Piracetam (Nootropil): Theoretically from its description it may be very
helpful in your son's case, and since it is non-toxic it might be worth a
try. Your physician should definitely concur and supervise you at first and
give you a prescription to send the first time you order it from European
sources to prevent it being confiscated at the border (rare but happens, and
9/11 may intensify that). I used to have it compounded here which is legal
but never found it as effective as Glaxo's Nootropil. I ordered a large
supply of the liquid for children at 800mg per teaspoon, but so far have
only used it in ADHD, Down's, and dyslexia; many good European studies have
verified it's non-toxicity and its effectiveness in dyslexia. However, I'm
quite cautious with the ASD kids, and they're getting so much other stuff
that I'm hesitant to add another nutrient to the mix unless I would see a
plateau in their progress, and fortunately that's not happening too much.
My treatment sense is to let chelation do its job, and then if there are
still issues, to get into further treatments such as piracetam. I would
certainly consider its use prior to the stimulants, since it is so safe
(stimulants are an absolutely last resort for me).
It is important for anyone who wants to use piracetam to know that it
will not cross the blood-brain barrier without being accompanied each time
it's given with phosphatidyl-choline or some choline compound. Jaquelyn

Jaquelyn,
My son, Jack is a 45lb, apraxic child w/ ADHD, would this be
something I should give a try, do I need a doctors prescription, what
dose. We have been chelating since February w/ great results but the
apraxia is a big problem regarding speech and the visual
overstimulation seems to be a problem with learning in a group. He
still is at single syllables w/ some initiation and some endings and
two syllable words like apple. The hyperactivity is pretty bad. I
cannot visit at anyone house because he runs all over the place, well
I do but I can not sit. My husband wants to put him on adderall but
I do not want to cause any more damage.
Thanks,
Oh and ANA can you tell me were to order it

It has also been beneficial for some of my Downs children. Unlessdyslexia
and ADD or ADHD is an issue, I would not believe it would benefitchildren
with autism, but as far as I know no studies have been done. It isknown to
help children with learning disorders and particularly dyslexia. Ihave
some adults who use it for sports performance, particularlydemanding ones
like golf, and those patients feel it helps their fine motorperformance and
stamina. Jaquelyn20FAQ
