None of the standard therapies for constipation (magnesium products, fiber supplementation, motility agents) will negatively impact the intestinal microbiome nor the balance of bacteria within the small and large intestines.
Even if inulin failure has occurred in the past, adding inulin back into the protocol can help with constipation even while they still are taking rifaximin.
I have treated several children whose neurological problems stemmed from central nervous system infections (encephalitis, meningitis, meningoencephalitis). The majority required therapy with continuous rifaximin as well as vagus nerve stimulation before any significant level of recovery was observed.
Yes. The Nemechek Protocol was originally designed to help adults to recover from brain injuries such as concussions. By lowering inflammation, the protocol helps the brain’s natural repair mechanisms to work more efficiently. If there are any concussion symptoms you are concerned about, always seek the opinion of a physician.
Yes. The Nemechek Protocol for Autonomic Recovery is designed to reduce elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and the presence of abnormally primed M1- microglia. These 2 pathological processes prevent recovery from brain injury, interfere with neuronal/synaptic pruning, interfere with brain development in utero, and are a key feature of the neurodegenerative disorders (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, ALS). It is capable of reversing a wide range of chronic neurological conditions (migraine and cluster headaches, chronic fatigue, generalized anxiety, depression/PTSD, ADD/ADHD) as well as intestinal disorders (heartburn, reflux, IBS, constipation, diarrhea, etc.), and it’s potent anti-inflammatory effect substantially reduces symptoms associated with autoimmune disorders (Crohn’s, psoriasis, MS, rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto’s, etc.)
No, it will not.
Yes, ok to use every day, non-probiotics cold remedies while your child is on the protocol, even if using rifaximin. If you have questions about what cold medication to use, be sure to ask your pharmacist or physician.
Most upper respiratory infections in children are triggered by common viruses they acquire from touching infected objects (tabletops, toys, doors, etc.) and then infecting themselves by touching their mouths or eyes with their contaminated fingers.nnGenerally, the infection is short-lived and resolves within 2-3 days. Occasionally, the viral infection will trigger an accumulation of secretions within the middle ear or sinus, allowing generally harmless bacteria within the mouth to grow out of control and trigger a secondary bacterial infection. Using mucolytics (guaifenesin), decongestants (pseudoephedrine), or anti-inflammatory sprays (fluticasone) during the initial mild virtual infection can often prevent the build-up of secretions and reduce the risk of the secondary bacterial infection and lessen the need for antibiotics.nnAnti-histamines are not appropriate for infections as they do not address the underlying inflammation or congestion and can thicken secretions preventing the necessary drainage required to avoid secondary infections.
Yes. Just make sure it is manufactured by Nemechek Silver, Nordic Naturals or NOW Foods. These are the brands of fish oil that are Nemechek approved.
