Re: was HALO-HBO-RPM-Soma now aggression

That must be so hard for him to want to say something and not be able to express

himself. I pray that he will continue to make progress.

When I said meds, I didn't mean psychiatric meds per se, just anything to treat

medical conditions ( like asthma). Doctors prescibe meds of all kinds like candy

and when somebody has side effects, most deny it completely. We have never used

any of the ADHD or other " psych " meds either...All of our interventions have

been through very knowledgeable DAN! practitioners and they have helped a lot!

Wishing your child continued progress!
