WAS: Fish Oil Summary by in NJ / NOW: Vitamin E summary

[Guest guest]

I don't feel expert enough to sum up the vitamin E information, but I

can tell you what we are doing:

takes 1 Vitamin World 100% Natural Vitamin E 400 IU (d-alpha)

and 1 Vitamin World High Gamma Tocopherols (200 mg of d-gamma) in the

morning with breakfast and 1 of each again with dinner. We feel that

the changes have been subtle and positive, but others have experienced

a more dramatic reaction. We previously tried a formulation that had

the whole dose together, and we got very bad behavior. Keep in mind

that has made so much progress already that the school district

is re-evaluating him and may take away most or all of his services for

kindergarten. When you have a bigger problem, it's often easier to see

the results.

Key points:

--These are therapeutic doses and thus are far higher than the typical

recommended amounts. However, our developmental pediatrician feels our

dose is safe.

--This vitamin E stuff is very new, so you won't find a doctor

knowledgeable on the topic. You are using your own personal judgment

on this one. I asked our developmental pediatrician to test his blood

for vitamin E levels, and she declined because she wouldn't know how to

interpret the results.

--Use NATURAL vitamin E, not the synthetic form. If it says dl-alpha,

that's synthetic. You want d-alpha (no l).

Hope that helps!
