They have part of the interview on their web site: http://abcnews.go.com/2020 I sent them a note asking if they could post the whole interview, because they messed up which hour it was in.

I know the film crew was here in Ponte Vedra all day filming Dr.

Kartzinel for his token three clips. I thought was great, ABC

obviously edited it to their liking. My feelings were this... If I

was a new mom and heard

Autism is treatable and recovery is possible, I would have

immediately gotten on the internet and searched out more answers.

REMEMBER the old days, we were told autism was NOT treatable and no

chance for recovery? We

STILL did not take that for an answer, we seeked for thousands of

hours to find answers, to find each other and to find a Doc to get

in line...

This is going to be easy for Mom's to find out answers! I am happy

with Autism is treatable and recovery is possible, I have faith in

the Mom's out there and hopefully some pediatricians seeking out

answers.

My 2 cents!

PS LOVED seeing GENERATION RESCUE on ABC!!

After watching the show last night a friend said to

me, " well if taking milk & wheat out of the diet has a

such a dramatic effect, then autism cannot be strictly

genetic..its more like a sickness " I hope others

think along this line as well. Pandoras box is finally

open.

Maybe a dumb question...but, does an autistic person have to be lab

proven sensitive to gluten and casein to benefit (autistic-symptom

wise) from a GFCF diet?

I don't recall any improvements in my daughter when she was on the

ketogenic diet (for seizures). She had no bread stuff and very

little cheese. I think she was only allowed Monterey Jack cheese.

It was mostly whipping cream, butter, vegs, and meat. Sort of like

the Adkin's diet, but with a little less fatty meats. She

practically blossomed (physically, mentally, verbally) when she came

off of this diet, after being on it for 4 years.

I know a couple of families who saw improvement on the GFCF diet even

when all the lab tests showed no sensitivities to gluten or casein,

wheat, oats, barley, rye, malt flavoring etc. Obviously, it's anecdotal

evidence, but I've heard reports about better sleep, calmer behaviors,

more language as a by-product of GFCF diet, even when the lab results

gave them no reason to try.

Thank you. I will try to find a GF/CF diet plan and check it

out...see what I can eliminate or reduce without causing mayhem in

this house. :)

,

My son showed no sensitivities to

gluten and he had IgG, GI scope, blood tests, scratch allergy tests, etc. He

showed issues with a million other things though. BUT when I removed the

gluten totally and months later he stole something from someone with gluten he

has 3 different serious reactions. Projectile vomiting, absence seizures that

last at least 2 days and the new one tourette’s like hand movements. So

in no way do you have to test sensitive for there to be a huge problem. I made

a big mistake in waiting so long to remove the gluten. We’d been free of

a slew of things including dairy for years before that but I realize the gluten

was wreaking havoc on his system the whole time. -

Thank you. I will try to find a GF/CF diet plan and check it

out...see what I can eliminate or reduce without causing mayhem in

this house. :)
