Guest guest Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 Our son was diagnosed 11 months ago. At first, we used Super NuThera, but didn't see many results and he stimmed alot when on it. About 6 months ago we switched to BrainChild Spectrum II and within 4 days saw a different Henry. He became more aware, better cognition, and language improved very rapidly. Since then, we have moved on to Spectrum III and the improvements continue. On three seperate occasions we have stopped the Brainchild, but each time we do, his awareness drops pretty quickly. We start again and he comes back. The last time I stopped was because we started the SCD diet 7 weeks ago (Brainchild is illegal on this diet). Within a week Henry got foggier, not learning new words, etc. Without telling my husband, I started the Brainchild again. 4 days later he said " Henry's back... " . I am not affiliated with Brainchild in any way, but feel it is one of the most important components of my child's treatment. Two reasons come to mind why I think this might be especially effective are that all the minerals are chelated and the liquid formulation makes for easier absorption in my son's inflamed gut. Second, there is a small amount of ALA in it...maybe enough to chelate his brain a little? I don't know, but I am a devoted user and plan on continuing it, even though it is illegal on the SCD diet, which is also helping my son....Kim > I have been using Super Nuthera with my daughter, but have heard lots > of good things about Brainchild Spectrum.

Does anyone have any > opinions on the better of the two?? Over the past 2 years, the feedback I usually see is very consistent: the Brainchilds performs much better than the SNT. Even if the person saw some improvement with SNT, they see much, much more with Brainchilds. It is often reported that kids get very hyperactive, stimming, aggressive or other intolerance reactions with SNT, but you hardly ever hear of problems with Brainchilds. On a technical level, Brainchilds is 100% non-synthetic and doesn't have the really extra high B6 levels, whereas SNT is nearly all synthetic (if not 100% synthetic) and has really extra high B6 levels. I talked to Lange of Brainchilds over a year ago at a conference and he was explaining in some detail how he fine-tuned his products. He said his emphasize maximum sulfation in the body by balancing certain amounts of this, and different forms of that, and using some of this ingredient because it is synergistic with that...it was over my head, but he was very focused on the balance and forms of various ingredients. His daughter is extremely sensitive to supplements and he started out by trying to find something that would help her (I think he has 2 spectrum children). Brainchilds are optimized for ADHD and Feingold followers as well. Another difference is taste. SNT is said to taste very bad while Brainchilds are reasonably good. I sampled the cal/mag which has a very light milky-coconut flavor to it (I thought was good), and we use the minerals which has an 'odd' taste but not bad...just odd. But it completely disappears in juice. no taste at all. We have the flavored type but Brainchild makes unflavored as well. I am going to try the unflavored next time, but since the flavored disappears in juice, it isn't a big deal now. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 We used the SNT for awhile, but it made my daughter very hyper. After enzymes she could not tolerate the high B at all, but she is doing very well on the Brainchild and we haven't seen any of the hyperness, night waking, etc. Only good things. --- In , " tod_s_2000 " <tod_s_2000@y...> wrote: > I have been using Super Nuthera with my daughter, but have heard lots > of good things about Brainchild Spectrum.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 I've heard Brainchild's supply chain is very unreliable. some people have even complained of having had their credit cards debited then receiving no supps. Can anyone tell me if this problem has been sorted out? Thanks. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recieved my order 3 days later (midwest so that is good). Recently several people in the enzymes and autism group ordered and all received product very timely. I am trying the Minerals Only and it went over very well with the boys so I ordered again and also received it promptly. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
