/- quotes from the book Children with Starving Brains

[Guest guest]

Hi and ,

I have started reading this book and found something very

interesting and wanted to ask if you have heard of it, here is the

quote:

" Dimethylglycine (DMG) is an important non-toxic supplement that

tastes good, as glycine is naturally sweet. In some children, DMG

will start activating greater language ability. Every child should

be given a trial of DMG, starting with one a day always giving in

the morning, building up to three or four all taken at once in the

morning if hyperactivity isn't a problem. Giving folinic acid 800

mcg along with DMG will ofter prevent hyperactivity. DMG does

double duty in providing the brain with a valuable and important

amino acid, and also helps raise immune system efficiency...

(folinic acid is the biologically active form of folic acid). "

This book is directed to Autistic children, however I am finding

lots of info that I believe we could apply to our Apraxic kids. The

author is a DAN! Dr.

I bought DMG (it reads N, N-Dimethylclycine Freebase - do you know

what that means? I was wondering if it is a syntetic form because

it has the N in front of it) and folic Acid today from the Vitamin

Shoppe (they did not have folinic acid) and have started on

it. The book also indicates that you should place the DMG tablet

under the tongue for better absorption, well Dani liked it, he said

it tastes like buble gum and it dissolved very quickly - I gave it

to him almost an hour ago and he is not climbing up the walls yet...

we will see. I wonder if the folinic acid could also help with the

hiperactivity experienced with Vit E? Any thoughts?

I will keep you posted. We did the blood work today, and I was so

proud of my son (he did not cry). I can't wait for the results.

Thanks and sorry for being a little lenghty.
