Guest guest Posted April 1, 2001 Report Share Posted April 1, 2001 It varies, but many children are helped. Dr. Bernard Rimland, ARI, has researched this area. Also, www.megson.com for info on cod liver oil. www.kirkmanlabs.com has many articles on the subject. Our experience: CLO - my child's fine motor control & reading improved, as Dr. Megson predicts. Bonus - I don't need special glasses to drive at night any more! TMG - DMG's precurser. Calmer, more focus. (Me, too, I love this stuff.) I didn't notice Ian improving as it was gradual. Within 3 days of stopping, his attention span dropped again, so we resumed use. The improvement isn't huge, but it's good to have. Nu-Thera (extra B-6, Mag, plus multi-vits & mins)- had to wait until he could swallow the pills (the new, little capsules). Didn't see an improvement (too gradual), but did see moodiness promptly return when stopped, so started up again. Folic acid - we used extra for awhile - learned about it on this list. Really worked fast on hyperness! As diet progressed, and then chelation, hyperness pretty much vanished, as we don't use a separate supp of this any more. These kids have so many health prolems that high levels of vits and antioxidants in general are probably a good idea. But experience varies, as I'm sure you will read on this list. > > Hey all; > > Does it really true that Vit B6, Magnesium and DMG helps the autistic child > in their road of recovery?

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2001 Report Share Posted May 2, 2001 and , We originally contacted a DAN Dr. who suggested these supplements and have since worked with Dorfman (nutritionist) and have had periodic bloodwork done to check all levels. Ian's bloodwork came back with everything looking great and CBC counts were excellent too (good kidney/liver function). It just seems that not very many people are supplementing this much.

I am finding that I am giving him usually 4 or 5 capsules of something to take with every meal, then a gamut of liquids to boot. I currently give him : 3 capsules of Nu-thera 1 vitamin C 1 Zinc 1 selenium 1 CoQ10 1 milk thistle 1 pycnogenol 1 taurine 4 gelcaps of CLO 1 pro bio gold and then: 1/2 tsp flax oil liquid calcium 1/8 tsp nystatin 1 tsp colostrom gold and then: betime meds of trazadone, clonidine and paxil and I am soon going to be adding DMSA for chelation. Does anyone else give their child all this stuff? Is there a point where there are just too many supplements to be safe? He is progressing, however I feel like I am sometimes pushing the envelope and one day he is just going to shut down and refuse to take anything.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2001 Report Share Posted May 3, 2001 Is it really necessary for a young child to take all these vitamins? My boy is 2.5yrs old and he is not on any meds or vitamins except for flinstone vit. How good can this be for a child? Does it really work? What are the long term effects?

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2001 Report Share Posted May 3, 2001 Many of us use a number of supplements because the gut & immune dysfunctions cause malabsorption and other nutritional issues. Addressing these issues at an early age is important as it impacts on growth, vision, behavior and general health. Labs can run nutrition panels to determine if supps are necessary. Some of us just try one thing at a time to see if it helps. SNT is popular because so many ASD people need high levels of b vitamins and magnesium. CLO is used b/c of gut damage from the DPT. Omega supps are also widely used. On the other hand, many parents don't go beyond a multivitamin. Karyn Seroussi, for example. Any supplement should be verified gfcf, and, ideally, free of artificial colors & flavors. Info about studies on the nutritional needs of people on the spectrum is available at www.autism.org and www.kirkmanlabs.com, as well as many other autism-specific websites. > Is it really necessary for a young child to take all these vitamins? > My boy is 2.5yrs old and he is not on any meds or vitamins except for > flinstone vit. > How good can this be for a child? > Does it really work? > What are the long term effects? > > Rebekha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 5, 2001 Report Share Posted May 5, 2001 Hi I could never find a good multi vitamin I liked .. Plus I wanted to use the CLO so I chose to just do everything individually.. I could have opted for a Beta carotene without fear of toxicity with Vit A , but I didn't like some of the other ingrediants and minerals.. So I do the CLO B's are tough .. He does not really do very well .. Although I realize half the kids do very well with high b's.. C's chewable or buffered E soft gel Minerals Citramin II.. I didn't want any copper or iron Plus some calcium chewables// Have tried many more things than this.... also use probiotics. But my list is not really extensive and I have used DMG... pretty regular until recently.. I get in those fats though and try hard to balance them... Plus it depends.. Do they eat all kinds of veggies and different foods. My son is starting to eat leaf lettuce.. Plain .... It is a miracle.. It really is an individual thing.. kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 6, 2001 Report Share Posted May 6, 2001 Both the CLO and soft gel Vitamin E I give at night right after he goes to sleep. I just break open the soft gels and squeeze it into his mouth .... If I do this a half hour after he is asleep he usually does not even know and is in very deep sleep... If I wait too long he seems to be in a lighter sleep and wakes... It is how I have been doing this for a long time. I use the tocterernols which are supposed to be the best and also more expensive kelly How is it going with the metals and mylean stuff?

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Tracie, If my memory serves me correct, you are the guru on supplements aren't you? I have a question. I have started on Omega 3 capsules because of their anti-inflammatory properties and heart protection, but do you know how much would should be taken. The chiropractor told me 1200 mg per day (EPA/DHA 300 mg per cap) as a preventative. But she is cute, and blonde and healthy. Any ideas?
