Can The Nemechek Protocol help with deficiencies in intelligence?

/in /by

Yes. The Nemechek Protocol will help many childhood issues because they all have similar origins, an overgrowth of intestinal bacteria and multiple mechanisms that fuel inflammation.

Is there anything else other than probiotics that can interfere with the protocol?

/in /by

In addition to probiotics, I tell my patients to eliminate digestive enzymes, unnecessary supplements, and foods that advertise themselves as a source of probiotics/supplements. I also advise my patients to limit their consumption of artificial sugars and omega-6 oils such as soy, corn, safflower, and sunflower oils.n

My child was diagnosed with intermittent lichen planus (white patch) on his tongue after starting rifaximin. Can rifaximin cause lichen planus?

/in /by

Although lichen planus is associated with other inflammatory conditions, there is no reported association with the use of rifaximin. I have observed that the reversal of bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) by rifaximin seems to improve immune function. The improved immune function might make lichen planus more visually apparent, but this should not be confused with being the actual cause of lichen planus.nAs you may be aware, lichen planus can sometimes become cancerous, so regular examinations by an oral surgeon are strongly recommended.

How should I deal with an intestinal infection?

When it comes to infections, I always recommend following the advice of the child’s pediatrician or other medical specialists.

My 6 yr old is in NP for 4 months . Have seen awakening in 1/16 inulin and recommended oils but increased inulin 1/8 per chart . Didnt see my much improvement but a lot hyper activeness . Can I decrease the inulin to 1/16 again?

/in /by

If smaller doses are required because of intolerance, any improvement suggests even the smaller dose might be adequate.

Does inulin need to be replaced regularly once opened? I see a lot of people saying that it gets old and needs to be replaced every 3 months. Is that true?

/in /by

I am aware that some people choose to replace inulin every three months, but it is not my recommendation. While inulin may lose its potency over time, I doubt it has lost any potency in just three months.

Can inulin worsen aggression?

/in /by

The aggressive behavior is often from underlying damage to the autonomic nervous system (ANS). When damaged, the ANS is often unable to regulate the proper flow and pressure of blood and oxygen into the brain causing the child to feel unusually anxious, fearful, angry, and aggressive. Occasionally too much inulin seems to worse the blood flow and elevate the aggression. Reducing the dose of inulin will lessen the aggression or anxiety.n

Can garlic produce gas and/or inflammation when we there is sibo?

/in /by

Potentially. Garlic contains inulin and this could possibly cause an increase in gas.

Can a bout of gastroenteritis cause a regression?

/in /by

Any infectious disease can temporarily cause behaviors to worsen. This is typically not a regression but an amplification of aggression, anxiety, or worsening of focus. There is typically no loss of any prior developmental gains; you just might not see the prior gains because these other issues can be so overwhelming for the child.nWithin a few weeks, after the infectious process resolves, the child will recover from the inflammatory injury and return back to their most recent neurological baseline.
