] Re: Why I MUST do MORE than just fish oils - Liz

[Guest guest]

Janice not sure if you know that borage oil may be a problem in large

dosages if it's not made from the borage seed alone. The ProEFA

contains borage oil from just the seed. If you use another brand

make sure it's from the borage seed -not the entire plant. (has to

do with a study about the PAs which could be in the plant)

And Liz -another Omega 6 that is found in both Efalex and EyeQ is Primrose oil

and it's also used with success for most. For most -we only need

about a 5 to 1 ratio of Omega 3 (preferably EPA not so much DHA) over

the GLA. Again I am only addressing the majority which is where I

advice new people to start...and if that doesn't work for some reason

your child is probably in the less than 10% to explore other means.

Perhaps the answer to know for sure what formula of fish oil is

needed isn't even being used yet to test the children here that are

found to be " high " or " low " in this or that since we are dealing with

neurological conditions -so we need to know what crosses the blood

brain barrier not what's showing up in the blood. Also what part of

the blood is being tested? Here's more on that from an archive of

information from 2002

Re: New Member-Debby, Yeah!, and a few questions.

Debbie -the signs EFAs are working come in one day to three weeks

almost across the board when it's the right formula and dosage, and

when your child is in the majority (who it works for)

There appears to be only a handful it doesn't work for -and they may

be the rare

child who would have had apraxia anyway. Apraxia used to be rare -and

from the

families that have apraxic children now -it's not genetic -nobody

knows where

it's from! (especially in Jersey where historically we all speak a

mile a

minute!)

If you didn't see the messages on this and don't know how to search -

go to

messages. Look for the search box and put in key words like ProEFA

and press go.

If you don't see what you are looking for -press next till you do.

Here is almost all of the archive message here

One question I have is what is the formula and brand name of " Omega

supplements " you are using -fish oils are not all the same. Look at

the bottle and please post the DHA, EPA and GLA etc. here. Thanks!

As far as books -I co authored The Late Talker with

neurodevelopmental pediatrician Dr. Marilyn Agin who is the Medical

Director for NYC Early Intervention (the largest of it's kind in the

US) and Malcolm Nicholl who is an international journalist and also

the co author of The LCP Solution book with Dr. Stordy (the creator

of the Omega 3 and Omega 6 Efalex EFA formula most of us used years

ago before ProEFA) Dr. Agin recently wrote the cover feature

article for the pediatric medical trade magazine Contemporary

Pediatrics.
