Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 I met up with in December when I had a meeting in Florida. In my book...she deserved a personal hug and thanks for starting this site, allowing information to be easily distributed, and all the time and energy she has given this cause! We wouldn't have a happy ending without the info I got from this site and the Late Talker book. Everyone is so very busy. She was well in Dec when I saw her and her boys are great! I am working on getting an apraxia/autism study funded, so as I mentioned in a previous post - everyone will hear less from me too, because there is just not enough time in the day. However I see that many other families experiencing success with high-dose omega 3/vit E are helping to spread the word, and that is just great. (Takes some pressure off me, since I think this information really needs to get out to the apraxia community). I can't imagine ph trapped in a body that just wouldn't work for him (his old body)...looking at him now and realizing there is actually a clinical cure out there for at least some of these children. I will continue to post new information as I get it. One would think that with the extra time I have... no longer having 3X a week 1-hour speech therapy sessions, 2 special ed group speech (useless, but what the district gave us), and 2 occupational therapy sessions a week - I would have so much more time on my hands. What I am regaining is a little of my sanity, and realizing how much my other 2 children have been neglected by mommy through all this. It was so nice at Christmas to not have to explain to anyone " what is wrong " with ph. No one would believe we went through all this with him if they first met him now. He's totally fine and now excelling in his abilities. He goes on skis for the first time next week. I will post a summary of the information 50 of you have sent to me or posted (I summarized it as best I can, but this is not an ideal way to gather preliminary data from the scientific perspective...but you work with what you have). Some of you may see your own children's results in this. But it is something you can print out and give to your pediatrician for more information. I plan to write it up in a ped developmental journal at some point in the next few months and if/when something is published I will again let you all know. - > Haven't seen a post from since September.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Me, too. You always felt like you were getting expert comments when " Kiddietalk " popped up, right? Plus, I am still hoping for her expert input on Efalex re: its very high DHA and very low EPA, that some of us have been wondering about. Since she said that originally she might have worked with Efalex instead of with Nordic Naturals, but that Efalex was in the UK and all the phone bills, etc., were getting out of sight, I am wondering if then the focus would have been on a product with high DHA instead of high EPA. Or whether Efalex would have changed its formula to a high EPA. Not to be argumentative at all. I am curious, for one thing, but also I have been searching for a product similar to the ProEFA that does not contain lemon or citrus. EyeQ (Equazen) is a wonderful product and works very, very well, and their company is outstanding to deal with. But again, it is from the UK, and it gets pricey. This will change once they have a US distributor. But the three, ProEFA, EyeQ, and Efalex are referred to as those to use. So you see why I am confused about this EPA/DHA thing and how Efalex fits in with the other two products, since it is so different. I'm glad and family are doing well. I don't know how she could find the time to keep up with this site for so long. Without this site that she has spent so much of her time on, truly we personally would be absolutely lost. This has all been a miracle. Suzanne Re: [ ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
