Dr. McCandless's book can be overwhelming and I had to read it in parts too. I go to her office with my list of questions too. We don't go again until March but maybe we can meet for lunch then. We go 2 times a year and keep in touch through emails and phone in between. I would go more often if we were closer. Ann Missy Feldhaus wrote: I haven't been to her off post office and probably won't. She has agreed to do everything for the kids on post that she would do for them in her office. Right now we have not seen her strictly for autism, I am working on that right now. She did let me know that the psych I wanted to see is now accepting military insurance so we are scheduled to see him on the 22nd. The first thing Dr. Bental advised me to do was to get a copy of "Children with Starving Brains". I had to order and recently began reading it. I can on;only read bits at a time because is just so surreal!! I feel as if I am reading my life as well as the life if my 14yr old. I already have tons of questions to ask her. When do you see her next Ann? MISSY SAHM to some special kids!!!

You are so lucky to be so close to her. Have you seen her yet? She observed Dr. Amy Holmes's practice before she retired and Dr. Holmes recommended her.We miss Dr. Holmes but she is the next best thing. She has gone out of her way to help figure out things if is regressing. She keeps up with the latest and knows her stuff.! She also has an off-base office that we go to.

I've been chelating her myself, and getting more educated by the minute. She is doing very well.

I took my 23 month old to Dr. about 3 weeks ago. I have decided not to take Aidan back to him for a number of reasons. Although he says he is a DAN doctor, he was very hesitant about any treatments besides the gfcf diet and b-12, 6 vitamins. He did not think vaccinations had any contributing factor towards autism. Lastly, he gave my son a prescription to Diflucan, which has made his tummy issues horrific! I decided to use Dr. Hicks out of Atlanta (really Wisconsin), and am so much happier with his service, even though he is out of state and costs much more. I will just use my normal pediatrician (Dr. ) for all other non-autism related stuff. On the other hand, I do know of another parent whose son is autistic, and she loves Dr. . You may just have to get a consult with him and decide for yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 I have taken my 3 year old to Dr. . He was great, he got me in the next day after I called and charged my $100 since my insurance wouldn't cover the visit. We had already started the gfcf diet, which he would have suggested we start...but I was going for guidance in the supplement department. He started us on multivitamins, enzymes, gluthiathone, pro-biotics, and DMG. He also gave us a prescription for Diflucan, to combat yeast issues most of these kids have, and as " izziart " says, that can cause stomach issues since it kills the yeast overgrowth in the stomach, and it has to come out. I haven't been back to him...it's been 2 months...he wanted to see me or talk to me every month, but I took my time starting each supplement so I could see what each one was doing for my child, and my child has been soooooooooooooooooooo much better, I haven't really needed Dr. . I have to admit, I do LOTS of reading and research and daily chatting with other mothers on the GFCFKids forum and other places, so I do not rely on Dr. totally. I just went to him to have someone who is familiar with the DAN protocol to consult with and to get prescriptions for biological interventions if needed. I hope that helps. > > Has anyone ever used Dr. in Augusta? > > Thanks, > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
