Re: Apraxia , ProEFA and Sleep Disturbances?? Vit K2 --

[Guest guest]

OK -- well this is interesting. I started giving my son K2 about a

month ago -- because I thought he was showing signs of high oxalates.

Hadn't thought about the fact that K2 was another fat-soluble -- have

been supplementing with A and E already....

Also switched to calcium citrate with magnesium citrate.

I have also viewed my son as responding too/ using up a lot of

antioxidants... -- which correlates here.

The mag/cal citrate should help with oxalates.

For kids that have long-term sleep disturbances, I suggest trying

melatonin before bedtime. Some kids just don't make enough of it

themselves.
