Guest guest Posted February 6, 2002 Report Share Posted February 6, 2002 Lori I am another member who started using ProEfa with my son Cameron, 7 years old, about 6 months ago and I definitely have noticed signs. Some small ones at first but he was nearly non-verbal and he is nowhere near speaking correctly but trying an awful lot and getting many real words out (he would hardly try before, it was too frustrating). I would not say he consistently says words but way more often than before. Also his handwriting in the last couple months has been the biggest change. He could not write words without prompting or tracing and now he is writing words on his own by looking at the same written word (way better!). His teacher has noticed a huge difference in the last few weeks the most. I went into it thinking it may not really help but am a firm believer now! My husband thinks it helps also.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2002 Report Share Posted February 6, 2002 I order our supplements online at www.nordicnaturals.com . The difference in my child is amazing. is not apraxic but he does have pdd. He is 2 1/2 and went from having one word (bye bye) at Christmas to 30 or more words now. He tries to imitate every word I try with him. They don't always come out correctly but he is trying. His eye contact has also improved. He is now putting puzzles together, the ones with the handles on them with the pictures underneath, and I ask him what each thing is before he puts it into the slot. I get tickled everytime I hear him say rooster. Comes out " wrooster. " He also calls me mama now, which is the sweetest sound I have ever heard So, I am a walking talking billboard for ProEFA.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2002 Report Share Posted February 6, 2002 When we started out , my son was being evaluated for seizures. Since ProEFA contains Omega 6's (known to trigger seizures in people prone to them) I searched for a product which only contained Omega 3's. I found the DHA Jr. This is what I started out with and began to see good results. Once we ruled out seizures I added in the ProEFA to get some Omega 6's into the mix. Seems to be working for us for now so I am continuing with this until I see a need for change stacey ----- Original Message ----- Just wondering why both ProEFA and DHA Jr.?

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2002 Report Share Posted February 6, 2002 lori, congratulations. Keep with it, you will be impressed on a daily basis. We doubled the Omega 3 after a month and saw many more positive results. michele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 6, 2002 Report Share Posted February 6, 2002 At the time, would rapidly blink his eyes as if he had something in them. He also would have these " spells " that looked like he was daydreaming but you could not snap him out of it. They would last for 10-15 seconds. The neurologist said that the blinking thing was most likely a tic associated with the speech delay. We have had 2 EEGs' & a MRI, both of which have not shown anthing. He still does the eye blinking thing periodically. Especially if he is not being stimulated in any other way.

Stacey, what was he doing? I ask because we thought Jenna had seizures, but it was something else....a sleep myoclonus. ~*v*~*v*~*v*~*v*~ Karla Married to Joe SAHM to Jackie, , Jenna & Kamryn ~*v*~*v*~*v*~*v*~ Visit the kids sites: <A HREF= " http://jackierenee88.homestead.com/Jackie1.html " ></A> <A HREF= " http://jackierenee88.homestead.com/1.html " >ph</A> <A HREF= " http://jacjoejensplace.homestead.com/JennasPage.html " >JennaNoelle</A> <A HREF= " http://jacjoejensplace.homestead.com/NewBaby.html " >KamrynBelle</A> <A HREF= " http://jackierenee88.homestead.com/JennasStory.html " >Jenna's Story and Progress</A> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
