-Re: too many capsules

[Guest guest]

Hi all!

There isn't as much studied about higher amounts of gamma in the E -

only the alpha -and any time I've raised Tanner's alpha so far

without the gamma being raised as much - he starts stuttering which

has been our first sign of regression. Once he stutters it typically

takes a few days to get him back to normal once I put him back on the same

dosage/formula. Tanner has been on a 1-

1 ratio of alpha to gamma and he did improve each time we raised the

alpha gamma -but now we are at the highest safe level of gamma and

need to raise the alpha -which I'm willing to try (but again first I

want him to take a vitamin K just in case) The last time I tried to

raise the alpha and Tanner regressed Glenn said " Why are you messing

with the formula again?! " Of course I am nervous about another

stuttering regression -but am aware of the dosages and improvements

many are seeing here -so I've talked to Tanner about it. (he said

the other day that we can " talk about it more later " )

I don't believe that Tanner's on the same formula of vitamin E as

many of the kids here as most of the iddie biddies are on higher

alpha. Tina wasn't your son on an alpha gamma mix too? Didn't he

regress on higher alpha too? What do you believe the difference is

this time?

I honestly don't want to lower his fish oil as I don't even believe

he's on that high of a dosage. I used to want to lower the dosage

and see if I could stop it and each time he would regress. I

discussed this with Dr. Martha Herbert one day and she said something

to me that stuck. I no longer try to lower his dosage because she is

so right. She said " Why are you even wanting to stop the fish oils?

They are essential to our bodies but our bodies can not produce them -

we have to consume them, yet they are virtually lacking in our diets

today. I know I feel better when I take them. " And it's not just

speech -I really do believe that the kids on fish oils here overall

are the better students as fish is " brain food "

it goes a bit deeper.

Due to the heart disease that runs big time in my family as well as

Glenn's...and even Glenn at just early 40s had a heart attack that

thank goodness he has no heart damage from and has been off all meds

now for well over a year (and I do thank fish oil for that since both

our fathers died young of heart attacks) -I want my boys to stay on

the fish oils forever and they know that -but I do want to just a bit

raise the E -and to be safe I am only going to raise the alpha which

in the past hasn't been that positive. In order to do so however for

safety reasons he has to take the vitamin K which is a teeny little

tiny pill not much bigger than the letter e in teeny. I guess I will

try something on a weekend. And sorry about the youtube I posted

earlier -I didn't post the right one. There are tons of them and I

don't know one from the other. Most of them are with sponge bob and

very cute/fun -and for all of you that want to know how to do the

dance right so you don't get " Mom corrected " by your kids as Liz put

it -I just found this!
