Guest guest Posted May 8, 2001 Report Share Posted May 8, 2001 Hi to all This is for the parents that give their children all kinds of vitamin supplements- Has anyone taken these supplements away for sometime to see if these things actually work? These supplements and medications- is this a life time thing and what are the long term effects? Rebekha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 8, 2001 Report Share Posted May 8, 2001 My ASD son regresses without his supplements of B's, clo, evening primrose, magnesium and DMG. He's 12 and is wanting to be like everyone else, and not take them. So yes, I've seen the evidence that these are working and how!!

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2001 Report Share Posted May 9, 2001 Thank you Sue for the reply, will this be a life time thing for your child and what are the long term effects? I chose no supplements for my 3yr old because the early intervention is working well with Gabe. Slowley but surely he's coming along. He'd probably come along a lot faster with supplements but a long use of anything has some sort of side effect in the long run so I choose not to go that route. I have been pretty lucky so far. Good luck with your baby Rebekha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebekha, Brett has been on SNT and DMG since August, and we have seen great improvements in his awareness and desire to interact. (We started both at about the same time, so I'm not sure whether one is having more effect than the other.) A couple months ago, Brett had a stomach virus and didn't eat or drink hardly anything for 3 days, so we couldn't get his supplements in. He regressed to almost constant toe walking, no eye contact, and carrying around an empty video box rather than playing with appropriate toys (and screaming when you tried to take it from him). As soon as he started back on the supplements, he returned to his old " improved " self. It was kind of scary- we had forgotten how bad he used to be before we started the supps! You may want to try your own experiment, but I'm convinced they work! Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 10, 2001 Report Share Posted May 10, 2001 We've had the same experience with my 3 year old daughter Sam. We are on SNT and TMG for almost a year now and I won't ever not give her those vits again. It also convinced me the diet could help her (it has) and now I am researching some other supplements. It does concern me that I don't totally understand and neither does my ped why the vits do improve some of her skills. So Monday I have my first appt with a DAN MD in our town. It's expensive-Wish us luck. Who knows where this path my lead?
