Need Help - ProEPA and sleeping

[Guest guest]

Has anyone else noticed irritability and sleeplessness when they started the

EPA. Last week I added 1 EPA, my son has been taking 2 Omega 3-6-9 for a couple

of months. Every since I have added the EPA he has been up every night

screaming and screaming for an hour before getting him to finally fall asleep.

He has always been a great sleeper and we have never had any sleep problems

before.

I did order the Nutriiveda today and I am a little worried about starting it

after hearing about some of the sleep issues that have come up for some.

Please advise - we are exhausted around here :-)

Thanks,

Gillian

Check with your child's doc but the best thing to do in a case like this Gillian

is reduce the dosage of the EPA or stop it -at least for a bit and then try it

at a lower dosage and gradually increase. The way to reduce it without stopping

would be squeeze out some of the capsule and then put the rest in a ziploc

baggie in the fridge. Also look at the time of day you give it -but that may or

may not make a difference.

As far as nutriiveda I actually know quite a few parents that have their

children on the nutriiveda morning and night doing really well- including

Tanner. Ruby also posted here that she noticed the exact opposite reaction -her

child slept better on the nutriiveda. Just like your child's reaction to the

EPA -there could be reactions that we can't explain. What we need to do is try

to weight the good and the bad -what's healthy and best for our child -work with

our knowledge together with the advice from our child's doctor and go from

there.

I just for example got off the phone with Cassandra (you can read her one update

here http://pursuitofresearch.org/testimonials.html ) and her son Joe used to

not go to sleep until after midnight -bouncing off the walls -but putting him on

nutriiveda he is asleep each night by the " latest 10 PM now " and she's thrilled

by that.

Now when she posts I am going to get blamed again. Her son as you'll read above

was doing amazing and her husband like many was doubting it could be from

nutriiveda -I mean I believe most here don't really appreciate how powerful this

stuff is in helping our kids and by human nature will credit the more expensive

and complex stuff they are doing. Well I as always told her to " take him off

for a few days " and she called me today in a panic because she didn't take him

off -but she put him on a half dosage for 2 days instead because " no way was I

taking him off " and she said all the things that had improved in Joe came back

and her husband freaked out and said " What's wrong with him?! " and she told him

that " told me to take him off " because " I wasn't taking the blame alone "

Well she'll update more -but as we know that's the only way any of us give

respect to how well the nutriiveda is working. And fortunately the surges come

right back once on.

So actually Gillian your message came at a perfect time because while most here

are still learning about nutriiveda -we've been using the ProEFA and ProEPA in

this group for about 10 years with no side effects outside of stuff like this

which is typically mild and temporary - and it shows that all of this is normal

for these kids once they are put on the fish oils or nutriiveda. Not that it

always happens -but can. Like I said the fact that we are seeing anything means

something is happening. But again for sure don't have the little guy up

screaming at night -I'd for sure just start him at a drop or so a day and work

up. Sometimes the body just has to get used to what's so healthy for it. Our

bodies are so warped and confused upside down from being tricked by processed,

hormone filled, genetically altered, and fast " foods " I mean think about it

honestly as a parent you are more afraid to try nutriiveda then to serve your

child something that comes in a fast food wrapping aren't you?! Fess up!

We are living in a world that's got a bunch of kooky things going on in it right

now -and to me the way to deal with that is to try to eat, drink, breath and

live as organic, pure, hormone and processing free as possible.

And like isn't this lovely?
