Re: fish oil plateaus getting shorter

[Guest guest]

My son personally does better with an equal EPA and EFA equal ratio. 2 EFAs and

2 EPAs twice a day. For him, too much fish oils without added E causes

problems. 200 iu a day. I know that E is controversial here, but I wanted to

tell you what works for us and everyone can and should do their own research and

makes their own decisions. Best of luck to you!

have had him on the fish oil regimen since February and with each added capsule,

he always showed marked increases in focus, babbling, new words, and being

before the plateau; then we added a second ProEFA capsule that seemed to have

another spike effect for about 3 weeks and then he plateaued and even regressed

so we added one ProEPA which had an effect for about 2 weeks and now he is not

only plateaued but regressing to where we were before we started the fish oil!

I'm not sure what to do? Is it safe to add another ProEPA? Is the fish oil not

working or should we be adding CarnAware now? I'm at a loss and I so miss the

happy, chirpy little boy we were starting to see when we started the oils. Any

help with be most appreciated!

Hi

We had our son on 2 EFA and 1 EPA twice a day. we have since bumped it up to

3x a day.  We too had added 1 capsule a day of the vitamin e.  We are currently

on the " speak " product with good results, but will go back to our original

formula

once that has run out.

For us, the vitamin e brought tremendous gains in gross motor skills as well as

an awareness to pain and cold which was not there previously.

Did you find this helped a lot??? Were there any side effects????? My son is 4

and currently on 2 EFA, 1 EPA.? i have seen gains in his speech and didn't know

I could give him even more fish oil.

my understaning is that the body would get rid of any oils that it didn't need.

try giving 1 more dose and see what differences you find.  Did you notice any

behaviour changes when you first started the oils?  We had about a week of

unbearable behaviour and then it just settles right down and the gains came.

when we up the dosage now, we might see a day or 2 of whiney behaviour, but

that's it. 

omegas are something that the body needs and at least it's good fat, unlike the

pizza my husband and son like to eat once in a while!!(i try to sop up the fat

with a paper towel before i give it to my son!)yuck
