The biggest surges in speech for us came from ProEFA and DMG, B12 and folinic acid. I give my son a huge dose of Thorne B Complex everyday. The B's work well. There are many vitamins and supplements to try so it's good to have some tests done first and maybe see what's really going on with your child. His multi doesn't have iron or copper because he has problems with heavy metals. He also has yeast flare ups and a sensitivity to phenols and oxalates. Great Plains Laboratory runs all of these tests and Blue Cross Blue Shield covers it! Great therapy is the best though:)

Well, I've done some digging and actually SPEAK is not a good vitamin for our kids. There are cases of seizures, headaches, stomachaches and even speech regression. The amount of vitamin E is just way too high. Stick with Proefa. This stuff should be taken off of the market. I do respect the work of Dr. Morris and Marilyn Agin but they goofed on this one. Just wanted to get the word out in case you're using this product!!!

Vitamin E by: Kate
You will have to discuss it with your child's doctor & decide if the risks of taking a high dose of vitamin E is worth it. Taking a high dose of vitamin E can be dangerous in small children, and isn't necessasary to take excessive amounts. An appropriate dose of vitamin E is 100 mg for children under two and 200 mg for children aged 2-12.
Use only natural vitamin E (d-alpha-tocopherol), not the synthetic form (dl-alpha-tocopherol). A mixed tocopherol form of vitamin E is best because children need the gamma as well as the alpha forms.

SPEAK vitamins by: Anonymous
I started my 4 1/2 year old on SPEAK a/b a month and a half ago. She has speech apraxia and I'm trying everything that I can possibly try! I believe that this vitamin has truly helped her. She of course isn't where she should be w/ her speech YET but I do believe it has helped up her progress. Even her speech therapist said she could tell a big difference!!! :) She is up to four vitamins. a day and it doesn't make her hyper at all, she tolerates them very well. Hopefully this will help w/ your decision on wiether or not to stick w/ them. It's always good to get a 2nd and in my case 3rd of 4th opption:) Good luck and God bless.
