I would like to join the group researching treatments for KPU. My 20 yr old autistic son with episodic anger and possibly lyme is now in a psychiatric hospital being treated with pschotropic drugs. We are still doing alternative medicine so there is room for KPU treatment. Can someone let me know if the protocol for treatment using nutrient supplementation works? Are you following Dr. Klinghardt treatment? He is also on specialized diets for autism. Thank you kindly.
My email is fransel.aquino@international.gc.ca or fransel_aquino@yahoo.com

Asking whether this protocol will work or not is about the same as asking if prozac will work. We don't know. Trial and error. That's because every patient is different in terms of biology and pathology. Say for example lyme patients....10 patients can all have widely varying presentations and each of those 10 respond to something different than the others.
In other words, in my journeys anyway, each patient requires a custom made treatment, not a general blanket treatment.
That said, the more trial and error of new approaches is good, because during that process things are discovered that are helpful, and things that are not helpful even though the internet said they should be helpful. Some good discoveries can be made on a personal basis that you didn't see anywhere on the net.
A guy last night was trying to sell me on this pill from GNC that has a bunch of ingredients aimed at anti aging. He said it works great for everyone. I looked at the ingredient list and told him it would make me worse not better and that got him defensive and trying to sell me even harder. Then I explained why. The ingredient list had some glucosamine in it, which I have tried several times over the years. Maybe it is a good supplement for a lot of people, but I happen to be allergic or have bad reactions to shellfish, and glucosamine is made out of shellfish. The entire pill, for my use, is totally useless because of all the ingredients in it which looked pretty good, the fact that glucosamine was in it was a deal breaker.
Medical treatment is not science, it is art. It is experimentation. It is trial and error. There is not single approach that works well for everyone, even if they have the exact same condition and symptoms.
That's why they call it "practicing medicine".
Honestly, I think we as patients do a better more efficient job of practicing medicine on our own time that doctors do. We are more open minded, we have more time to research, we have access to the exact same information they do, and we know our own bodies and selves better than they do.
It's a different journey for every one of us. I think the most important thing is.....try stuff, research stuff, discover for oneself what helps best and what doesn't.
In a broader sense, I am of the belief that a great many diseases of psychiatric nature and physical nature can be minimized as much as possible and even brought to remission by focusing treatment on these 4 categories...
1) Anti inflammation.
2) Anti microbial.
3) Anti toxins.
4) Nutrients.As a final note, Klinghardt has a lot of good ideas worth trying.

Have you tried any Shaklee? I feel their brand is superior. I went off it years ago. But think I should get back on them. I feel you should do whatever you need to do to help your Son. Autism has so many forms. And to combine it with lymes must be very confusing. At age 20 it also must be challenging to care for him. I do wish you luck. Phillipa

I've read some good things about Dr. Klinghardt. Another thing that might help your son's autism and Lyme is LDN (low dose naltrexone). Earthing might also help these two conditions.

I can imagine a young man of that age could feel intensely frustrated and disappointed at times.
I came across Dr Kilinghardt (I think) when reading about heavy metal chelation (I have mercury). was there emphasis on probiotics and stuff like that?
What do you think of the specialised diets? Worth it?
