Wow , I don't know the answer to that question but that is awesome

news for you guys. I am happy for you about the fridge as well and being

able to keep him on the diet. I have been looking for a good multi and am

glad to know they will send samples. Thanks so much for the report and God

bless you.

I say this from an observation stanpoint since my kids have only physical

symptoms, and not behavioral ones... but from what I have read on this board

over and over is that so many of these kids get on the diet and heal their

tummies so they can absorb nutrients that they have not been able to absorb

before. So, because you have had him on the diet for some time - evidently

enough time to heal his tummy enough to absorb nutrients - your multivitamins

are kicking in nicely. What a wonderful experience for you!

I know just from my own experience with vitamins, one dose of my multi-mineral

liquid makes a big difference in my mood, so yes, you have definitely hit on

something there! That's wonderful!

OT - Started my son on Brainchild Supplements

A little while ago I posted at how I was feeling discouraged and the

lack of progress my son was making. I had said I thought maybe it

was time I put more focus on supplements for him. I had also

mentioned due to the loss of our refrigerator and all that was in it,

I may have to take my son off the diet. I just wanted to update you

all. The clinic where my son has OT and PT had a dorm-style fridge

they are letting my borrow for a month. The end of the month a lady

I work with is getting a new fridge (larger with all the bells and

whistles) and said she will give me her old one. I have been able to

keep my son on the diet but had to reduce the quantity of food he

eats until we get back on our feet.

The day before yesterday a package arrived with samples of

Brainchild's Spectrum Support multi-vitamins and minerals. I started

with the suggested beginning dosage yesterday morning before school

thinking it would be a week or two until I saw some kind of

improvement, if any. When I went to pick him up from school I barely

recognized him. He usually is on a swing expressionless. This time

he was smiling from ear to ear. His ABA therapist said he had the

best day in months. I took him home and he was in the best mood the

rest of the day. He also was very affectionate and would constantly

say mama to get my attention (he has only siad this a few times in

his life). I spent a little time with him in the evening and all he

would do is stare at me in the eyes. His eye contact has not been to

great lately so having him stare at me was really touching. This

morning he was still different. Usually when I get him up in the

morning he does not want to get up, is really grumpy and has to be

pushed to eat. This morning I walked in the room and he sat up right

away. I told him it was time to get ready for school and he stood up

raising his hands like he was waiting for me to change his shirt. He

has never done this before. I put a new shirt on him and he helped

more than usual. I sat him down to eat and he ate everything without

being prodded. Afterschool today I picked him up and spoke this time

to his classroom teacher. She said he was so much fun to be with

today. She said he was in a great mood and participated in all the

activities. I then took him to the clinic for OT and PT. He

willingly went this time without protest. When I picked him up, his

OT said he all of a sudden was willing to do all the activities they

were asking him to do. She also said she had to change his diaper

and he did not freak out (he has had a horrible fear of bathrooms

lately - to the point where he will scream just if he has to pass by

one). I don't know if all this is a coincidence but to have 4

different therapists whom did not know I did anything different tell

me he has been a different child the last two days really seems like

I have hit upon something. Can a multi-vitamin/mineral really have a

positive reaction so quickly? And to think I am only giving him 1/8

of the dosage.

that will be the dose(1/8th) that works best, more is not better with

supplements.

brainchild have several versions, what ones were you giving?
