Rtinnova, thank you so much for sharing brands & routine. Personally, I'm not sure I trust brainchild products completely, for the price -- would prefer supplements from GMP certified manufacturer. One has to remember, unfortunately, how uncertain these times & products can be without regulation. I think I might like our current protocol -- things are working well.... So far. My 6 y/o takes kids calm multi, and that with a healthy diet supplies her with enough calcium, magnesium, b6, & zinc, plus omegas, ever so conveniently... We just can't top that, all in one bottle.
We occasionally add a drop of Biotics Research liquid vit d3, and Child Life vit c, especially for autumn & winter.... occasionally 1 tablet of b6 from Biotics Research. We also give her Attend now every morning, and so far, seeing great results from that. Wanted to keep "pill popping" as minimal as possible, seeing how we usually have to dose other things too during cold & flu season (smart silver, homeopathic allergy/sinus spray, collostrum, sometimes herbal immune support). We also take AMP w/ l-glutamine & probiotics daily for gut health. So far, with a great teacher included in the mix, we are now more able to positively apply behavior modifications successfully. (I think that's more crucial than anything in a bottle, but then you have to be ABLE to get the child to that point as well). Every child is different, which makes all this a challenge to figure out.
I think we've sort of abandoned the PS approach for now... Having seen minimal results combined w/ omega 3... Or put it on hold until further notice. We just found out from our very loved & respected nutritionist that since our dd has the herpes virus (cold sores on mouth - no we have no idea how she got this other than putting her mouth on everything when she was little) that this could play a HUGE part in ALL of her behaviors, and elevated neurotransmitter levels. He was all excited when he found this out, and kinda fussed at us for not telling him earlier. Herpes virus causes brain swelling, and camps out in spinal column. Hm... Who knew? So now we are going to add 500mg of l- lysine daily & make sure she gets those vit d drops more often. I see more research in my future. : )
*** we are gluten/wheat - free, and almost dairy free (refuse to give up occasional cheese & ice cream). I think we'd fall face down on the feingold diet, unless somebody could show me an easy way to accomplish it without feeling overwhelmed and conquered by an extremely picky eater.
