overweight?  Could all

> the supplements we give our children make them

> overweight?  (His thyroid is OK.)

>

> A: The two that were overweight had low thyroid, I put

> them on low doses of armor thyroid, and they got more

> active and slimmed up. Take temperature every morning

> before he urinates or eats ?if below 97.6 3 out of 4

> mornings, thyroid is low. Make sure the kids get lots

> of exercise, don抰 let them be couch potatoes.

>

> Q:  My son has a few small areas of broken capillaries

> high on his cheeks which appeared a year or two after

> starting autism biomedical interventions.  Have you

> found  any special significance to these broken facial

> capillaries in children with autism?

>

> A: One other parent told me her child had that, but I

> don抰 know what causes it. If I find out any special

> significance, I will certainly put it on the list.

>

> Q:  I loved your book and what is hard for me is

> sorting through all possible causes for my son's

> difficulties. I just feel overwhelmed & don't know

> where to start. The most pressing issues have been

> aggression/behavioral stuff.  One clue may be in the

> blood work, which showed odd patterns over a 2-year

> period (hasn't been tested in the last year, but I

> have no reason to believe these numbers have "cleared

> up"):

> WBCs have been running 4.4-4.6 w/ a reference range of

> 5.5-13.5

> segs 23-33 reference range 50-75

> seg # 1.0-1.9 with reference range 2.0-7.3

> lymphs 55-66 reference range 20-45

> Does this speak "virus" to you, or something else?

> What step would you advise first? Already doing better

> with diet/ supplements, but feel there's still

> something "underlying".

>

> A: As we chelate the white blood cells start

> normalizing. I would test first and see what抯 going

> on. If you suspect viruses, get a viral panel. In the

> meantime, give lauricidin, a natural anti-viral. Start

> low, just a few pellets. For 50 lb child, 2 scoops a

> day, but start slowly with just a few pellets a day.

> Get your child on a restricted diet; then proper

> nutrients; then MB-12 and LDN; then chelate; then look

> at viruses.

>

> Q:  Hi Dr. JM. My 4 year old Asperger son has

> excessive mucus. Frequently spits slimy/sticky mucus

> that before gf/cf was maroon color, now clear. Also

> excessive mucus in stools, and mucus in urine.  Seems

> to get worse in cycles, not food related. No one can

> say what it is; DAN says probably leaky membranes.

> Have you ever seen this? Biomed has decreased it, but

> still a problem. Thanks!

>

> A: Some kids do have excessive mucus, I don抰 know

> why. I would guess the secretory igA is very high, the

> body is trying to coat the gut with mucus so the

> pathogen doesn抰 get in. So cut out sugar; give proper

> nutrients; treat gut bugs. That抯 more or less a

> speculation, because I don抰 know why there is

> excessive mucus.

>

> Q: Hi Dr. JM could you please comment on long term

> antibiotic treatment for an autistic child now

> diagnosed with lyme. My child was just diagnosed with

> lyme He is 5 years old gf/cf/sf/eggfree 2 1/2 years

> mb12, glutathione  myriad of supplements chelating

> with td-dmsa and using ldn with beautiful social

> results. This week he was on antibiotics for a chest

> infection and he was so connected like a different

> child Thank you!

>

> A: The temporary wonderful effects from antibiotics is

> because the bug pathogen infestation is relieved for a

> while. But the effects don抰 last too long. I can抰

> comment on long-term antibiotic treatment, except that

> it kills off the good bugs along with the bad.

>

> Q:  Thank you so much for your work and book Dr.

> McCandless.  My daughter has been on LDN since mid

> August, we are seeing good socialization, we were

> hoping to see improvement in gut, but we are still

> seeing lots of loose stool.  Her mercury levels and

> aluminum levels are extremely high, lead is also high.

> Do you think the LDN will help with gut healing in

> this situation, should we begin chelation or work on

> gut healing before starting chelation? Her stool was

> not as bad on raw goat milk kefir, but we stopped all

> dairy at this time.  We are doing probiotics, enzymes,

> vit. and minerals.  Thanks for your comments.

>

> A: I don抰 think you should wait. Malic acid will get

> aluminum down, or ALA. But if you have high mercury,

> you don抰 want to give ALA yet. You should begin gut

> healing, then chelation. LDN doesn抰 interfere with

> anything else ?it抯 designed to help the immune

> function better. It will not help gut healing, it will

> not chelate. So get the gut in shape, then use td-dmsa

> to get lead and mercury. For those that use td-dmps,

> they have to use edta for the lead because td-dmps

> pulls mercury.

>

> Q: First, Thank you so much for taking the time to

> talk to us, your expertise is so much appreciated.  Q:

> My 3 yr old son is on a long list of supplements and

> I'm able to get most in by hiding it in his food.  The

> one I'm having the most trouble getting in him is

> SuperNuThera, he took it no problem for the first 6

> months and now refuses to drink it in liquid form

> (even at ?dose mixed with flavors).  I can't get him

> to swallow any pills (other than a mild tasting

> chewable). I'm afraid to start chelating him (I have

> the prescription for the TD-DMSA) without getting the

> SuperNuThera in him.  Any suggestions on techniques

> for getting a 3 yr old to swallow pills OR

> alternatives for a strong multivitamin as a

> replacement for SuperNuThera?

>

> A: You have to get vitamins and minerals in him before

> you start chelating. Try Brainchild, that抯 excellent.

> Some kids take that when they don抰 take supernuthera.

> I use tough love ?I get the vitamins/minerals in

> whether they like it or not. Let him know you love

> him, then give him vitamins/minerals firmly and

> lovingly. But do try a different brand first. There is

> a cup you can buy, you put a pill in it and they

> swallow it. Age 3 is a little young to swallow pills.

>

> Q:  Hi Dr. I have a 3 yr old who has been on td-dmps

> since August, we showed moderate levels of mercury on

> challenge, we did not use double dose for challenge.

> Since switching to Lee Silsby formula we are seeing

> pretty impressive improvements in receptive language

> and motor skills. Would you advice discontinuing?

> Could you elaborate on what you've seen with td-dmps?

> Also, my son has a bad reaction to vit. A at any dose,

> any idea why this could happen? Thanks.

>

> A: No, not if you抮e seeing good results. My patients

> switched to dmsa because they had some side effects

> from dmps. If you抮e doing well on dmps, no don抰

> switch. In terms of bad reaction to vit A, I don抰

> know what form you抮e using. I use Klaire Micelized A,

> and haven抰 had any kids with bad effects from that.

> You might try a different form of vitamin A then what

> you抮e using now.

>

> Q:  Hi Dr. McCandless, my son is taking armour thyroid

> 15mg 2x/day, we see in 20-30 mins after the

> administration he shows cranky and bad temper,

> crying/kicking for no reason,  It however won't last

> long. We thought it could be the td-dmps but now we

> isolate that it's the armour. We stopped it for a few

> days and after the TDDMPS he had no problem. We added

> in today and that crankiness came back, just in 20

> minutes. Any thought? (my son has high TSH, he's

> 42inches but 38 lbs only)

>

> A: I would be concerned if he抯 having a bad reaction

> to armour, he might not need it. You can have it

> compounded into smaller doses. 30 mg a day might be

> too much for your child. Given his weight, the 30

> might not be too much per day, but try giving smaller

> doses, like 7 mg 4x/day.

>

> Q:  My daughter is 7 yrs old. She will not eat any

> fruit or veggies. Must hide in her pancakes, meatloaf,

> etc. She is GFCF. What is your suggestion for

> constipation that began toward the end of the first 6

> weeks of administering MB12?

>

> A: I don抰 believe the constipation is due to mb-12.

> It抯 almost always related to yeast, and not getting

> enough fiber in diet. Since she抯 not eating

> fruit/veggies, you need to find creative ways to get

> her to eat that. Give her high doses of high potency

> probiotics to treat the yeast.

>

> Q: Our 50 pound son was recently started on LDN at

> 1.5mg nightly.  Is this enough or should we increase

> the dose?  Do you generally start this at a low dose

> and then move up?  We're seeing a nice jump in

> language and he is waking up in a better mood too!!

> Also, do you think acyclovir is as good as valtrex?

>

> A: When I started my study, I started everyone on 3

> mg. Most did well; but some needed to go to much

> smaller doses. Now I have people start with 1.5mg. If

> your child is not showing any reaction, go up a little

> at a time until you get to 3 mg. If they have a

> reaction, go down in dosage. If you see a nice jump in

> language, probably a good dose. Valtrex is 6 times

> stronger then acyclovir. If you have insurance, go for

> Valtrex. Acyclovir is just not strong enough.

>

> Q: I tried MSM with my son and he began stimming (

> constant arm movements) which he NEVER had prior.

> This also happened when he decided to try scrambled

> eggs (constant finger flicking) and ate several over a

> two week period.  The stimming disappeared a week or

> two after stopping MSM/eggs.  What does this mean???

> Allergy or yeast???

>

> A: Most of our kids need sulfur, but some can抰 handle

> it. Eggs have sulfur too. Your child might be

> intolerant to sulfur. I think you need to cut out eggs

> and sulfur products. Usually they get over this. He

> might just be overdosed on it right now.  He might

> also have a bad reaction to Epsom salt baths.

>

> Q: Hi Dr. McCandless. Is there any benefit to going

> above 3 mg of LDN daily as our doctor had suggested?

> We saw some good results with the LDN at 3 mg.  (My

> son is 52 pounds.)

>

> A: I don抰 think you need to go over 3 mg at 52

> pounds. More might not be better. I suspect you抮e at

> a proper dose. This is a drug you can experiment with

> ?it抯 non-toxic. So if you want to try slightly

> higher, you can.

>

> Q: are there any tests that would indicate that TTFD

> or authia cream would be warranted?  what about metal

> free or NDF?  with respect to Vitamin A-- what is the

> right level for kids (per pound?) Are there other ways

> to get it beyond Cod liver oil? What about

> Pantontheric acid for eye symptoms?

>

> A: There aren抰 any except to test thiamine. 30% of

> kids have a thiamine deficiency, and they respond

> wonderfully to authia. Helps get out cadmium, arsenic,

> aluminum. TTFD/authia is harmless. I抳e had several

> kids mainstreamed off just diet and TTFD. I don抰

> recommend metal free or ndf, don抰 have enough data on

> it. Vitamin A ?cod liver oil and Klaire micelized A.

> I don抰 know anything about pantothenic acid for eyes.

> We need pantothene for metabolic function.

>

> Q: I have tourette syndrome and undiagnosed sensory

> processing disorder.  I'm on MB12 shots and currently

> chelating via TDDMPS and noticing great benefits with

> sensory issues.  Have you seen any results with

> chelation and tics?  For ones with multiply foods,

> dust/molds, and pollen allergies do you see chelation

> eliminating those allergies at all?  Do you see

> vitamin deficiencies normalize while chelating also?

>

> A: Yes I抳e seen tics go down with chelation; and with

> treatment of pandas with antibiotics. Many allergies

> are related to a poorly functioning immune system. Do

> everything you can do to boost immune. Monolaurin,

> lauricidin, grapefruit seed extract, uva ursi,

> Echinacea  will all help. Getting metals out will help

> immune. Eliminating viruses will help immune. Test and

> see if you need treatment for viruses, or pandas.

> Vitamins need to be given as you chelate. Vitamin

> deficiencies do get better as you get the heavy metals

> out.

>

> Q: We are thinking of having our 2.5 yr old asd son

> scoped  by Dr Krigsman, but we have heard that he

> doesn't believe in urine organic acids testing only

> stool analysis, my son has extremely high clostridia

> and yeast on oat but NONE shows up on his stool test.

> I believe he does have yeast and bacteria. Should we

> to the OAT test before seeing Dr Krigsman next year?

> He does have distention and has had blood in his stool

> on two tests. What does it mean if his face turns red

> after an epsom salt bath?

>

> A: He does do urine organic acid ?I sent him a child

> that he did that test for. I recommend this test, I

> think he will if he抯 asked. Treat the yeast and

>

> Q:  Any suggestions on how to get a 3yo (non-verbal

> and delayed cognitively) to eat something other than

> french fries?

>

> A: If he抯 living on French fries he抣l stay nonverbal

> for a long time, although they抮e healthier if you抮e

> making them at home in coconut oil. If that抯 the only

>

> Q: Thank you so much for your time & love of our kids!

> My2 and 1/2 year old just did one round of TD-DMSA

> and coincidently had an IV of glutathione immediately

> excrete the metals that were moved around?

>

> A: I think glutathione is marvelous, essential to help

>

> Q: Dr. M - it sounds like everybody knows so much

> about their child's biology, and we're just getting

> started with biomed again at age 9  for our PDD-NOS

> son.  I'm almost depressed that it sounds like you

>

> A: These parents do have to work hard and become

>

> Q:  My 4 y.o. son has been on td dmps for approx. 6

> months, with very little side effects/regressions

> (except intermittent enuresis) and has made steady

> progress. In the past if he had gut issues--- it was

> always diarrhea (never constipation). He has been on 1

> packet of Threelac (~5 months) and 1 capsule of

> Therabiotic Complete (~1 year) for yeast control.

> Now,  for the last two weeks he has been constipated.

> Is it reasonable to give something like Benefiber (or

>

> A: Constipation is the worst thing, you need to stop

> Benefiber will work. You can use authia while on

>

> Q: What is your opinion of IV-DMPS?  I have an 8yo son

>

> A: Dr Bradstreet uses iv-dmps, feels it抯 very

标题: Re:“大脑饥饿的孩子”的作者答家长问
问：如  何  提高眼睛  对视  ？请问  你  对 TD DMPS和  TD

> DMSA的  评价？ TD DMSA 的可供选择的  方  案  ？

答：我不用 TD DMPS。我发现  td-dmsa很成功  ！

对于  眼睛  对视  这个问题，禁食要  彻底  。我们需要排  重金属  ，

让孩子获得  正常  的营养  来治疗。

问：我有 3 岁女儿，我的 DAN  医生  给他开口服  EDTA (125MG) ，要求 1天1颗 .

这位  医生不想再增加  其他  的药  ，并这位  医生  只用头发

测试一项  来看重金属  的含量。是否  排毒只用 EDTA一项  就够了？

是否  只用头发测试一项  就可以  知道  身体重金属  的含量  ？

答：我不知道    你女儿的测试情况，如果    她含有很高  的  铅  ，EDTA是  对的。

铅  隐  在汞  里，把  铅  先  排  出来  是  对的。  头发

测试不是最好  的测试。要从小便里  测  。

问：口服  EDTA  能  增加酵母  菌吗  ？

答：不一定  。

问：我们用十二烷酸二羟丙基酯       后产生了副作用  ，并且是与 TD_DMPS一起  用  ，他们是否  可以一起  用？

答：做一个    有机酸测试  看他有没有  酵母菌  问题  ，然后才开始  用  十二烷酸二羟丙基酯    ，量慢慢上去，它应该          可以  与其他  东西一起  用得。

问：你是否    认为需要  在酵母菌  被  控制  后，才开始  用 TD-DMSA？还是没有被控制，就       可以开始  。

如果  我等待  酵母菌被控制后，再开始  。

也许  我  永远  没法  开始排毒。我们现在是  ，禁面，禁牛奶    制品，还禁  糖了。并且  正在  转向  SCD。

并且你可以  推荐  glutamine的  剂量  吗  ？对一个 20 磅的  孩子？

答：我认为应该  在  酵母菌有所  控制  的  情况下  开始。如果  你  的  孩子  有  痢疾  /便秘  ，不要开始  排毒  。特别  是便秘  ，

在肠里有毒素，这个孩子不会       吸收需要吸收  的东西  。把  酵母菌控制住是非常    重要  的。尽管还不能彻底根除    。

问：因为生病  ，我  5岁的女儿通    用了  静脉输液抗生素  以及  口服  抗生素，惊喜  的是  ：她的注意力获得了提高  。

我听说一些    DAN医生把  口服抗生素放在他们  的  治疗方案  中，是否使用静脉输液抗生素可以帮助孩子？他们  有  副作用  吗  ？

答：也许  抗生素杀死了她  体  内  的  很  多病  菌，有些  孩子  能  获  得  临时  的好转  。需要给  与高效  probiotics，远离  糖  。

那么  她  就不会  把病  菌再带回来  。抗生素是杀伤  免疫  系统的  ，他们  应该在  紧急  情况  下  才  使用  。

标题: Re:“大脑饥饿的孩子”的作者答家长问
问：我为了控制孩子的酵母菌用了制霉菌素，Diflucan,禁牛奶和小麦食物，但酵母菌仍无法控制。在不影响排重金属的情况下，如何控制酵母菌？

答：大部份酵母菌对制霉菌素耐药了，如果用了Diflucan的效果仍不好，可以做一个大便检查。控制酵母菌要服用高效的有益菌，禁服含糖食物，包括水果。如果酵母菌仍无法控制，可以试低草酸盐食谱。还可以试其他食谱，直到找到好的办法。

问：你认为Coastal和 Lee Silsby 生产的TD-DMSA有区别吗？

答：Lee Silsby 最先生产TD-DMSA，很好，但很贵，因为有专利。Coastal 生产的TD-DMSA也不错，因为无专利，就便宜。我现在的病人开始服用Coastal 生产的TD-DMSA，反应很好。与口服的DMSA一样，TD-DMSA也有酵母菌问题，但轻些。

问：我的女儿从去年开始服用LDN(注：LDN为低剂量纳曲酮。在高剂量时50mg用于戒毒治疗，但在低剂量时 3-5mg，发现是很好的免疫增强剂。) 社交能力好象有改善，但肠道仍不好，体内的汞，铅和铝都很高。LDN能改善肠道吗？我们应该马上排毒，还是先改善肠道然后再排毒？

答：我认为你不应等待。LDN主要是免疫增强剂，不能改善肠道，也不能排毒。可以服用苹果酸来排铝。你应改善孩子的肠道后，马上用TD-DMSA来排汞和铅。如果你用TD-DMPS，还应加用EDTA来排铅，因为TD-DMPS不排铅。

作者: pengxc 时间: 2006-4-3 12:54
标题: Re:“大脑饥饿的孩子”的作者答家长问
问：我50磅的儿子开始服用LDN每晚1.5mg。你认为剂量够吗？你是否从低剂量开始，然后逐渐增加？我看到孩子在语言上有很大进步，醒后的情绪也改善。另外，你认为Acylovir和 Valtrex同样好吗？

答：在我的研究中，通常从3mg开始，大部份反应很好，但少数需要更小的剂量。现在我的一些病人服用1.5mg，如果效果不明显，逐渐增加剂量到3mg。如果增加剂量出现不好的效果，就降低一点剂量。如果你看到在语言方面出现很大进步，通常表明剂量合适。Acylovir比 Valtrex强6倍。所以，用LDN最好选Acylovir。

问：如果把LDN的剂量增加到3mg以上会有好处吗？我52磅的儿子服用3mg LDN已出现好的效果。

大家好！这里，我把Nina翻译的部份和我翻译的部份合并在一起，形成一个完整的文章，便于阅读。因为时间问题，仅选了重要部份翻译，基本达意。如要理解全文，请读英文原文。同时，谢谢的Ninad的翻译工作。

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

问：如何提高眼睛对视？请问你对 TD-DMPS和 TD-DMSA的评价？ TD DMSA 的可供选择的方案？

答：我不用 TD-DMPS。我发现几个孩子用了TD-DMPS后出现严重的遗尿症，停药后也不停止。我发现用 TD-DMSA很成功！对于眼睛对视这个问题，禁食要彻底。我们需要排重金属，补充矿物质，让孩子获得正常的营养来治疗。

问：我有 3 岁女儿，我的 DAN 医生给他开口服 EDTA (125MG) ，要求 1天1颗 .这位医生不想再增加其他的药，并这位医生只用头发测试一项来看重金属的含量。是否排毒只用 EDTA一项就够了？是否只用头发测试一项就可以知道身体重金属的含量？

答：我认为排毒应该在酵母菌有所控制的情况下开始。如果你的孩子有痢疾 /便秘，不要马上开始排毒。特别是便秘，肠里有毒素，孩子不会吸收需要吸收的东西。把酵母菌控制住是非常重要的。尽管还不能彻底根除。

问：因为生病，我 5岁的女儿通用了静脉输液抗生素以及口服激素，惊喜的是：她的注意力获得了提高。我听说一些 DAN医生把口服抗生素放在他们的治疗方案中，是否使用静脉输液抗生素可以帮助孩子？他们有副作用吗？

答：也许抗生素杀死了她体内的很多病菌，有些孩子能获得临时的好转。需要给与高效 probiotics，远离糖。那么她就不会把病菌再带回来。激素会减轻炎症，但也会杀伤免疫系统的，应该只在紧急情况下才使用。

问：我为了控制孩子的酵母菌用了制霉菌素，Diflucan,禁牛奶和小麦食物，但酵母菌仍无法控制。在不影响排重金属的情况下，如何控制酵母菌？

答：大部份酵母菌对制霉菌素耐药了，如果用了Diflucan的效果仍不好，可以做一个大便检查。控制酵母菌要服用高效的有益菌，禁服含糖食物，包括水果。如果酵母菌仍无法控制，可以试低草酸盐食谱。还可以试其他食谱，直到找到好的办法。

答：在我的研究中，通常从3mg开始，大部份反应很好，但少数需要更小的剂量。现在我的一些病人服用1.5mg，如果效果不明显，逐渐增加剂量到3mg。如果增加剂量出现不好的效果，就降低一点剂量。如果你看到在语言方面出现很大进步，通常表明剂量合适。Acylovir比  Valtrex强6倍。所以，最好选用Acylovir。(注：Acylovir， Valtrex 为抗病毒药，主要抗疱疹病毒等。现在的理论认为自闭症可能与神经系统的病毒感染有关，可以试用抗病毒疗法。)

问：如果把LDN的剂量增加到3mg以上会有好处吗？我52磅的儿子服用3mg LDN已出现好的效果。

答：我不认为把LDN的剂量增加到3mg以上会有好处。如果你觉得剂量不够，可以适当调高试试，因为LDN是无毒的。

问：我的儿子现在在排毒，用了TD-DMPS，LDN，MB-12，NDF和其他添加剂，也禁食，但7岁仍无语言功能。他体内的铝很高，何为排毒的好方法？

答：我建议服用苹果酸。ALA和TTFD也会排铝。还建议做一个有机酸检查，看有否肠道细菌，酵母菌等。别用铝锅，别用铝箔，别用铝盆吃饭喝水。

问：我今天开始给孩子用Acylovir。我将看到什么样的结果？我儿子8岁，55磅，用Acylovir 250mg, 一天3次对吗？

答：象你那样的孩子，我用500mg, 一天2次。几周后渐加到1500mg. 我通常在用药前会先做病毒免疫学检查。但药物只能抑制病毒，并无法清除病毒。

问：我的孩子恢复的差不多，但仍有说话慢，和易怒等问题。医生怀疑他有神经系统的病毒感染。你推荐何种抗病毒疗法药物？Acylovir？  Valtrex？或其他？

答：建议用药前先做病毒免疫学检查，看是何种病毒影响孩子。病毒学的检查很容易做。如果用抗病毒药，我会用强的Acylovir。

问：什么样的孩子需用Valtrex ？是否用药总要做病毒学的检查？

答：我认为病毒学的检查到诊断是必要的。排毒可以帮助孩子控制病毒。控制饮食，恢复肠道，然后排毒，最后用抗病毒疗法。如果能把重金属排出，低下的免疫系统可以自然恢复。病毒和重金属是相互依存。如果不把重金属排出，你会永远用Valtrex。所以，第一是排毒。如果孩子在排毒后效果仍不好，就应该考虑用抗病毒疗法。
