Guest guest Posted November 2, 2001 Report Share Posted November 2, 2001 Hi everyone, I am a new member (about two weeks now) who has been reading all of your posts and thought it about time that I introduce myself. My name is Amber and I have a 2 year old autistic son named Spencer. Spencer is a mildly afflicted autist and is " with us " all of the time, so I don't have to endure the pain that many of you do, whose children are somewhere else. He has come back though. There was a time when he was more vacant than now. He is incredibly loving, actually seeking the right person from every group of strangers to cling to and love. It's a truly amazing thing to watch and every person who experiences Spencer's choice is in awe. Spencer was never immunized for anything,so we don't have that issue to explore. He has a twin sister who is totally brilliant and, at 23 months, her developmental assessment was stopped when she reached the 36 month point. Also, for our 15 minutes of fame, my twins were the Geoge Clooney babies on " ER " ...Carol Hathaway's twin girls??? Yes, Spencer was baby Kate. I found out about this board through the enzymes and autism group and coincidentally, my holistic practitioner sold me some Pro DHA for Spencer a few months ago. So, when I started researching what I found through the enzymes group, I was so thrilled to know that Nordic Naturals has the Pro EPA, which has shown so much improvement in so many kids. Like you all, I am searching for the supplement or regimen of supplements that will help my son to realize his full potential. I am even giving the Pro EPA to my 4 year old, who has a minor speech delay. I did read some research that it is important to " balance the Omega 6's before introducing the Omega 3's or the value won't be realized from them. The research even indicated that a joint supplementation prior to the Omega 6 balance won't work. So, here's my question. I am not one to waste precious neuronal firings or synapse meetings on research. Spencer's tiny little brain is incredibly malleable right now and I want to effect whatever positive change I can as quickly as possible. Have any of you supplemented with Evening primrose oil with the Pro EPA? If so, how much? Do any of you know if this is necessary? Dangerous? Synergistic? Any info at all will be greatly appreciated as I am extremely new to all of this and probably know just enough to be dangerous. Nice to be a part of such an impressive group of parents. My hat's off to all of you who are doing something about your children's health rather than waiting for the doctors to do it for you.
