Guest guest Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 wow, how lucky for your grandson that your're so involved. How i wish my mom were able to be involved but sadly she suffers from alzheimers and misses most of what goes on with her grandson. Most here use the Nordic naturals complete 3-6-9,  2 capsules as well as                           Nordic naturals EPA 1 capsule. one hint from a clumsy mom, i use a push pin to pierce the capsules and squeeze them onto a spoon. hth sandy ________________________________ From: grandmadd <denise.mcquade@...> Sent: Fri, February 12, 2010 11:16:08 AM Subject: [ ] Higher EPA or DHA  Can someone please clarify for me the doseages of ProEPA & ProEFA you are giving to a 3 1/2year old who weighs 38lbs. My confusions comes into play because this group recommends more EPA than DHA however most of the DAN doctors like Dr. McCandless (author of Starving Brains) recommend more DHA than EPA for our kids with Autism and Apraxia. Below is an email send by Dr. McCandless regarding her recommendation: > > Nordic Naturals Omega is higher in EPA than DHA. For our kids with autism, we typically want the reverse. High DHA and lower EPA. The reason for this: EPA is for cardio health (great for adults with heart problems) but DHA crosses the blood-brain- barrier and is great for brain health. Thanks again to a confused grandmother hoping to make a difference for our little angel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Thanks so much Sandy. Tomorrow we will begin giving him 1 capsule of the ProEPA and 2 capsules of the ProEFA. I promise to keep you informed of the progress and hope and pray it works for us as well as for the many here on this group. Can you tell me if you give the total of the 3 capsules all at once or do you split up the dosing during the day. > > wow, how lucky for your grandson that your're so involved. How i wish my mom were able to be involved but sadly she suffers from alzheimers and misses most of what goes on with her grandson. > > Most here use the Nordic naturals complete 3-6-9,  2 capsules as well as >                           Nordic naturals EPA 1 capsule. > one hint from a clumsy mom, i use a push pin to pierce the capsules and squeeze them onto a spoon. > hth > sandy > > > > > ________________________________ > From: grandmadd <denise.mcquade@...> > > Sent: Fri, February 12, 2010 11:16:08 AM > Subject: [ ] Higher EPA or DHA > >  > Can someone please clarify for me the doseages of ProEPA & ProEFA you are giving to a 3 1/2year old who weighs 38lbs.
