Common medications with anti-inflammatory properties are not potent enough to change the clinical course of a child’s recovery. Starting them will not speed up or improve recovery, and stopping them will not slow or stop recovery or trigger a regression.
The chronic use of antacids known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) may contribute to a relapse of bacterial overgrowth. The flow of stomach acid into the small intestine is an important barrier to the overgrowth of bacteria within the small intestine. PPI antacids result in a profound reduction of stomach acid production, impairing the acid barrier, thereby allowing the overgrowth of bacteria within the small intestine.n
Autonomic Nervous System – A large portion of the nervous system that regulates blood pressure, coordinates all organs (heart, intestines, bladder, etc.), controls inflammation, and regulates emotions. The ANS can sustain injuries from a wide variety of physical, emotional, and inflammatory insults.
The level of sedation required for common dental procedures is much lighter than that required for surgery, and I think because of this the risk of recurrent SIBO is much less.
In general, anesthesia provided by a skilled professional will not interfere with the pace of recovery on The Nemechek Protocol.
Yes, especially in individuals under 70 years of age. 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.
Unfortunately, The Nemechek Protocol is not potent enough to stop or reverse ALS.
Yes. A mild runny nose, cough, or flair of allergies can cause enough neurological stress to worsen anxiety, hyperactivity, aggression, and stimming. A simple ten-day course of an over-the-counter nasal corticosteroid spray (fluticasone) can improve the symptoms and often lead to improvement. If the child’s symptoms are severe or seem to be worsening in spite of fluticasone, always have your child checked by a physician to make sure the symptoms are not from pneumonia.
Often, food allergies or food intolerant being said, I wouldn’t assume that dangerous allergic reactions such as respiratory distress from peanuts will improve.
I support the general recommendation of the use of oral antihistamines and topical nasal steroids, either alone or combined.
