Guest guest Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 We tried it but it but saw no changes and it made my son CRAZY hyper, even giving w/folinic acid did not curb that. I know parents who have seen success with DMG with spontaneous language and conversational as well. ms2007786 <ms2007786@...> wrote: Anybody used Dimethylglycine?

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 We tried DMG with Tyler, and he experienced no positive or negative effects. Our DAN doctor said that this could indicate that either he is a non-responder OR would respond better to TMG. We have the TMG on hand, but haven't tried it yet. Other priorities right now... in NJ Anybody used Dimethylglycine?

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Not sure, but I actually think DMG is more effective for kids with autism than kids with apraxia. Not many people here have tried it though, so that is probably a contributing factor to the stats. Results seem decidely mixed anyway -- some DAN doctors swear by it, and some haven't seen much come of it. There is some overlap with the benefits of the mB12 shots. Both help the methylation cycle, etc., but both have different, other benefits as well. The shots have a much bigger " fan base " , so I would give those time to work first. They have been great for us, which is why we are not so jazzed up to try TMG. in NJ > > Sumida, > My is son is not diagnosed apraxic.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 The MB12 initially had an affect where we noticed more babbling but overall it has really helped with my son's awareness of the world around him. It has helped curb his meltdowns and he became so affectionate and responsive to us. It does make him hyper but we noticed a big difference in his behaviors when we stopped the shots for a few weeks....he was tantrumming and prone to meltdowns several times a day... much like he was before we started MB12. We are now back on the shots and he is doing much better. M S <ms2007786@...> wrote: Sumida, My is son is not diagnosed apraxic.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 So you are using both MB12 and DMG?

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 We stopped the DMG. It had no effect and caused extreme hyperactivity. My son has autism an apraxia and the only thing so far that has seemed to impact his speech at all was B12. He gets injections every 72 hours and by the end of that time we notice his approximations are a bit more sloppy. M S <ms2007786@...> wrote: So you are using both MB12 and DMG?

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 We DMG, TMG and MB12 shots and nothing helped with my son's language other than pure old Speech Therapy. We did do the DMG and MB12 shots together and it made him hyper where he wouldn't settle down for his usual nap so our DAN at the time cut back to dose of MB12 shots. We have been off of MB12 shots for about 4 months now and it didn't make a difference in our son that we noticed.
