I have a copy of Dr. ' manuscript describing apraxia as a

metabolic syndrome and their improvement on fish oil. Dr. is a lead

scientist at Children's Hospital, Oakland and one of her sons has apraxia.

She compiled data on 187 apraxic children about 2 years ago, mostly from

this group. I'll send you a copy. Not sure if it's in the 'links/files'

section of this group anymore. I looked recently and couldn't find it. If

anyone else is interested, let me know. Below is the Results section of her

manuscript. Debra in CA

RESULTS

Data were analyzed on 187 children with VA (age range 2-15

years; median age 4 years). A common clinical phenotype of male

predominance (148/187, 79%), sensory issues (=49%), low muscle

tone (=32%), ASD (=27%), coordination diffi culties (=24%), food

allergy (=14%), and GI symptoms (=13%) emerged. Not all families

reported the presence or absence of these symptoms, so the prevalence

of comorbidity in our VA cohort is likely underestimated.

A total of 181 families (97%) reported dramatic improvements

in a number of areas including speech, imitation, coordination, eye

contact, behavior, sensory issues, development of pain sensation, and

GERD symptoms. No serious adverse events were reported; however,

22 families described a similar pattern of transient atypical behavior

that included increased moodiness, temper tantrums, hyperactivity,

and crying that generally lasted between 1 to 3 weeks before subsiding.

This was usually accompanied by notable improvements in

speech, babbling, imitation, and/or coordination. One family reported

nosebleeds. Five families reported no improvement, and 1 family

reported worsening aggressive and irritable behavior that was unacceptable,

and the supplements were stopped within a week. Five of

the 6 nonresponders carried a dual diagnosis of VA and ASD.
