In an effort to reduce Omega 6 oil consumption I recommend that my patients cook and prepare foods with either COOC-certified extra virgin olive oil, canola oil, coconut oil, and palm kernel oil. However, as long as you are consuming the approved EVOO at the recommended daily dose it will protect you from the occasional use of other oils and fats used in cooking.
Vegetable shortening contains an unacceptably high amount of omega-6 fatty acids. In an effort to reduce Omega 6 oil consumption I recommend that my patients cook and prepare foods with either COOC-certified extra virgin olive oil, canola oil, coconut oil, and palm kernel oil.
No, it contains too high of a concentration of inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids. While on The Nemechek Protocol®, I recommend patients try to avoid omega-6 fatty acids in cooking oils and foods.
Yes, but it’s not so much the cough as its often the inflammation coming from the underlying mild sinus infection that is causing the the cough.
Honestly, I don’t think anyone understands why episodes such as this occur. As long as the main areas of recovery are improving (communication, socialization, emotional regulation, and hyperactivity), I don’t worry about episodes such as covering the ears or some new stimming behavior because they eventually resolve themselves without any additional intervention.
New behaviors are starting the protocol are from the child being more in touch with their environment and more capable of reacting to it. Focus on getting the main areas to improve and covering the ears will resolve without further intervention.
In both cases, yes it can. The inflammatory surge caused by COVID-19 infection can in some cases cause both inulin failure and well cause children to start to relapse more quickly in spite of monthly rifaximin. nnI’ve seen COVID cause inulin failure requiring the initiation of monthly rifaximin as well as causing monthly rifaximin to fail, necessitating the shift to continuous rifaximin.
When an entire family is experiencing COVID-19 infection, parents commonly say the children on the protocol had far fewer symptoms than other family members.
Although some children have difficulty tolerating the face mask, it is not because they struggle to breathe. Face masks are incredibly safe and will not harm you or your child.
Yes it can. COVID-19 infection can trigger a concussion-like event which can worsen symptoms. After the infectious COVID-19 symptoms have cleared (cough, fever, etc), I will give the child 4-6 weeks to begin recovery again. If by 2-3 months, improvements have not begun, I presume there is inulin failure and move onto rifaximin.
