That wasn't me. I'm thinking about using antivirals, but trying to

figure out just which one to use to get motor planning & motor skills

gains.

Done EFAs. Done B12. Done martial arts & other sports. This is the

problem. It is coming to the point where he is going to be too far

behind the other kids his age, 10, to play organized sports. I am

looking for something to close the gap, & am interested in success

stories.

I was reading that EFAs could also help. And of course, eliminate trans

fatty

acids completely if you want EFAs to be really effective.

B12 and the other B vitamins could help.

I don't know how old your kid is but maybe martial arts (and probably

other

sports too) might help in this area also.

What about chelation?

Also, do you happen to know if he is low sulfur (or not)?

Chelation, off & on for years (5 -6). DMSA, added ALA, then just ALA.

Have tried sulfur booting supplements (NAC, taurine) & GSH. I couldn't

see a difference.

He was very young, 4, when we tried it. The teachers would not give him

proper attention, or touch him to show him what he needed to do. They

just went on w/ the class, & promoted him w/ the others. (they were

very interested in making money). I'm thinking our problems stemmed

from the " brand " of taekwondo we used. It was ATA. We had many other

problems from them, too. So maybe it might work for you if you really

checked into the school 1st.

My son pretty much refuses traditional therapies, such as PT & OT.

Therapists can't motivate him, & I don't really blame him. Nobody is

gonna have a contest at school to see who can do the best crab crawl, or

put the shapes back in the holes. We allowed him to chose between

sports & therapy. He chose sports. He tends to be heavy, & he has to

do something. Because he has unusual size (at 10, 5'8 " & 170 lbs),

coaches tend to overlook his deficits right now. We are coming to the

age where the coaches will be more interested in performance, hence my

interest in trying to find help w/ doing something different, such as

looking into anti-virals, or the immmune system, since I think we've

done just about everything else.

,

I'm also interested in success stories. My 10yr old son also has

motor planning and gross/fine motor skills delays. He's been too far

bheind the other kids his age to play organized sports for quite some

time. Some things we've done that helped a little (but not enough)

are physical therapy and theraputic listening. I was considering

trying martial arts and am interesting in hearing about your son's

experience with it. Thanks.

Thanks so much for all the ideas offered.

We have already tried chelation, supplements, diets (for about 6 yrs).

I'm ready to move on. That's why we're looking into areas we haven't

explored yet - immune system, antivirals.

Amino acids can be helpful for motor skills issues. Carnitine can be

especially helpful for the gross motor skills. There have been good

stories posted here about creatine for fine motor skills.

i too have bought virastop but havent used it. my son (8 1/2 yrs, 80 lbs) is on

td dmps every other day schedule. my DAN doc wants to use valtrex due to

results of immune panel (major viral issues).

does anyone know if you can use valtrex and virastop together? i am also on

the mb12/valtrex list group and will ask them too. i know virastop is an enzyme

and valtrex isnt.
