Re: Caudwell funding ceased - end of biomed for us

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Hello,

I respect that most parents will always feel the need to trial any intervention

that might be beneficial to their disabled child i.e trial and error. My logic

is that 'message therapy' is theraputic for all, disabled and non-disabled, but

I question this therapy being 'packaged' as TST. It makes what is an ancient

therapy somehow exclusive and similar to a 'patent' therapy for which it cannot

be as there are many books available on this therapy so its no 'secret'.

I've read the slant of 's posts for ages and its routine that can

post re TST on what is essentially a forum for children whose main diagnosis is

autism. For TST to grow as a therapy, its good to infiltrate the growning

numbers of autistic children, considering that in Advance Charity Commission

published accounts

http://www.charity-commission.gov.uk/Showcharity/RegisterOfCharities/CharityWith\

outPartB.aspx?RegisteredCharityNumber=1026049 & SubsidiaryNumber=0

showed net outgoing to income upto 31/8/10 and it would be interesting to see

this year's accounts thankful to TST being spread on forums.

There is a continued spread of awareness of how successful biomedical is for

autistic children. Biomedical conferences including the recent conference

certainly spread the knowledge of biomedical and it's essential that those new

and old to biomedical should apply for Caudwell if eligable to cover the cost

particular when quality supplements are sourced from US. Remember Caulwell helps

in other areas other than biomedical and TST as per this link

http://www.caudwellchildren.com/how-we-help/

Nice to see the Scotson Technique mentioned twice. Bottom line, most families

should try, if eligable, to gain Caudwell funding for therapies that should be

available on the NHS.

longer. They have ceased to consider me 'poor enough'? I don't know, but

whatever the reason, it means I and probably many others, can no longer afford

to help our kids by buying supps, etc.

being able to afford basic supplements (clean ones) is very frustrating and

leaves me feeling very guilty.

children biomedically is a very expensive venture if you want to do it with

'good' and 'clean' supplements (not Holland and Barrett type). A bottle of

kirkman enzymes runs at £75.00 quid for example and CP1 is £30 odd quid isn't

it?

supplements that you buy locally (not from nutricentre, etc) that are reasonable

can you list them? not only to help me but others who are struggling to pay for

it all. If you can buy them at Tesco/Sainsburys or even Holland and B, please

list.
