Guest guest Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 So Don, you give her just one per day even though the bottle suggests 2? Was that just because that was an amount that worked for her or was 1 what was suggested by the person who referred you to them?

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Oh ok... I was just curious. I know I give my daughter 2 gummy vitamins because the label said 2 was the serving size and the directions said 2 per day. But then my mom was over one day and my daughter wanted the second gummy and my mom was telling her no cause it wasn't candy and she could only have one per day etc. But of course my dd was used to 2 so she kept insisting on the second one, and just before we hit meltdown stage I walked in and said she could have it, I started to get the lecture on potential dangers of giving too many vitamins, so I pointed out that it clearly says to give 2 and she was shocked, lol. She said she'd never paid any attention and just always gave one to all her kids (she used to do foster care) and thought that was what the dose was. *shaking my head* lol I think I'm going to place an order for some of these myself. My dd used to eat the gummies and it was the only vitamins she would take, then a few weeks ago she has decided that she doesn't like them and now she won't even consider looking at them, lol. Thanks! Theresa On Mon, Mar 14, 2011 at 3:40 PM, the_whole_truth wrote: > > > One was suggested to us so that was what we tried. The results were > miraculous.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 well maybe i haven't been the best mother, and yes, i probably could have done alot more for her, my issue is, i have another 2 children, who needed my attention. my eldest is type 1 diabetic, she became this at 11, and then my son,who so far has no real issues.................my type 1 had to adjust to 5 needles a day and become gluten free....so where was i going to find the time to do any of this stuff? Also i like to work as well, gives me a sense of being normalinstead of sitting at home worrying...........i have had a bad couple of weeks with situations at school with Hannah,. Prayer...........you have no idea how much we pray...... Cheryl S [chez] To: Autism_in_Girls_and_Women From: thewholetruth@... Date: Mon, 14 Mar 2011 22:15:33 +0000 Subject: Re: AutismOne FREE We never expected the miracle we received. That isn't why we tried the new supplements. My daughter has food issues too, and a very limited diet (no fruits or veggies), so we tried one and we were surprised and grateful to see what a tremendous impact it made on our daughter. She is as amazed as we are. Respectfully, Cheryl, we do much more than just be there and try to help my daughter. We've left no stone unturned in our effort to help our daughter manage and/or overcome some of her Autism symptoms. We've tried many services which seemed not to be effective at all. We've talked with numerous doctors here in Northern California and in San Francisco who were supposed to be " specialists " at Autism. We've prayed every day both with my daughter and for her since we got her diagnosis 3 years ago. We're not convinced that it was just the supplements which caused her amazing recovery from most of her Autism symptoms. For all we know it was everything we did, not just one thing we did. We DO know that when we ran out of supplements for a week or so, her social anxiety came back, and when we resumed the supplements it went a way again. We never gave up hope that something might help her communicate better with us and/or that she might lose her fear of so many things. We explored every avenue that other parents told us had worked for them, and we're grateful that we didn't ever stop exploring new suggestions. ly, it doesn't matter what you or I think might make our childrens' Autism any better. What we think is irrelevant to what might actually work. I had resigned myself to the fact that my daughter might never overcome any of her more extreme symptoms. In fact, when she played soccer the first year, every time the game resumed she would look over at me on the sidelines and I had to run toward her to get her to start running. Then she would run and participate like any other child, until that play was over. It went on for the whole game, every play, all season, and I was grateful to be able to help her in that way. After we put her on these supplements (different supplements help different kids), the next year I didn't have to run at all. That aspect of her social anxiety was gone. I got to just sit and watch her play. It was a miracle to us and to her. I never looked for any magical cure, either. We just tried absolutely everything we heard of in order to see if it would help our little girl. Magic had nothing to do with it. BTW my daughter still has food issues, too. That was why we tried these supplements originally. And we'll continue to try the next thing that we hear a parent say might help her with that issue. Don > > > > > Beware of scams!!!

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Cheryl, you have been the best mother you can be. Everyone has different circumstances in life & we all deal with things differently. I know you love all your children & are doing the best that YOU can do; what more can anyone ask for. If we could do everything for everyone, take care of everyone & still take care of yourself, & then there's the rest of the world too.....it never ends.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Well, i haven't really tried any of these so called " remedies " i've been on boards like this for years, ever since she was properly diagnosed and i have read, and i have read the comments lots of mothers make. i guess living wherei live doesn't help either even if i wanted to go chase all these different things, as we are not near any cities. i've just had too much happen in this little family of ours. We purposely moved towns in '03, as we didnt like the public school our kids were going too, yes, it was fairly good for the autistic daughter, but we had to think of our other 2 children............so hannah didn't get as much funding when we moved private for an aide, but the advantages were, the classes were smaller, and they were christian, so any bullying or teasing was stamped out mighty quick...........so advantages and disadvantages i guess. Hannah will be 17 this year............ Cheryl S [chez] To: Autism_in_Girls_and_Women From: jennifer_bardwell@... Date: Tue, 15 Mar 2011 12:03:54 +0000 Subject: Re: AutismOne FREE As a parent of a slightly older child - my daughter is 14 - I've been through a lot of this for a long time. While there was a great deal of enthusiasm for biomedical treatments such as secretin and Vit B12/Magnesium about 10 years ago, these things have been exhaustively studied, and have been found to be ineffective in treating autism. I agree with Janet in that I do think that there are a lot of people out there trying to make a fortune off " treating " our children. One must be very careful to avoid falling into this trap. Janet is indeed correct - the practitioners want you coming back and buying supplements and treatment, so they will try to keep up your hope by telling you that if X doesn't work, you should try Y. Those people at the conferences have a HUGE conflict of interest in selling all those supplements, which can add up to a large amount of money. And that is before you move so far down the path that you are paying for IV chelation, and HBOT treatments, even buying your own chamber. Giving vitamins in safe quantities is a perfectly reasonable thing to do, and certainly could help kids with deficiencies due to picky diets. However, there is no evidence that biomedical treatments can treat the symptoms of autism. It's buyer beware. And please don't let yourself be " guilted " into thinking that you are not a great parent because you haven't tried all the snake-oil that is out there. > > > well maybe i haven't been the best mother, and yes, i probably could have done alot more for her, my issue is, i have another 2 children, who needed my attention. my eldest is type 1 diabetic, she became this at 11, and then my son,who so far has no real issues.................my type 1 had to adjust to 5 needles a day and become gluten free....so where was i going to find the time to do any of this stuff?
