Re: supplements-whats the difference?

[Guest guest]

Not sure I get what you mean. Do you mean you are reading actual names

for the different supplements and wondering which ones to choose? Or

are you looking for supplements and finding the different combinations

and names? And, now you are wondering if the ones you choose are the

correct ones?

Not an expert here, just thinking loudly.

Some supplements when combined support absorption - for example and calcium and

mag.

Others might be able to tell you more about differences between the diff types

of B12, etc.

You can use a straight vitamin C if you want. Bioflavenoids are

another form of C. Cal/mag can be added to C to make it " buffered " ,

which is usually easier on the gut, altho my son did poorly on buffered C.

> Mythl B12/transdermal B12-I gave him disolve drops that are just

I used " plain ol' B12 " at first, but my son did best with mB12,

oral/sublingual tablets. It required folic acid and carnitine for

proper absorption, and did tend to increase yeast.

how to swallow pills effectively.

Well, teaching a child how to effectively swallow pills is a good

thing to teach.

You are an endless supply of know how! I read your comments & it shocks me that

all that info is in one persons brain! I'm thankful for you-just wanted you to

know that!

Its just so stinkin frustrating knowing that he has deffiencies that can be

fixed w/ a supplemnt, but I have to wait to give it to him so I can figure out

which ones help, hinder or are neutral. I'd like a 'start w/ this one & a step

by step of which supp to do w/ him 1-10 guide' to help my ever exploding brain

comprehend all these things that have taken my little boys permanent smile away.

I don't like the guessing game!

PERSOANL NOTE: last night, during our short stint trick or treating w/ the fam,

Miles came up for a hug (more of a stimulus need than a snuggle-I use it for the

snuggle) & as he was getting the squeeze my dad noticed Miles had closed his

eyes & smiled. I didn't get to see it, but I caused it, so just wanted to

share. Sometimes I focus all on the healing & don't take the time out to enjoy

the little moments that heal me.

I started by observing symptoms, doing a lot of research, and posting

messages asking what helped other people. Many times, the supps that

were recommended, caused problems for my son, so I had to figure out

why. Most of the time, it was because *other* supps were needed to

help with proper absorption of the supps he needed. Yes, very

frustrating.

I didn't either. But when I started, apparently no one knew the

information I needed. This message board has generally been the most

helpful tho.

Great! He sounds like a very nice boy. We went to a western-theme

harvest festival on Friday evening. My son had his face painted [and

I have a picture, very big smile!], did ring toss, pin the face on the

pumpkin, bounce house, and several other things. Had a lot of fun.

My kids ate a LOT of candy. I gave them one probiotic each [10

billion] just in case of any yeast issues, and they slept like bricks

all night.
