Guest guest Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 My 4 year old son has been making good progress on Houston's AF Peptizyde and Zyme Prime. He is also on the SCD. However, his attention span is still weak. Is there anything I can do to help him attend better in class? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 My daughter settled down alot with enzymes, but her teacher and aide have both seen a significant improvement again this year in many areas-including attention span-since I started Brainchild Herbathione over the summer. I had already noticed it at home, but its been great to hear their reinforcement. Magnesium seems to help her remain calmer and more focused as well. katherine > My 4 year old son has been making good progress on Houston's AF > Peptizyde and Zyme Prime. He is also on the SCD.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 I was just going to respond we saw wonderful progress with attention and focus when we started BrainChild's LiquiZinc, which I think contains a lot of the ingredients of the Herbathione that was mentioned in the other post? We still need results in that area, though, and I was just getting ready to call and order BrainChild's NightCal, which is a cal/mag supplement. My son does very well on the BrainChild products, so I've stopped messing around with other brands if we need something they offer. > My 4 year old son has been making good progress on Houston's AF > Peptizyde and Zyme Prime.

However, his > attention span is still weak. Is there anything I can do to help him attend better in class? Is he doing dairy with SCD? Also, while making progress on enzymes, was attention improved at all? If so, you might want to increase the enzymes a bit for about 1 week and see if attention improves more. If not, then look at something else. Since he is SCD, the artificials additives wouldn't be in the diet (right?). However, if you think the salicylates/phenols might be an issue, you can consider No-Fenol. Try the epsom salts and see if that helps. Or then consider something like the Brainchilds to add in nutrition that currently isn't in the diet. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 In addition to iodine, please seriously consider having your son's Vit. D levels checked. It's likely that they are low and supplementation, if you are not already, could make a real difference.JudyThey that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever. Ps. 124:1From: uxordepp <jprocure@...>Subject: attention spaniodine Date: Thursday, November 11, 2010, 1:40 PM Hi folks I have been asked to have a pediatrician see our developmentally delayed child. The request is coming from the speech and language pathologist who treats him at school (Our son is seriously speech delayed). She says his attention span (or lack thereof) is getting in the way of his learning from her. I have a suspicion the "R" word (Ritalin) is going to come up. Both Dh and I refuse to go this route. Period. We'll take him out of school first. I have not yet started with iodine but wonder if poor attention span might somehow be addressed with iodine. Not that I'm not willing to try other things, but I thought I'd ask. BTW our son is NOT autistic in any respect. Jaye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 Go see a pediatrician. You will have done what they asked for. Now it depends on the pediatrician's attitude, whether he has a better understanding that many boys take more time to develop, or whether he wants to adhere to what " society " is demanding. I would stay away from any kind of drug to make him " perform " better. You cannot rush the development of the brain with drugs. You could help him by finding fun things for him to do that grab his attention and through that speaking and learning will come. Society is always too much in a rush and want to " whip " every child into the " average " mold. Your child is unique. If I may I would like to tell you what I did with my son who has Asperger's syndrome, which is a high form of autism. He did not speak until he was 3 years old, and then it looked like the dam broke.Because of his condition he has a focusing/attention problem. I home schooled him because I felt public school would finish him off, and allowed him to develop his own interests. So he was free and without the restrictions of meeting the demands of a public school, and he found many interests. Because of this he learned to read, write and express himself and knew everything about the many subjects he was interested in. Too often the pressures of public school discourages many children's interests. Another option if you can afford it, is a private school who respects the developmental differences of all children and where they allow his strengths to develop, and help him with his weaknesses. --- > > I have been asked to have a pediatrician see our developmentally delayed child.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 Are you talking about allergies or lactose intolerance? For sure, lactose intolerance is going to be there raw or pasteurized. A point about raw milk is to build the immune system and prevent allergies through enzymes and probiotics. It also turns out that homogenization doesn't really help our bodies much either. -- >Hi , if you're allergic to dairy, raw doesn't help.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 Yes you're right about taking the enzymes-- they work for me. I don't think I realized the enzyme was present in raw milk.
