Vitamin B6 and Magnesium for the treatment of autism

[Laura H1]

Here's a link on Vitamin B6 and Magnesium in the treatment of autism

Angi (Angeleena).... I have to "thank you so much" for continuously updating this board with how your dd is doing after starting the vitamins...

I had dismissed these supplements in the past because I just didn't have ANY knowlegdge base under my belt when I first started seeking out doctors and treatments for ds... plus I kinda thought Kirkman and the people recommending the vitamins had some sort of financial relationship... turns out NOT to be true...

Kirkman is the real deal... sigh...

anyway, your thankfully recent and persistent posting got me looking into this again... and I have the added benefit of having more knowledge regarding ds's "condition", and he is now willingly taking two supplements that have made a noticeable difference in his behavior... (one is Cod Liver oil and the other is a multi-vitamin... we use Nordic Naturals as through trial and error, it is the only one he accepts taste-wise and on a daily basis)...

Anyway, I wanted to post the above link in support of what you have seen yourself... now I'm off to figure out which "flavor" and "formulation" to get for ds to try...

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Each time you posted was just NOT the right time for me... today I had THE lightbulb moment... it clicked with what I was told a couple of years ago! YAY!

p.s. you also brought me back to a site that I haven't visited in a LONG time...autism.org... it is LOADED with relevant information and a concise search engine linking to outside relevant information...

It is amazing to see the changes in her.

Thanks for your kind note. It made my night. I read it to dh and he was excited too.

Sorry for bringing up an old thread. I just want to know how do I make the cocktails? I have an five year old autistic son. I just think it's my fault he's like this or maybe I'm being punished for something. I'm 29 years old and he is my first child. Just need a little help getting him to talk and get the vitamins he needs since he's a very picky eater. Do I buy all the vitamins mentioned above and mix in a drink? Like fruit punch or juice?
