| Supplements are regulated op. Ask your pediatrician b/f embarking on some home remedies that will probably not do anything. |

The body, including the brain, is chemically operated, and these vitamins, minerals, and nutrients are a part of what makes our body function or malfunction. Just as a severe lack of vitamin C can cause scurvy, and too much iron can cause liver failure, too much or too little of other things can cause other problems -- we just don't know the full extent of how the human body and brain work yet, especially not the brain.
So, maybe your child's symptoms can be altered with nutrition, maybe not. But don't mess with it on your own. Talk to a pediatrician and/or nutritionist. They do know some cause/affect relationships and are learning more all the time. |

| I would get your child tested with a blood test before giving supplements. D is very easy to test for. |
