Guest guest Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Hi , The DAN! dr prescribes our son's MB12 shots, and his are specifically compounded at a compounding pharmacy to include extra folinic acid (which, in our son's case, blood tests showed that he needs). I give the shots twice a week. For the carnitine, I think there are OTC carnitine supplements that many parents use. Our son's Levocarnitine is a compounded prescription, since other bloodwork showed that he had low carnitine levels. Our insurance pays for a portion of both the MB12 shots and the carnitine since they're prescriptions. Also, I don't know how I could have forgotten to mention the fish oils! Those, plus good probiotics and a multivitamin/mineral, are also all essential in our little guy's supplement regimen. HTH, From: <kobl@...> Subject: [ ] Re: Biomedical Date: Thursday, August 13, 2009, 3:56 PM Hi , Thanks for sharing! Do you have to give other supplements with the MB 12 shots? I read that you need to give folic acid supplements with that. How often do you do the injections? Does insurance cover that at all? Also what is Levocarnitine? Is it a carnitine supplement? What are the benefits? My son has low tone in addition to apraxia and I read that carnitine is sometimes given for low tone. Thanks for any add'l info you can provide. , mom to > > We've been doing biomedical interventions through a DAN! dr for the past 8 months or so and have seen HUGE improvements since beginning biomed. Our 3 1/2 year-old son had about 20 words before we began biomed, and he's now speaking in 6+ word sentences, singing, and reading. We're still working a lot on articulation, but in general, he's much easier to understand than he once was. > > The biggest things that have helped him with speech have been MB12 shots, DMG, Levocarnitine, and supplements to help with detox like glutathione and magnesium malate, and we're currently exploring chelation to help pull heavy metals that he's tested positive for. > > Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, there's a great biomed group that discusses biomedical interventions, it's ApraxiaDyspraxiaBio medSupport. The parents there are incredibly knowledgeable about all types of biomedical interventions to help with apraxia/dyspraxia. > > Also, 3 terrific books that focus on biomed are Dr. Bock's " Healing the New Childhood Epidemics " , Sally Kirk's " Hope for the Autism Spectrum " , and Dr. Jacquelyn McCandless' " Children with Starving Brains. " Your child might not be diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, but as our DAN! told us, since apraxia is also neurologically- based, it can often respond to similar biomedical interventions (and in our son's case, while he does have a PDD-NOS diagnosis in addition to the apraxia, our dr said he's much more apraxic than PDD). > > I definitely think our little guy's improving due to biomed combined with lots of speech therapy, and he's also in a terrific preschool with an awesome teacher. While he still does face challenges, I truly believe that all those things are definitely helping tremendously. > > HTH, > > Mom to 3 1/2 year-old twins: (apraxia and PDD-NOS) and Cecilia (typically developing) > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Our homeopath practiced classical homeopathy and believed in treating the person so typically only 1 remedy, sometimes 2 is typically used and very specific to that person's constitution. We only used 1 remedy called Tarantula. Sounds crazy but we saw big results. We started it to help with focus and hyperactivity. What we saw was a HUGE increase in language and intelligibility. This tells a little about the remedy my son was on. http://beneforce.com/informationfaq/homeopathic/tarantula.htm All my best, Sylvia Sumidahttp://matthewsumida.blogspot.com/ From: jennyjudy@... <jennyjudy@...> Subject: Re: [ ] Re: Biomedical Date: Friday, August 14, 2009, 9:34 AM What kind of things did you use in homeopathy?
