Biotin is what the body uses to control yeast. It also helps with healthy skin,

hair, and nails.

It is an amino acid that helps with absorption of certain nutrients, and also

helps increase muscle tone.

Hi Dana,

What dose to start on biotin? Is this one that has to be done " low and slow " or

can it be given at whatever the final dosage is from the start? Does it have to

be given with anything else? Our daughter is already getting calcium/magnesium

as well as a multivitamin that probably has some biotin in it.

Thanks.

Hello! I am a pediatric physical therapist, and I have been working with my son,

using everything I've got, since he was born. I finally gave up trying to impact

his motor planning and dyspraxia issues and focused on biomedical, and he got

better. I don't think we can ever say which one thing helped, or what one thing

to give your child, but I can tell you that we have seen major changes after

adding two things: cod liver oil in a higher dose than we were using before, and

Xymogen Phosphaline. the Phosphaline is supposed to supply choline and a fatty

substance called phospholipo...something or other. It should build up the

structure of the brain cell membranes and help with overall processing in the

brain. It's been about 10 weeks on phosphaline and my son is now talking in 2-3

word phrases and more clearly, he did a forward somersault all on his own for

the first time, he has been climbing things he wouldn't look twice at before, he

now loves slides, he learned to jump, he potty trained in 3 days (he is 4 years

10 months), he can now draw lines and circles and happy faces, he enjoys cutting

with scissors...all little things but they are HUGE changes here. All these

changes occured since January. I believe in physical therapy and occupational

therapy, sensory integration, brain balancing program, of course. It all works.

But if the biomedical piece isn't in place, or the food isn't digested, or the

nutrition isn't there, therapy is just not very effective. I am seeing this in

my practice as well as at home. I encourage you to keep up the therapy and the

exercise, keep practicing the things that are hard for your child, but don't put

off investigating the biomedical and nutritional side. You have to have a

healthy system before you try to train the system! Best of luck!

Hi

I agree completely with what you say. When my ASD son was little,

biomedical was certainly my major focus too. I liken it to a garden – you

get poor results from planting seeds in soil that is contaminated and

overgrown with weeds! Once those things are sorted or at least getting

under control, then the “growing and blossoming” can really start and the

results are fabulous. Once my son was in primary school, then I guess my

major focus changed. Upon a background of sound nutrition and

individualized evolving supplementation, the “therapy/behavioral approach”

has now become more my focus. And the results are really pleasing too –

when you consider he was non-verbal at 3 ½, visually stimming a LOT, lining

up toys, no eye contact, living in his own world, sleeping poorly etc etc to

the almost fluent, age-appropriate play, social, sleeping 9 – 10 hours/

night 10 year old who’s also a pretty average student (except computer which

he excels in!), then I know its been the right path. Just gotta keep moving

along

You child is so fortunate to have you. Best wishes

:-)

> Hi Dana,

I started with 400mcg and worked up to 20mg 3x per day.

>>Is this one that has to be done " low and slow " or can it be given at whatever

the final dosage is from the start?

I started almost everything low and slow.

>>Does it have to be given with anything else?

It requires magnesium for proper absorption.
