Re: minerals hurt attention but result in other improvements...

[Guest guest]

My gut feeling here that it might be the Calcium.. some of our kids don't do

well on it. Try taking that out first.. or try it with Magnesium to see if

that helps.. but start low and titrate up slowly..

Subject: [ ] minerals hurt attention but result in other

improvements...

I just added molybdenum and calcium about 2 months ago and we've had really

good improvements in some areas. The phenol reactions are gone and he

started coloring and drawing for the first time ever (he's almost 8 years

old). His speech/use of language has also improved significantly.

Unfortunately, at the same time, his ability to focus and pay attention have

greatly suffered (wasn't really that good to begin with). His teacher has

been writing almost daily notes about this.

I've had similar reactions to magnesium and also Zinc and therefore have not

continued supplementing with these. I've seen such good results though I

don't want to give up on this one.

Has anyone had similar reactions in their children? Any ideas as to what I

can do for him?

thanks

My son was calcium toxic, despite 2 years cf without any calcium

supplementation. I had to give IP6 to remove the toxicity, and then give the

nutrients that are required for proper calcium absorption, which for my son were

magnesium, vitamin D, vitamin K, and lysine.

Maybe your child is lacking one or more of the nutrients required for proper

calcium absorption?

At my house, magnesium required taurine for proper absorption.

What are symptoms of one being calcium toxic? I ask because when I try to

supplement, we seem to have problems.

thanks

Any time I tried to supp calcium, he got really hyper, vacant stare, spacey, and

ODD issues.

This is what happened to our son and he still is not better. What is the IP-6

and is it safe to try?

It is a demineralizer. It works really well to remove iron and calcium from the

blood [does not remove calcium already in the bones]. My son had excess of

both. If your child only has excess of one, you might need to supplement the

other.

I started low dose and worked up.
