@CrumblingCookie that is a huge dose of folate.

@Ecstatic_Hamster before you know it the experimenters will have engineered a complete beef liver from synthetics for maximum scientific health

Mind-bogglingly huge!
From what I could read, neuropsychiatric improvements from restoring cerebral folate sufficiency is a veeeeeery slow and a gradual process.
In other cases where 15mg folic acid daily was used, improvements only became evident 9 months later. With further, significant improvements 18 months later. And things still improving 39 months later.
And many of those reported cases really weren't attributable to genetics but were all secondary due to long-standing "innocuous" conditions like poor diet, alcoholism, hepatic diseases.
Crazy.For me, that's really essential to know that a finding of low serum folate does not become resolved after a few weeks of supplementation and a good follow-up serum folate lab. I've had some low serum levels stretched over several years in the past. Which I wrongly considered over and sufficiently dealt with.
The 3x 1mg folate makes me feel more sleepy - similiar to when I started (or raised) the glucose servings except now it's only in the mornings up to the early afternoons and not all day. Apart from that I notice no drawbacks.
Whereas without P5P and glucose I remember very well that any large amount of folate made me feel weirded-out and uncomfortably light-headed.Overall, this fosters my suspected trajectory: That taking dextrose by itself is not enough to fix everything but that it is a crucial element to regeneration and also demands reevaluation of previously tried measures and supplements to finally unfurl their eluded benefits.

Has Dr. Stevens treated anyone with severe autism? A family member of mine is 31, severely autistic, non verbal and sometimes bangs his head, necessitating a helmet at times. He is extremely sensitive to many things, his mother has given up on any detox, the reactions to even some B vitamins can be extreme. I haven't read Dr. Stevens book, but am wondering if glucose could help someone like him or if it could trigger too much detox. He is having trouble walking at this point and his mother is losing hope.

@Sippy I don't know. But I would probably try it. Dr. Stephens may actually reinforce this, who knows, because he has used it apparently with people who had all sorts of brain issues. He really points to all problems as originating in the brain, resulting in hyperglycolysis, resulting in throttling of glucose, resulting in...all sorts of mental illness and issues. So yeah. Yeah. And I can't see how it would cause harm.

It's definitely worth a try.

Short answer: Yes, i think it can be helpful.Longer musing: I think people who are neurodivergent and already have issues with neurotransmitters are at higher risk for trouble with the Itaconate shunt, because it causes the GABA shunt, which leads to neurotransmitters being used for ATP instead of what they're supposed to be used for.
There's also a strange phenomenon with autism where people have seen symptoms disappear when they have a fever. If symptoms disappear when the Itaconate shunt is not actived (the fever may indicate the adaptive immune system is activated), maybe debilitating autism is "just" another manifestation (one of many) of the Itaconate shunt (the innate immune system not letting the adaptive immune system do it's job).
(Edit: Actually not sure that a fever may indicate the adaptive immune system is activated; I just very rarely have a fever since my Itaconate shunt issues started - and on the rare occasion I have a fever I've experienced certain symptoms get better. Here's an article about the phenomenon: https://news.mit.edu/2024/understanding-why-autism-symptoms-sometimes-improve-amid-fever-0523)
Hope they can find some relief, it sounds challenging.

"developmentally determined" hmm

Maybe Wakefield was right
@sippy have a read of that thread and the blog link. After GPs insight there.
