Autism Supplements

I was at a breaking point. My 6-year-old son was having tantrums everyday over the most simple, everyday occurances that most kids could handle. Something wasn't right. Something was way off. His tantrums often turned violent and I would have the bruises and the scratches to prove it. Then he started lashing out at his siblings, even his 1-year-old sister. That was it. I was exasperated, angry and sad all at the same time. I was in deperate need of help for Ezra. During one of the screaming tantrums over the computer not working properly, I sat down in a heap on the tile floor next to my screaming boy and said a sincere, silent prayer. I would do anything and everything to help him. I knew that I would be led to find answers, but I knew it would not be easy. Thus began my journey to heal Ezra. After the tantrum subsided, I immediately grabbed my favorite health book off the shelf, "Perscription for Nutritional Healing" and looked up autism. (Ezra had not yet been diagnosed, but I was pretty sure he was autistic). This book is amazing. I read all the supplements that could possibly help autistic kids and it was overwelming. A few pages later I read that some of the most important autism supplements are Vitamin B6 and Magnesium. For some reason Autistic kids are deficient in these essetials. I felt in my heart that these are the supplements I would start with. It took a while to notice the difference, but after taking them for a couple months and then taking them away for three days at a time we noticed that Ezra would fall back into his frustration and screaming to handle his stress. There was something to these two missing vitamins, that were apparently missing in Ezra's system. They were working and helping him, but this was only the beginning in our quest to heal our son...
