I am wondering if the protocol helps those who are Celiac? I know that it does not cure it, but can it be beneficial?
/in /by Dr. NThe protocol can help those with Celiac Disease in a few ways. First, studies have shown that many individuals with Celiac Disease also have overlapping bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) contributing to their symptoms. The rifaximin and inulin used to balance bacteria in the protocol can help reverse these symptoms. Second, the protocol, especially when combined with vagus nerve stimulation, can dramatically reduce intestinal and systemic inflammation, potentially allowing certain autoimmune disorders to shift into remission.

How do I know when to change doses?
/in /by Dr. NOther than increasing the fish oil and olive oil doses every year or 2 as the child ages, altering or reducing the doses of individual components of the protocol often leads to confusion and may even reduce the protocol’s effectiveness if mistakes are made. Once you have determined your dose of inulin, the inulin dose does not increase as the child ages. You stick with this inulin dose until it is no longer effective, at that point, you switch to Rifaximin.
How does the protocol differ from chelation and is one better than the other?
/in /by Dr. NThe Nemechek Protocol works by allowing the brain to shift back into repair mode, enabling it to repair itself. The protocol reduces inflammation by balancing the gut bacteria with inulin or rifaximin, fish oil, and olive oil. Scientists now understand that inflammation is the catalyst behind most medical issues and developmental delays prevalent in our modern world.nnChelation assumes that heavy metals and toxicity are the core issue. Therefore, the focus is on detoxification, which often requires many supplements and very rigid dosing schedules. It does nothing to address SIBO or inflammation, and thus I am not convinced it can bring about proper neurological recovery.
Can I change to chicory root inulin?
/in /by Dr. NYes, it should work just as well as agave inulin.
