,

A hair test from Doctor's Data can give you lots of info. There is

help on line here, too, with interpretation. You can order yourself

through www.directlabs.com. Mention of autism gives you a small

discount. Many of us with sick children are finding the same family

patterns.

How about Jeff Bradstreet, MD in FL? He is one of the best DANs! out there.

You can order a DDI hair elements test on your own through DLS. If you mention

this group they'll give you a discount. I think you can order some of the other

DDI tests through DLS as well. How many mercury amalgam dental fillings does

your husband have?

I don't know. He does IV DMPS and doesn't believe ALA is a chelator.

Consider trying Houston enzymes and dairy-free probiotics..

I didn't follow the whole thread so someone may have suggested this already

but Dr. Cave is in Baton Rouge. She has been treating both adults

and children for what you describe for longer than most of the DANs out

there. We love her for my daughter and, little by little, she is helping al

of us (ie myself my husband and my infant son) figure somethings out about

our health.

I guess I think there probably isn't a 'perfect' doctor out there, you know?

What you'd be looking for is someone who understands the complexity of these

issues, and is willing to test. You can do the ALA yourself; and I've also

heard Bradstreet doesn't 'believe' in the hair test so you can do that on

your own too. Doesn't mean he isn't a good doctor, just means he may have a

few blind spots. Just my opinion

chelates - and doesn't see Bradstreet but hears he is terrific)

My opinion... A few of the people on this board need to get together, open

a practice and be the best source of information out there. You guys would make

a fortune!!!

Okay really, what I am doing is using doctors only for what I need them for.

They used me long enough, now it's my turn. I have a chiropractor, a homeopath,

and maybe a doctor on board (haven't contacted her yet, just found out about

her). I go to the chiro for certain things but not others. He has been very

helpful but I don't agree with his chelation views. I go to the homeopath for

her views on homeopathic remedies. The doctor I will contact if I need

something from her. My chiro can order tests so that will soon be helpful.

Then there is my beloved computer, thinking to name him ...! This list

and a couple others I am on are invaluable!!!!! Some of the people here I

almost feel like I know now. They are as precious to me as a family member.

They are always here for advice, opinions, support and even sometimes just to

tell you to get a grip! I love it as that is what I would expect out of a real

friend. I have learned SO much from reading this list, and have saved TONS of

posts.

Long story short, you don't always need a doctor. Getting information from

who knows best has been most helpful for me. You wouldn't ask a man how labor

feels...just like you also wouldn't ask someone who had never been around a

child how to get one to sleep who has colic. You ask a woman who has been in

labor and a parent of a baby with colic. Picking and choosing my help and

resources has really worked well for me.

Okay, not so short...sorry!
