supplements (was: Really Bad Week!!!)

I have been reading alot about these supplements that your kids

My son takes CLO, the multi from kirkmans (not the super nu-thera),

and flax oil in his soy milk. Once in a while I try some new ones to

see if there's a difference. He took so many when we first started

out, and I am a little nervous about the stress that it puts on his

liver. All kids are different, what makes a huge difference to one,

does nothing for another child. You just have to try out the

supplements that your interested in, I think. He was stuck at 29

lbs. for a long time, and in the last six monthes he has jumped to 36

lbs. (he's 3 1/2), I think that the supplements are an important

factor in restoring intestinal health so that they can start

absorbing nutrients properly. I think that it's also important to

work with a teacher or therapist when you are trying new

supplements. His teacher could always see a difference in his

concentration level when we ran out of flax seed oil. I couldn't

tell, because he's 3 1/2 and I don't require him to sit and do

something at home if he doesn't want to. But at school his teacher

does, and she is a wonderful help. Good luck, Dawn
