Guest guest Posted June 8, 1999 Report Share Posted June 8, 1999 Lois, According to what has already been posted, the dosage is 1 mg/kg twice a day. 1 pound = 2.2 kg 70 pounds/2.2 = 31.8 kg So the dose is 32 mg twice a day (daily total = 64 mg).

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2001 Report Share Posted May 7, 2001 Hi Lynne, I could be wrong, I'm not a doc, but that seems awfully high. I wouldn't take it unless I felt this doc knew what he was doing. Are you sure he's into the AP? I'm on Minocin at a very low dose three times a week and clindy on Tuesdays, and that's more than enough to keep in mild herxes off and on and mostly on the weekends, which is okay, because a lot of times I just sleep it off. You could look at the AP protocol yourself and decide how much is the right dosage that way and let your doctor know you know. I'm sorry I can't help you that way...I'm a regular klutz in the doc's office I have so much resentment when I'm there. Just having an appointment makes me cranky. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2001 Report Share Posted August 15, 2001 Hi Becky, Most speech therapists have not heard of EFA supplementation for childhood apraxia, or of EFAs at all any more than the average person has heard of EFAs. The use of EFAs to help apraxia/dyspraxia in children was started by parents just within the last few years. It is not as yet recognized as an effective treatment in the professional literature ... but we are working on that. Trials to scientifically test the effectiveness of EFAs for apraxia in children are just in the planning stages now, but at least the scientific community is beginning to take a look at it. I don't know how long Pro-EFA brand of supplement has been available, but EFA supplements have been around for some time as a general dietary supplement and as a (scientifically backed) nutritional treatment for things like depression. They aren't exactly mainstream, though. Like ginseng for memory and St 's Wort for mild depression, EFAs are still primarily in the health food stores and are considered " alternative. " Unlike other supplements, EFAs are not well known. Millions of people worldwide have been helped with mild depression by taking St 's wort, and most people have at least heard of it. The medical community generally acknowledges St 's wort now, even though it is still considered alternative. Folic Acid is another example of a substance that most people had never heard of not that long ago, and now, it is helping mothers deliver healthier babies as far as the word has spread. Maybe someday, children with apraxia everywhere can be helped by supplementing with EFAs, even if it's considered alternative. Maybe most people will have heard of them and know they're natural things the body needs, that most people don't get enough of, that are important for brain development. If just those basic facts were known by most educated people, more children with apraxia would probably be supplemented with EFAs, and maybe fewer children would develop speech and language disorders in the first place, as mothers supplemented themselves during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Thanks Deborah for all the information. I have another question, though, will my son be on this supplement the rest of his life or can we eventually ween him off it. Thanks again.......

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2001 Report Share Posted August 19, 2001 Hi Becky, This I really don't know. I would put it to Dr. Agin or Dr. Katz. Could one of you share whether the need for supplementation is long term? Does anyone know at this point? Are there any references to long term need in studies of Omega-3 or other EFAs with other disorders? Thanks, Deborah L. Van den Beemt, MS, CCC-SLP in NH/VT > Thanks Deborah for all the information.
