Guest guest Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 In praise of Dr G - he's just written the best letter to our paed in terms of clarity and transparency. It won't make a jot of difference but she can't claim she wasn't told in clear terms what's going on. I really take my hat off to him - there's no double speak just Tom has this, I'm treating him, I'm treating him like this, please get in touch to discuss further Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 This is a serious question, as I am wondering whether we may have to go and see him if the school becomes unhelpful re supplments and diet: does he normally insist on a lot of expensive tests and then expensive private prescription drugs? I ask because this would be outside my budget and there would then have been no point in having a consult. (And I know I am rather out of the loop, but aren't very long courses of antibiotics a bad thing - ruinous for the gut, for a start?)

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 I don't think he insists on anything. Why not email and ask before having a consult, avoid the risk? He doesn't set the cost of the drugs - azitrhomycin is a cheap drug (to the NHS), it's just when they won't prescribe that it's ruinously expensive. > > > > In praise of Dr G - he's just written the best letter to our paed in terms of clarity and transparency.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Thanks, and Mandi. I'll contact him.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Margaret, it's a massive new direction for most of us (the long-term drugs including antibiotics). I recommend Dr Goldberg's book 'the myth of autism' to get you started on this way of thinking or watch one of his presentations on line. I don't agree with all he says by a long way but I think the core of what he says is spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Hi, we are also thinking of going to see Dr Goyal, like some of you, would be nervous about antibiotics, what tests/results prompt him to prescribe or is he just going on behaviours? And I can't find his details for contact! thanks, Di To: Autism-Biomedical-Europe Sent: Monday, 21 May 2012, 11:48 Subject: Re: Dr G Margaret, it's a massive new direction for most of us (the long-term drugs including antibiotics).
