Our son Daniel is now 11. He was diagnosed with Dyspraxia when he was 5 after being "unsettled" and "disruptive" and "badly behaved" at school. He constantly suffered from ear and throat infections and was effectively deaf - so at shool he couldn't hear anything, he was bored and he acted up.
Whilst this was an upsetting time it meant that the school involved the Behviour Support Team in Plymouth and it was there monitoring of Daniel along with the SEN at his new school when we moved that lead to the initial diagnosis of Dyspraxia. Since then he has also been diagnosed with ADHD too.
Daniel has a number of challenges which affect the whole family, particularly his behaviour problems and education problems. We struggled on for ages with him being hyper and difficult to control. He suffered some depression and temper tantrums; on one occasion he pushed a chest of drawers down the stairs at his mother!
Luckily and thankfully for us we met someone involved with Glyconutrition. We were skeptical but we gave the supplements a go expecting no change whatsoever - how wrong we were. Within 36-48 hours Daniel began to calm down and his behaviour was more stable. We saw more improvement as the days passed - he slept better at night and he started to concentrate more at school. Fantastic!
BUT - even at this stage we were STILL skeptical! Its seems funny now, we WANTED them supplements to fail, EXPECTED them to be a con. We couldn't believe that something so 'SIMPLE' as SUGAR could make such a difference when the medical profession had no answers for us.
So what did we do? We stopped him taking them - whoh! Within 24 hours he was climbing the walls going loopy as my wife would say. He was simply back to his old manic level of activity and we had gotten used to the calmer, 'normal' Daniel. In fact we hadn't noticed how much he had changed - when you live with someone day to day you don't always notice the small things.
Now we are not saying the Glyconutrients have 'cured' Dan - far from it. Dan is still dyspraxic and ADHD and has many challenges - BUT - his body and brain work better and help him lead a more controlled normal life. He can concentrate at school and make more progress instead of falling further behind - he still needs the extra educational support but he can sit still and concentrate for much longer.
My wife, Margaret, gets great benefit from the hormonal support offered by glyconutrients. For a long time she suffered from tiredness, headaches, various aches and pains, sweats and some depression. For a number of years now she has been using the product and no longer suffers from the symptoms; except only when she runs out! Then usually within a few days she really notices things. The headaches are normally the first to return and then she starts to feel tired again.
More to come...
