THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION...Ask Elaine


Elaine, I am LOVING the Calcitonin 12C disc! Please remind me of the details so I can tell others about it.

Calcitonin is a hormone produced only by the thyroid gland that is needed to carry calcium into the bones as well as decrease inflammation in the joints. In fact, if a person is deficient in calcitonin, they will have all of the markers (called Rheumatoid factors or RA factors) in their blood as if they had Rheumatoid arthritis. People who’ve had their thyroid destroyed from cancer, Lyme disease, etc. should benefit from using the Calcitonin disc.


Does one have to stop supplements if using the IL-4 12C Disc?  

Yes. Many supplements inhibit MAO-A. IL-4 is responsible for the majority of production of the MAO-A enzyme in the mitochondria, which is needed for the utilization of the neurotransmitters histamine, norepinephrine, serotonin and NMDA.Why increase the production of MAO-A if you are going to then destroy it with supplements?

IL-4 is a cytokine produced by your immune cells to kill pathogens such as parasites. IL-4 orchestrates a balanced immune response by directing the T-cells into what they should mature (differentiate) into such as a T-helper cell, a killer cell, a suppressor cell so that the body has an efficient immune response. IL-4 also is needed for the gene expression of the mu-opioid receptors, which are the receptors that the body’s endorphins work on and narcotic pain relievers. Without the expression of these mu-opioid receptors, a person will often experience intractable pain that does not respond well to pain medications. 


Should I stop taking supplements when using the PST Disc?

 All supplements that inhibit MAO-A should be stopped, no matter what you are using; Respen-A™, PST, or IL-4. Only the Respen-A™ requires calcium supplementation


Elaine, my son uses Tums as oral calcium for his Respen-A™. Will the calcium bind to oxalates regardless of whether or not he has oxalate sensitivity?

Yes. Oxalates bind to the calcium, and other minerals (zinc, B2, B6, magnesium, iron) that we get from food or that we take as supplements. For this reason you should always take your calcium and magnesium with non-oxalate foods, like meats and dairy.


Can a person who does not have the genetic SNP for Low or high MAO-A
still have a problem with MAO-A?

Yes, regardless. It's about the environmental factors that inhibit MAO-A (see list below). Having the gene just makes you more vulnerable.

Your genes only account for 30% of what you manifest, eg; your symptoms. Your epigenetics (the effect the environment has on your genes) accounts for 70%. Your genes are 'plastic' (malleable) so they can deal with the effects of the environment on them.

Don't get caught up with the gene mutation and don't let it define your child. You just mess up the body, which is already dealing with it in its own way. Everything you put into the body, the body has to deal with.

Whether or not you have an MAO-A gene mutation has no bearing as to whether the Respen-A™ will work for you. Try it. It has worked for many people within the first ten minutes of use.


  • High Estrogen such as Soy, tea tree oil (this is why soy should be avoided)
  • EFA supplements
  • Polyunsaturated Fats
  • Many, many Herbal Supplements
  • Stress
  • Heavy Metals such as aluminum, mercury, cadmium
  • High copper levels
  • Parasites and other Pathogens (interfere with the production of MAO-A)
  • Lipid peroxidation (this is why the EFA supplements should be avoided)
  • High levels of alanine (an amino acid- we have far too much alanine and glutamine in our bodies, which is the result of eating too many calories and not having the activity to burn them off. The body stores the excess calories as alanine, and alanine inhibits MAO-A).

TIME TO CREATE THE PST PAGE!

It's time...finally. We've accumulated enough answers since June 2020 to add an FAQ page for PST to our website. I've scoured past newsletters for previous answers to questions, and what follows is just a sampling. All credIt for the impetus stems to a great conversation I had with a parent. Of course, if you choose to try the PST, we may have more data.

The new page should be up VERY SOON! Happy New Year!


What is a simple explanation regarding the difference between PST and Respen-A™?

Respen-A™ increases the activity of MAO-A. But, as you know, it can only do that if the MAO-A is not being inhibited by certain supplements and factors. One factor that inhibits MAO-A is high phenols. The enzyme, phenol-sulfur transferase (PST) breaks down phenols. Dr. Waring has found that this enzyme is deficient in 80% of people with autism. The PST disc mimics the enzyme to keep the phenols from building up and inhibiting MAO-A.

Rosemary Waring did research that showed that B6 can inhibit human sulfotransferase, but it is activated by magnesium. If you have at least a 1:1 mix of B6:Mg there is no problem. Hence, if you have a problem with B6, try to see if taking magnesium will help. 
Have you tested this?

I had several people try this and they didn’t notice any difference whatsoever.


If a child is starting on the PST disc will they have the same issue with gluten or inositol being necessary to release the serotonin?

Not with the PST, but if using the Respen-A™ too, then yes.


Elaine, How long should I wait after starting PST before introducing AM4? 

We have seen most people see some benefit of the PST in the first week. Maybe start the AM4 in the second week. Of course it may not show much benefit until it has been worn 4-5 times.

 If the PST works for my son, does this correct the problem or is 
this something he will always need? 

Because we aren't correcting the cause of the PST destruction, most likely your son will need to stay on the PST disc. This is also what we have seen with the Respen-A™.  


Elaine, does the PST help resolve gluten issues? 

You should see the same benefit with the PST as you do with the Respen-A™ in being able to eat gluten again. I would wait 5 days before reintroducing the gluten. 


When you travel on an airplane, do you pack the PST in your suitcase that is checked or in your carry on? Do the scanners damage the discs?

Scanners at airports will affect the viability of the PST. Please ask to have it hand inspected to avoid damage.


When a person is using the PST disc do we still have the same issue with conversions in terms of 5-HTP? I know that meat is not an issue with the PST. 
Just wondering about this piece?

You remember that The PST is just removing the inhibition on the MAO-A by high phenols. The Respen-A™ speeds up the MAO-A breakdown of serotonin into its active aldehyde so the Respen-A™ can burn through the serotonin but this is not the case with the PST.


When using the PST disc do we still need to make sure to have
a serving of meat daily?

No.
What is the shelf-life of the PST disc?

Each PST Disc has a shelf life of two years when stored in its original packaging. Therefore, we can ship a 12-month supply of the PST Discs to decrease the cost of shipping, if you desire.

We realize that the ZipSeal of the packaging might fail when opened daily for thirty days, and recommend being gentle when pulling the ZipSeal apart. If the ZipSeal fails, fold the top of the package over a couple of times, and use a bag clip on the corner. DO NOT STORE THE PST DISCS IN ANY OTHER TYPE OF PACKAGING! The ZipSeal packaging is occlusive, meaning it will keep light and air out.

Once the PST Disc has been activated on the skin, it is active for 16-24 hours. This is why we suggest that you put a disc on the child in the morning, and remove it when they go to bed at night. The adhesive tape included with the PST is waterproof, so your child can swim or shower while wearing the PST Disc.


My son is gluten-free and dairy-free and we'd like to start him on the PST disc because we know that he has an issue with phenols. Will he be able to have gluten and dairy on the PST disc? If yes, how many days should we wait before reintroducing both?

I think it is wise after one week on the PST to slowly reintroduce gluten first, then dairy.


Can we try the PST disc before the Respen-A™? Our son has toxins that need to be cleared, like mold, and he might have better focus if we try PST.

As for detoxification, the MAO-A detoxes everything while PST is just one pathway. As for PST vs. Respen-A™, some people respond better to the PST disc and you are welcome to try it.

Have You Heard?

*You should see the same benefit with the PST as you do with the Respen-A™ in being able to eat gluten again. We recommend waiting 5 days before reintroducing the gluten. 

*The newest research shows that MAO-A is one of the greatest detoxifiers in the liver (toxins, drugs, metals, chemicals). If you get the MAO-A production healthy again by increasing its activity with the use of the Respen-A™ Disc, then the liver can do its job of detoxification.
