How Much Pro-EFA for a 17-year old son?

[Guest guest]

Hi All, I have a 17 year old son who became autistic after receiving

the MMR booster at age 12. Every year there has been a slow,

continual regression. We are chelating him, now, for mercury

poisoning from the vaccines. I was considering giving him Nordic

Naturals to improve his eye contact and speech. He has great

receptive language, still. We were told that the measles part of the

MMR depletes his vitamin A, and that he is unable to effectively use

the vitamin A palmitate, because of this condition. We were told to

use cod liver oil to improve his eye contact, speech, and immune

system.

From what I have been reading in this group, it seems that you all

recommend the Pro-EFA as being a better choice instead of the regular

cod liver oil, for helping someone to talk.

I thought I would try the Pro-EFA, first. Does Nordic Naturals make

a good tasting Pro-EFA, now? He won't take capsules. Also, how much

would my son need to take daily? He weighs approximately 175

pounds. I would appreciate your input in this matter. Thank you.

I've just recently joined this group as well. We don't use Pro EFA, I

couldn't find t at the nordic naturals site, any way I did find

coromega from the http://www.apraxia.cc/ sites list of EFA resources.

I had bought a store brand right away and tried to just mix it in with

our son's juice or whatever and he quickly started refusing anything

it was in it had a very fishy taste.

I have found the coromega supplemnt to be almost good tasting, it

reminds me of one of those creamy orange lifesavers. It is a paste or

gel consistance and we mix it with orange yogurt or sometimes just be

itself. their site is http://www.coromega.com/ Does anyone else in

the group use it??

I can't say for sure it is as good as anything else as I have really

only used it, and only for about 2 weeks now. Though we have noticed

some change in our son, we haven't noticed the dramatic changes others

have reported. I will post to the group if we do.

I must also say my son has not been diagnosed w/ apraxia. He is 3 1/2

and has only a few words he does babble and sign some.

He has been diagnosed with Delayed Myelination, Arnold Chiari

Malformation both are neurological the first has no treatment, and the

second can be treated with surgery which my son had about a year ago.

I am hopefull the Omega 3 will help with his myelin development but I

am kind of on my own with it.

Tyler Eskimo-3 Natural Stable Fish Oil Supplement...Has no fishy after taste.

I had already given up months ago on using cod liver oil for my son

because it upset his stomach so much, but then I remembered about

this site and the success many have with the pro-efa and other fish

oils. Thanks for the Coromega web site link. I just ordered a free

sample so my son can try it. At this point, I think I am going to

have to go with what he can tolerate, but,of course, making sure the

oil is free of contaminants.

I am checking out the different oils and where to get them. I also

think that having a third party to test for purity is important as I

don't want him getting any more heavy metals. I emailed the company

and asked them about their third party testing since I did not see

anything about it on their web site. Rose
