>>>> Aluminum excess

malic acid is supposed to help remove excess aluminum. I use Source

Naturals magnesium malate for the magnesium, but the malic acid might

be a nice bonus. Interestingly, I bought a bottle of NOW brand mag

malate because the store was out of the Source Naturals. Did not work

as well at least in the mag department. Switched back to Source

Naturals and the constipation problem was resolved once again.

What antioxidants were suggested?

>>>Can supplements actually help your child be more attentive

and correct AS behaviors?

Yes, depending on what is causing the behaviors....if it is related

to a nutrient deficiency or poor digestion somehow. If it is caused

by something else, then supplements may not improve the situation.

Does your son sleep okay???

>>Sleeping has always been an issue, he just doesn't seem to need more

than 4-5 hrs.

Phenol intolerance is a common cause of sleep issues

Yeast can also be a cause

There are certain foods and supplements that can also cause sleep issues.

Enzymes can help, if you don't want to remove foods.

cause. I'm I missing something? Can supplements actually help your

I wouldn't be the one to provide feedback on your specific lab

results, but I can tell you that many " official " medical studies link

nutritional deficiencies to various learning disorders like ADD,

ADHD, etc. ABSOLUTELY supplements can make a huge difference in

attentiveness and " correct " behaviors. There was recently a study

that showed how zinc significantly helped kids with ADHD. We began

zinc supplementation right around that time and have seen enormous

gains with our son. The two other supplements that have been best

for our son are Houston's AFP Peptizyde and B12 subcutaneous

injections. Others supplements have had modest success, still others

have been huge failures. We test when we think we need more info,

and trial the supplements we think are best. Keeping a journal helps

us chart the results. HTH,
