]Re: Omega Question

[Guest guest]

Becky,

I am following a high dose protocol that is considered extremely safe. Of

course, Mark is not a toddler but about a 100 lbs so you may not be asking about

him!

Unfortunately, I don't have time to go hunting the net for the studies but many

studies show that the traditional Eskimo and Inuit diet consumption is of far

greater amounts of oils daily then our high dose amounts.

There was a study done whereby kids were given 1 tablespoon a day of 3.6.9 which

substantially reduced ADHD & dyslexic symptoms. I use this dosage.

This stuff has been around for eons. I actually purchased the book, The LCP

Sollution by Stordy (which includes a lot of these studies) when Mark was 6.....

so that was about 7 years ago. I think that this book was old even when I

bought it. Omega supplementation, if you read reviews by Dr. Oz and others, is

one of the best overall anti-oxidents to the body and probably one of the safest

supplements to administer.

I have actually heard many recommend Eskimo Fish Oil and Krill Oil over the

others. Because Mark is has extremely low vitamin A levels, we use Cod Liver

Oil but I would not generally recommend this as too much vitamin A can be toxic

and we are being 'closely' monitored. I see my doctor about once or twice a

month so we are under close medical supervision right now. I began basic

supplementing well before even finding a good doctor and I think that this has

set the stage for success. We did a lot of the work ahead of time and just dove

in and got started.

On the chelation front, this is something that should (imo) be done under a

doctors care and attention. The child should be monitored by a professional but

one can begin to supplement vitamins and such very safely on their own. As with

all things, one should use some basic common sense.

I just loved the DAN Webcasts on the Autism.com site. Check some of them out

for they are so informative and interesting. I think that I spent an entire

week watching them in awe this summer.

[sPAM]Re: [ ] Omega Question

For all of those who are giving the adult dose to their toddlers-- Can I ask

a serious question? I don't intend this to sound mean-- but I'm asking in

seriousness.

do you have any Nutritionist or Dr. that is saying to give those adult

dosages or are you choosing to do that on your own? Is it really considered

safe

to give a child an ADULT Dose? I guess this is something that makes me very

hesitant with starting the supplements, because I am just totally unwilling

to do adult doses of anything for a child-- it would make me too nervous.

Is there a specific reason why you'd give the adult dose and not just give

the child dosage?

thanks

Becky
