Guest Guest_efgh Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 Ronnas Just read your post in braintalk. Really happy for you that your son is doing so well. Can you please share the vitamin regimen that you follow for your son? do you give fish oil and B complex too apart from the routine vitamins? What are the supplements and dosages that you give your son. thanks a ton for your reply.
Guest Ronna Posted March 17, 2004 Report Posted March 17, 2004 Hello, I have gone through about a year of trial and error and LOTS of learning! The change in my son with supplements is very positive. For many reasons that I have stated before I am using Bonnie's vitamin's and I am very happy with how Kurt is doing. I have found Bonnie's vitamins to be a reasonable price and they are very convenient. We are fortunate that Kurt swallows pills with ease. Last November with the approval from Kurt's pediatrician we stopped all of Kurt's vitamins, meds, and antibiotics so that we could assess where Kurt was at and sort of start over. PLEASE EVERYONE...WE DID THIS UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF A DOCTOR SO PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS ON YOUR OWN. The withdrawl from the Orap was the hardest and it took about 4-6 weeks to get past it. There were times I just wanted to forget what we were doing and put Kurt back on everything but we stuck it out and I am now so glad we did. Kurt had developed food sensitivities from the long term use of keflex and clindamycin. I did a food elimination diet and he was sensitive to dairy, eggs, chocolate and corn. We did not have any of the bloodwork or tests done testing for candida etc. but assumed this was a problem given his symptoms and the long term use of antibiotics. We started by giving him: Herbal GI one capsule twice a day (AM + PM) http://www.rockwell nutrition.com/herbalgiformula.shtml It contains: Spotted Cranebill 75 mg Marshmallow 75 mg Slippery Elm 75 mg Bromelain 75 mg Star Anise 50 mg Papaya 50 mg Cabbage 50 mg Cloves 50 mg Peppermint 25 mg We gave him a probiotic from the above company called HMF Replete (he did not like this since it needed to be dissovled in a glass of water and it tasted awful). I have since switched to a good probiotic which comes in capsules. For myself we stay away from any probiotic with streptococcus thermophilus in it as Kurt seems to "react" to this. I gave him Citricidal one capsule twice a day (AM + PM) http://www.healingedge.net/store/biochem.html Colloidal Silver (must be a quality source)...I have experience with colloidal silver so I felt comfortable using this but would recommend anyone considering using it to read lots about it and use caution. Then I started adding vitamins one at a time so that I could be sure none would cause a problem. I added vitamins about every 3-4 days. I started with: 1. B6 (50 mg) zinc (50 mg)...it was the lowest I could find. 2. B1 (50 mg) Mg taurate (400 mg) 3. cod liver oil (2500 iu) 4. ester C (500 mg) Glutathione 5. evening primrose oil (500 mg) 6. Borage/flax/fish oil (1200 mg) Viatmin E 7. Manganese (15 mg) 8. Calcium (150 mg) Vitamin D 9. Vitamin B-50 compound 10. coenzyme 10 (Kurt does react to this so I do not give it to him...it made him hyper and he had difficulty falling asleep). Kurt was fine with all of these vitamins (except the coenzyme 10) so I decided to switch to Bonnie's vitamins for convenience as her vitamins had close to the same amounts of what I was giving Kurt and I felt better knowing Bonnie's vitamins had the right combination of everything. www://bonniegr.com/ http://www.geocites.com/Area51/5207/ts_mai...bonnie_sup.html Kurt is almost 8 years old and weighs about 60 pounds. I give him about 15 capsules per day split up into 5 capsules 3 times per day therefore he gets about: vitamin A 3750 iu vitamin C (Ester C) 375 mg Vitamin E 300 iu Thiamine

I give him about 15 capsules per day split up into 5 capsules 3 times per day therefore he gets about: vitamin A 3750 iu vitamin C (Ester C) 375 mg Vitamin E 300 iu Thiamine 75 mg riboflavin 75 mg Niacin 375 mg vitamin B6 75 mg Folic acid 75 mcg vitamin B12 150 mcg Biotin 150 mcg Pantothenic Acid 75 mg Calcium 450 mg Magnesium taurate 450 mg zinc 15 mg selenium 15 mcg lecithin 900 mg Grape seed extract 105 mg PABA 75 mg L-Glutathione 18.5 mg Inositol 75 mg For an essential fatty acid I use a product from Natural Factors called Learning Factors-School Aid which has a combination of tuna oil, evening primrose oil, vit E and thyme oil. A food elimination diet has been very beneficial and I limit dairy, eggs, corn and chocolate. As well we eat very healthy and we do not eat any fast food, coke etc. I limit the amount of TV Kurt watches as this is a trigger for him. Some general info about vitamins...(I am writing what was of interest to me and this is not an inclusive list of all of the benefits etc of each vitamin...) Vitamin A[ [/b] (should be given with essential fatty acids, zinc, vitamins C, D, and E). Enhances immunity May help heal gastrointestinal ulcers Is needed for maintenance and repair of epithelial tissue Important in the formation of bones and teeth Aids in fat storage Protects against colds, flu, and infections of the kidneys, bladder, lungs and mucous mebranes.Acts as an antioxidant and protects against cancer and other diseases. Antibiotics, laxitives, and some cholesterol-lowering drugs interfere with the absorption of vitamin A. Vitamin B complex should be given with calcium, vitamins C and E. The B vitamins help to maintain the health of nerves, skin, hair, liver and mouth as well as healthy muscle tone in the GI tract and proper brain function. B complex vitamins act as co-enzymes, helping enzymes to react chemically with other substances, and are involved in energy production. They may be useful for alleviating depression or anxiety as well. The vitamins work together, a deficiency in one often indicates a deficiency in another. Vitamin B1 (thiamine) should be given with Manganese, vitamin B complex, vitamins C and E. Thiamine enhances circulation and assists in blood formation, carbohydrate metabolism, and the production of hyddrochloric acid, which is important for proper digestion. Thiamine also optimizes coqnitive activity and brain function. It has a positive effect on energy, growth, normal appetite and learning capacity, and is needed for proper muscle tone of the intestines, stomach and heart. Thiamine also acts as an antioxidant. Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) should be given with vitamin B complex, vitamin C. Ribofalvin is necessary for red blood cell formation, antibody production, cell respiration, and growth. Together with vitamin A it maintains and improves the mucous membranes in the digestive tract. It helps with the absorption of iron and vitamin B6. This B vitamin is easily destroyed by light, antibiotics, and alcohol. Vitamin B3 (Niacin) should be given with a vitamin B complex and Vitamin C. It aids in the functionaing of the nervous system; in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins; and in the production of hydrochloic acid for the digestive system. It is helpful for schizophrenia and other mental illnesses, and is also a memory enhancer. Panthothenic acid (vitamin B5) should be given with a vitamin B complex, vitamins A, C and E. Known as the anti-stress vitamin," pantothenic acid plays a role in the production of the adrenal hormones and the formation of antibodies, aids in vitamin utilization, and helps to convert ats, carbohydrates, and proteins into energy. It is also involved in the production of neurotransmitters. It is needed for normal functioning of the GI tract and may be helpful in treating depression and anxiety. Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) should be given with potassium, vitamin B complex, and vitamin C. Pyridoxine is involved in more bodily functions than almost any other single nutrient. it affects both physical and mental health. it is required by the nervous system and is needed for normal brain function and for the synthesis of the nucleic acids RNA and DNA. It activates many enzymes an aids in the absorption of vitamin B12, in immune system function, and in antibody production. A def. in vitamin B6 can cause learning difficulties, impaired memory or memory loss. Vitamin B12 prevents nerve damage, maintains fertility, and promotes normal growth and development by maintaining the fatty sheaths that cover and protect nerve endings. Vitamin B12 is linked to the production of acetucholine, a neurotransmitter that assists memory and learning. Vitamin B12 supplementation has been shown to enhance sleep patterns, allowing for more restful and refreshing sleep. Biotin should be taken with folic acid, vitamin B complex, pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), vitamin B12 and vitamin C. Biotin aids in cell growth; in fatty acid production; in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins, fats and proteins, and in the utilization of other B-complex vitamins. Antibiotics, sulpha drugs, and sacharin also threaten the availability of biotin. Inositol should be given with vitamin B complex, vitamin C. This vitamin has a calming effect. It is important in the formation of lecithin and the metabolism of fat and cholesterol. Deficencies can lead to irritability, mood swings, and skin eruptions. Research has shown tht high doses of inositol may help in the treatment of depression, OCD and anxiety disorders, without the side effects of prescription medications. PABA (Para-aminobenzoic acid) should be given with vitamin B complex, folic acid, vitamin C. PABA is one of the basic constituents of folate and also helps in the assimilation of pantothenic acid. PABA can be converted into folate by intestinal bacteria. A def. of PABA mat lead to depression, fatigue, GI disorders, graying of the hair, irritability, nervousness and patchy aread of white skin. Sulpha drugs may cause a def. of PABA. Vitamin C should be given with bioflavonoids, calcium, and magnesium. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that is required for at least 300 metabolic functions in the body, including tissue growth and repair, adrenal function, and healthy gums. It also adis in the production of anti-stress hormones and interferon, an important immune system protein, and is needed for the metabolism of folic acid, tyrosine, and phenylaline. Studies have shown that taking vit c can reduce symptoms of asthma. It protects against the harmful effects of pollution, helps to prevent cancer, protects against infection, and enhances immunity. it can combine with toxic substances, such as heavy metals, and render them harmless so they can be eliminated from the body.Vitamin C woks synergistically with both vit E and bea-carotene. Alcohol, analgesics, antidepressants, anticoagulants, oral contraceptives, and steroids may reduce levles of vitamin C in the body. Esterified vitamin C (Ester C) is a remarkably effective form of vitamin C, especially for those suffering from chronic illnesses such as cancer and AIDS. Esterfied vitamin C enters the bloodstream and tissues four times faster than standard forms of vit C. Vitamin E should be given with essential fatty acids, manganese, selenium, vitamin A, Vitamin B1 (thiamine). it improves circulation, is necessary for tissue repair, and is useful in treating PMS. The body needs zinc in order to maintain the proper levle of vitamin E in the blood. Essential Fatty Acids should be given with vitamins A, C, D, and E. Calcium should be given with Boron, essential fatty acids, lysine, magnesium, maganese, phosphorous, vitamins A, C, D, and E. Magnesium needs calcium, phosphorous, potassium, vitamin B6, vitamin C and D. Manganese needs calcium, iron, vitamin B complex and vitamin E. Maganese is needed for the utilization of Vitamin B1 and vitamin E. manganese works well with the b complex vitamins to give an overall feeling of well-being. Zinc needs calcium, copper, phosporous,and vitamin B6. One thing that strikes me about prescription meds is that they are known to cause vitamin, mineral and essentail fatty acid deficiencies. Although meds do have their place I think so many are just over prescribed for convenience...a healthy, balanced body is so imortant and my son is doing very well with the above supplements. He got a cold in February which lasted only 2 to 3 days. This is the first time he has been ill in years in which he didn't go into a full tailspin. Everyone who sees Kurt lately comments on how well he LOOKS right now. Believe me he did not look WELL when he was on antibiotics and meds. I am sure I typed too much tonight but I guess I was feeling "chatty". Take Care, Ronna
