Go for Celebrity Power?

[Guest guest]

How about going to a high-profile medical doctor like Dr. Sanjay Gupta or Dr. Oz or even trying to bring this to the attention of The Oprah Show? How about trying to get in touch with McCarthy who has an autistic son herself, or Holly Peet, who also has an autistic son, seeing if they will lend this cause their celebrity power?

We are nobodies and may need celebrity power to generate the necessary attention to this issue.

Note: I do not want this taken out off the market as it apparently benefits children like Jack's son without any apparent side-effects, as of yet; but I certainly want it taken off the list of OTC medications, more stringent warnings placed on it, educating the pediatricians and other doctors to NOT USE it as the first line of treatment, especially for children, especially before doing any testing for any food allergies and other possible causes, etc., and to use it ONLY as directed (How difficult is that? I mean, we wouldn't take Tylenol, 2 tablets a day, everyday, indefinitely unless we want to head straight for liver failure!! The bottle says not to use it for longer than 10 days. How is Miralax any different!?)

I truly believe this as well. my DD was diagnosed with PDD/NOS. it is difficult to point out when he started acting outside of the norm but he was your classic bouncing baby boy. giggled and laughed normally. a little on the shy side. was delayed in walking by about 4/5 months. but our concern was he didn't crawl. he went from rolling to walking. it was only after we started that Poison that i started noticing the humming. but he still was just baby babbling so i couldn't tell. it was only when things started getting extreme that i wondered if Miralax was the issue. then i found this site. truthfully i would like to preform a study. maybe get some feedback and create a process in which to make an unbiased study for people to preform in their area's about this and many other issues. because we cannot trust the fox to guard the chicken coop. what you guys think? >> My Accupuncturist says out of the number of people she sees that have given > their children PEG, 75% of them complain that it made them autistic. She says > this needs a thurough investigation. I invited her on the board.>
