Need Help for My daughter again - memory issues

Allicin crosses the blood brain barrier. My wonky cognitive symptoms cleared when I targeted lyme, and also the brain aneurysm repair. It is expensive, but you might want to try Zhang's allicin. /www.hepahealth.com/ctr/web/request.html?_url=L3dlYi9pbmRleC5qc3A%3D
I'd highly recommend consulting with an herbalist too. You need support chicka!

How did you find out the emf sensiticities rowing mom? And whats ana? So glad shes better!!! And sorry im new here so i hadnt seen your posts before

I wish I had some answers for you Chap but all I can do is tell you what I would look into. I don't know much about your daughter concerning her symptoms other than memory issues after being ill. The 1st thing that comes to mind with memory issues in a young female is a calmodulin influence on neuronal action potentials. This could be occurring from several conditions but the first thing I would rule out is absence seizures. At her age with increasing hormones, her seizure threshold will be dropping and that could be influencing her ability to stay focused. I would examine her diet for either excessive sodium or too little sodium which could be a factor. A sleep deprived EEG would be a good test if you choose to explore the epilepsy possibility. Calcium levels play a huge role if this is the case.

If memory is her only symptom, I'd look into the possibility of metal toxicity. Aluminum toxicity is really bad these days and it comes from what we eat. As farm land has been farmed for many decades, the nutrient levels decrease and the plants absorb aluminum because the soil is deficient of the other polyvalent cations they want to absorb. The higher the pH, the less aluminum the plant absorbs. It costs the farmer more to raise the pH so most farmers want to grow on the lowest pH that gives the most yield. Aluminum levels and candida seem to coincide with each other.

As far as strep is concerned, there are numerous species of strep in our body and they are not all the same. Many are non-pathogenic in the GI tract but others are problems elsewhere. Some Streptococcus strains in the GI tract make thiostrepton which is a thiopeptide that acts to inhibit protozoal growth. It is believed that it has effects on all apicomplexan protists. If strep levels were high in the GI tract, I would explore the possibility of a protozoan. The same can be said for Bacillus and Micrococcus bacteria in the GI tract.

I just don't have much info on her to know which direction to go.

Thank you GH. I have a feeling that chelation has been a big part in our healing. We also use BioSil (orthosilicic acid) daily which Klinghardt uses to chelate aluminum.

My aluminum levels went from mid-high range to not showing anything in 1 1/2 years. I do biosil occasionally in smoothies and drink FIJI water (silica) daily during the same time frame. Either or both really do work to pull aluminum out. My memory has gotten about 50% better. Still have some issues though. Giving both to kids too.

wow, this thread is loaded with info! thanks to all who have been contributing!

I can't write much now, but will respond appropriately on Monday when everyone is back at work and school and the house is quiet! LOL

georgia - sorry I expected you to answer my question without really telling you more about my daughter!! I will tell you exactly what happened with her when she got lyme and how she was prior to that on monday to see if you have any other insight, but what you have written thus far is helpful already, thank you!

Hi Chapelle,

So sorry your daughter is having these problems. Many I know who suffered from memory problems found out the cause was the neurotoxin ammonia. Get the ammonia out of your daughter's brain and body and she may improve. Of course I'm not a doctor so I can't say for certain, I'm only going by the people I have known who suffered from the same problem including myself and found the cause.

Personally the only supplement I know of that binds up ammonia in the brain and body is Dr. J' NeuroAntitox supplements because that's what I used which helped me and crosses the BB barrier.

Note: I'm not endorsing Dr. J's supplements just trying to help.

Good luck!
Denise

My LLMD did the same to me. I actually respect the doctor for recognizing that allopathic medicine had done all it could for me and he knew herbs were the next step.

My LLMD is an MD - not an herbalist.

There are some LLMD's who are also trained in herbs. However, it's hard enough to find a good LLMD let alone one with the additional training and experience of treating with herbs.
