Children's DHA question...

[Guest guest]

hi,

my 2.5 yr.old son has ASD and verbal apraxia. i mentioned to our

neuro-dev.pediatrician that we were interested in trying supplements

such as ProEFA. She recommended that we give Ian 1/2 tsp-1 tsp of

Nordic Naturals Children's DHA and 1/2 tsp-1 tsp of ProEFA. I

noticed that a lot of people have been giving something like: 2

ProEFA capsules, 1 EPA, and 400 IU vitamin E... haven't heard too

much about the DHA here so I was wondering if I should just do what

everyone else is doing and not follow what the pediatrician is

suggesting...why is she suggesting DHA? doesn't the ProEFA already

have DHA anyways? also, does it make a difference whether i use the

liquid or capsule form of ProEFA? the doctor doesn't seem too keen

on the vitamin E idea either, but we are really wanting to try it

since reading all the positive responses here...

anyways, if anyone has any suggestions/info., please help! i would

really appreciate it.

thanks so much,

ingrid
