????? DAN Visit

January 18, 2008

Hi Everyone, I had a DAN visit today, and have a few questions. First of all,

my son takes two capsules of the Nordic Naturals Complete Omega 3-6-9's with

Borage oil each day. He was saying only a few babble words before the Omegas,

and I personally feel they're the reason why he's able to speak at all. He

still has issues with intonation, prosidy and intelligibility as well as motor

planning (just getting it out -- but, he's verbal). Well the doctor suggested

that I NOT give him or discontinue the Omega 3 6 9s and give him Omega 3 (only).

I told him that I couldn't do that -- my baby's talking, blah, blah, blah.....he

said something about the 6's being for malnourishment, etc....but then said " ok,

just give additional 3's on top of what you're doing " ..... what do you think??

Has anyone heard this? I don't want to mess up the balance and do something

that's going to change my son's progress.

Secondly, the doctor wants to add vitamin B (the injections). Has anyone done

this before??

Thirdly, the DAN is a bit odd, but I like him- I at least think he's ok and

knows what he's doing. This is my second DAN visit, and the first one was a

nightmare. This doctor seems smart and up with current information, but my

husband DID NOT like him AT ALL. He's now (my husband) questioning everything,

withdrawing support and he's afraid that the DAN and I will do something to hurt

him (our son). Yes, the DAN was odd, but Sacramento seems to be an absolute

WASTELAND for DANs and people seeking biomed approaches to neurodisorders. Now,

without the support of my husband, I feel VERY isolated and alone (even more

than before). Also, since my husband has committed absolutely NO TIME to the

research of anything (associated with my son's illness), and he's contributed NO

TIME to my son's homework/therapy, etc.....I'm feeling pretty mad! Anyway,

don't know where I'm going with this " thirdly stuff " , just probably needed to

get it out.

Does anyone do B12 injections and only Omega 3, or have any information on

them.....?

I'll appreciate any information, etc.....

Thank You
