Re: new to the group and have a few questions.

[Guest guest]

Welcome to the group.

The practice in Melbourne gets mixed reviews...I think you are referring to

Dr. Bradstreet's practice. I have friends who go there; I have never been there.

What I glean from my friends is that they believe everyone needs to stay

GFCF. They are now promoting the doctor's own line of products and Kirkman's.

They

do a lot of expensive testing.

I hear the new PA is very good.

HTH,

Hi.

's DeFelice's book Enzymes for Autism is a great place to start if you=

haven't read it

already.

Also since you are in FL, this conference sounds really good to me.

Best wishes,

If this is the office that Dr. Bradstreet and Dr. Kartzinel work out

of, they are good doctors.

a hair test is the most useful but in reality you would do much

better to steer clear of the doctors office.

its just an endless tangle of tests to tell you what you arleady know

which is leaky gut, biofilm dysbiosis, minerals transport disorder

immune issues and low glutathione

all of which are best approached through the non medical route as per

this board.

a hair test can indicate unsuspected toxic metals and mineral

deficencies.

parasite tests are also useful

i think one of the major issues parents have diffculty with is the

modern diet is a literal ethipoan famine which coupled with lack of

skin vitamin d and cis a's and d in cream and high fluoride and low

iodine is just an ongoing disaster and until these are addressed

there is no hope of sustained recovery.
