Re: Very Confused about Chelation issue

[Guest guest]

Anything indicating GI issues? I've been trying to get somewhere with my son

for years, and when we finaly adressed his stomach pain, we saw very dramatic

improvements. He had intense stomach pain, along with intermittent diarrhea and

constipation.

There are some children that take over a year to start responding. `The

longest time it has taken for a child to respond has been two years but that is

a

rarity. There are at least 10 subgroups of kids with autism. There are kids

that are normalized in a year and others that take 4 years. We have seen this in

our clinic also. I urge parents to consider this. Kathy -NNY

few years ago and didnt care too much for him. i'm currently searching for

one in the los angeles area and try this again. i DO believe in the gut/brain

connection! vicki

Long Beach. His office is either in or near Children's s Hospital in

Lonb Beach. We're very happy with him. Good luck! Argie

,

I am new to this group and need some help. We also do tests for our

ASD kid in GPL and live close by GPL. We do like them as it is run

by a highly respected and regarded bio chemist.

I want to know if you know of any sort of group meetings of /

Dr.G's protocol in our area as I am interested in Dr.G's protocol.

You could send me an e-mail in this regard.

Thanks
