When to add ProEPA

[Guest guest]

Hi !

Wow Noah sounds like he is doing amazing!!! Go Noah!!!

Yep -you are right on schedule if you check all my posts on this in

the archives. You have the first plateau where you increase to two

capsules in 3-6 months (they never really stop progressing -just go

to more of an apraxic normal rate of s..l...o...w again) Then they

surge again for another 3-6 months which brings you up in most cases

to around a year. They keep progressing but just " not as fast after

around a year (when for younger kids you will be only on 2 capsules

a day of ProEFA) and that's when you " increase to two capsules of

ProEFA and one capsule of ProEPA and you'll see more surges in a day

to three weeks again "

So...let us know. The increase in the ProEPA is reported to help

smooth out some of the older apraxic child speech patterns. Know it

worked like that for us! Tanner's surge was very noticeable and

within a week.

Also -as I've posted before once on the oils -you will have trouble

knowing for sure exactly the reason for the delays. Not just

ProEFA -but the right combo of Omega 3/DHA and EPA and Omega 6/GLA

(which ProEFA is one of the brand names that appears to be along

with Efalex and Eye Q) in Dr. Agin's words " seems to help the brain

rewire somehow " So children with PDD may present more as just

apraxic -children with apraxia present a bit more as a child with a

phonological disorder, or speech language impairment...or fill in

the blank. Take your child with apraxia on the oils to 7

professionals so you have a name to call it for each day of the week!

But as one mom to another -I could care less what you call it at

this point -if it can help to get him talking right -they can say he

was " just a late talker " (I'll know they are wrong -and can prove

it if I stopped the oils -but would rather they think they are right

than do that!!)

Awareness of hidden talents and abilities -appropriate multisensory

therapies and educating -the right oils -keeping self esteem high -

no verbal based IQ or receptive testing..and our kids are on the

path to bright future!

Happy Holidays!
