Natural Supplements Overdose?

Let’s talk about a parent trying to do the right thing for their kid. Well in England a four year old boy wound up in the ER after taking dietary supplements. The mother said the boy was on 12 different supplements that had been recommended to her by a provider. And the list goes on and on, vitamin d, calcium, cod liver oil, camamilk, silver, blah, blah, they like literally the list of supplements a four year old boy was on is quite long.

I’m not surprised. This child had three weeks of vomiting, was loosing weight, had no appetite. And it’s interesting. We’re talking about how a lot of supplements and vitamins particularity if they’re fat soluble you can easily overdose on these.

And a four year old boy my guess was probably taking an adult dose. This stuff can get scary really quick. Obviously the mom’s trying to help right? And they think, “Okay, well if a little bit is a good thing. “Then a lot is a great thing.” And that does not work with supplements. You can get into big trouble.

Whether it be vitamins and an overdose of vitamins. But you can get electrolyte abnormalities, absorption problems, all sorts of myriad things, as a result of supplements, and I don’t think people realize that. I gotta tell you something. This story really hit me because this kid has autism and you all have heard me say over and over again my son has autism.

And when my husband and I were looking for ways to help our son, Marty, we went to a doctor that prescribed all kinds of supplements for Marty. We paid over $10,000. It wasn’t covered by insurance Like a naturopath? No this was a medical doctor. But I’m gonna admit this.

We went to her home. It wasn’t a medical office. We were so desperate for cures for our son. We just wanted the best for him.

And it didn’t feel right. As a lawyer I knew it wasn’t right, but as a mom I just. You’re desperate. You’re willing to try. Yes.

We were sending money out of state to a pharmacy that was sending us these supplements. And we got to the point where we were like, “We’re being taken advantage of.” Our son wasn’t getting better. It wasn’t helping us and we were just spending money. And I know lots of parents out there with kids who have autism or any disability some times we’re just desperate and.

Well I thank you for sharing that story. So thanks for raising this awareness and as parents we don’t often know. This practitioner I humbly believe should be brought to justice in one way shape or form. Or have their license revoked. A child is not just a small adult.

They have a completely different physiology. And so if you’re giving your child supplements understand they need to be designed for children. They need to be the right dosing. And they need to be from a reputable source.

Cause you certainly don’t want your child to end up in the ER like in this sad scenario. Thank you for sharing that with us by the way Rita. (applause)
