Guest guest Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Sandy - thanks for this info. Just curious about the doctors who do recommend ProEFA and EPA, does yours recommend a dosage? What does she think about the high doses many of us are using? Did she have any thoughts about the extra vit E? So many of us talk to doctors who think we are nuts for using these supplements, it helps to hear some details about the doctors who support it. Thanks! Kristi > > Hi All!

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Hi Kristi, Our developmental ped actually is the first one to mention giving my son omegas. I didn't know about it prior to her telling us. Then I came on this site and was floored by all the info I was learning! We live in the Washington DC area, and our dev ped is well respected and quite popular. She is brilliant in my book. She suspected apraxia when my son was 15-18 months, but just recently got the diagnosis at 2yrs 5months from our speech therapist. OUr dev ped has been seeing my son since birth. He was a 26 weeker preemie, so she knows him pretty well. As far as dosage.....she is starting him on 2 ProEFA Jr (equal to one ProEFA)2 times a day and 200 iu of d-alpha and 200iu of d-gamma once a day along with our multi. It doesn't seem like a lot based on what I have been reading, but I guess it is a start. We see her in October and she said that she will re-evaluate him to see if we need to up the dosage based on the progress or lack there of. We are also geting blood work done this upcoming week. Thanks! It sounds as if we have a good doc, so that is good to hear!!! Sandy > > > > Hi All!
