Guest guest Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 My son is 6 years old diagnosed with autism when he was 2. We have tried many things, starting with the SCD diet which he still is on plus lots of biomedical therapies. We also have not had much luck with DAN doctors. After we tried the vitamin A mega dose back on Jan 2008, we did see great improvements but about a month later he developed seazures and our DAN doctor slowly let us go. Now after some more testing because of the seazures we found out he is deficient on vitamin A,D and K. He takes all three every day but A and D are still deficient after many months. Another thing that happened was that after taking vitamin K his color and behavior improved. He started head bangging back in Nov 2009 and after he started vitamin K that went away. We stoped the vitamin K for a week and the head bangging came back, put him on it and it went away. Another observation we made is that after the vitamin A mega dose he devoloped small bumps all over his body and still has them after over a year. Recently his neirologist found he might have brain inflamation. His seasure medications don't seam to work because after a few they can't seam to fins one that will stop the seazures. He has 1 or 2 per week. We believe that he has a virol problem and that was why we were recomended and went to a DAN doctor but all she wanted to do was chelation. We never got any improvements until she relunctly told us to try the vitamin A mega dose. Sorry for the long post but I felt I needed to give some back ground. My question to anyone out there is: Does anyone have any idea why he is deficient on these vitamins when he eats food rich in all of them and also takes high doses of all 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
