Guest guest Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Can you expand on what you did. We just started my grandson on one capsule of the ProEFA from Artic Naturals. He is 3 and 30 lbs. He too is on the spectrum and is non-verbal. He does some babbling and rarely a word, but does not repeat. Any info you can offer would be greatly appreciated. He was also on CLO and is still on B12 shots all with not much improvement. Nora > > Hi all, > I just wanted to post some encouraging news. I started my son on the fish oil protocol from this website last month. We started with 2 ProEFA and 1 ProEPA. My son is completely non-verbal and does not babble other than the ocassional " mmm " sound. Within about a week, out of nowhere, we were hearing " dada " , " go " , " kane " (our dog's name), and maybe even " car " . HOWEVER, none of these were used appropriately...I DON'T CARE! I will take consonant sounds and more than one syllables anyday compared to what we had. Let me note that my son is on the spectrum (22 months old). Before we started any of the DAN protocol, I had tried just the ProEFA (this was about 6 months ago). He immediately began babbling but it ended shortly. He was placed on CLO and MB-12 shots, per his DAN, and again we heard a bit of babbling but it was extremely short lived. So, I tried this protocol and I've heard more sounds than I've heard in his entire life. I don't know if they will " stick " because he does seem to gain a sound and lose it but it is continuous noise that sounds a lot more like baby babble...more than ever before. > > On all of the boards that I'm on, I love when people post positive news; so I just wanted to do the same. > > Side note: he seems to be stuck on a few sounds now " geee " " guuu " instead of the variety that we were hearing. I'm wondering, do I need to up his dosage? Any advice would be appreciated. > > Thanks! > Joanna > http://drewsautismdiary.blogspot.com > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Hi Nora- I bought ProEFA and ProEPA from Nordic Naturals. I give my son who is 30lbs 2 ProEFA and 1 ProEPA per day. Like I mentioned, we removed the CLO and he continued on MB-12. It didn't take long (maybe a week or so) and then the babbling really went crazy. He still doesn't talk though. But, it has just been so nice to hear " normal " sounds. Hope that you too start hearing better sounds.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Hi. I give him 1 EFA and 1 EPA with lunch and 1 EFA for dinner (these are the gel capsules). You should definitely try the EPA but make sure you have the right ratio. I'm not sure what that would be for the liquid but I'm guessing it's something like 2:1. I don't know if I'm doing it exactly right but it was working. Now, he's making a bit of weird noises but still some consonants. He's stuck on this " geeeeuuuuiiii " noise and I have no idea if that's normal. > > > > > > Hi all, > > > I just wanted to post some encouraging news.
