These nutrients are unsaturated fatty acids and are important for normal metabolism. They are classified as an essential nutrient because humans are unable to synthesize omega-3 fatty acids and require them in their diet in order to remain healthy.
No. Other forms of omega-3 fatty acids, such as flax oil (ALA), do not readily penetrate the central nervous system and do not have the same impact on inflammation or microglia function as DHA.
Omega-3, 6, and 9 fatty acids are not destroyed using common cooking temperatures.
I now recognize that in rare cases inulin can trigger an extreme response and that what was happening was something I now refer to as Inulin Intolerance. In the event of inulin intolerance it is best to just move on to Rifaximin.
The protocol is very effective for children with a diagnosis of mold toxicity without needing any additional treatment for mold issues.n
I do not believe toxicity from mold contributes at all to autism or developmental delay.
No, it will not. Follow your physician’s specific advice on treating this.
Your child may be relapsing well in advance of the next round. As such, it would be advisable to move on to continuous rifaximin to better prevent frequent relapses, which will allow neurological recovery to unfold.
It’s difficult to always explain in particular why some children need more inflammation suppression than others. Each of these steps has an additive effect in reducing inflammation more. In this case, it finally took two doses of VNS per day to make a difference. Sometimes I’ve had to add inulin to twice daily rifaximin or change rifaximin to 3 times a day before significant recovery occurs.
This most likely means that their intestinal bacteria overgrowth is relapsing before starting the next course of rifaximin. I often suggest starting the next round a few days early whenever diarrhea recurs in this fashion.
