LOW HISTAMINE

This LOW HISTAMINE schizophrenia supplement schedule was developed to improve the quality of life of our family member-referred to as Patient. Once the FTD diagnosis was agreed, the patient was in late stages and soon hospitalized. The only supplement that was to have significant impact on FTD was DHEA in the early stages. THIS is not a recommendation and we make no claims this protocol will work for you. Always check with a qualified Doctor when making changes to your recovery protocols.
100mg L-Carnosine AM - scavenger of oxidative stress (ROS & alpha-beta unsaturated aldehydes), improves processes affected with autisim, found highly concentrated in muscle and brain tissue, quickly metabolizes blood levels of stress produced Cortisol returning levels to normal, too much Carnosine may cause hyperactivity.
100mg R-ALA (RLA) PM - Powerful antioxidant, reverse cognitive dysfunction, increases glutathione, "recycles" other key antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and glutathione, promotes glucose metabolism, proven effective for treating diabetic neuropathy, prevents nerve damage from oxidation.
2mg Melatonin PM-ONLY - counteracts TD, Improves sleep quality of chronic schizophrenia patients, suppresses prolactin release, necessary for SWS-REM sleep, stimulates endorphin production (updated from 1mg 12-9-06)
5mg DHEA AM Androgen occurring naturally in humans and synthesized from cholesterol. 5mg maintenance dose-no higher. Patient responded to larger 50mg dose in the past but then had significant side effects. Goal is to balance or restore normal level. Body does not upregulate its own levels when taken orally, so max total levels should not exceed natural 15 mg in body daily.

|AVOID| 200mg SAM-e (S-adenosylmethionine) Treats Undermethylation, was tested on this Patient and did not respond well, maintains cell membrane structure, substances vital to transmitting nerve impluses that influence mood and emotion
|AVOID| 100mg L-Theanine - inhibits glutamic acid excitotoxicity, promotes GABA production, decreases serotonin and increases dopamine (BAD FOR PATIENT), promotes alpha wave production associated with alert relaxation (non drowsy), improves immune system response by boosting capacity of T cells, crosses blood brain barrier.
