Update on Tanner -and note about vitamin E

[Guest guest]

As many of you know my son had a massive regression in speech to the

point of groping on Speak. He's been off for 7 or 8 days now and

even though much better his speech is still not where it was prior to

Speak which greatly concerns me as he typically responds to changes

in supplements right away -check the archives most of our kids do

once back on the " right " oils. I'm guessing it's due to the vitamin

E and K being fat soluble and still in his body somehow.

I thought today perhaps he still needs the same vitamin E he was on

before because prior to Speak Tanner was on the 4 ProEFA and 2 ProEPA

and the high gamma E from Vitamin World....but at the same time

another part of me didn't want to give him any vitamin E at all for

at least a few months because I wasn't sure if he already had some

sort of vitamin poisoning (and because who can I ask as right now I

trust nobody when it comes to this unknown path) I gave Tanner today

1 capsule of high gamma E from Vitamin World which means 200 IU of

alpha and 200 mg of gamma with his 4 ProEFA and 2 ProEPA

Tanner's speech regressed again today back to being worse. My

husband is requesting I post this here to let the rest of you know

how severe this really is to document this and to try to help prevent

what has happened to my son Tanner from happening to others. Glenn

is worried that I somehow neurologically damaged Tanner as we don't

really know what is going on -and who do we again ask?!! Yes Liz I

almost feel as stupid as drinking Joy dishwashing liquid as you say

thinking it was lemonade because there was a pretty picture of a

lemon on it.

This is not a " indirect negative report, rumor or innuendos " this is

my son Tanner's dramatic regression on a supplement that contains the

exact same Omega 3 and Omega 6 formula that I have had him on since

2001 that somehow ended up in a supplement with megadosages of

vitamin E and K that for the first time in his life brought him back

to groping in speech. Thank you. And yes I am PISSED.

Tanner has asked for me to come to his school tomorrow to talk to his

teachers and friends in class about why his speech has regressed so

dramatically as he doesn't really know how to explain it -especially

right now.

I am very angry and sick over this -and Liz I don't want to

hear " boo " from you. You have no idea what private emails or

conversations I have that you may not know about -others do.

So just to be clear -if your child like mine regressed or

had " unusual symptoms " that are negative on Speak and now it's been a

few days and your child is starting to get better back on just the

Omega 3 and 6 oils -do NOT supplement with any amount of extra

vitamin E -even a " low " dosage of 200/200. I wish someone else

posted this before me and I hope those of you going through this

nightmare like me appreciate this advice.

Clearly for the majority of us who's children surged on just the EFA

oils (which contains about 15 IU of vitamin E per capsule -that's

it) for the past decade do NOT need megadosages of vitamin E and K.

I just hope that over time his speech does go back to where it was

before. Poor little guy -some of the comments here and behind the

scenes are messing with mamma bears. You do NOT want to go there.
