Sam has been taking curcumin since the middle of July and I have seen huge changes. First of all he is now talking non stop and singing full songs. He reactions to heat and cold have normalized. He actually feels the cold now and I dont have to spend my time covering him up at night. His reaction to pain has also normalized. All good signs . Sam has started to do basic math just using his fingers. This was beyond him before. His comprehension has really improved and he is well able to take verbal instruction. He "gets" things so much quickly now. For example leaving on his shoes in the garden now its wet and cold . He clears his plate without being asked. I caught him trying to mop the floor and he is always sweep up and using the vacum cleaner if he sees some dirt from the dogs paws. He is quite a smart mouth when he wants to be too , shut up, go away and stop it being his fav phrases.LOL
Sam is 9 and will be 10 next month and we were shocked to learn he has actually hit puberty already. Our ped told me after examining him. His fine motor skills have also improved a lot !!!! Lots of progress and best of all Sam actually now seems to have the abiltiy to learn and retain , Katie xx Posted on 10/30/09, 04:10 pm |

Katie,
I also have seen hugh strides with Meg since she's been on curcumin. Her language skills have so improved and she is also doing things without being asked. I want to thank you again for all your research and finding out all these things that help improve their lives. Your a God send. Hugs!!!! Karen

I'm going to look into that along with the Ginko. Next trip to Walmart and I'm going to get both. Couldn't hurt!

To be honest the curucmin that you can buy locally does not cross the blood brain barrier very well and we really need for it to do this . You can buy specially formulated curcumin from www.longvida,com or international nutrition but its expensive. The best thing to do on a budget is to give locally bought curcumin and also supplement phosphatydilcholine or PC for short. This is the stuff brain cells are made from . Its not expensive but do try to get as pure a form as you cane with no extra ingredients. This PC can increase the uptake of curcumin and many other things like anti oxidants which we know our kids need desperately. So there is a much better chance that it will cross the blood brain barrier like our kids need. Gingko you can buy locally and use with no problems . Gingko is pretty vital for our kids memory and therefore learming. No age restriction on curcumin and its very safe and does NOT thin blood . Curcumin can be given at high doses. Start at 500mg and work up. PC can also be given safely at high doses. Gingko is 2.5mg per lb body weight. Katie xxx

Katie-What is the best/easiest way to get these supplements in the kids? Marcus has never swallowed a pill and I'm sure I won't be able to get him to do it. I've only purchased the Ginko so far. Until reading your post out here, I wasn't sure where I would get the others. Haven't googled them yet. Can I open anything that comes in capsule form and sprinkle it on food? What about adding it to liquids or would that work?

applesauce is fine , try to stay away from dairy with zinc as it may not be absorbed if given with dairy . Sam cant really do pills either so I just open up capsules or pierce gel caps. Another must is omega 3 which you can probably get in walmart also Terri,

Does Vedue have a website? Do you mind me asking how you used it eg how much did you start with and when did you increase it? I am going to starting Gingko w/ Ash this week. I would like longvida to be next.
