Re: REALLY IMPORTANT ARTICLE ON SPEECH APRAXIA -- possible explanat

[Guest guest]

Actually the study was on nearly 200 children-where did you see 26? This is

a peer-reviewed manuscript, posted on PubMed. Here is a link to the

manuscript:

http://www.alternative-therapies.com/

See the title SAAM (Syndrome of Allergy, Apraxia and Malabsorption) listed

on the far right column.

But I'd be happy to send you a copy of this manuscript in PDF, which is

easier to send, print and take to your doctor. It includes 'Bloodwork To

Consider', which are basic labs your pediatrician can test for.

A higher than expected % of apraxic kids are gluten intolerant and deficient

in carnitine & other vitamins. It's especially important to test for

carnitine deficiency, since it's dangerous to be low and simple/safe to

supplement. This manuscript describes a common metabolic syndrome in apraxic

kids. Dr. is currently applying for grant funding to run controlled

clinical trials. But that will take *years* to complete. In the meanwhile,

many of our kids may benefit from safe, simple nutritional intervention.

This truly is a landmark study. I'd love to see it permanently included in

the 'folders' section of this group for easy reference to newcomers.

(The majority of the participants in this study are members of this group.

Dr. conducted a survey & collected labs parents had run on their

children here on CHERAB about 2 years ago.) Very exciting stuff:-)!!
