I am one of these parents you speak about it your video. In addition to a strict dairy free diet, my kids have a daily smoothie which has varied some, but always has omega 3 oil, probiotic, liquid calcium supplement, vit E and B6. I recently tried added glutathione, adrenal support and infla-heal.

I feel like a dog chasing my tail, and it is almost impossible to measure what works and what doesn't. Sometimes I think things work for awhile and then stop working. How do you know?

@ycrozier You have to start from scratch. That's what I do anyway. One thing, one factor at a time (some factors have synergy so are introduced together). It's like trying to solve a complex algebra problem...the fewer variables in the equation at one time, the easier it is to find the answer.(usually)

Thanks DOC for the input.

I'm a father of a son with PDD.

Rest assured my son is responding VERY VERY GOOD thanks to vitamin D3 drops.

I'm sure every case is different though.

We didn't tell his therapist that he's taking 2000iu of D3. After 3 days of use, his teacher and therapeutic team noticed some positive change. eye contact etc..

thanks again DOC

@aeesonline I'm glad they're helping. Vitamin D is a core piece of my ASD protocol. HOWEVER, a child really should be tested first-- both 25-OH D and 1,25-OH D. There are some very real, very bad side effects possible if 1,25 OH is too high--AND-- the child is given more vitamin D supplementation.

Take them all off???

Most doctors don't even know how to prescribe supplements. They will say, eat this prescription pill 1 or 2 times a day and that's it.

Supplements and homeopathic remedies can and do help, especially when backed by the experiences of several hundreds or thousands of people online. At best, It would take years if not decades before a doctor even gets that published study. Sometimes, one has to survey the experiences of many and try a supplement without a doctors consent.

@pccchurch I hear your point---there are not enough doctors who understand functonal neurology, endocrinoloy, immunology or the neurochemistry of autism, Asperger's and PDD. HOWEVER, I see parents everyday who mean well but have wasted a lot of time, energy and money trying one thing after another (some things are making their child worse, but they didin't know)--I don't fault them for that. But that approach is not efficient and CAN prevent progress and recovery.

yes peeps kept telling me I eat too much sugar and chromium is good for high blood sugar. I took it a handful of times and each time I became deeply ill. It ended up lowering my blood sugar too much until I put more real food into me. My blood levels were kind of messed up and if I then ate something sweet I'd fell ill too like my levels were hypersensitive.

[aeesonline]

Hi again and thanks again!!

We are going to see what his vitamin D3 blood levels are. What should a normal child's level of Vitamin D be??

[clarkchiro]

Let me be real clear about this....

I am NOT saying that supplements aren't useful or necessary in autism recovery...they are a CRITICAL part of my program.

My point is that Nutrition and Supplementation aren't nearly as simple as many would like you to believe.

The differnt kinds of anemia are diagnosed through blood tests. ***WARNING*** the "normal" ranges the labs use are garbage...they are WAY too forgiving. That's why I use Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis.

Thank you for this video, I have been thinking about supplements for my son and now I'm turned away from it. My son hasn't been diagnosed with anything yet,but he has developmental delays and some behaviors associated with autism. I was wondering, how you know if your child could be anemic? He does seem pale often with dark circles under his eyes. His doctor tells me it's normal, but I feel like he is sick looking too often. What should I do?
