What helps to improve short term memory?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

My son has excellent long term memory but very poor short term memory. It's his

learning hurdle right now. Can anyone tell me what helps to improve short term

memory? Does poor short term memory mean bad bacteria, mercury in brain or

something else? Your advice is highly appreciated!

Some things I did:

Never told my son more than two things to do at a time and tried to

limit it to one. One he could do. Two he might be able to do. Three

made sure he screwed them all up.

Had him look at me when I talked to him and had him repeat the

instructions in his own words. I later concluded that looking at me

helped because he had auditory processing problems and it allowed him

to read my lips. If I talked to him when he wasn't looking at me, he

routinely mis-heard things I said. He seems to no longer do that, or

at least he doesn't mis-hear me any worse than " normal " (like he

didn't hear me because the water was running).

Killing off viral and bacterial infections has helped. So has getting

him the right supplements. For him, glyconutrients helped with some

of the brain issues that nothing else seemed to touch. I think sea

salt also did a great deal of good for his general mental functioning

because it did a great deal of good for his general physical functioning.

Good luck with this.
