Re: Supplements are not necessarily safer than prescription medicate

Sally,I’m not trying to make anyone feel guilty. We all have to trust our gut and do what we think is best for our children. That what I did. I didn’t always do things right and sometimes it was ten steps back before we went forward again. Similar to what Margo is experiencing now. It is so hard and tiring to keep at this day in and day out. But Margo’s son will be okay once the vitamin A level evens out. This is not permanent, just a setback, her post to this list probably saved many others from giving too much vitamin A to their kids. Over time I have learned that whenever my kid got a food he wasn’t supposed to have I would have him drink lots of water and increase his exercise. This helps speed up the system to get rid of bad stuff faster. The only reason my kid is better is because I was right place at the right time to learn about Dr. G. My son is recovered; not sort of recovered, but fully recovered and it wouldn’t have happened without Dr. Goldberg’s protocol. My son is in college and living a full productive life. I want that for all kids on the spectrum. I would love nothing more than to leave the autism world and spend my days going out to lunch or reading a good book. However, we all need to play it forward. I know how fortunate I am and that’s why I have a responsibility to help others, the way people helped me. The people on the NIDS list know Dr. G’s protocol helps kids improve and get better. Why would I stay on that list and only tell people who already know about it? It’s this list that needs to know about other choices. Stan Kurtz own child was treated by Dr. Goldberg. Maybe that is why he is better now. Margo did what any of us do. She did what she thought was best to help her child. I hope she stops beating herself up and doesn’t stop fighting for her son. She is a great mom who deeply loves her child and would do anything to help him. We all make mistakes at times, but we have to make decisions on the information we have at the time. That is what Margo did and I hope she knows how much we all admire her for what she was trying to do to help her son. Someone who works as hard as she has, should never feel bad about doing what she thought was right at the time. I know she needs to take a break from being doctor, teacher, protector and therapist all rolled into one and just be mommy. But please Margo, never accept your child can’t be helped or get better. Hang in there and know we have all been on the ledge where you are now. Never give up and call if I can help in anyway. Marcia Hinds805 497-8202
