Guest guest Posted February 10, 2002 Report Share Posted February 10, 2002 , I am giving my daughter a Co Q 10 right now! Gee maybe you have hit on something.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2002 Report Share Posted February 11, 2002 > I think it would be nice if you could tell the parents over on ( groups) about your experience. I know they would appreciate it. , I think a lot of the people from the A-M list are already members of this board too These things go hand-in-hand and I think everybody understood this. The board was mentioned many times on the A-M board, so... I bet a lot of the members there are reading this already. Ibedenone was also mentioned a few times there... but nobody said that it would be that necessary, that it would make such difference... I've read many good things about it too, about a month ago, which made me order some (from Kirkman) to try it. I just had the package today, so... now I am anxious I can't wait to see what's happening Thank you, , for letting us know about your experience I was really happy to read about Nick. It is weird but yesterday I was wondering how is him. I was surprised to see your email. Stay happy, Valentina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2002 Report Share Posted February 12, 2002 Hello, CoQ10!! I (mom of autistic kid) was suffering heavy hives nearly 7 months. After GF/CF with my child, I developed this allergy against wheat and milk. Not only that, everytime I tried new supplument, I suffer mosquite bite like hives all over my body. During this 7 months, I was constantly taking anti histamin pills. I consulted 3 different doctors, nobody couold help, tried many supplments, no result. I got sample of CoQ10 from Kirkman and tried. No hives. Even forgot to take anti histamin pills, no hives as long as I am on GF/CF. Doctor think it should be coincidence, since I took them for few days only. He told me it should take a while before it works. But now I am reading this message board, and thinking it could be the one who saved me. Going to try on my kid soon. > > , > > > > That is really wonderful to hear about your son.
