Guest guest Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 tonya, I believe that is your name, I am replying about the vitamins. I give my son omega 3 which is great for their brain and many other things and I give him vita balls. they are a multi vitamin and they come in a gum ball. My son hates chewable anything but he loves gum and they dont taste bad because I have chewed them before. I buy them at wallmart.gina > > > What vitamins do you give your aspie?

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 You are very fortunate to have such a good psychiatrist! Ours never ran a single blood or medical test. He offers a different med every time we go in and when I go home and research the drug they are new and his prescribing them is " off label " usage. Not one single doctor we have seen during the full year we tried to get a diagnosis checked for vitamin deficiencies, not even when I asked.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 I use RID lice Shampoo, then I put gel or anything that you leave in the hair. I've been told by many different people that lice love clean hair. So hair spray, gel, leave in conditioners, oils, etc...they I tie their hair up. I always see those warning notes the first month of school. " lice outbreak ".

Actually, the very first psychiatrist I ever took either one of our kids to was like that, i.e., not very medical other than giving out psych drugs. I never went back!

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 You're using lice shampoo to prevent lice? I've read that it isn't really the safest stuff to use.My kids have never had them so I don't have experience, but a friend treated her daughter with cetaphil after she had lice and nothing was working.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 I give my kids a multi as insurance. My son gets gummy bears since he shouldn't have the iron (constipation) and my daughter needs the iron so she takes Flintstones. Generics taste horrible to her. Fish oil won't hurt, but the evidence is still a little weak for attention problems. My kids wouldn't take them and we returned them to costco. I bet my dog would've loved them though. He has skin problems and they are supposed to help with the inflammation. Maybe I'll get some again for him. > > Yes, the Flintsones vitamins are chewable.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 thanks, I didn't know that wasn't safe to use. I do know the first month of school, after summer break is lice month. we always get a note sent home to check heads - there was an outbreak. the rest of the year was much better.kellypywtorak <kellypywtorak@...> wrote: You're using lice shampoo to prevent lice?

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Hi, Jen - flintstones ar junk, I'm afraid . they don't even have the basic things adults need (since they are kid's vits), let alone the special things WLS patients need. i'm seeing more and more people getting anemic, deficient in calcium iron, B1 and more. I know some docs still sugggest Flintstones, but i can't for the life of me understand why, wih the current info out now. I use and highly recommend the Bariatric Advantage vits. they have specific formulas made for each type of WLS, and the Vita-Band vits are formualted for bandsters. See the files for the " Vitamin " information. I listed the contact info for the wholesale person I get mine from, if you want to save about 10%. The document explains why we need much better vits than we thought - I've done pretty extensive research on this in the last several months, and have also gone to several seminars on bandster vity needs.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Is there a file somewhere that says specifically how much of each vitamin, etc is needed? When I compared the children's chewable that I am taking (2 each day) the amounts were the same or higher than the Centrum chewable. I'd really like to compare apples to apples and see what, if anything, I am missing. I was banded May 12, 2008, have had two fills (total of 4.5) and have lost 48 pounds.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Flintstones contain none of the micro-nutrients needed by adults for eye health and more. even the centrums, which dio have some of these, are not USP approved, certifying they are the pharmaceutical grade ingredients needed. they do not carry the USP certification on the label, and few otc vits/supplements do. Each vit has ingredients available online for comparison, and i'm working on a comparison chart now. the Bariatric Advantage vits are the ones researched and proven to contain what bandsters need, per new research. Many docs are now recommending them, and they are what I take and recommend. see the vitamin document here in the files for my research and recommendations, from the international seminars i have recently attended with the top band researcher in the world.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Hoku ~~ Those sound like herbs to me. My hepatologist advised me not to take herbs as they are unregulated and their strength and purity can't be known. Since many of them are in combination with others there are not any studies that can tell us whether they are safe or not. I have decided to err on the side of caution and not take them. She did advise that multiple vitamins (such as Centrum) were fine. It is better to find one that doesn't have iron as taking iron is hard on the liver. There are some cases when their is little liver damage that iron can be okay WITH DOCTOR APPROVAL ONLY. It must be reviewed in light of the condition of your liver and your overall health. I hope your tx is coming along okay and that you are not having too much trouble with sides.

Ensure calcium and magnesium are the " citrate " form, and also that you buy calcium and magnesium in separate tablets. +++Yours contains an imbalance of cal to mag, so depending upon the " kind " it is (citrate or another type), you need to buy magnesium separate, so you can take equal amount of cal/mag. > So should i be taking 6 tablets for 1200mg? +++Yes, that is correct. But you also need more magnesium than is in your supplement - iHerb has Natural Factors brand calcium and magnesium citrate - write down my Rewards No., which is EWI284 so I get credit. > Also,I thought I read somewhere in the posts that cultured butter was the best thing to use.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Yes, my son is on Vita-Spectrum. I switched him from brainchild to the klaire's a few months ago and he's doing great. He drinks this with no problem over the brainchild which was a huge plus for us since getting him to drink the other was becoming quite the battle. And for about $20 a month, I could not be happier! They are actually coming out with a new flavor in 6 weeks or so - and Christy from Klaire said it tastes better than the original and is really quite good. So I don't know if you want to wait to try the new flavor, if you're mixing it with something. If your kiddo takes capsules, then no need to think about it. Some reported that it was chalky, so I tested both the powder and capsule forms - I mixed the doses with about 2 ounces of water and it dissolved with no problem and I add our other supplements and some pear juice to top it off. He drinks it with no problem. Best place is probably directly from Klaire - call them to place the order, they will ask who referred you - tell them Dr McCandless - it will also get you 20% off all of your purchases there.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 > > Hello > > Just as a quick intro. My name is Terri and I have been reading here for about 1 month now. I have been following a sugar free, gluten free, casein free diet for about 2 years now trying to help eliminate my seizures. I also have cut out all caffeine as well as MSG, additives, food colorings etc. This has greatly reduced my seizures but not totally eliminated them. The Dr. also put me on a yeast free diet. All that to say that since I found Bee's site it has been a simple matter of eliminating some brown rice and potatoes plus adding in some coconut oil to be on the program. I have never been on any seizure medication but have taken numerous supplements on and off and would like to get on board with Bees recommendations. > > So on to my question. What A, D and Omega 3's do you take? It's a bit confusing and since I can't drive because of the seizures I would be glad to order on line under your # if you will guide me to the exact ones you use. I'm good on everything except the A, D and Omega 3's (I live in Texas so don't feel like I need cod liver oil. +++Hi Terri. Welcome to our group. This article explains how much sun exposure you need, with 85% of your skin exposed during optimum times of the day, and the amount of minutes required. +++Also it explains that you take fish oil (not fish liver oil), which contains only Omega 3, plus a separate vitamin A when you get enough sun exposure which makes vitamin D on your skin: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/cod2.php +++Once you decide whether you need to take cod liver oil or fish oil plus vitamin A, this group can help you find the correct ones if you put your City and State in the Subject line above. > > Thanks for your help! Your site has so much information on it and I'm still working through some of it but enjoying what I read. +++You are welcome for sure!
