Guest guest Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Earlier today I was looking around searching for a message board about genetics. ( curious to know why spectrum conditions are so prevelant in my family and trying to make connections) Anyhow, I came across a board led by Dr. McCandless and was shocked to see that in order to join, one must purchase her book through her website. What gives?? This is the kind of crap that gives our main stream pedi's a good arguement. Now, I can understand that it would be easier if people have read the book so they are able to keep up with conversations and not asked questions already answered in the book. But if that was the case, it would be simple enough to suggest reading the book. It seems to be a terrible way to treat people who may have already spent their money buying her book elsewhere. I hope I'm missing something here because it just seems like a crappy thing to do and quite honestly leaves me with the feeling that this woman does not have our children's best interest at heart. I could be and certainly hope I'm wrong. What gives with this lady? Anyone know anything about her? Also, can anyone suggest any decent genetics websites or message boards? I'm a long way from being scientifically minded, so anything in plain, easy-to-understand English is my kind of place. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 She was the medical director of DAN for many years. She has a 13 yr old granddaughter on the spectrum. She asks you buy her book and discuss her protocol on her yahoo group. She does get on and answer quite a few questions. She has been doing a study in Africa on AIDS using LDN. She also has a yahoo group for LDN users on which she answers questions. > > > > Earlier today I was looking around searching for a message board about genetics.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 So here's the deal with McCandless. The list you are talking about is the list for autism in general and she asks that you buy her book in order to join because that is how she funds her research into LDN. My understanding is this: her portion of the book profits go directly to her research fund, she doesn't actually make any money off of it herself. This really is just her way of saying "Thank You" to those that buy the book because she no longer sees patients and is strictly in research now. So in essence, it really doesn't support your peds argument because *she* doesn't make one dime off the book sales. This is my understanding, at least. She also has a group called Autism-LDN which you can join without buying the book but the discussion is kept strictly to LDN and the moderator enforces that rule. But she is quite active on both lists, as someone else mentioned.As far as genetics, I think it was NOVA that had a show on epigenetics that was really easy to understand and incredibly fascinating. All the shows are online if you wanted to watch them (I just watched a really cool one on Stonehenge the other day).

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 I believe the other part of it is so that people are not asking questions that have already been answered IN the book as well From: Cheryl L. Sent: Sunday, December 12, 2010 9:22 PM To: mb12 valtrex Subject: Re: What gives w/ McCandless So here's the deal with McCandless. The list you are talking about is the list for autism in general and she asks that you buy her book in order to join because that is how she funds her research into LDN. My understanding is this: her portion of the book profits go directly to her research fund, she doesn't actually make any money off of it herself. This really is just her way of saying "Thank You" to those that buy the book because she no longer sees patients and is strictly in research now. So in essence, it really doesn't support your peds argument because *she* doesn't make one dime off the book sales. This is my understanding, at least. She also has a group called Autism-LDN which you can join without buying the book but the discussion is kept strictly to LDN and the moderator enforces that rule. But she is quite active on both lists, as someone else mentioned. As far as genetics, I think it was NOVA that had a show on epigenetics that was really easy to understand and incredibly fascinating. All the shows are online if you wanted to watch them (I just watched a really cool one on Stonehenge the other day). Cheryl ~http://www.gryffins-tail.blogspot.com ~@midian42~ Earlier today I was looking around searching for a message board about genetics. ( curious to know why spectrum conditions are so prevelant in my family and trying to make connections) Anyhow, I came across a board led by Dr. McCandless and was shocked to see that in order to join, one must purchase her book through her website. What gives?? This is the kind of crap that gives our main stream pedi's a good arguement. Now, I can understand that it would be easier if people have read the book so they are able to keep up with conversations and not asked questions already answered in the book. But if that was the case, it would be simple enough to suggest reading the book. It seems to be a terrible way to treat people who may have already spent their money buying her book elsewhere. I hope I'm missing something here because it just seems like a crappy thing to do and quite honestly leaves me with the feeling that this woman does not have our children's best interest at heart. I could be and certainly hope I'm wrong. What gives with this lady? Anyone know anything about her? Also, can anyone suggest any decent genetics websites or message boards?

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Agree and ditto Crystal's remarks. We've been w/ our DAN doctor for 4 yrs now but I noticed this summer on their new patient paperwork that they advise prospective patients to read Dr. McCandless's book and/or Dr. Bock's Book or Dr. Jepson's book so that prospective patients are prepared and understand DAN protocols at a high level before they walk in the door and are better positioned to have a productive discussion and make decisions on testing and therapies from day 1 when they walk in the door. I would imagine the same logic w this doctor's web site. > > I believe the other part of it is so that people are not asking questions that have already been answered IN the book as well > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
