My take is the mouthing is the kid trying to work out pins and needle feelings.

These kids are smart. Their bodies are full of toxins,and virus. They are trying

to heal and survive. Perhaps the sup. is clearing a pathway. The kids have a

habbit of acting worse before a majore improvement. What is the suppliment?

What is IP6? I have heard of 5HTP sometimes being helpful for OCD, but am

not familiar with IP6. (We are considering starting Lexapro for my son's OCD

issues, but want to be sure we've explored all the biomedical routes first.)

Sue-

We tried it for 's OCD, because the 5HTP had only had a mild

effect (though it did help his anxiety quite a bit). I read some

studies that indicated that 1200-1500 mg/day of IP6 (inositol

hexaphosphate) is effective for OCD, and it did work pretty quickly

for .

Good luck,
