Advice regarding ProEFA and ProEPA

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone. I'm new to the group; I've been reading a lot of

postings over the last several weeks, but this is my first posting.

My 3 1/2 year old daughter a was just recently diagnosed with

verbal apraxia. She is for the most part non-verbal, but while

receptively she's lagging behind, she has made great stides in this

area. My wife and I took it upon ourselves to do our own

investigation as to why a wasn't speaking yet, as we were

becoming fustrated and not getting the proper direction from her

pediatrician or SLP. We came across the Late Talker book and it

unleashed a multitude of information that allowed us to take a

to the right doctors, ask the right questions, and present the

facts. and Dr. Agin, if you read this, God bless you for

writing this book; my wife and I had no idea what apraxia was before

reading your book. You are both truly amazing people who have

opened up and armed so many people with information regarding this

heartbreaking disorder that afflicts our children. Thank you from

the bottom of my heart.

Now on to my question.....

Based on the book, we started to give our daughter ProEFA. Not

knowing how much to supplement her with, we followed the directions

on the label. However to make sure she didn't have any side effects

(such as loose stools) we decided to start her out on one capsule

for a week. She handled it well and we added a second capsule in

week two. Shortly after that I found this group and started to look

through some of the postings and saw that some people gave two

ProEFAs and one ProEPA and that they saw great results. So about a

month after starting a on ProEFA we added one ProEPA (so she now

gets two ProEFA and one ProEPA).

My question is, am I uping the dosages to quickly? Should I have

kept her on a lower dosage for longer and not have introduced the

ProEPA? I know from my readings that it's difficult to actually

give to much fish oil, but it seems that the ratio of EPA to DHA is

important. Since we just started supplementing her I just want to

make sure I'm not hindering her progress because the ratio of EPA to

DHA is not correct.

The reason I ask this is because I read 's posting from just the

other day, May 31st(subject: ProEPA.) It would appear from the

's posting that where we stand right now (2 ProEFA and 1 ProEPA)

after one month, should take close to a year to achieve. I

appreciate your feedback and sorry if the information I'm asking is

repetitive; there a lot of posting to read through :-)

With Warm Regards,
