Vitamin E Oil Update

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone

I wanted to post a positive update about my son and the Vitamin E supplements we

started about a month ago.

I know this caused some controversy last time - but I think that was more with

the Vit E and Vit K that caused some regression with others kids - we just added

Vit E oil drops 1000 iu a day per our DAN's recommendation.

We have continued to see amazing growth in Chase. He is 3 1/2 and oficially

diagnosed with SPD/SID and apraxia. He is very social has good eye contact -

but has lots of problems with transitons and continuing the flow of

conversation.

Since the Vit E drops we have seen a language explosion - he is prob at about

100 words a day now, he has expanded on his words - sentences. Ex: for the

longest time when he would want something he would grunt - then he would say

" go " then he would say " come " He used " come " for a very long time - and since

the Vit E oil he now comes up to me or whoever he wants help from " come with me

please " then I will get up and he will say " thank you " - we also get a lot of " I

love you " out of the clear blue - when he looks at us and smiles

The BIGGEST change that I am thrilled about is he has started to finally answer

our questions. Most of the time I get a " NO " but he is acknowledging me and

giving me an answer. Example: " Chase do you have to go Potty? " " NO! " or he

will say " pee pee pee pee " and run in and go. He has even started to run in

from playing outside and yell " pee pee " and I say ok let's go - and he says

" help me " and we go - yay!!!! and always when he's done " yay we did it " or " way

to go " ....

He still cannot frequently answer questions like " do you want a red cup or blue

cup? " every now and then he will say the color red or blue but most of the time

he will point and yell " this one " - so we are just at the beginning stages of

having him start to answer questions.

One of the funniest things I have heard him say since the Vit E drops is he will

come upon his sister playing something and say to her " incredible " - Incredible

- where the heck did that come from? LOL....his overall demeanor is a lot more

calm - his circles are gone from under his eyes and he is for the most part

listening a lot better.

I have to add that this along with his other DAN protocol (GFCF) really seems to

be helping him - he has some impulse control issues and his attention can

sometimes not be the greatest - but my NT daughter is classic ADHD - Im just

wondering if this is what he truly has?? Only time will tell as he gets older.

We still have a long way to go - but were on our way!!!

Thanks for letting me share!
