Re: DMSA /Once a great group...

Dave,

I am so blown away by what you wrote to Phyllis. I feel like finally someone

has put into words the truth about these doctors we all used to put such faith

in and I appreciate your honesty about it. I was basically denied any kind of

testing by my son's doctor, told to medicate him and not have any more kids by

his ped neuro, and finally, had a DAN doctor tell me I didn't need to " worry "

about chelation until " later " (I assume " later meant after I spent thousands and

thousands of dollars on doctor's visits and uneccessary tests).

No offence to anyone who has a good DAN doc (you're lucky). But, Phyllis seems

to assume we have access to open minded docs or docs who don't see our kids as

walking dollar signs.

Lastly, I am not comforted by the idea that someone could be sued or lose

their license if they ruin my child. What the hell kind of comfort is that? I

would happily be poor with a healthy child than wealthy with a permanently

damaged one.

Phyllis, if you are reading this I don't want you to think I'm jumping on

you...but Dave has got it right. Maybe you are lucky and have a great doc, but

some of us only have other parents and people like Dave to guide and educate us.

I hope you can understand the position we are in.

Phillis - You are putting rather more than money on your doctor. If the damage

to you and/or your child/children has not yet convinced you that you need to

stand on your own two feet with this, then you may not be ready to take it into

your own hands. I know too many doctors and dentists, and I have seen too much

of the consequences of their actions to feel the slightest bit protected by

either the AMA or governmental mechanisms. I have also taught too many

doctors-to-be to feel any confidence that more than .001% have any capacity to

do more than " follow the leader " . Thinking independently is so thoroughly

squashed by our educational system, and truth is so obfuscated in medical

literature, that I have no intention of allowing one of those snotty kids who

thought so much of themselves but knew nothing more than how to parrot back what

I gave them, to do anything to me. And if this comes across to you as angry, you

are right - teaching idiot savants is bad enough, but the

damage they do when they get power, is worse.

(And no, not all of my students were idiots. Remarkably, I found that the " B "

students were the ones who flowered when I actually pushed people to think.)

I hope you can find it in yourself to take up this task, Phillis. The task of

educating yourself enough to come to your own conclusions about the best

approach.

Dave.

Yep. Feels very strange LOL

#3 developed a cold yesterday, so I added back vitamin C and OLE for

him. I don't know if it was coincidental or related, so I am not fully

convinced yet that my kids don't need supps.

By the way, the " no supps " applies only to #2 and #3 [before he got

sick]. Still working on my seemingly-NT-but-have-issues #1 and #4. I

dropped all their supps for a week, now I am adding back. Their

issues seem much more complicated than Kanner's autism LOL

You are not supposed to have any more kids by his pedneuro?
