Re: 12 month old baby with developmental delays

[Guest guest]

She might not be getting enough vitamin D. If she is only getting

breast milk with no extra vitamin D, that could cause problems.

Polyvisol with iron has vitamin D and is often recommended. Kristy

I would try a combination of the Geier and Geier paper,

Cave's book, and pointing out that MD's are not unbiased reserachers in

this instance so one has to question the journal papers, especially

since for some of the more widely quoted ones a lot of the parents are

on the web telling everyone who will listen why the paper is wrong and

how the doc's doing the research ignored them.

I would suggest a copy of Dr Cave's book " What Your Doctor May

NOT Tell You About Children's Vaccinations " .
