EPA??

[Guest guest]

I posted this over the weekend but didn't see a reply.  Can someone tell me

which EPA to add to the EFA?  I want to make sure I give my son the right one

and that the dose is not too high.

I was giving my 2 yr old 2 pro EFA junior a day but we ran out so I picked up

the omega 369 junior at our local store. I want to give him te EPA also but I'm

a bit confused.  Is there a EPA junior or should I give him the EPA that is for

adults?  It says that the EPA is 850mg and the DHA is 200mg.  It just seems

high to me.  I don't understand why this fish oil stuff is confusing me so

much.

I tried NutriVeda with not much improvement but since I started fish oil,

therapy and NV all at pretty much the same time I backed off everything except

the therapy and there was a HUGE regression!  2 weeks off of NV and fish oil my

son did not say 1 word in the whole 2 weeks!  His therapy sessions were wasted,

he did not even attempt a sound.  I put him back on fish oil 6 days ago.  His

therapy was canceled because his therapist has the flu and he is communicating

constantly.  Before taking him off of everything he had about 9 words and had

never put 2 words together.  Friday he said " my ball "   clearly, Saturday he

said " co-dop " when he brought me a cough drop after hearing my cough.  We were

at a birthday party today and he ran through the backyard chasing their cat

saying " kitty kitty kitty " .  It is clear that the fish oil is helping.. alot! 

I will put him back on the NV in a few more weeks and see what happens.
