People with NF1 get a 75% or so discount. I used the tincture liquid and was suggested about 5ml a day. It is the CAPE substance that is likely to be the effective part. I wonder why people do not just buy CAPE itself and save a lot of money.Peter Lloyd-Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10173383229834614994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-655962722302095847.post-16045712203103151812019-08-23T19:11:23.957+02:002019-08-23T19:11:23.957+02:00I am think of trial of Propolis for my daughter wi...I am think of trial of Propolis for my daughter with autism.<br /><br />Anyone try Bio100<br />https://www.manukahealth.co.nz/en-au/shop/product/bio100-new-zealand-propolis-capsules/<br /><br />let alone this<br />https://www.nz-online-pharmacy.com/products/manuka-south-propolis-extra-strength-2000mg-softgel-capsules-365.html<br /><br />Thanks<br />Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17107400352007681852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-655962722302095847.post-90582136646342858732016-08-01T19:50:22.927+02:002016-08-01T19:50:22.927+02:00Thanks in favor of sharing such a fastidious idea,...Thanks in favor of sharing such a fastidious idea, piece of writing is nice, thats why i have read it…<br /><br /><a href="http://www.florencepropolis.healthcare/" rel="nofollow">baby care</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01645611689420297497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-655962722302095847.post-49743750988667045792015-10-20T20:26:01.954+02:002015-10-20T20:26:01.954+02:00You can buy Daiso 3mg Japanese Propolis at eBay ch...You can buy Daiso 3mg Japanese Propolis at eBay cheaply.

Affinitor can help reduce tubers but if you had to stop taking it for some reason, the tubers grow. Matt has tubers in his brain and in the brain ventricles where the fluid flows so we are leery to start a drug that could make his tubers grow if he stopped taking the drug. Matt's tubers are not growing and have remained the same size for years. Affinitor has adverse side efffects as well. It also is very, very expensive. <br /><br />Your post prompted me to actually count how many drops of propolis I give Matt....it's 17 drops 3x a day. It can't hurt him and it may help....just like the coconut oil helped his digestion, when not one doctor, even an NYU doctor, ever suggested it. Thanks for helping and taking the time to answer :) I will start to look at your older posts...been busy lately. Good luck!!

My understanding is that the dosage ...Thanks Evie.<br /><br />My understanding is that the dosage of this propolis needs to be quite high to get the PAK-1 inhibiting effect.<br /><br />Since it is not cheap, most people will likely give a lower dosage.<br /><br />In our case when I give 20 drops twice a day there does seem to be a cognitive gain, but nothing dramatic.<br /><br />One reader gives 10 drops three times a day and is convinced there is a cognitive boost.<br /><br />There are so many other factors that can make autism worse, the biggest gain seems to be to reduce those. I suppose in some kids those negative issues may not exist and then the anti-PAK1 effect may be more pronounced.<br /><br />The people with NF-1 tumors, as opposed to tubers, are using much larger amounts of propolis.<br /><br />Since your son has TSC, inhibiting mTOR would be well worth discussing with your neurologist. This was the subject of my recent post and the subject of two ongoing clinical trials regarding TSC.Peter Lloyd-Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10173383229834614994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-655962722302095847.post-82924709570806255282015-06-16T22:13:04.507+02:002015-06-16T22:13:04.507+02:00Matt's been seizure free since his brain surge...Matt's been seizure free since his brain surgery 9 years ago. This past October he started with a new seizure probably due to puberty/hormonal changes. About a month ago our neurologist started Matt on Lamictal and at the same time we started giving Matt propolis....not a good plan to start two things at the same time but we did and his seizures are becoming much less frequent. Like you said above, it is difficult to see improvement in the autism when other things are involved (like seizures). Again, we will be using the propolis for a good while to see if it helps.<br /><br />His facial angiofibromas seem a bit improved but I can't honestly say for sure that they are improved...we are still working on it though. I mix a few drops of the propolis in a bit of coconut oil and apply it to Matt's angiofibromas on his face. <br /><br />Today we increased the amount of propolis we give Matt internally. As of today, I am giving him a capsule full 3x a day. <br /><br />Matt will get his yearly brain MRI in September and we'll see if there is an improvement with the tubers in his brain..... I will keep you posted as we continue on the propolis. <br /><br />I have attached some links that you may not have seen that might be of interest: http://www.manukaonline.com/propolis-BIO-30-manuka-honey-benefits.html; http://www.ddtjournal.com/getabstract.php?id=482<br /><br />P.S.

We are from NY and buy our propolis from New Zealand. We are using it to help possibly shrink tubers (benign tumors) in the brain, to help Matt's facial angiofibromas, to help with his epilepsy and to help with his autism. We give Matt his propolis by putting 12 drops in an empty medicine capsule 2 times a day. After I fill the capsule with the propolis, I close the capsule with the top piece. Then I bury the capsule in a tablespoon of good tasting yogurt. We will continue using the propolis for at least a year. The propolis is about $30 for a small dropper bottle....we also give him a little manuka honey from new zealand 2x a day . Matt's digestion problem which he had for 5 years has disappeared ...not because of what doctors did or any pharmaceutical drug....but what did it was coconut oil (we use Nature's Way)....Anyway, I hope my suggestion about filling an empty medicine capsule with propolis and then closing the capsule with the other piece helps. It goes down smooth! Good luck :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-655962722302095847.post-75374288968570035502015-03-28T21:24:49.186+01:002015-03-28T21:24:49.186+01:00Hi Peter,
Hope all is well, and apologies for the ...Hi Peter,<br />Hope all is well, and apologies for the delayed response.<br />I can appreciate the cost difference, however, there is a huge difference in both potency, and NaturaNectar propolis is the only company that has a patented "green extraction".<br />All propolis from Brazil, is more biodiverse, most potent, and with No Chemical Solvents. These formulas are approved from Danish board of natural health as standardized medicine since the 80's.<br />Anyhow, I would take a look at the "Trio" as CAPE is mostly in the brown, but in there is also 10% Green Propolis, and 5% Red Propolis, to get the benefit of all 3. The cost is much more reasonable at $27.99 for 60.<br />I do work for NaturaNectar, and originally reason for contact is I encountered a woman, child is ASD, and she was in years to learn of this. <br />Are you in the Indianapolis area? <br />Please feel free to contact me if you may have any questions. And, I hope all is well with your family!<br />Jodi@NaturaNectar.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09226423637593573227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-655962722302095847.post-29907193222327470442015-03-05T10:35:21.275+01:002015-03-05T10:35:21.275+01:00I was surprised to see the websites offering Brazi...I was surprised to see the websites offering Brazilian green propolis offering Japanese as a language. The Japanese are clearly believers. There are also anti-cancer properties.<br /><br />The company to keep an eye on is Afraxis:- <br /><br />http://www.afraxis.com/<br /> <br />In the end a PAK1 inhibiting drug will make it to the market, but it takes decades.<br /><br />I would just use the liquid propolis and find out if it has an effect. <br /><br />Experiment with the dose. Increase it, reduce it and see what works best. I do not think it will help everyone, so you first just need to establish whether there is an effect. If there is an effect, see how to maximize it.Peter Lloyd-Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10173383229834614994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-655962722302095847.post-40175026475750802952015-03-05T09:13:41.782+01:002015-03-05T09:13:41.782+01:00Thanks Peter.

This does appear excessive considering they supply the liquid form in only a 25ml bottle. We will follow your regimen.<br /><br />I note they are promoting a 'next generation' BIO100 but only in capsule form. Do you see the increased concentration of CAPE/bioflaviods are being more effective at PAK1 inhibition or just marketing?<br /><br />On a previous post you make note that Japanese and to a lesser degree Russian researchers are taking PAK very seriously. Do you foresee drugs such as FRAX486 or others making it to market?<br /><br />Regards,<br />D&G<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-655962722302095847.post-46574571429930440332015-03-04T17:31:23.399+01:002015-03-04T17:31:23.399+01:00Thanks for the link Jodi.
