yet another intro

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

Let's see, my son, Max is 9.5yo with autism, hyperlexia, and colitis. Max met every developmental milestone at 24 months old - the ped even noted advanced language skills in his file at his 2 year well baby checkup. He got a late shot that day. Within 3 weeks he was gone. When my son was dxd, I put my (now 11.5yo) daughter into school, giving her her booster shots. She very quickly and dramatically got ADD and CAPD from her kindergarden booster shots. She is borderline Aspergers and gifted.

My son was dxd back in May 1998 and there was virtually nothing known in Florida about autism biomedically so I found funding and put together the 1998 conference mentioned early in EOH that the parents first went to and heard about the vaccine connection. We did several other conferences later in Florida and Minnesota.

My son reacted dramatically well to Ferring, Gaspretin and Secrepan secretins, GFCFSF diet, taurine, flagyl, and his colitis med, Pentasa. His biopsies show he is a walking petri dish for bacteria and he has live measles virus in his gut. We have the best doctors ~ El-Dahr and Buie. We love them.

I "moderate/incite" several email lists including AUFTHEWALL (not for the faint of heart or short of humor). I created what is now www.GFCFDiet.com. I founded the Autism Recovery Network of Florida in 1998 and am proud to say I have been listed on the quackwatch site for years. I still run that support group's email list and website but have moved this last summer to Gettysburg, PA for better services for my son. I live on top of a mountain, literally in the middle of nowhere, which is beautiful but the local schools simply are not equipped for kids like mine. I cyberschool Max already and will be cyberschooling my daughter next year as well.

Well, that's about it. We had snow this morning, which I am sure shocked my tulips to no end.
