NAN...NATURAL CALM

[myrose]

Hello Nan,

 

I am waiting for my natural calm to get here. I ordered on line lastnight. I did the Natural calm instead of the kids calm for a few reasons but the mainly so I can take it with her. This may help her WANT to take it. It may even help me as well!!!!

Anyhow please update me on how your daughter is doing...I am so curious to know if it will have any effect if any on the tics and mood issues.

Also I think you are supposed to increase the amount until you have loose stool and then you know you have taken too much and then go back down slowly until the stool is regular again...and then this is your dosage that works best???

Maybe this is just for the magnesium supplemenmts alone? I will have to go back and read again.

Hi Wendy,

 

I am using 1/2 tsp of natural calm. I think I will start with that ; see how she does for a few days and then increase dosage if needed to 3/4 tsp. She has been on it for 3 days now . It is still too soon to comment, I think. I will wait for a week to see if there are any changes and post an update.

Not Nan here, but I just started giving ds a 1/2 tsp dose 2 days ago. I didn't know about how to increase it so I'm wondering when you should start increasing. Maybe take the increases weekly to give the system time to adjust? I'm hoping I see some changes/decreasing tics, too.

Hi ,

 

It has been 5 days since I started giving her the natural calm. I do not see any difference in her tics. I am not sure what this means - whether it does not work for her tics or I have to give it more time ?

 

Also - probably a dumb question - how do I change the "subject line" when I reply to a post ?

 

Thanks,

Nan

Hi Nan,

As far as I know, when replying to a post you cannot change the subject line, because all the replies have to show up under the same subject heading. You can start a new topic if you want to use a new subject heading.

 

As for the Kids Calm...

First, I would definitely give it more time. After months of doing her entire "program" I feel my daughter really stabalized over time. Five days is not much.

 

Also, as Chemar often points out, the various supplements, diet, and treatments WORK TOGETHER in a kind of synergistic effect. Even if you don't see a lot from magnesium alone, that doesn't necessarily mean it may not be an essential PART of treatment that works together with some other supplements.

 

Another thought... have you noticed it helping her in any other way? The tics are not the whole story, as many of our kids have issues with sleeping properly, OCD, etc. If the Calm is helping the sleeping patterns, it is allowing the body to be more well rested, which leads to better healing!

 

Not sure if you've been eliminating artificials such as colours, flavours, MSG, Aspartame, and BHT. (And pesticides, too, where possible.) I have found it is a VERY necessary part of our program to see success.

 

Hope this helps and gives you some ideas.
