Sorry this Leitch has attacked you, he is truly to be pitied.

Isn't there any way to get a slander lawsuit filed against this guy?

I know I know. I shouldnt even engage these folks...BUT.Baxter and I were mentioned on a recent blog of Leitch. JB and Barry and otherswould probably tell me to not even respond but, come on....Scientologyis the best they can come up with for Baxter's situation? Crazystuff! I am posting this here because he has repeatedly DELETED my response. See below. He likes re-writing history I guess. He should go to work for American television because he's sooooooo good at manipulating and deleting the facts to alter reality.... Read on:********************from 's blog:Awhile ago, I wrote a post the detailed the disturbing links betweenthe DAN! movement and scientology. It transpired that scientology –being a movement that is big on non psychiatric modes of treatments isa good fit for DAN! adherents. Both value detoxification for a rangeof things and it seems Scientologists have not been slow to ingratiatethemselves into the DAN! movement. So far, I've identified threeScientologists who are also DAN! Doctors. One of them was involved inthe death of a parent of a schizophrenic man in 2002.One of the darlings of the autism/vaccine movement is Berlewho's son, Baxter, was used in a Generation Rescue advert. Ms Berle isa frequent poster to various autism/vaccine groups.

If I may quote myself:Baxter Berle attended a school called 'The Learning Castle' which isan elementary 'feeder' school for the Renaissance Academy with whichit shares a campus (there seem to be about seven separate units oncampus all feeding the Renaissance Academy). Here's a little bit ofinformation about the Director of the Renaissance Academy, Ann Hazen;Renaissance Academy is truly bringing education back to life throughthe use of a full academic program, athletics, the Arts, a warm andcaring staff coupled with the brilliant study and educationalphilosophies of humanitarian L.

,

Sorry that you had to made a blog entry for Leitch. This guy

has repeatedly made a point to say that his daughter is off-limits

for him to discuss. He won't talk of her yet feels that it is ok to

drag other children into his childish games?

I find one postitive thing about this. Clearly, Mr. Leitch is

desperate. It is very obvious that these sort of " mini-conspiracy "

theories are all he's got (I thought that WE were supposed to be

conspiracy theorists).

Guess what, Kev? I brought my child to a DAN! doctor and I think

that she might be Catholic. She actually believes that Jesus walked

on water. She also believes that Jesus rose from the dead? Can you

believe that? Then, guess what? I almost fell for it when she told

me about a good Catholic elementary school down the street from

where I live? Thank goodness I had more sense

than to fall for that.

Oh my god, did I need to research this? My son's DAN is named Giuseppina Feingold. I'm fairly sure there is some interfaith action going on there. Does that change the effectiveness of the Calcium EDTA? DAMN! I thought I had everything covered!

Don't you mean " libel? "

Is it worth it? We're talking about an ineffective, fringe minority of

irrational (and possibly

mentally ill) people. There are so many more of us than there are of them. Our

time is

better spent raising money for research, lobbying our politicians and educating

other

parents and our children's doctors.

While we're out in the world doing all that, they're sitting at their computers

bitching about

us.

Who could take that seriously?

[Guest guest]

I had to discard all of the legal information in my mental database to make room for the medical. You're right, libel is written, slander is verbal, isn't it? You are also right that we should just ignore him but my 5 year old champion of justice personality makes me want to reach out and whack him somehow.

You know, this whole " DAN & the alternative religions " theory may be more

originally thought. Isn't Dr. Jepson (of Thoughtful House) originally from

Utah? Have

the Mormons invaded the DAN movement??? Heavens To Betsy!

Leitch is already " whacked " in any meaningful sense. You needn't do anything...

[Guest guest]

,

Baxter's story is an inspiration to all of us. The effort to smear you

by wrongly associating you with an easy to attack group - like

Scientologists - is contemptible, and is tantamount to slander. This is

typical of those who for irrational or hidden reasons want to block our

efforts to heal our children.

Thank you for fighting back against this kind of lowball attack.

You and Baxter deserve only praise for bringing your story of recovery

to all who are open-minded enough to listen.

With admiration,

Hey I know you are a lurker here:

So if my son was diagnosed by a Jew, and had the diagnosis confirmed

by a Jew, had speech therapy performed by a Jew, and was recovered by

a Jew following the DAN! protocol, which of-course was started by a

Jew, then the DAN! Movement, must also be a Jewish conspiracy out to

wreck your daughter's very autistic future? Right?

, I researched the origin of your surname. The history of the

name Leitch dates back to the ancient Anglo-Saxon culture of Britain.

It is derived from a member of the family who worked as a doctor.

Throughout the Middle Ages, doctors were known as 'leaches " as the

practice of bleeding sick people was the gemerally accepted manner of

curing them. There are countless people who died in the Middle Ages

who died thanks to the common cold; not because the virus killed

them, but because they bled to death non the advice of their

physicians. Bleeding was accomplished by placing a dozen or so

leaches on the person who was ill so that they could remove the

poisons that were making them ill.

Seems to me that you are doing an great job of upholding your

family tradition.

is a little dad hiding in England somewhere scared to death that

his theory that autism has always been with us is unraveling.

He has put his words in the public domain, and they will most

certainly come back to haunt him. The two most threatening things an

ND can never believe are:

1. We are having a real rise in autism cases

2. Children are recovering from autism and going on to live normal

lives

I'm confident and the approximately six people who post on his

blog under multiple fake names have seen the video of Baxter where he

is obviously a normal kid. So, their only hope to keep their make

believe world alive is to say that Baxter was misdiagnosed or there is

something more nefarious going on...

It's profoundly hypocritical that guards talking about his own

daughter (which I applaud), while calling out other people and their

children. This guy is a complete immoral scumbag, most of his

followers have ASD labels themselves, and he is a waste of all of our

time. More importantly, I have never heard of anyone who he has

actually convinced that autism is God-given and should not be cured,

so he serves solely as an annoyance, like a gnat in one's ear.

, if it makes you feel better, I had no idea you were part of

Generation Rescue or your son was in ad, nor would I care.

Secondly, this guy shows what an idiot he is because of using one's

religion as equating to their professional practice. Does this mean a

Church of Christ doctor who does a heart transplant does so because he

was baptized to receive The Spirit? Does this mean a Catholic is able

to design building not because of her architectural training but

because she said 10 Hail s?

He's an idiot. I know how you feel. Someone posted a nasty post to my

blog, claiming to be a parent from my kids' school, calling Allie

Helen Keller and a bunch of other nasty stuff. Of course, the details

of the posting make it clear this person has a connection to the

school system, but I won't go into it here.

Respond when you need to to make yourself feel better, then accept

there are just some stupid people in this world.

I find one postitive thing about this. Clearly, Mr. Leitch is

desperate. It is very obvious that these sort of " mini-conspiracy "

theories are all he's got (I thought that WE were supposed to be

conspiracy theorists).

Guess what, Kev? I brought my child to a DAN! doctor and I think

that she might be Catholic. She actually believes that Jesus walked

on water. She also believes that Jesus rose from the dead? Can you

believe that? Then, guess what? I almost fell for it when she told

me about a good Catholic elementary school down the street from

where I live? Thank goodness I had more sense

than to fall for that.

I have watched the videos of Baxter. He's a cute kid with autism. He

It is so sad that Leitch would attack such a good-hearted advocate and mother as Berle. We had and her recovered son Baxter speak at our conference last April and they were an inspiration to hundreds of parents. is not only dishonest, but desperate. I think he finds joy in making other people upset because it distracts him from the reality of his own life.

please know that what says is meaningless. Let him spew garbage all day long. WE know the truth. YOU know the truth. Anyone who has heard your story knows that Baxter is where he is today (happy & healthy) because you would not accept his dx and fought for his services and treatments.

His latest post is so outrageous, it’s borderline comedy. I guess when truth doesn’t serve his purpose, he just makes things up. If he is looking for a “set up” he should look no further than his own, sad reflection.

********************

from 's blog:

Awhile ago, I wrote a post the detailed the disturbing links between

the DAN! movement and scientology. It transpired that scientology ˆ

being a movement that is big on non psychiatric modes of treatments is

a good fit for DAN! adherents. Both value detoxification for a range

of things and it seems Scientologists have not been slow to ingratiate

themselves into the DAN! movement. So far, I've identified three

Scientologists who are also DAN! Doctors. One of them was involved in

the death of a parent of a schizophrenic man in 2002.

One of the darlings of the autism/vaccine movement is Berle

who's son, Baxter, was used in a Generation Rescue advert. Ms Berle is

a frequent poster to various autism/vaccine groups. Her signature

reads;

, mom to Baxter, recovered in 2005, Founding Parent of

Generation Rescue

As mum to a recovered child, Ms Berle's opinion is sought in many

places and she never stints from dispensing the advice she got far and

wide.

Baxter Berle was diagnosed (it seems) by Scientologists. If I may

quote myself:

Baxter Berle attended a school called 'The Learning Castle' which is

an elementary 'feeder' school for the Renaissance Academy with which

it shares a campus (there seem to be about seven separate units on

campus all feeding the Renaissance Academy). Here's a little bit of

information about the Director of the Renaissance Academy, Ann Hazen;

Renaissance Academy is truly bringing education back to life through

the use of a full academic program, athletics, the Arts, a warm and

caring staff coupled with the brilliant study and educational

philosophies of humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard.

Yup, they're Scientologists too.

So Scientologists had a big say in the diagnosis of Baxter Berle. What

about his recovery? I was recently forwarded this email by a member of

a autism/vaccine group Ms Berle is also a member of:

MY RESPONSE

,

How brilliant that you referred to me as a " darling. " That's pretty

much all you got right in your blog about myself and my son. First

off the two doctors you referred to in your post treated Baxter AFTER

he was diagnosed from 5 other sources (3 developmental pediatricians,

1 regional Center and 1 school district∑.I know nada of their

religious affiliations. For any of them). The doctors you mentioned

were not involved at all in his diagnosis at all. I merely went to

them for treatment. When my son's diarrhea was bright yellow and

running down his leg 35x/day and he was screaming 21 hrs/day and

rolling car wheels the other 3 hrs I did not ask, nor care (still

don't) about their religious ties. They wanted to help my son's

health and they both facilitated in his healing.

With regards to his school I can only assume you googled the name and

came up with this other feeder school. ??? ??? Because you are

completely incorrect. The Renaissance Academy or something? I have

never heard of it and we are in no way associated with it. It

astounds me that you get on this world wide platform and expound

" truths " of which you have no knowledge.

I am confused by your statement this is a " set up. " Set up for what?

I can only guess you are further functioning under your afore

mentioned misinformation. I respect that others don't believe their

ASD children to be toxic nor need chelation or any other biomedical

intervention. I do understand that autism has many different

definitions in our community and how one reacts to it is obviously

individual. Healthcare is also a very private choice and in my case

was made with a great deal of indepth-analysis, information and

thought with my spouse. You may not agree with what we came up

with∑.but it worked and really∑honestly Scientology had nothing to

do with it (Its very hard not to chuckle as I write that sentence!!) .

I felt very sad and very alone at the time that Baxter was diagnosed

and was very sick. I so wanted someone to reach out and offer a

shoulder to cry on. because Ii WAS crying. I was sad. I was alone.

And I was not crying because my kid was autistic∑my kid was not

different or quirky or unique. He was desperately desperately ill.

That is why I was crying. If I had sat back and done nothing given

his state it would have been within reason to call CPS on me.

So, I offer support and Baxter's story in case anyone could glean some

hope or possibly something to help their child as well. Come meet him.

He's a cool kid. He has no

supports/therapy of any kind, is working waaaay above grade level (2

yrs), has tons of friends and just won the game ball (baseball) this

past weekend. His first game. I wish you the best in your future

with autism∑with your daughter∑wherever you want to put you

energy. I respect it. I dont even ask that you respect mine. But it

would be nice.

Hey guys,

Thanks for all the replies.

I find it interesting that now 2 out of three of my orignal posts are

now back(after posting on EOH) his board. thanks to I took

pics of it on there...then off then on again then on again.

Ugh. Who cares.

I'm uncertain why the need to attack. I dont understand this aspect

of human nature. They go after JB and say his son is not " out there "

(but of course neither is 's daughter) but then you put your kid

out there, so-to-speak and thats fuel for fire as well.

So interesting that Bax has been evaluated by tons of professionals

with tons of tests and they (kevins pals) still say he's autistic.

Hmmm. ok. this from 3 minutes of video? I invite any of them to

come meet him. come hang with him. We have an extra bedroom. Come

play chess, read, do math , play ball jump on the trampoline, have a

sleep over with pals, laugh, snuggle....

what is their definition of a non-autistic kid? Maybe we're ALL

autistic. So my kid is into Star Wars...other NT kids arent? He

also likes track and field, music and sledding. Oh..and girls and

crosswords and his bunny rabbits and Spongebob and gymnastics. I'm

certain these are all autistic endeavors as well.

Sheesh.

I guess its easier to show anger than sadness.

Baxman- this is for you...

I am proud of you. I believe in you and nothing anyone

says...especially from 6,000 miles away, never having met you will

diminish your importance and beauty. You have altered lives and will

continue to do so with your very being. I love you. Your dad loves

you. You rule. Thanks for being such an incredible big brother to P

and E. The day I met you my world forever changed.

Love you Dude.

First of all- what is Prosody?

And since I’ve met Baxter I feel comfortable saying that he would TOTALLY pass for NT.

He is a cute kid- but does not have the dx of autism anymore.

SO you speak of prosody. Are you a Speech Pathologist? Come

evaluate him. I invite you. He can, does and will forever pass as

NT.

Oh yes- I forgot about that. I have to keep reminding myself that people like to pretend they are something they are not.

These ND people forget that MANY of us know each other personally- so when they lie about a child- we know they are full of crap- because we’ve seen them with our own eyes.

,

My college degree is in Speech Language Pathology. Have a dual

undergrad degree in SLP and Special Education. A Graduate degree in

Interpreting for the Deaf (Nationally certified interpreter)./

those credentials revealed:

Prosody in general refers to the intonation and tone of spoken speech.

What's-his-face-didnt like Baxter's prosody in front of 1,000 people

at the DAN conference and the Dateline cameras etc... Again. I

INVITE him (her???) to come and evaluate him. I'll film it for all

to see. His prosody is fine. He is in second grade and spends a

great deal of time in the 4th grade classroom where the teacher tells

me he is the best (aloud) reader she has ever heard. Paraphrasing

her: " He gives every character a voice....all questions have the

right inflection..I could listen to him read all day. "

Come meet my kid. Stop maligning him when you havent met him. Come

meet him. Come meet him. come meet him.
