Thank you so much. What would i do to introduce those minerals? Just

multivitamin or should i have them check blood work to see if he needs higher

levels? That is information that I have not heard of yet.

the Dallas area to get lab work done. Since then I've mostly relied

on myself to do research, I joined several yahoo groups of parents

doing biomedical treatments, learned from them and helped my son.

Even if you go to a DAN doctor, you still need to be the manager of

your child's health therefore you need information yourself.

The abmd yahoo group is an excellent resource, the mercury chelation

group is also a good one. There is a lot of internet support groups

that can really be very helpful.

BTW I have learned that some children with PICA have a mineral

defficiency. I have read that for some kids adding minerals like

Zinc, Magnesium, Selenium has helped them with their PICA. I am not

a physician, this is just information for you to research.

Best wishes for a happy and successful new year to you and your

family.

Until Nagla gets time to answer you, we've used www.kirkmanlabs.com in the

past with our son. The vitamin combo we used was Supra-Nu-Thera. You used

to be able to order a sample that was enough for 2 weeks for around $3.00.

That way you're not out a lot of money if your son won't take it.
