Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 a I am so happy for you that you have your explant all over with and it went off without complications. That is so great. It is also good to know what you are dealing with and it sounds like Dr. Kolb has done a good job of informing you of what she found. I am sorry that you are dealing with both the mold and silicone problems. But now you know what you are up against and you can start working on detoxing and getting better. I have heard about leptin and actos -- I think Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker works with actos. You might want to do a search on him. He wrote a book about weight and leptin connection. He also does alot of work with diseases caused by toxins like mold, staph, etc. I have heard discussion before on a stealth virus support group I used to monitor--they told about Shoemaker's work and also about the diet do's and don'ts of using actos. It was a couple of years ago and Ijust don't remember too much. Please take it easy for a few weeks to recoup from surgery. Also, it may take alot of time and hard work with detoxing to get your body back in a healthy state. Don't get discouraged because it will happen! Hugs, Kathy > > Hoor-Ray! Thank God I'm explanted!

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 I just moved to Ohio, specifically Twinsburg. I need someone to reccommend a dentist and a doctor for my 5 year old son who is autistic. I am looking for doctors who are good/have expierence with kids like him in and around the area. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 We go see Dr. Crowell in Aurora. It is a little bit of a drive but well worth it. My autistic son is six now and she has been his dentist since he was two. She is great with him and also with us. Jacki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 No she deals with all kids including children with disabilities. No Urora is not that far. Heck we are always driving to a therapy or a Dr appointment somewhere....LOL!!! We live in Valley View. Let me know if I can be of any more help.
