Intro and Questions

[Guest guest]

Hi. Joined the list a couple of weeks ago and never got around to

posting an intro. Have found the list very informative.

Was wondering if anyone knows a doctor in the District of Columbia or

just outside the District who is using Dr. -McBride's GAPS

protocol. I heard of a doctor in land who used it but I also heard

that the prescribed an antifungal on the first or second visit. I am

not interested in any drug therapy or someone who is really based in

allopathic medicine and creating a hybrid treatment. To me the value

of Dr. -McBride's methodolgy is her genuine holistic

treatment, based on the body's ability to heal itself if provided with

the right materials.

Also, I have another question. From what I gathered from her lecture

at WAPF in Nov. and from her book, Dr. -McBride says no dairy

for at least six months and more like a year to two years. Yet the

intro diet in the files section says " when dairy is introduced...if

tolerated. " I have read one post on this list that says she has

revised her recommendations on some things--giving probiotic with

butter and using milk kefir instead of yogurt. But I am fuzzy about

when the permissible dairy products (ghee, kefir, 24-hour cultured

yogurt, butter) are fine to introduce. It seems strange that these are

included in the first eight weeks.

Look forward to a reply.

,

I think the most important quality to find in a doctor is one who is

open-minded and willing to work as a partner along with you, rather

than one who thinks he/she knows everything and you should follow

along like a whipped pup ;o).

I live in land and have given up on doctors for the time being.

I know some doctors in the area who either work from the DAN protocol

(for autism) or are associated with doctors who do. Some of these

doctors also work with adults with chronic disorders. I have found

these doctors to be the best at working WITH a patient due to the

ever-increasing info surrounding autism and the immune system. It is

necessary to be open-minded while working in this area. You may give

them a call and ask a few questions. One place is Heartlight Healing

Arts in Columbia. I think Janet (or Janelle) Love in Pasadena works

with adults as well. There is an allergist in Towson, Dr. Layton. I

friend of mine swears by a doctor in the Baltimore area who uses

mostly herbs and diet. His name is something like Hindenberg, but I

can't remember for sure.

Sorry for the vague information. I'm not good with details. If I

can find details, I will pass this along.
