Re: vit. C for a child

Dear Sleepygal,

I suggest about 1,000 mg of vitamin
C for every ten (10) pounds of
body-weight. So if your son weighs
40 lbs, try giving him 4,000 mg
of sodium ascorbate crystals per
day.

But don't START with that amount;
Work up to it gradually. I'd start
him with 500 mg on Day #1, and
increase it each day by 500 mg
until I reached 4,000 mg.

He may experience some gas in the
early days, as his body adjusts to
the vitamin C. It's usually a mild
reaction, and one that doesn't last
long.

If he develops diarrhea, then you
know he's reached his bowel tolerance. Lower the daily dosage.

I suggest you use (as I do) vitamin
C in the form of sodium ascorbate
crystals (powder). I've been buying
my vitamin C from Bronson Labs for
more than 28 years. You want product
#50. Their order line is: 1-800-235-
3200 (www.bronsonvitamins.com)

Since your son is autistic, I also
strongly suggest that you buy him a
rebounder: a round, mini-trampoline
which he can bounce up and down on.
Rebounders are superb exercise
machines for anyone, but especially
for autistic children. The literature is full of stories about
children whose autism either lessened or disappeared after bouncing up and down gently on a
rebounder.

I live in South Florida. Two years
ago, I suggested to some snowbird
neighbors (people who use their condo only during the winter) that
they buy a rebounder for their son,
age 5, who had been diagnosed as
autistic. Their little girl, age 3,
often had frightening convulsions.

They bought a rebounder -- one with
a railing to hold on to -- and both
children began using it. Since
rebounding is great fun, they took
to it like ducks to water.

I saw both children just before
Christmas. The little girl is no
longer having convulsions, and the
little boy seems perfectly normal.
His autism has disappeared. He's
friendly, open, and warm. He now
interacts normally with people.

There are lots of rebounders out
there. Walmart sells them for $20.00. I bought mine, an expensive
one, from Al Carter's company. He's
the man who pretty much invented
rebounding. But in recent days, I've
heard good things about an intermediate-priced rebounder that
comes with a stabiizer bar or railing, and costs $119.97. I'm just
about to order one for a friend.
I know a woman who bought one, and
she loves it. The company is Urban
Rebounding and the website is:
www.urbanrebounding.com

I'll keep your little boy in my
prayers. Keep us posted if you
notice any improvement in his conditon after starting him on
vitamin C (and possibly rebounding).
