Hi, I agree that the "cure all" hits are there...but look a bit deeper .... check out "Lecithin" itself (not the "sellers" of it).... I don't "sell" vitamins but this past week after the MDD and I agreed that Cory wasn't responding to the Sinemet or the Amantadine. I did start him on Lecithin (Shaklee) and as a "mom" I do see a difference ~ little things that add up. Like his "attitude", the spasticity in his legs feels more "loose", his speech is a bit more clear and the first thing I noticed is that he's sleeping better. I'm not a doctor just a Mom trying to help.... we all have to decide what's fact/fiction and the best way to "decide" which is which is to investigate the possiablities.... Though I have to honestly state that "I" would poke a bone thru my nose and stick pins in a doll if it would help the boys. My husband and I have watched the boys "change" from typical children into "our rugrats" it was/is a chipping away at their bodies that is very hard to adjust too (as you all know)...Just my 2cents. Take care and best wishes from an Elf in TN...Romona Elf wife to Tony (my hero), and mom to Tori (age 9, nda), Zach (age 7, multichallenged), Cory (age5, multichallenged). The boys have no definative Dx but several labels... nystagmus, strubismus, Dystonia, Parkinsonism, Asthma, Execma, Hypotonia, Spasticity....ect Collectively the Dystonia/Parkinsonism effects the boys from eyes to toes and progressing steadily. Currently Zach's taking Sinemet, Lodosyn and Cory is taking Gabapectin and just started on a trial period of Lecithin. He's also had 3 rounds of Botox, uses a walker or WC for mobility http://members.aol.com/Elf808/index.html Moderator for the Dystkids List(ette) for kids who have Dystonia or familymembers with Movement disorders.
