What exactly is protocol for giving omega oils for apraxia? - Pls help!

[Guest guest]

I just want to be positively clear on how to give high dose omega oils

to help alleviate my son's apraxia.

Should I give Nordic Naturals ProEFA (same formula as Omega Complete)

together with ProEPA in a 2 to 1 ratio to start? i.e., 2 capsules of

ProEFA & 1 capsule of ProEPA (as a single serving) and then slowly

increase to three servings of each a day?

Or should I be using ProEFA in conjunction with the Omega 3 formula

(instead of ProEPA)?? There's some confusion as another board posted

this protocol, and someone pointed out that Omega 3 was the wrong

formula to use...

I am so desperate to get my son to talk that I want to make sure I'm

doing this right.

Thank you for your help!

Please feel free to post this to the group you got the misinformation

from as this is the third time I'm posting this archive recently. Hope this

helps!

Re: .....More Fish Oil

Hi !

In the archives we used to raise the dosage over months -but now

people raise the dosage much sooner and don't wait until there is a

plateau. In history the high DHA doesn't work well for just about

anyone's child to see a dramatic surge -but as we know there are

exceptions. Also if you want to see more of a surge with a high DHA

you have to do very high dosages -which again is why not to use the

cod liver oil due to the natural vitamin A found in fish oils made

from the liver of the fish. CLO tends to be higher in DHA.

While the Omega 369 is comparable in formula to the ProEFA- Ultimate

Omega is not the right commercial formula that is equivalent to the

ProEPA. Here's the formula of EPA and DHA in the ProEPA to give you

an idea of how much higher it is in EPA and lower in DHA then the one

you are using.

Ultimate Omega per 2 capsules

EPA 650

DHA 450

ProEPA per 2 capsules

EPA 850

DHA 200

As you can see -the EPA is much higher in ProEPA. You'd be better off

using

ProEFA and coromega then what you are using as we typically don't

want to raise the Omega 3 that much higher than a 5/1 ratio over the

omega 6 -unless you use EPA. Also...more is not always better. If

you are using the right formula and dosage and then throw cod liver

oil on top of that for health reasons -you've changed the formula and

you probably won't see much of a surge. For anyone not seeing

changes on the right formula -are you also using CLO too? If you

check the archives once the CLO is stopped you should see the surges.

I've been told that EPA is a much more expensive oil than the DHA due

to the processing it takes to make it. They may all stink like fish -

but fish oils are for sure not the same!
