Re: just bought inositol and omega 3-6-9 supplement- help!

[Guest guest]

I saved a post will try to find it but I started so low and have seen

results - maybe you want to try - dd is about 50 lbs too - I give one

drink a day of calcium OJ in the blender with one packet of Coromega

in there and an 1/8 tsp 550 inositol powder which is like 1/2 gram I

think I calculated -we can go as high as 6 for their weight I believe

will look for that link

, here's an article re dosage. Also, don't worry about dosage

vs his weight. It's fine to take both. What I think I would do,

however, is start only one the first week (either one) and then begin

the other the 2nd week. Partly so you can tell what is affecting

him (or which is affecting him) if there's improvement; although

it'll take the inositol time to have an effect (did us anyway), you

might see the omega benefits sooner...might try that first.

did take fish oil for a month or so, no good or bad change. Other

parents of kids without OCD but maybe more attention or behavior

problems comment omega/fish oil helps, they can tell if a day has

been skipped. So - good luck and here's that article link for

inositol:

http://www.homestead.com/westsuffolkpsych/Inositol_and_OCD.html

Note - check your mg/tsp on the inositol you have; our's is different

than the article states.

I've done some reading and I'm wondering if he should just be taking the 3, but

not the 6 & 9. There seems to be some controversy about the 6 being actually bad

for you.

We have great success with the Coromega, which is just an Omega 3.

Hi --yes you are right. Part of the problem is that our diets are

already too high in Omega 6. You may want to try a different

configuration. I think many people like the Coromega especially for

children. We use Omegabrite, but whichever you choose, I am glad you

are giving Omega-3s a try. I can't say enough good about them!(We use

inositol too.) Good luck!--Adrien

thanks chris it would have taken me time to locate that article I

saved from you

we had the opposite affect here -started omega first for 1 1/2 weeks

didn't see improvement added inositol and she was her happy self again

-maybe the omegas kicked in just then maybe the combo???? she never

had BT and it didn't help symptoms but her sadness melted and some

anger -now I think she's hyped sometimes which she never was, but i'll

take it!

I don't think it's that omega 6 is " bad " for you, it's just that -

from what I've read - we already get so much of that from our diets

that the ratio of omega 3:6 has the " 6 " too high, so we don't need

to supplement with 6; supposedly, though I know of parents (online

from groups) that say the 3-6-9 have worked, but also some are using

just omega 3 and getting results. Looking up a quick search, here's

one excerpt on 3 vs 6:

" For general health, there should be a balance between omega-6 and

omega-3 fatty acids; the ratio should be in the range of 1:1 to 4:1;

the typical North American diet, however, normally provides ratios

from 11:1 to 30:1. "

from:

http://www.umm.edu/altmed/ConsSupplements/Omega6FattyAcidscs.html

Also a paragraph from another:

" Long term exclusive or excessive use of flaxseed oil, which

contains large amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, can result in omega-6

fatty acid deficiency and require the addition of oils containing

omega-6 fatty acids to the diet. "

http://www.answers.com/topic/omega-6-fatty-acids

The way my family is eating lately, no telling what we are actually

getting of either! (busy, busy, busy!)
