Nine year old son with cerebral palsy

Posted By Melissa (Ashville, Ohio Usa) on 11/27/2012

Hello - I am an RN recently introduced to holisitic medicine and wondering if you have any supplement recommendations for my 9 year old son with CP. Two weeks after birth, he experienced right brain insults - resulting in affected speech, occasional drooling and left side hemiplegia. He is currently on a daily dose of Genotropin and weighs just 53 pounds. He has severe constipation issues and is having difficulties in school with reading and math. Alpha G has been recommended, in addition to hydro colon therapy. Any thoughts?

Melissa: A good begin is a high potency multivitamin/mineral w/ whole foods, with every meal. This will crank up metabolism of body and mind. Extra Magnesium seems appropriate for both muscle contraction as well as constipation. Mag oil therapy is helping thousands of people w/ an array of disorders.

You will want to research the many "nootropic" nutrients being used for brain support. Latest on the list is Coconut Oil. Omega 3 Fatty Acids, SAM-e, Lecithin, Acetyl Carnitine, Vinpocetine, Huperzine A are just a few you would want to consider.
