RE: my regular pediatrician

[Guest guest]

- Great news to share! I've had that same experience with several

doctors. My oldest was born with torticollis (neck) and plagiocephaly (head

shape issues). We did helmet therapy, pt, craniosacral, chiro, and I was

always educating and working with others with these issues because it isn't

something they see every day, at least as bad as our case! Now my second

with severe food allergies, it isn't every day you get a child with this

many allergies, testing even positive blood and skin as a 9 month old, he

had issues with breast milk even. Doctors just don't see this stuff as much

as you think and they are just fascinated when they see this kid. But guess

what? That is why they call it practicing medicine. They just don't come

out learning and knowing everything and honestly, I would think any doctor

good doctor should keep their mind open to learning and listening to parents

and have found many open to " alternative " medicine. The knowledge to gain

in life is endless, and gosh, look what we learn here from each other. Love

it!

I don't have access to a DAN doctor and spend a ton on enzymes so for me

working with my local ped/school, gaining support, and here, well..doing my

best and thanks.

my regular pediatrician

After my daughter started with her wild behaviors and the sore throat 10

days ago, I got an appt yesterday with our regular pediatrician. I showed

him the abnormal yeast metabolite results from Drs Data, and some of the

information I've collected about yeast and bacterial overgrowth. He was

familiar with the concepts but not a 'believer'. He listened to me, like he

always does and gave me a Rx for 28 days of Diflucan at my request. He has

been great to work with. He has noted that my daughters behavioral and

cognitive changes are dramatic since we started the enzymes, supplements and

GFCF diet. He asked a lot of questions in particular about GFCF and enzymes

and what the theories are about it and how long we'd been on each thing. I

was very pleased to share what I know, and he said he can see for himself

what a difference there is. He has always respectfully told me what the

mainstream medical world says about various issues, then I come back and

show him results that

are not always in line with the research he is familiar with. We had a long

talk about gut health, normal and abnormal bowel movements( oh joy), neural

receptors, nutrient uptake, giardia, h.Pylori, yeast, viruses and bacteria.

He left saying " Send me everything you have on this and I'd like to do some

reading. "

He may not be one of the greats and he may not end up being a homeopathic

pediatrician, but I really appreciate him listening and working with me and

not rejecting what I'm doing. And my insurance covers everything except a

$10 copay. That I can't argue with. Just thought I'd share that it might be

possible to enlist your regular in-network pediatrician to help with things

too. They don't have to be the enemy.
