Just to let those who are interested know that Dr Alexander Klimenov will be visiting UK from 2nd to 6th November. You can see him at Advance at East Grinstead (www.advancecentres.com). He practices metabolic therapy (mainly using amino acids) providing a drug free approach.

Can you explain a bit more about the therapy?
Thanks
Woulde it be possible to tell me how much it costs and what changes did you see in your son?
My daughter has PVL with the outcome of spastic dipleagia with total trunk involvment.
Thanks

A prescription is made (and supplements supplied). A prescription usually involves 8 to 10 stages with each stage lasting 10 days with a 5 day gap in between - the idea is not to make the brain dependent on the supplements, but to stimulate it to recognize its need for them and therefore utilize that already found in the body or manufacture its own. I suppose you could say this therapy helps in waking the brain up.
I have certainly found it helpful for my son.

How have you found this has helped your son? And are the benefits clearly different from those of the Scotson technique (which I believe you also do).
Thanks,

The Scotson Technique has strengthened Will's diaphragm, improved his breathing and oxygen circulation and obviously this has many follow on effects - his physical structure is much more "normal" and improvements enabled him to vocalize. The amino acid supplements just make him more "on the ball" - he tones up and gears up and although this tapers off a little when he stops the supplements, he never drops right back to where he was prior to the start of a course.
They are not cheap - the cost is in the region of
Unfortunately the therapy is expensive, but in my opinion worthwhile.
My son does not have a"normal" EEG for his age. He used to have much lower activity in some brain areas of certain wave types and very poor interhemesperical integration, this has now improved significantly and although has followed a normal pattern of development is immature for his age. The amino acid supplements have helped a great deal in this improvement.

Dr Alexander Klimenov is visiting Advance again during the week commencing 15th February.
It is interesting that Will's cranial osteopath (Stuart Korth) picked up straight away that Will was back on the amino acid supplements - he said there was so much more going on in the brain which gave him much more to work with. Will is doing very well at the moment.
