Vitamin E Results

[Guest guest]

I started my daughter Meg on 400 IU of the natural vitamin E about 2

weeks ago. We're not super consistent with it or with the fish oils

anymore, but we have seen some results in the gross motor area.

Meg's been really interested in sports these last two weeks - way

more than usual. She's always wanting to shoot some hoops or kick

the soccer ball, and whoa! I'll tell you she's really really good

all of a sudden. She can shoot the basketball from about 12 feet

away (into one of those little hoops that's set up high enough that

she can't reach the rim), almost as well as me! She's able to aim

the soccer ball really well, and has figured out how to stop the

ball by putting her foot on it, then really quickly kick it away

with her other foot. She's also started dribbling (kicking and

running at the same time) and kneeing the ball. All of this has

just started since she's been taking the vitamin E. Meg had her

first dance class (tap ballet and tumbling) last week and did really

well. Obviously I can't tell if the E has helped since it was her

first class, but she seemed way more coordinated than usual.

Meg's never been diagnosed with a gross motor delay, but I've always

thought her mildly uncoordinated and clumsy and assumed it was

related to her apraxia. The Vitamin E is definitely making a

difference!
