Tips from the parents at the Around the Dinner Table forum

*   For reliable pharmaceutical advice, parents can always reference Medline
*   The use of Fish Oil supplements and other sources of Omega 3 fatty acids comes up often, “I certainly think that the inclusion of a healthy amount of fats and oils in our daughter's diet played an important part in her recovery.”
*   On the topic of sleep aids one parent posted this caution, “Sleeping medications cannot counteract the harmful effects of an inadequate BMI, even though they can help patients improve their sleep patterns and mood”
*   Several families have explored biochemical analysis and supplementation at The Pfeiffer Center
*   Parents have also explored Homeopathic/Naturopathic treatments in this post, cautioned that “they might not benefit from these kinds of therapies until they are fully weight restored, and here in a longer discussion.
