Guest guest Posted February 22, 2002 Report Share Posted February 22, 2002 Hello everyone, This is our 4th day trying DMG..1/2 tablet each day. I have noticed that my daughter's speech has improved in that she is more talkative which is the good thing....but today I rec'd a note from the teacher indicating that she was very unfocused at school, loud and wanting to hug one of her friends all day. Her teacher e-mailed me to find out if something was going on at home because she was so unlike herself! Has anyone used DMG and seen these kind of behaviours! Should I stop the tablets? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks Lorie Mom to Jenna 6yrs (PDD-NOS) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 22, 2002 Report Share Posted February 22, 2002 Hi! I am reading a great book called " Unraveling the Mystery of Autism and Pervasive Developmental Disorder, A Mother's Story of Research and Recovery " by Karyn Seroussi. On page 227 it says (about DMG): " In some cases, hyperactivity can result from its usage, which disappears when the supplement is discontinued, or when the child is additionally supplemented with folic acid. " I've never used it. And sort of just entering this part of the journey (doing a lot of reading) so I cannot give you firsthand info.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2002 Report Share Posted February 24, 2002 Lorie, I used DMG with my son Mark for a couple of years. He had incredible improvements on it, especially with his speech. I purchased mine from Kirkman Labs since it is local to me. They have a website that describes DMG usage and such but in some cased DMG causes hyperactivity in those children who are deficient in folic acid. Adding folic acid is supposed to combat this. Dr. Rimland has written about this as well. Mark didn't have a problem on it but I'd suggest continuing because you are seeing results and research the folic acid thing. Every child can have a bad day too. The best thing to do is journal this trial and research...it may take a few weeks for your child to level off. Good luck, Tammy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
