That was a great read Dr. Snyder. If you or anyone has any suggestions on how I can help my daughter (14) want to try and stick with treatment to help her pls let me know. I am tired of the tantrums.

Shawn. Thank you for you comment. I wish I could be more helpful here and give specific suggestions or recommendations. Perhaps I will write a more general post in the future about how to engage teens in their treatment. Thank you again for your support of this newsletter.

My son has copper overload. He has pyrrole which causes the imbalance of zinc/copper/b6 and is a undermethalater. He is having bad symptoms with the protocol to lower copper causing him worsening mental symptoms. Would the binders ( charcoal etc) help him detox the copper? His brain reacts to anything example methl b12 causes worsening symptoms.

Hi Tammy - I'm unable to provide treatment recommendations. I don't use charcoal to lower copper, but rather to bind specific mold toxins (it doesn't bind all mold toxins). When people are reacting to a lot of different things, I think about mast cell activation. I can't say that is the case for your son, but if you're not already familiar, here is a link to a blogpost about that - https://www.courtneysnydermd.com/blog/mast-cell-activation-inflammation-in-brain-disorders-how-to-calm-things-down
