SON'S SUDDEN NEUROLOGICAL ISSUES

Posted by Anonymous on 05/14/2011

Hello Ted;

Hoping you can answer me for I know HOW valuable your time is helping people around the world. My son had a break down 3 weeks ago this Sunday. He calmed down and again on our way to the hospital started getting violent and paranoid. The next day he was medicated with Risperidona half of a 3mg pill and Neuryl 0,5 clonazepam also half, both at night. He is doing ok with this medicine, meaning no more episodes and a bit controled from his usual bit of bad temper. But a bit of him is slightly gone. A bit not my well know boy.

I not have a punctual diagnose as of yet. I read if a boy is given this medications with no other treatment (From Dr. HOBBER ORTHOMOLECULAR medicine) he is finished if not treated the first two years parallel to medicine. And taken off. I have been told his dosage soon will have to be upped.

The problem is I search and asked all over the country (Argentina) and there is no orthomolecular neurologicla drs. I have supplements I have ordered from the states for it is impossible to buy here, People are not geared to this thinking. I am getting a lot of resistance and critics to wanting to supplement. I just do not know what I must give him, plus I do not want to hurt his liver or anything for that matter. He is only sixteen, very very skinny and smokes a lot of cigarettes. He did consume marihuana for 2 and a half years.

He is trying so hard to do everything right and realizes he is having a neurological problem. he is also a bit scared with all this.

I have B-complex 50

Chelated zinc 15mg each

Vitamin E with mixed tocopherols 400 iu each

Vitamin C with rose hips 1000 mg each

Candidase for candida

Bio Citrate Manganese 50 mg each

no- flush niacin (inositol hexanicotinate) 500 mg each

Amino acids essentials. free form amino acids.

Niacinamide as niacinamide 550 mg each

D- 5000
Flaxseed oil 1300 mg each

this is the supplements i have at home

I can send blood, urine and saliva test. He has been asked to get them done next week, I should have results soon.

Can you guide me? Please.

The cause of most people for this kind of sickness is viral in nature, so you can be able to get some antiviral supplements. B3 he will be helped the most and you are correct. But there is also lysine and threonine being most important too. The lysine powdered form is 1/2 teaspoon taken for 6 hours for a couple of days should helped get rid of most viruses. There is some fungus, but that is if he does not respond to antiviral supplement. Vitamin C helps and B3 but you have to get dosages correct. It's 500 mg every 2 hours and vitamin C every 2 hours 1000 mg. That is taken a total of 4000 mg each in a single day. I treated one person like this, but there are others, such as taurine, GABA, etc. Local herb antiviral also help. In my locale, I might used andrographis paniculata, and clinacanthus nutans, or some South American variety, such as cumanda helps rid of these viruses quickly. A lot of neurological problems unrecognized is viral and some mycobacterium. We all know syphilis, and rabies are but a few examples, but newer ones pass laboratory detection, because they are not looking for one, or that these are in your brain, and getting biopsies like this is difficult. What I do know is I had great successes treating neurological disorders based on that theory, might be an accident, but the results are there.

6/21/2011: HELLO TED,

GOD BLESS YOU, MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED. GETTING YOUR LETTER HAS GIVEN ME HOPE FOR BRENEN MY SON. (16) I HAVE CONTINUED MY LETTER ON THE SAME PAGE IN CASE YOU NEED TO CHECK BACK ON ANYTHING I WRITTEN BEFORE.

TO THE ORIGINAL MEDICATION OF RESPERIDONE 1,50 GRAMS AND CLONAZEPAM .25 THEY HAVE ADDED RESPEIDONE .25 MORNING TIME. I ALWAYS SCRAPE A LITTLE BIT OFF FOR A SMALLER DOSAGE.

I HAVE BEEN CUTTING THE CLONAZEPAM TO HALF OF .25 FOR THE PAST TWO WEEKS BECAUSE OF THE DANGERS I HAVE READ ABOUT IT AND HOW ADDICTIVE IT IS. I HAVE NOT TOLD THE PSYCHIATRIST I DID THIS BECAUSE SHE DOES NOT AGREE. I WOULD LIKE TO REMOVE THIS STUFF ALL TOGETHER IF POSSIBLE. HE HAS LOST A LOT OF HIS ABILITY TO REMEMBER EVENTS.(MEMORY) HE HAS BEEN DOING WELL, BUT IS VERY DISTANT, STIFF WHEN HE WALKS, GASSES, UNABLE TO ATTEND SCHOOL A LITTLE OVER 2 MONTHS SINCE THIS TOOK PLACE.(ALTHOUGH HE HAS GONE A FEW TIMES) TRIES TO STUDY BECAUSE HE DOES NOT WANT TO LOOSE HIS SCHOOL YEAR BUT IS NOT ABLE TO CONCENTRATE A BIT LESS THAT HALF AN HOUR. NOT ABLE TO RESOLVE SMALL ISSUES AND GETS FRUSTRATED AND SHOWS BAD TEMPER WHEN THIS HAPPENS. (DISORGANIZED) CANT GET HIM UP IN THE MORNING, HE SLEEPS ABOUT 12 TO 14 HOURS. HE IS NOT SEEING THE FRIENDS THAT PROVIDED HIM WITH DRUGS.I SEE HIM TRYING TO MAKE GET BACK TO HIS GOOD OLD FRIENDS FROM SCHOOL IN FACEBOOK. BUT ALSO HE IS EXTREMELLY ALONE SINCE THIS HAPPENS. I DO NOT LET HIM OUT OF MY SIGHT NEITHER CAN HE TAKE CARE OF HIMSELF.MENTIONS HE IS VERY ALONE AND I AM WORRIED ABOUT THIS BECAUSE HE IS A YOUNG MAN WHO DOES NOT ATTEND SCHOOL OR HAVE FRIENDS. HE USED TO BE AND A STUDENT.I AM AFRAID OF DEPRESSION SETTING IN. MY ENTIRE FAMILY IS VERY SUPPORTIVE, EXCEPT HIS DAD HAS NEVER BEEN AROUNG AND THAT HAS CAUSED HIM LOTS OF PAIN. HE DOES ACT OUT ANGER A BIT AT TIMES. BANGING DRAWERS OR CURSING MOSTLY WHEN HE GETS DRESSED IN THE MORNING. I AM TRYING TO DESCRIBE EVERYTHING SO YOU GET A PICTURE.
CAN I START GIVNG HIM THE 5-HTP TRYOTPHANE? ON EARTH CLINIC I READ OF MANY SIDE EFFECTS. IS HE TO YOUNG?

WHAT ABOUT THE GABA?

THIS I MEAN TO REPLACE THE CLONAZEPAM. IF I DO, DO I DISCOUNTINUED THE CLONAZEPAM ALL TOGETHER AT ONCE SINCE HE IS ON SUCH A SMALL AMOUNT RIGHT NOW?

HIS PSYCHIATRIST MENTIONED THIS WEEK ON THE PHONE THAT SHE IS GOING TO CHANGE THE RESPERIDON TO SOMETHING ELSE WHEN SHE SEES HIM TODAY BECAUSE THE MEDICINE IS NOT RIGHT. SHE MENTIONED SHE IS GOING TO GIVE HIM SOMETHING FOR ADDICTION. LAST NIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THIS HAPPENED HE COULD NOT SLEEP. I STAYED IN HIS ROOM TILL HE FELL ASLEEP BUT IT TOOK HIM ABOUT AN HOUR AFTER I GAVE HIM CALM TEA. HE WAS VERY ANXIOUS AND NERVOUS. SAID HE HAD BAD THOUGHTS ABOUT WHO HE IS NOW AND WHAT HAPPEND TO HIS BRAIN AND SAYED SOMETHING ABOUT FRIENDSHIP BUT WOULD NOT SPECIFIED. HE SAID THE OLD THOUGHTS WHEN ALL THIS HAPPENED IS REPEATING. HE KEPT TOSSING. HE ALSO SAYS HE FEELS A COLD COMING ON. HE IS SNEEZING.
FOR THE PAST FOUR DAYS I HAVE BEEN GIVING HIM THE NIACIN 640 MG EVERY FOUR HOURS, MIXED IN FOOD. FOR A TOTAL OF 3 GRAMS WITH THE 1000 C, FISH OIL. AND A 100 B VITAMIN ONCE A DAY. TRYING TO SLOWLY INCREASE BUT I GET SOME RESISTANCE FROM HIS PART.

SHOULD I BE ADDING CERTAIN FOODS? I WANT TO MENTION HE IS HEAVY CRAVER AND EATER OF SUGAR.IS HARD TO KEEP HIM AWAY FROM IT. ALSO SINCE THIS HAPPEND HIS LITTLE BIT OF ACNE FLARED UP FROM ONE DAY TO THE OTHER. I WAS SURPRISE TO SEE HOW BAD IT GOT ON HIS CHEEKS. DOES THIS MEAN ANYTHING? ALSO HE IS SMOKING CIGARRETES A LOT. MY HEART GOES OUT TO HIM.THIS IS AWFULL. HER IS MY LIST. PLEASE LEAD ME ON HOW TO ADMINISTER PROPERLY AND WHAT I SHOULD WATCH FOR.

IN ADDITION TO THE SUPPLEMENTS I LIST ON MY FIRST LETTER ,(LOOK MUCH LOWER FOR COPY) I ADDED THESE THAT I BOUGHT RECENTLY. I LIST EVERYTHING BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO SUPPLEMENT HIM AT ALL. I AM NEW, VERY NEW WITH VITAMINS AND I AM AFRAID TO HURT HIS LIVER OR YOUNG BODY, HEARD A YOUNG MAN TOOK LOTS OF NIACIN AND HIS LIVER SHUT DOWN AND IT MAKES ME INSECURE TO GO AT THIS ALONE. PLEASE GUIDE ME STEP BY STEP. HOW MUCH, WITH MEALS, OR NOT WITH MEALS. HOW MANY DAYS TO STOP IF ANY. I HIDE THE NIACIN IN HIS FOOD BECAUSE HE IS NOT HAPPY ABOUT TAKING SO MANY PILLS. HE SAYS HIS TUMMY BURNS. a spect of his brain was ordered and i have the results to take to the dr. today.

THIS IS A TOTAL OF SUPPLEMENT, I CAN ORDER MORE OR ADD ANYTHING YOU ASK FROM THE STATES, BUT IT WILL TAKE ABOUT 10 DAYS TO GET.

This doesn't sound like your typical behavioral problem for any known psychological probelms. Has your son on drug use, such as cocaine, marijuana, heroine especially long term use bought on by that. In that case he must go through the typical detoxification is best. You have to acquire thunbergia laurifolia and milk thistle to detox first. You can get him somewhat off addiction and behavior problems with tyrosine, the dosage varies depending on scale of behavioral problems related to addictive behavior, such as 500 mg 8 times a day to 2000 mg 8 times a day. Also why are you using 5-HTP, it doesn't sound appropriate to use this and there other things that does not make sense, such as niacin. I don't use niacin at all, in all my postings. I used B3 niacinamide 500 mg at 6 to eight times a day. There is nothing wrong with remedies that are complicated, but you are on wrong supplements, such as B6 and B100. B6 if he has severe loss of appetite yes, but B100 is too much even for an adult. Fish oil is appropriate if he has seizures and some sign of emotional disturbances, but there is limits what the oils he can process. I usually recommend them once or twice a week, and also for extreme weight loss, which is not apparent. I suggest keeping your remedies simple and stick to basics and add them one a time. The supplements listed here is to deal with addiction, obviously it was bought on with that. Then we do that basics for a month at which he should improve. Another supplements good for addiction is ibrogaine, but not anywhere the dosages recommended by the internet, it is like 10 to 100 mcg. WITH the magnesium and taken 3 times a day. Magnesium chloride is a solution for where magnesium chloride is 60-70% and water. It is taken at least 8 drops on an empty stomach 3 times a day. ibrogaine causes magnesium deficiency, and magnesium is first line of treatment also. If you must use B100 I would probably recommend once a week only.

So please stick to a very simple plan first.

I am very thankful to the Lord that I am in touch with you finally. Now I have hopes he will recuperate!!!! all the supplements I got was of desperation from someone who was telling me what to buy that answered one of the so many letters i sent after I did not hear from you. I am not giving him the 5htp, I just bought it and never used it. Something told me not too. I also have some niacinamide 550 from solgar in hand. only 36 pills left.How should I give him the few that I have until i get more? I can get more in about 10 days. This person had told me to use niacin instead because niacinamide could cause liver to shut.

i have been using NIACIN 3 to 4 pills a day for 3 weeks now along with the c and one fish oil a day. i used little of the b vitamins and will suspend right away. lots of wrong information and my desperation. Not a good mix

I will order NIACINAMIDE, will order 500 MG instead of 550. How many bottles should I buy for two months supply? 500 6 times a day will be the dosage (after you confirm final decision)

I will also get the Lysine in powder form. Will one bottle be enough? for the two days you mentioned.

It seems I have only one vitamin he can use. vitamin C. should I keep giving him 4 pills a dya of 1000 mg even though I have none of the other vitamins, except those few niacinamide.?
I can also start giving him magnesium cloride, * drops 3 time a day , empty stomach, that I have now.

Should I order the ibrogaine for the desire he has from time to time.? how much?
I will place an order as soon as we agree on what I should buy. Please have me order everything I will need for the next two months for is not place this orders overseas. and they take time to arrive.

My son had what I believe is an honest conversation for his well being and healing. He said he started smoking marihuana at 14. (it sounds about right) progressively consuming more within a year, He explains that one year he smoked sometimes everyday to every other day. Sometimes inhaling very hard, he did consume sometime beer on weekends along with marihuana. he explains that sometimes he had a mixed alcohol drink but not very often at all. maybe a few times. And that he had a couple of energy drinks with alcohol one night, he tells me he never ever had cocaine, lsd, or any other hard drug and never took pills or extasy. He knows the importance of being honest to this. He is telling the truth. when he used i used to clean out his pockets and never found something else other than cigarettes and marihuana. He did say he feels urge (desire) to smoke marihuana but will not. the psychiatrist says that marihuana is the most dangerous drug there is and that his brain is damaged from the use. I have a spect of his brain that will be seen by her next tuesday because she cannot see us till then.

We talked about his nervousness last night, and he said that he was reflecting on his life and the damage he has done to himself and got anxious imagining that he will not recover. so actually it was not the lower dosage of clonazepam causing side effects, it was him reflecting on his life. He is sleeping to many hours though. His appetite is exagerated. I tend to think is the resperidone. Ted, is late is thailand. I never thought you would answer today. Thank you.

If you have limited supplies, you can try 550 given 2 times a day of niacinamide. Niacin causes liver malfunction because it lowers cholesterol in blood but causes increases in cholesterol to increase in the liver. This is known for a long time, since 1930s, thus causing the so called "liver shut down" by blocking circulation due to cholesterol build up in the liver.

will order NIACINAMIDE, will order 500 MG instead of 550. How many bottles should I buy for two months supply? 500 6 times a day will be the dosage (after you confirm final decision)

It's approximately 6 times a day B3 niacinamide.

I will also get the Lysine in powder form. Will one bottle be enough? for the two days you mentioned.

No. You need most of the lysine during the first two to three days. Then you will need about 4000 mg divided in four doses the rest of the time. You always need lysine, it is the prime amino acid deficiency in human beings in general and you need twice those recommend by WHO, because you are dealing with people who are sick.

It seems I have only one vitamin he can use. vitamin C. should I keep giving him 4 pills a day of 1000 mg even though I have none of the other vitamins, except those few niacinamide.?

Yes. It works best if the dosages were 500 mg divided from 1000 mg, if he can handle 1000 mg without diarrhea it would be fine too.

I can also start giving him magnesium cloride, * drops 3 time a day , empty stomach, that I have now.

That would be fine.

Should I order the ibrogaine for the desire he has from time to time.? how much?
I will place an order as soon as we agree on what I should buy. Please have me order everything I will need for the next two months for is not place this orders overseas. and they take time to arrive.

I would order first the milk thistle and thunbergia laurifolia (blue trumpet vine). Milk thistle detoxes liver, but thunbergia not only detoxes liver it reduces addiction. It is used in Thailand to treat addiction of alcohol and drugs.

Then I might include ibrogaine after he has a couple of days' of magnesium. The ibrogaine is given very tiny dosages, such as 1 to 100 mcg, with mean of 50 mcg. It raises the spirits and alertness (energy brain level). This is secondary, after that two.

Tyrosine cannot be forgotten, it is the main remedy in reducing addiction and reduces dependency on drugs. The dosages varies depending on level of addiction, but a reasonable dose is between 500 mg to 2000 mg. I would likely start at 500 mg and go from there, ideally is given three times to four times a day, but will reduce dosage if he gets better.

His appetite is exagerated. I tend to think is the resperidone.

I think part of the reason is he also taking B100, the B6 tend of exaggerate appetite. Respidol tend to make a person sleepy.

If your money is tight there is a way around it. Take Lugol's solution 5 drops x 6 times a day for 10 or 20 days. If you have some money left over, some progesterone cream and aloe vera. Then if you have some money left DMSO. And most important of all, is to get your blood sugar below 90, 100 is acceptable, but I always have problem if its over that. Drink carrot juice freshly squeezed 3 times a day. Cancer don't cost a lot if you look at the main things. In alternative medicine 3 things are treatable, liver cancer, breast cancer and cervical cancer. Liver cancer just requires a lot more supplements!

05/22/2010: Anonymous replies: "Dear Ted, I made copies of your two answers so I can read it calmly. Keep VERY SIMPLE PLAN FIRST.

i will order the supplements you suggest. Thunbergia lauforia tyrosine for he does get a bit angry at times. I do not think his behavior is so off that I will need high dosages of 2000 mg because his bad moods are short spurts of anger. I will order ibrogaine. And the powder form of lysine and threonine. I understand this is all i need.

there is confusion naming niacin and b3 niacinamide over the internet. so, I am most sure this man meant his best when he said niacin, I have suspended niacin completely and will start the niacinamide instead right away. I understand clearly now is 500 mg 6 times a day. along with vitamin c 1000 mg. with foods. and 8 drops of magnesium chloride solution on an empty stomach 3 times per day. a total of three supplements for now.

No more b vitamins. no more fish oil."


05/22/2011: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Yes. Tyrosine does make you angry. You see people have mood swings. Now the mood can swing from one of angry to one of depression. It is the depression that tyrosine deals with when he is in that swing.
