The page I wrote on DAY.org on Pyroluria (back in 2003or4)...

Here’s an exerpt:

PYROLURIA  (potentially more than 20% of autistics -Pfieffer)

                                                                       (up to 60% potentially per Dr. Woody McGinnis)

 

SYMPTOMS OF PYROLURIA: (general, do not have to have all)

Body: Fatigues easily, thin except heavy waisted,

Brain: Anxious, Depressed, devastated by stress, reading disorders

Ears: Sensitivity to loud noises

Eyes: Light sensitivity

Skin:  generally pale, body tans, face doesn’t

Sleep: more prone to disorders, “night person”, minimal dream recall

Stomach: don’t like to eat breakfast

Males: prone to rages/Females: up & down

 

TREATMENT FOR PYROLURIA: (Must have daily supplement!!!!!)

B6, B6, B6, B6 – (more than 200 mg a day from all combined sources-ask DR.)

Zinc -seek advice from DR but generally at least 30 mg/day- more watch copper

Arachadonic Acid (Cod Liver oil is contra-indicated w/o adding animal fat first)

Glycine plays potential role (HEME) (glycinated minerals will help)

Testing: Kryptopyrole: Urine should be frozen for better test (Pfieffer - $40)

 This diagnosis has an excellent/quick response to daily nutrient treatment.

Great page with symptoms & Labs testing for Kryptopyroles

WorldHealthMall.com - Jim Haszinger:

“Zinc & Selenium is commonly low and in many Copper is elevated. Use Mini-mineral ZINC & SELENIUM because they are in the right form & the right size. By increasing Mini-mineral zinc you may drive high copper down. Many doctors use 1 teaspoon normally, 2 if the copper is high.

ANOTHER SCHOOL OF THOUGHT High toxic copper may indicate the child is copper deficient. Not having the right form of copper may cause individuals to hold on to un-usable toxic copper. When zinc will not drive down the copper, suspect this as the possible reason. In this case you may choose to give the child the correct form and size of copper in small amounts each night and within several months the toxic copper levels may fall.”  -Jim from WHM.com

I am so struck as I write more & more pages for this new site how everything is related to everything else in this simple way!
