i really really really want  to try it, i think it will be beneficial , and i dont see how ti could hurt its totally natural...

I have to say that until very recently I was one for not trying anything that wasn't medically tested (as in been done and approved and ALL physician's used).  But after learning about and even seeing with my own experiences all the wonderful uses of natural medicines and suppliments I am much more open minded.  I think that if you have researched this (and it seems as though you have) and you believe whole heartedly that it is:... 1.  not going to be harmful and 2. will be beneficial ....then I think you should give it a try.

I hope that you will keep us updated on any results you get.

well apparently its more communly used in australia than a lot of other countries so its been on the market here for quite a while, i have only ever heard good things, i talked with scott last night about ti and he said why not.. still i was hoping someone here had an experience with it..I hate to be a naggy pants, but please speak with your pediatrician before trying it.  If you're giving your child any other supplement, Brahmi could interact with it and produce effects that you'd be unaware of.  of course!! i was jsut saying to my friend that id have to consult Dr Hong before i jsut put jessi on anything willy nilly..but im excited about its possible effects on jessi.. take a  minute to read about it.. i also have read great things about it for use with adhd try searching in google for brahmi use for adhd not much about autism but im going to ask my ped about it anyways. i dont want to use "conventional drugs" with jess, but i think herbal remedies are far far safer for a developing mind and bodyMost conventional drugs are made from herbs/plants/etc.   (Sorry, but I felt compelled to say that!  If we're lucky, dh will one day work for a pharmaceutical company.) i was hoping for more dramatic results, but its well worth a try still.....my daughter is only 3yrs , since you DO use it, is it recommened for children that young? I try brhmi  as an ayurvedic drug for last 3 years  for my nine yers old son . But i have not seen any dramatical change in my sons beheavier . But it helps to improve his social  skills . runa38651.506412037
