Some info on vitiam A
By AWETISM

Vitamin A (retinol and beta-carotene) information page
Vitamin A and carotene can be obtained from either animal or vegetable sources. The animal form is divided between retinol and dehydroretinol whereas the vegetable carotene can be split into four very potent groups - alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, gamma-carotene and crypto-carotene. With enough beta-carotene available in the body, the body can manufacture its own vitamin A.
Vitamin A is required for
Vitamin A is required for night vision, and for a healthy skin. It assists the immune system, and because of its antioxidant properties is great to protect against pollution and cancer formation and other diseases. It also assists your sense of taste as well as helping the digestive and urinary tract and many believe that it helps slow aging.
It is required for development and maintenance of the epithelial cells, in the mucus membranes, and your skin, and is important in the formation of bone and teeth, storage of fat and the synthesis of protein and glycogen.
More info on free radicals.
.
Deficiency of vitamin A
A deficiency of vitamin A may lead to eye problems with dryness of the conjunctiva and cornea, dry skin and hair, night blindness as well as poor growth.
Dry itchy eyes that tire easily are normally a warning of too little vitamin A. If the deficiency become severe, the cornea can ulcerate and permanent blindness can follow.
Abscesses forming in the ear, sinusitis, frequent cold and respiratory infections as well as skin disorders, such as acne, boils and a bumpy skin, as well as weight loss might be indicative of the vitamin being in short supply.
Insomnia, fatigue and reproductive difficulties may also be indicative of the vitamin in short supply. Your hair and scalp can also become dry with a deficiency, especially if protein is also lacking.
Dosage
The dosage underneath is the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA), but be aware that this dosage is the minimum that you require per day, to ward off serious deficiency of this particular nutrient. In the therapeutic use of this nutrient, the dosage is usually increased considerably, but the toxicity level must be kept in mind.
Male 5,000 IU per day (1,000 µg equivalent), female 4,000 IU per day (800 µg retinol equivalent), although 10,000 IU per day is normally used in supplementation.
Toxicity and symptoms of high intake
Dosages exceeding 15,000 IU per day must be taken under medical supervision. Toxicity can appear in some individuals at relatively low dosages and the symptoms may include nausea, dizziness, menstrual problems, skin changes and dryness, itchiness, irritability, vomiting, headaches and long term use can cause hair loss, bone and muscle pain, headache, liver damage, and an increase in blood lipid concentrations.
Pregnant women must be careful as a high intake of this vitamin can cause birth defects.
Pro-vitamin A - beta-carotene does not cause toxicity.
Be careful if you in the unlikely event run across polar bear on a menu - 500 gram (about ½ a pound) of polar bear liver will deliver about 9,000,000 IU to your diet - a very lethal dose. Headaches, blurred vision, loss of hair, drowsiness and diarrhea, enlargement of the spleen and liver can all be indications when your intake is too high.
Best used with
Take vitamin A with B group vitamins, vitamins C, D and E, choline, essential fatty acids together with calcium, phosphorus and zinc for the best results.
When more may be required
More of this vitamin is required when you consume alcohol, on a low-fat diet, or a diet high in polyunsaturated fatty acids, if you smoke or live in a polluted area. It may also be indicated if you suffer from diabetes or have an under-active thyroid gland. Be careful of vitamin A in pregnancy.
Enemy of vitamin A
Retinol is destroyed by light, high temperatures as well as when using copper or iron cooking utensils. Beta-carotene rich vegetables and fruit must not be soaked in water for long periods, since the nutrients can be lost like that.
Other interesting points
There seems to be no toxicity when ingesting large amounts of beta-carotene - you might however have a slightly orange colored skin, as the carotene gets stored in your skin.
Food sources of vitamin A
Liver, milk, egg-yolk, carrots, dark green leafy vegetables and yellow fruits are high in vitamin A or beta-carotene.

They said you can view the slides at www.stillpointhealth.com and you can order a copy for $15. He also mentioned a new webpage
www.AutismActionPlan.com and email AutismActionPlanInfo@GetResponse.com
Ok he reviewed last months notes and started this one with over abundance of synapse that are slowly removed in the first few years of life the pruning effect. Cytokines and glutatmate levels help the pruning process and methylation. If anything disrupts this process i.e. toxins it can impact brain development.
Astroglia & Microglia=the blood brain barrier. Astorglia supports the brain, nutrient support and repairs & scarring. Microglia is 20% of glial cells in the brain. They initiate the inflammatory response and can be chronically activated & never turn off. Which is self perpetuating neurotoxicity with multi triggers i.e. strep, viruses, casein-gluten, mercury, vaccines.
At birth children have an incomplete immune system. If a child remains in the Th2 position they are at risk for allergies, asthma etc. Vaccines can trigger immune suppressive effect leading to a Th2 skewed immune response.
Viruses (latin means toxin) infectious agent, can't reproduce without a host. Each virus contains genetic material DNA & RNA protected by a protein called capsid. Some viruses have an envelope, non-envelope viruses are more difficult to irradicate. They infect cells and replicate. Viral evasion is when a virus hides from the immune system. Neurotropic effect, latent infections, they lie dormant within the cell, it can reactivate and the host cell can be destroyed in the process. It can be a mechanism for cancer development.
Herpes viruses
HV1=coldsores
HV2=genital herpes
HV3=chicken pox
HV4=Epstein barr virus
HV5=Cytomeglovirus
HV6=Roseola or Sixth's disease
HV7=Kaposis sarcoma
The HV4 Cytomeglovirus is the most common virus transfered to infant during childbirth. It is spread thru urine, blood, saliva, tears, semen and breastmilk. It can cause infections such as mono and hepatitis. Most people are asymptomatic and it can be activated during pregnancy. Many women have no symptoms but can pass to fetus. Congenital cytomegalovirus infection is the second leading cause of mental retardation second to Down Syndrome. It has been linked to early infantile autism, low birth weight, microcephaly, seizures, hearing impairment, retardation, and coordination problems.
NeuroImmunology Panel
Viral Panel, Myelin Basic Protein, Neurofilament, Blood Brain Barrier protein.
Viral Panel
Cytomegalovirus, Epstein Barr virus, Herpes 1 &2, Hhv6-roseola, Hhv7-chickenpox and rubeola
Natural Killer cells, myelin, neurofilament antibodies and BBB.
PPP-IV antibodies, strep, fibrillarin antibodies correlated with mercury toxicity, glutamate, glycine and more.
Promoting normal immunity
Reducing intestinal inflammation, autistic enterocolitis, food reactions and eradicating pathogens.
Tranfer factor
usefullness=immune modulator not stimulator. Start low and slow and buildup. Side effects can be fever congestion and fatigue. If severely immune compromised of high viral load.
www.researchnutritionals.com
1-800-755-3402
Multi-immune and multi-immune mushroom free take 1-2 caps 30 min. before breakfast or bedtime, on empty stomach or mixed with a little food or juice if needed.
Low does Naltrexone (also good for Multiple sclerosis) Immune modulator
www.lowdosenaltrexone.org
opiate blocker at high doses but at low doses has immune mod. effect. It is not a specific anti-viral agent. It come in a capsule or cream take at night, helps boost the immune system, better mood, improved language, socialization and cognition.
Vitamin A protocol
deficiency affects 140-250 million children world wide. The measles virus depletes vitamin A
200,000 i.u. vit. A helps measles infection. If your child had a known measles vaccine reaction they would most likely benefit from the Vitamin A protocol.
up to 35 lbs give 200,000 i.u
over 35 lbs 400,000 i.u.
two day in a row once every six months. Maintenance dose of 10,000 i.u-25,000i.u average 20,000 i.u.
www.nbnus.com
Antiviral drugs
Acyclovir-prophylaxis, herpes cold sores. In some instances used to treat encephalitis and shingles.
Valacyclovir=Valtrex
limited activity against Epstein Barr virus or Cytomeglovirus. Has been shown to reduce Epstein Barr. Wash blue coating off before taking it contains metals.
Valcyte specific for Cytomegalovirus and Roseola or Sixth's disease.
Valtrex is a know inhibitor to Roseola reactivation.
Famvir used to treat shingles and genital herpes.
www.recoveryvideos.com
Valtrex 250-500mg, 2-3 times day.
Some regression /agitation usually occurs about 3 weeks into treatment, fever and running nose, chicken pox/roseola rash common. Valtrex helps methylation. During the first 50 days you may see fevers, pox, non-itchy rash, stool changes, other healing/regression symptoms. It is not always easy to watch your child go thru this but it is part of the healing process.
Anti-fungal
Will usually have yeast flair while on Valtrex. Diflucan 3mg is usually successful. At least 6-8 weeks, may see regression. May need long term therapy 3-6 months.
Options, Nizoral.
Viral testing is not always neccessary. Viral markers do not always show up on testing.
Natural remedies.
Monolarrin capsules
lauricidin pellets (do not taste good)
olive leaf extract
oil of oregano
virastop
elderberry extract-Sambucal syrup or tables (great to prevent flu)
New beginnings
www.LarreaRX.com
www.bio-genesis.com
You can combine anti-viral therapy
called pulsing
Valtrex/natural
5days Valtrex/2day natural
3days Valtrex/1day natural
or others
May need liver function test if on anti-virals for long term but so far Doc has only seen very slightly elevation in liver function, nothing to worry about, but good practice to check.
