Dear Gloria and ,

Don't be discouraged. Years ago the " best pediatric neurologist on the East

Coast " told us that patterning was a useless thing to do for our daughter.

We, of course, ignored him, and patterned and had miraculous results.

Most of the medical profession is years and years behind in helpful things

to do. They are not the people to consult. I guess You know about DAN

doctors (Defeat Autism Now)? And to read about patterning: _www.IAHP.org_

(http://www.IAHP.org)

Have a good heart. Your son can get better -- can be healed!

with Love,

Francine

Hi Gloria,

My son has not been diagnosed with Autism, but has some of the behaviors,

Hand flapping, mild obsessions. He is dev. delayed with major speech delays, so

our situation is a little different. Our Pediatrician also thought the diet,

enzymes, etc. was a bunch of " hocus pocus " 6 years ago when we started the diet

and a little later the enzymes. Now she is amazed at the changes in him and is

always telling me that we have brought him so much farther than she ever

thought he would be. The diet and supplements you can do without a Dr, as we

did.

Now our Pediatrician will sign if we need a Dr note for testing or at the

school for them to give our son his enzymes. Just wanted to let you know that

you

dont have to be discouraged just because a regular Dr is not convinced that

the diet and supplements can help.

Hugs,

If any of us listened to narrow minded pediatricians then there

wouldn't be this list! My dd's pediatrician told us nothing was

wrong with dd for 2 years! She has PDD-NOS ultimately diagnosed

because a pre-school screening clearly showed she had issues. I

think all of us have run across doctors like that. Did she have

anything constructive to say? What procedures was she referring to?

Did she have any recommendations, suggestions? I would guess she

didn't because she is uneducated about biomedical.

There is so much hope! My dd has made so much progress with

biomedical interventions along with traditional speech therapy and

OT. Are you seeing a DAN! doctor? Have you read Enzymes for Autism

by DeFelice or Children with Starving Brains by

McCandless? Check out www.danasview.net. She recovered her son

diagnosed with classic Kanner's autism with biomedical.

Please do not let one person dim your hopes or spirit. There are

pediatricians out there that will support what you are pursuing and

may even help you along. We are all here for you as well.

Good luck,

Hi,

It's hard to read between the lines with emails....Was her response totally

negative or just a warning about doing biomedical therapies? I ask because my

two sons' (who are ASD) ped is not happy that we are doing chelation or have

stopped vaccines....However, they will write scrips for any tests we need. One

of the three docs said he understood as a parent that we need to know that we

have done all we can to help our sons. Plus he sees that they are doing very

well.

I have learned to have a thick skin with people who would other wise not

understand our kids...(They look normal....) or our therapies....

My response would be if to go with your gut....If the doc was just warning

that there are quacks out there, then I wouldn't take it personally. If they

seemed belittling or looked down their nose to you, then I would find another

doctor....

Sorry I couldn't be of more help...But I'm sure others will be able to give

you more insight. Good luck.

Gloria and ,

I agree that there is no " miracle cure " for autism, but a lot of

research and effort sure can make a huge difference.

As you go down this path, you will learn how doctors like your

pediatrician know precious little about the body and all of its

complexities. Unfortunately, these wonderful docs have left it up to

us to figure it out....

Pediatricians cannot give you hope. They

are hopeless when it comes to autism.

Only self-study and the Internet can give

you hope and, hopefully, success.

On The View today they showed a completely

cured, formerly autistic child,

or so he seemed. They also

showed a child still impaired at 17.

Stay around awhile and you will learn hope.

When we took my dd to the pediatrician because we didn't know what

was wrong, she said we needed to stop feeding her canned food and

excessive sugar. She didn't even ask us what her diet was, just

said that. No mention of autism, ADHD... nothing, just no canned

food and take her to the school district. After the school district

gave us a diagnosis of autism, we took her back and the pediatrician

looked her in the face and said, " yep, no eye contact. Education is

the only thing that will help, it will improve but not cure her. "

Lot of help that was.

As far as " no miracle cures " , your pediatrician is right. A miracle

is something that can not happen in nature. Biomed addresses issues

that are going on in our children's bodies that are affecting their

neurological functioning. This is not a " miracle " so much as it is

applied knowledge to help your child's body heal itself. It might

seem like a miracle to your pediatrician, because many doctors put

biomed and non-traditional forms of medicine on the same plane as

witch doctors and faith healers. It might take you awhile to sort

through everything. Sometimes I feel positively overwhelmed with

the assortment of different supplements, therapies and such that

people are utilizing. The diet and enzymes are a good starting

point.

[Guest guest]

There is no miracle cure for Autism. There are however, miraculous improvements

to be found with various treatments. Our children vary so much that what works

for one, may not work for another, or the dose has to be altered or administered

with another supplement, treatment, etc. It is amazing, when your child has no

language, refuses to be held, hates noise of any kind, lines their toys up

without actively playing appropriately with them, what you consider to be

miraculous. One treatment may allow noises to be tolerated that previously were

unbearable, another treatment may produce speech, yet another may correct a

bowel problem, either chronic diarrhea or constipation. In and of themselves

they are not cures for autism, but they are improvements and your child will

feel better for having healed to the degree that these things are possible. Dr.

Megson is the one doctor that said the truest thing I've found ( and I've

been at this for several years and have flown all around the Country). It took a

couple of years for my child to degenerate to this degree, it will take a couple

of years for my child to get better. No truer words have been spoken to me. My

child is Autistic and we get knocked back a step or two when he gets ill. But,

he is in 1st grade and he does beautifully. The only thing that distinguishes

him from his classmates are his blue tinted eyeglasses and tiltboard. And when I

volunteer in class and I help several students that write backwards, or have

other vision issues, I know they'd benefit from some tinted lenses and a

tiltboard too. Once your child starts to improve, you realize you'll settle for

nothing less, and you realize how you now have to double time it, just to catch

them up to their peers. It can be done, parents like us are doing it all over

the world, you are hindered only by your circumstances. You'll either overcome

them or you won't, but do not believe for one minute that it isn't possible. My

son was diagnosed severe autistic at age 3. He had no language, spun, banged his

head, lined up toys and was the developmental equivalent of a 6 mo. old on some

motor skills and an 18 mo. in other areas. I was told that I'd be lucky if he

ever dressed himself. Now he tells his 2 year old sister to " wait a

minute, you can't go out in the cold without your jacket zipped " as he zips it

up for her and puts on her gloves. Good luck to you. But don't look to general

Doctors for consolation, encouragement or advice. You'll have to find a

specialist, and it may cost you your house, many of us have blown through our

savings so many times that it's no longer existent, we're financially and

physically wiped out. But we are emotionally flying high on the days our kids

master a new task or lose a diagnose or prove a doctor or prediction wrong. We

don't stay high for too long, there is always something else to be overcome, new

ground to break or old ground to be recovered either due to illness, a food

infraction or supplement adjustment. But there it is all the same, progress.

Lack of hope from Pediatrician

We took our son to his pediatrician today, because our son has strep

throat. This is a new pediatrician that we are consulting. We advise

her that our son is autistic, then she ask if we where following any

therapy for him and we told her yes we are starting to introduce the

biomedical approach. She immediately told us to really be careful

since none of these procedures are medically approved. That kind of

put our hopes down, since we are new and starting with this treatment.

She has probably heard about some of the many kids who have regressed on the

DAN! protocol which includes too high doses, dangerous challenge tests, and too

infrequent dosing. Please educate yourself about AC's protocol and consider

using it.

But we all know how useless that is -- medically approved procedures

are what got us autistic kids in the first place.

She doesn't know what's talking about. Can you find a more open-minded

doctor, or at least use her only for broken bones and things like that?

Biomedical is not a a " miracle cure " , it's a lot of hard work, expense,

research, major balancing act, and often lifestyle change that for many people

results in positive results. (A miracle is a phenomena we can't explain... "
