No doubt about it, some of the DAN treatments carry a risk. No doubt

about it, children have died as have they in mainstream medicine.

Remember when mainstream medicine thought shock treatment and

lubotomies were a good plan?

Some of the DAN stuff involves looking at things at a cellular level.

For whatever reason, that is not a mainstream concern with kids with

neuro stuff, yes soft neuro stuff, who pass the first round of basic

testing that insurance allows.

As for the particular child who died in the story you mentioned, I

think that death occurred, if I recall right, because the wrong

chelator bag was chosen. Basically he was given an accidental

overdose. That can happen in mainstream medicine and does. It just

does not often make the news.

I am glad that story is out. It reminds all of us who even think of

alternative treatments to consider the risks. We need a better DAN

system with more studies. Until we get one we are stuck with Wisdom

of decisions and I don't envy any parent or doctor who has to

do that.

Honestly, most of us are not using the Playmate of the Year 1993,

Oprah, or autism press to gude our decisions. We are using our own

thorough research of information from areas mainstream and

otherwise.

I would think your school system would be quite pleased with your

choice. They get your tax dollars and don't have to provide your child

with services. Sounds like an ideal situation for them!

Actually , the schools get the resident tax dollars but are awarded

more money per special need child enrolled in school. So they really

loose if you homeschool or pull out or worse make em pay to send your

child out of district because they cannot provide the appropriate

education.

Perhaps Dr. Agin can give our loop some recommendations of other

neurdevelopmental peds that are accepting new patients and are along

the same method as she is. That would be helpful.

Our insurance has covered our visits so far but we don't find the

visits very helpful after the initial evaluations and to be honest the

last 'name brand' doctor wrote a report so sloppy I think he used

another kids eval for my son's template (because I found the errors and

made him fix the document with an amendment).

I have learned a lot from this thread!

Looking back at my post I see that it is unclear. I did not in any

way intend to specifically compare the services of a DAN doctor to a

neurological doctor. Obviously, they offer completely different

services. Although, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a DAN doctor

that was also neuro. I was only mentioning prices that I have

encountered in my search for treatment for my son - to kind of put

different costs in to perspective. I'm not sure why my posts suggests

that I disrespect neurologists and/or development pediatricians. Just

to set the record straight - I VERY much respect these doctors. My

son has seen 2 pediatric neurologists and 2 development

pediatricians. I'm a big advocate on getting second and third

opinions (that is why I see at least 2)!!

Also, for the record all of the DAN doctors I have seen are MDs. I'm

not a fly by the seat of my pants parent. Hence, the FOUR different

DAN doctors that I have seen. I, too, care very deaply about the care

that my son gets and I do as much research as I can for my son before

taking the advice of ANY doctor or anyone else (e.g. other

parents...).

I'm glad that you point out that there are quacks out there selling

themselves as DAN doctors. I truly hope that parents do their

research before going to any doctor!!

As I said my son has seen two pediatric neurologists. I also respect

my son's neurologists. Both diagnosed him with dyspraxia and did full

write ups for me. Both accepted insurance. With my insurance, my

visits cost me $30. I would have loved to have gone to see Dr. Agin.

However, the $2500 cost was too high for me to justify the visit. I

felt I could get what I needed from the other doctors.

Also, the autism death you refer to was a medical error. The wrong

drug was administered. It is even pointed out in the URL you posted.

My mom was administered the wrong drug in the ICU once. It left her

paralysed for several minutes until the nurse realized the mistake.

Unfortunately, this can happen with any doctor.

BTW - I tried the fish oils, vitamin E, GFCF diet, MB12 and various

other supplements. Honestly, looking back, I can't say that my son

was a responder to any of these. It seems, in my sons case, that

intensive therapy is the key to his progress. Although, since he has

made so much progress I wouldn't change one thing that I have tried.

Trust me, I don't enjoy rewarding them but I am not going to suffer

through the laborious and expensive process of setting things straight.

Cheaper, easier and more efficient for me to hiomeschool them, get

therapy and do NACD. I just don't have that fight in me on top of the

fight to get them well.

Their loss of income is why I did not put him in and try to pull him

out. It would be a struggle I am not up for. I'd rather lie low since

they don't know what they are doing.

Thanks for this list. Therapy did help my son with motor stuff but

not speech before diet but it was a much slower pace, like trying to

get a car to run with the wrong type of gas in it. There is, in my

opinion, no magic biomed thing that will somehow avoid therapy but

finding his diet and gut stuff will certainly (I hope) make future

therapy more productive and help us know what the proper therapy is.

He just tested positive for Lymes and we have to go for confirming

testing soon. Let's hope that is not part of our current deal. I

don't think I am emotionaly prepared for that.

I sure agree about the 'intensive therapy' point.

If I could list in order of what has been the most effective for my child's

recovery to date it would definitely look like this.

#1) THERAPY

a: Auditory processing issues/ ie. Listening program and digit spans: HUGE

difference in my child when we normalized this!!!!!

b: (gross motor) crawling/creeping/marching/skipping program (now he can play

sports without falling on his face, doesn't fall down the stairs and has better

visual/spatial awareness)

b: (same efficiency as above but different area so equal in importance to

current success) oral motor therapy including jaw strengthening, lip

strengthening, tongue oral motor work plus good chewing habits.

d: hand strengthening/fine motor work & deep pressure on arms and limbs

e: core strength development and development of mass muscle tone throughout body

core.

f: daily aerobic fitness to seal it all together and keep the maintenance of

overall muscle tone.

#2) DIET

a: Absolutely no casien, EVER! completely congests his hearing, messes with

his balance and creates brain fog for my child.

b: No artificial colours, flavours, msg..... clean up the diet and get rid of

the GARBAGE. We do our best here but he is 12!

c: Limit gluten to small amounts and consumed only with high quality enzyme.

Any sign of speech regression and we pull the gluten for a minimum of a week.

#3) SUPPLEMENTS

a: Digestive enzymes

b: Probiotics and coconut keifer water to heal the gut

c: Epsom Salts baths: an absolute lifesafer when child is having issues with

food intolerances that are yet unknown!

d: Power 4 by Genisis: a drink made from Gogi, mangosteen, acai juice and noni

berries. Provides 'instant' energy to low energy kids. I now drink it myself

and have unbelievable amounts of energy: great for the immune system.

The above provide 'immediate' results. Below, you really have to 'wait and

see'.

e: L-tyrosine, Phosphotidyl choline, DMAE, taurine: to promote focus in 'low'

attention kids

f: All of the generals: L-carnitine, Vit A, B (complex), C (high dose), D (we

live in Canada), E, folic acid, zinc, Q-10 & EFA's

Basicly.... that's how I healed my child. It is not as simple as it looks and

therapy requires daily persistence and perseverance to get completed. But my

boy is almost better now and the therapy really did the trick. Actually, curing

the auditory processing was 3/4 the solution to my child's problems esp with

school and with speech. Once we got that going, the remaining speech issues

have been quite simple to correct..... almost there now. The remaining

articulation issues are almost gone.... just a couple of items left to 'polish'

him off.

Then we will be working on 'organization skills' and 'math' (acceleration, I

hope) as well as working on writing speed. We finally have it legible after all

of the hand strengthening but he needs to get it faster so that he will

completely eradicate the dysgraphia. That's it folks! I pray that we are

almost cured!

A lot of growth in height (4 + inches over the last 3 months) and consistantly

better health with less 'bad' days.... no more constipation and bowel issues.

Pallor of skin is brighter and less wan looking. He looks healthy and vibrant

now instead of sickly and 'geeky'. There is a sparkle to his eyes instead of a

vague look.

I know that these are the 'anti-oxidents' for life and realize that my son is

not detoxifying his system well so I know that these are important to get the

systems 'lubed up' and working more efficiently.
