Guest guest Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 I found this article on Dr. Mercola's website and found the section called Foods and Supplements For the Autistic Child interesting. Mainly because of the paragraph on Omega 3s. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/pages/the-danger-of- excessive-vaccination-during-brain-development.aspx " While omega-3 oils are healthy, the EPA component is significantly immune suppressing and as a result, high intakes should be avoided. Studies have shown suppressed lymphocyte function (NK cells) with high intake of EPA. It is the DHA component that has most of the beneficial effects, especially as regards brain repair and inflammation reduction. DHA also inhibits excitotoxicity. Because the autistic child has intense brain inflammation, a combination of EPA and DHA is preferable, with a lower content of EPA (no more than 250 mg). " So, I checked my algae supplement and we are not over the EPA limit of 250 mg - whew. Each recommended daily dose (three capsules) of V-Pure contains 270mg of DHA and 89mg of EPA. How much does everyone else give and do you think this article by By L. Blaylock, M.D. makes a good point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
