I stair stepped her into each supplement over a 2 week period of time, adding each new supplement 2 days after the last to check for adverse reaction, with Piracetam, Noopept, and Huperzine A 1% being the last 3 added. I also spoke it over with her neurologists because she is currently on Topiramate to control her seizures. Her Dr didn't mind the supplements because she doesn't think they do much anyway(typical medical point of view). I asked the Dr about Piracetam. She said it's just a supplement. Ok, but here's the kicker. She is now weaning Zee off of Topiramate and replacing with Keppra to boost her appetite. Keppra = LEVETIRACETAM. I didn't say a word. They're both racetam drugs, with Keppra being much stronger and affecting the brain in a different way as most racetams do. But saying that one racetam works but the other doesn't seem logical to me. At Zee's 14 day mark, on all supplements(Curcumin, Neuroprotek, Neuropeak(ginkgo blend), Alpha-gpc choline, Smrutihills(Vacha/Jyotismati/Brahmi blend), Lions Mane, and ALCAR), she has begun to show signs of noticing everything and everyone around her. She has shown zero interest in toys since October when her seizures began. Yet 14 days after beginning supplements, she suddenly began pressing the piano keys on her walker toy. We thought we were imagining things, so I began recording. In the video, I ask her to press the piano keys about 5 times. Each time, she seems to think about it, then presses the keys on cue. That means that something is getting through to her now where it wasn't just 1 month ago. Yesterday, on day 16, she was standing up and playing the tiny piano like she was at a concert, lol. She's just pressing keys, laughing, and having fun. I couldn't believe that this is the same kid who just stood there in the same toy never touching it. I'm absolutely amazed and moving forward with getting the QRI harmonic laser device also. Because I can't afford it, I've started a Gofundme for Zee(Xiomara). We have raised over $300 in the past 12 days, so hopefully I can get it for her before Christmas. Thank so much for having this blog up and for telling me about that device. Not many have heard about it, especially in Maine. I'm hoping that if I can get one for Zee, that I can start a support group for other moms in our area so that they can use it on their kids too!

At 7, he just got tested as having a "superior" IQ. (He didn't answer one of the picture sections though, so the psychologist will try to redo that part another day.) At any rate, I would HIGHLY recommend using the QRI Home Laser Program... All those issues you mentioned, I've seen successfully addressed with the laser... If you are in Facebook, ask to join the QRI Home Laser Program Support group so you can see the testimonies for yourself. <br /><br />Best wishes!!Andi Durkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03651762223667606607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1989545445919628676.post-78777464721256219952017-05-16T17:36:41.645-04:002017-05-16T17:36:41.645-04:00Also, I might add that it seems as though you have...Also, I might add that it seems as though you have created your own "stack" that works for your child. Piracetam works better when stacked with other cognitive stimulating supplements and choline. The use of the different supplements all attacking the cognitive issues from different points made a winning combo for you. Congrats on being a diligent mom! I hope my diligence pays off too. Thanks again for the inspiration.

She is currently 15 months old and still not walking, talking, or sitting on her own yet. She has been evaluated as being developmentally on an 8 month old level. I remember being on Nootropics 3 years ago and how focused I was then. Then when I thought about her disorder and studied up on how Piracetam works, I searched for other mom's with the same issues. Your blog was the first I came across with day by day success. She is progressing but at a very slow rate. I'm praying for any new progress that will help push her forward. Thanks from Zee and Mommy in Northern Maine. ��Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1989545445919628676.post-86744257491994024732012-02-16T22:58:11.995-05:002012-02-16T22:58:11.995-05:00Oh!
