I started giving Nicholas one cap of this today. This is an extremely hard softgel (yeah, you read that right) which I have to saw into with my big knife (Just what I want to do first thing inthe morning is use a knife on a softgel – thank goodness this is relatively big unlike […]

Capsules I just cannot open…
January 11th, 2009 
Mom I started Nicholas on two supplements and I cannot get these gelcaps open – without sawing into them with the sharpest knife in my drawer! So, needless to say, I will be looking for replacements. If you have any I should take a look at, please let me know! Now Foods Ubiquinol CoQH-CF Natrol Glucosamine […]
Added Aloe Vera today
January 9th, 2009 Mom I have been hearing good things from those with kids with gut issues that Aloe Vera helps so much, so I decided to try it and see. A big bottle was under $10 at Whole Foods, so I figured why not. I’ve been giving him one tablespoon per day and will try to fit in […]
Added Ubiquinol today
January 8th, 2009 Mom I’ve been meaning to add this supplement for a while. I had tried coQ10, but did not see any response from that, so I stopped that one a while ago. Today, I added 50mg Ubiquinol CoQH-CF – it’s a reduced form of coQ10.
Increased Inositol
January 1st, 2009 Mom I increased Nicholas’s dose of inositol from 2 scoops (1 gram) to 3 scoops (1 1/2 grams). I wanted to try this last week – I read about adding inositol to deal with OCD and wanted to try increasing Nicholas’s dose to see if it got rid of his current water obsession – and totally […]
Back on Claritin
January 1st, 2009 Mom I put Nicholas back on Claritin today and he had a fantastic day. I had taken him off for a few weeks to see how his allergies were doing and he really still does need it. Last year, 2007, he only needed it for a month or so, and this time, he’s been on it […]
Increasing Acetyl-L-Carnitine
December 29th, 2008 Mom Now that we’re seeing some great speech coming from the increased dose of the DMG, I have been ramping up his daily dose of Acetyl-L Carnitine since he’s been at a very low dose since I introduced it. By December 31st, we will be up to 635mg twice a day provided he does okay between […]
Current Master Supplement Listing
December 27th, 2008 Mom I updated some amounts to account for Nicholas’s growth spurt. 🙂 Vitamins & Minerals Multi Vitamin & Mineral Supplement MB-12 Injections – Every morning – works so much better for Nicholas than at night. These are by prescription only, compounded by Hopewell Pharmacy EfferC – 1/4 teaspoon 4x per day = 2350 mg Vit C […]
Increased dose of DMG
December 26th, 2008 Mom The past week, I have been ramping up Nicholas’s dose of DMG to 3 capsules three times a day (9 caps). As of today, we are at 9 capsules per day. Everyone has noted (without being asked) how much more he is talking. So glad they’re telling me, because I noticed it too – and […]
Update 3 on Enhansa
December 22nd, 2008 Mom Dropping the dose to 1/2 (75mg) per day was the right choice to make. No more crazy Nicholas. No more regression. Thank goodness. Only thing is that he’s still obsessed with playing with water like he was ages ago, but other than that, he’s doing really well.
