Hi James,

My mother's acquaintance has a 4 year old son with the following abnormal blood panel markers:

Hemoglobin A1C -- 7.2 (High)
AST Protein -- 17 (Low) (Ref. Range: 20-39)
Iron, Total -- 12 (Low) (27 - 64 Reference range)
Microalbumin -- 1.2 (High, I presume; no reference range given)
Total Neutrophils % -- 61 (High) (Ref. Range: 25-55)
Monocytes % -- 10.6 (High) (Ref. Range: 0-10)
Monocytes, Absolute -- 1378 (High) (Ref. Range: 200-900)
Vitamin D, 25-OH Total -- 21 (L) (Ref. Range: 30-100)

MCV is marked off, for some reason, as abnormal at 82.5, although it's within the lab's reference range (73-87).

He has diabetes and requires many insulin injections throughout the day, with sugar/fruit juice given when blood Sugar drops too low.

Judging from the information, it seems as if his kidney function has been compromised somewhat due to the diabetes.

He also has slightly elevated immune cells -- could this be autoimmunity (his adrenals, at 4 yrs of age, are likely not 100% developed yet, and juvenile diabetes is autoimmune), or do you think it's more so a low-key infection?

The iron is low, too.

Could you please comment on the following protocol?

1. Suma root and cordyceps to oxygenate the body and make red blood cell activity more efficient. He has iron deficiency anemia, but I think, at 4, it's probably too dangerous to supplement with iron. If you think suma and cordyceps are good here, in what dosage and frequency for a 4 yr old child?

2. I was looking at your Sugar Balance formula. Is it appropriate for a child? Moreover, since he has type 1 diabetes, is there enough gymnema sylvestre to adequately regenerate the pancreatic islet cells, or should gymnema be taken separately for this to increase the rate of regeneration? What dosage/frequency for your Sugar Balance, or, if appropriate, gymnema alone or with the Sugar Balance formula?

3. To deal with the autoimmunity, should he take your adrenal tonic? If so, in what dosage/frequency? Any other recommendations?

4. Given that he is taking insulin injections, is it dangerous to mix insulin injections with things that increase insulin sensitivity (chromium, stevia, nettle leaf, etc.)? I've often wondered this, myself, over the past year.

5. I am guessing that, w/ the above, the kidneys should be covered (cordyceps, nettle leaf, schisandra in your adrenal tonic). Should he take anything else for the liver given the low AST protein, such as turmeric or milk thistle? If so, what, and in what dosage/frequency?

6. How long does it take to regenerate pancreatic beta cells, and how would a patient know when to begin getting off insulin injections?

Thank you,
Alex.

PS -- I'm putting it another order after your reply, so I could see what I need to get. Please check your inbox within a day or two of your reply here. Thanks again!
