HNI enzymes can work instead of gfcf for many kids.

Hello. I have a 5 yo DS who has been diagnosed with apraxia of speech.

We also had a psych eval that showed is IQ in the mildly mentally

retarded range. I am somewhat doubtful about the mmr diagnosis because

I don't think they got a good test due to the fact that my son would

not behave during the test. It has been over a year since the test,

and he was diagnosed with apraxia last fall. He also has really low

muscle tone and is weaker on his left side.

I started him on Carson DHA for kids on Feb 1, I was giving him 2

capsules a day, and the results have been amazing. He seems almost

like a new boy.

However, I don't really know how much fish oil I should be giving him.

Both our doctor and his speech therapist pooh-poohed the idea (of fish

oil) when I brought it up, but I started him on it anyway. The dose I

have been giving him is 2 capsules of 640 mg of fish oil, so 1280 mg

for a 38 lb 5 year old. Is that too high? I don't want to hurt him,

only give him enough to help.

We have him in private ST, OT, and PT. We have chosen to homeschool,

and I am wondering if there is anything that you all do at home to

help with learning to read and also with receptive language skills?

THank you,

Hi April,

I have a herniated T11/T12 and have the same thing, pain and tingling numbness

running around my middle back to the front. Its like having a bad stitch all the

time and mine is on the right side as well. I take neurontin as well and it

helps with the numbness but not the pain which is as bad if not worse than my

herniated lower disks. I walk around holding my side all the time and sitting

makes it worse. My doctor totally ignores this disk and I can sympathise with

you on this.
