I live in California. The deserted isle sounds kind of nice!

I am not a mom, but have been reading about various treatments

for " autism symptoms " for quite a while now--- maybe 3 years

or so? I have focused on metal detox, but I am aware of a

lot of other stuff and also I have used LOTS of " natural

therapies " on myself over the years. Is there something

in particular you would like comments on?

I recently tried " miracle rash repair " for skin itchies and

oh, I suppose to make you frazzled

Actually it is more likely because the allopathic-western-medical

folks in control here don't think any of the tests you want are

relevant. There are a whole lotta things they " don't believe in " .

Not fun. Can be expensive.

I determine eligibility for medicaid in Michigan. Because your child

qualifies for coverage based on disability is great. Unfortunately,

no state agency is in a financial position to cover many kinds of

test, treatments or even prescriptions. Adults in MI don't even get

dental coverage. Everything is decided by the state Legislature

which, of course, is driven by money. If you want change in your

state's medicaid coverage, please call your state

representative/congressman. Please call! We (workers in my office)

encourage everyone to call!!!
