Kane takes a multi vitamin now but other parents have told be to try numerous other, calcium, magnesium, vit. c vit. B5 and 6 and DMG and Pycnogenol and Gaba. I dont know where to start or go. I noticed a lot of people mentioning Dr. Rimland but I have not figured out how to get in touch with him. Kane will be 3 in march and has extreme aggression, and hyperactivity on the ceiling and then some. He is better since we started the ABA in Sept. but it still is crazy. The self stim is really bad. any idea's will help. thanks jemi

Here's Rimland's site:

Kirkman's may be the place to start for supplements:

Jemi,

I visited a natrualpathic to help with what my girl needs. They did some testing along with questions and we were able set her up with the proper regimin. This changes from time to time with amounts and varieties of items but she seems to do well with a few of the Kirkman product.

Enzymes for food digestion, vitamin supplements to help with areas she is lacking and she's improved quite a bit.
