Guest guest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 I see amazing calmness and my son does so well with these two things. When I stop them, he does not do nearly as well. Jule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 I give my son Bcomplex and calcium and magnesium citrate. I believe the magnesium and calcium help him with his immunity. He had severe asthma 1 1/2 years ago, and pneumonia 2 1/2 years ago. Now we don't have to use his inhaler much at all. I do the Bcomplex hoping to catch all his B deficiencies. He is finally starting to learn with the help of a private tutor. I think the supplements help him to stay focused for 2 hours of tutoring at a time. We had a problem with teachers letting him do nothing all day at school, because they thought he was getting frustrated. Lorraine -------------- Original message -------------- From: " trmckenna1 " <trmckenna1@...> Hello everyone: I was wondering if any parents on here have supplemented with Vitamin B6 and magnesium for apraxia. If so what changes did you see? Thanks Tina http://www.autism.org/vitaminb6.html Parent reports also include: improvements in attention, learning, speech/language, and eye contact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Perhaps a better question is who on here is using Kirkman multi- vitamins? And what improvements have you seen since you started? Tina > > Hello everyone: > I was wondering if any parents on here have supplemented with Vitamin > B6 and magnesium for apraxia.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 I give both, and have for several years. I didn't specifically start b6 or mag for apraxia (more because it is recommended for autism), and I can't say if either had a direct impact on language. My kids have improved dramatically over the past 3 years, but I use other supplements, dietary restrictions, etc. - I didn't add b6 or mag in isolation. B6 is important for the folate cycle. My kids both have abnormally low levels of both b6 and mag without supplementation. Calcium and magnesium can be calming. I would give some calcium along with magnesium. Improving your child's nutritional status can potentially improve symptoms, and of course a healthy child is better able to learn and focus. Many children with autism are helped by b6 and magnesium. If you go to the Autism Research Institute's webpage, I believe there is a report from Dr. Rimland about his son's dramatic response to high dose vitamin B6. > > Hello everyone: > I was wondering if any parents on here have supplemented with Vitamin > B6 and magnesium for apraxia.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 I had a similar experience. Years ago I read a book by Bock called something like " Treating Your Child's Asthma Naturally " . I started some of this supplement suggestions, including B6, and in three months my son was off all his asthma meds and doing fine. He hasn't had an asthma attack in 3 years. > > I give my son Bcomplex and calcium and magnesium citrate. I believe the magnesium and calcium help him with his immunity.
