[Guest guest]

Jodi,

There is no concern for the Vitimin E in ProEFA and ProEPA. The concern was

with a brand of fish oil where the recommended daily dosage was over 1000 IU

Vitimin E.

[ ] Re: Holy ^%$% & Vitamin E or

I just read the last few posts for this Vitamin E thread-

My son is 3 and on the link I think it said 9 IU was the tolerable dosage.

I give my son 2 PRO EFA and 1 PRO EPA fish oil capsules a day and a multi

vitamin - total dosage is 60 IU.

I can't imagine taking my son off the fish oil. We had to because I ran out

for a week before the new pills came and his sensory was really out of control

without it.

Just wanted to confirm - this dosage is now seen as a cause for concern

because of the potentially harmful effects of the Vit E? My son's pediatrician

knows my son is on fish oil - but not the exact dose.

Thanks,

Jodi

that an opinion is an opinion even if it's from a PhD MD. So saying it's your

opinion is not an attack against you -and it's not naive as you state -it is

your opinion. It's clear to me it's still your opinion that the side effects and

the regressions that I and others noticed in our children is the result of the

vitamin K even though I explained that my son Tanner who was not on any vitamin

K regressed when two separate times I raised the alpha vitamin E over the gamma

prior to (it that shall not be named) that supplement that had the vitamin K. I

could archive it.

seizures were just one of the side effects.

information on seizures. But I don't know if I'd say Tanner has a low seizure

threshold. My son Tanner at 11 months old had 2 weeks of very high fevers as

written about in The Late Talker -but no seizures. Could Tanner have had a

seizure that nobody noticed say while he was sleeping -of course -in theory

anyone could. The point is to me however we've had this group for a decade and

never before this one treatment did we hear and observe the type and amount of

dramatic regressions and side effects. The older children, teens and one adult

() were able to complain to us about the stomachaches, headaches,

" swooshing in the head " or burning in the mouth- some of the little essentially

nonverbal child just screamed -high pitched (kind of sounded like the DSI

breakdown) screams non stop. So perhaps that was the vitamin K as you believe. I

posted research articles on hypervitaminosis E. If you still want to try the

vitamin E again you or anyone else is welcome to. Unlike me you'll at least know

the signs of hypervitaminosis I posted from the experts.

used to teach at LIU. I have a great deal of respect for my Aunt as well as all

my doctor or nurse friends but once again -just because someone is a medical

doctor (or nurse) does not automatically make their opinion correct.

> We have one child -Evoni- who is still regressed to where she can't hold

utensils or walk anymore and still having repeated daily seizures -to me that's

beyond frightening as it's fully possible that the attempted treatment created a

far more dramatic and severe condition than the original one. Her mother who is

educated, intelligent, and with an influential position career wise -just wanted

to try this new supplement featured around the vitamin e. All I'm saying is that

in my opinion- vitamin K aside - vitamin E is still a huge unknown, especially

in children (no less preschool children) I posted upper tolerable levels where

parents can look for their child's age. The following is information I wish

someone shared with me- but just one of the things I wish was shared with me

about vitamin E. I shared all of them in my last email. Take or leave the

information you believe (in your opinion) is best for your child -and share with

your child's doctor.

On the link that posted the limit for a 3 yr old is 300 IU, not 9

IU. I'm not sure where you saw 9 IU? The fish oil is well under.
