If anyone out West still has time, she's on Regis and this

morning! She has a new book and is very inspiring! Such a sweet story.

She says that some people and kids don't respond to chemo or the diet

and vitamin treatment that worked for her. She said once she cleaned

him out- his speech came too!

I have been told in the past by some doctors that there are parts of

my daughter that will never improve- her weakness on one side among

other things. I have spoken to other parents who have been told the

same information. Her speech has improved beyond anyones dreams in the

past couple years. What we did worked for us. I have also heard some

local parents here where I am be told by school districts- your child

has passed all our tests with flying colors, he does not qualify for

services, his speech is way above whats needed and we think he'll be

fine in a typical preschool.

These parents are told the opposite of me and fight to keep any/all

services in place. Some do not want to pay for preschool or daycare-

but will tell you that is not their driving force! They go to new

doctors for a diagnosis and get new testing done where their children

continue to beat the scores- they still go back to the school district

and say we need more, more, more and my child is NOT in the average

ranges??? Than I am told -- there are some parts of your daughter you

will never be able to improve on. No one is happy.

I am beyond excited if parents can cure their childrens autism or

apraxia by diet and vitamins and avoiding vaccines! Than when they

accomplish it- are they happy to move on to where they get there or do

they say- no, we're not better yet. We still need more speech, more

services and a special needs school.

When we got her Apraxia dx the Neurologist told us= a diagnosis is

just words on paper. It does not change the fact that she's getting

intense speech therapy- it just might help guide the therapist in the

correct direction.

Sorry to ramble. just wondering what others think.
