How My Boy Kicked Autism
Chapter 7 Biomedical Interventions
Dr. Stan, your New DAN Doctor, http://autism.about.com/od/alternativetreatmens/f/dandoc.htm gave me even more hope today. He poked you what seemed to be a million times looking for hidden food allergies. He found that you had an overgrowth of intestinal bacteria and he gave me some pro-biotics to treat you with. He also gave me a list of vitamins and minerals, amino acids and essential fatty acids that may really help you to feel better. Finally, words I know the definitions of. He also put you on a special diet that is totally free of gluten1 and casein2 (GFCF).3 I thought at first this would be impossible but you would not believe how much GFCF food there is out there at Whole Foods http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/ and Trader Joes. We are all going to do the diet at home, Sassy too although she may require an ABA session or twenty. There is a whole list of recipe links and how to go GFCF on a on-line that mom is checking out right now.
Dr. Stan explained that you have high levels of mercury inside you and suggested that we detoxify you through a process called chelation budget http://www.talkaboutcuringautism.org/gfcf-diet/gfcf-diet-on-a-budget.htm. He warned me that chelation was potentially hazardous and your mom heard that and has vetoed it for now. I agree. First we will try ABA and a GFCF diet. Dr. Bank and Dr. Stan both tell me that I will be able to tell right away if what we are doing is working for you and Dr. Stan was totally fine with our decision to hold off on any type of medical procedure. Not only that, he told us we could apply for a scholarship program http://www.tacanow.com/fic/family-scholarship-application-dan-doctor.pdf to help us pay for his services. Blank, I can not wait to be able to understand you better. I bet you have a lot to say by now! Can’t wait to hear every last sound. Your lawyer Melanie, she suggested that we start video taping you now so that we can document the progress that you are making. I promise I will do this as often as possible so that you will always be able to see how proud of yourself I just know you will be someday.
