Hi Russ, ((( Smiles ))))
I wish I new about this early on when they were little.
Right now my children use a prescribed B-12 nasal spray,
Molybdenum, and glutathione cream plus other supplements everyday..
They were both low in glutathione but my severe child is missing the 5 glutathione gene set..
I don't know if it's just turned off or missing but it probably was caused by the toxin insult to her system from vaccines as a baby or child.
Thats what I believe might have deleted them or turned them off.
Maybe that's why she is more severe and regressive and my other child has recovered alot and has never been regressive..
Except early on when they lost speech ect as you hear the same story from other parents but not the regressive autism.
I think toxins and infections are the cause of her regressions..
Didn't know it back then but was giveing them B-12 folic acid magnesium ect when very young but probably not the best kind not like now..
I wonder if the GNC/ Swanson stuff was even good enough to help any at all..
They don't have almagams fillings and they will never get them either..
I have 8 and I know it's a bad thing now..
But it would be very noisy and I may get sick takeing them out..
I wish they would just fall out..
One fell out once but had it replace with an amalgam.
That was so long ago.
Maybe testing a person to see if they have a functioning glutathione gene set..
If not..
That can explain one haveing extreme reactions to a toxic internal environment.
I wonder how many people out there are missing that gene set..
Interesting...
These symptoms are all caused -- at the root -- by mercury. It just happens that poor mercury excretors often have trouble methylating B-12 and therefore don't produce much glutathione (via the homocysteine-methionine pathway), hence they have poor mercury excretion. Hence we have a symptomatic association between B-12 deficiency and these symptoms.
No big surprise then that most autistic kids have trouble methylating B-12; They don't produce much glutathione and are -- therefore -- poor mercury excretors.
Raising B-12 only helps if the person is capable of utilizing methylating B-12. Better would be methycobalamine -- pre-methylated B-12. This helps in the utilization of homocysteine (lowering levels) and increasing glutathione production.
Unfortunately, B-12 also contributes to the methylation of mercury.
