RE: Peer Reviewed Publications

[Guest guest]

Lori,

If you are looking for peer reviewed publications directly addressing , I

don't think you will find any. However, there are abundant articles

supporting the reasoning of the hypothesis. The studies being done by

Dr. Vijendra Singh have been particularly interesting to me. I had the

opportunity to hear both Dr. Singh and Dr. Wakefield speak in Des Moines, and

I was surprised how much both of their work tied into when you really

listened to all they had to say. I am not the researcher some on this list

are, but I know there are good supporting articles out there.

We too went through having to " persuade " our pediatrician to support us in

going to see Dr. Goldberg. I brought him information printed off the

website, as well as the new patient information I had received from Dr.

Goldberg's office. It was not that he was against the ideas, but it

was completely new to him. Thankfully our local pediatrician was open-minded

enough to call Dr. Goldberg's office and speak with him. That conversation

was very helpful in removing the doubts of our pediatrician and, although to

my knowledge it has not changed his own practice, he has been very supportive

to date about ordering tests and supporting us in our decision to pursue

treatment. It's hard to argue with what makes sense.

may not be mainstream medicine to date, which sometimes makes it

difficult. However I have never had Dr. Goldberg put my child on a

medication just because it was part of the " protocol. " He has always been

able to give me sound, logical reasons why initiating a particular medication

was necessary for my child. At this point in my child's treatment, my son's

teachers and therapists can tell if his medication is " off. " For him, it

truly makes a difference.

Unfortunately, we live in a time when many doctors are afraid to treat our

children in any way. Rather than look into logical possibilities, they hide

behind the fear of malpractice. An unfortunate side-effect of the world we

live in......

Check Dr Goldberg's website www.neuroimmunedr.com and the website,

www.nids.net - many of Dr Goldberg's articles have peer reviewed citations

all supportng the hypothesis in some way. The hypothesis has 62 peer

reviewed citations.

Peer Reviewed Publications

Hi.

I am new to and looking for some information...I am surrounded by

friends and colleagues - Doctors - that are skeptical of the theory

and was wondering if anyone can direct me to some Peer Reviewed articles

that Dr. Goldberg has had published. If I could get some of these people on

board, my life, and conscience would be easier to manage. I am quite

certain that has the answers that I have been looking for, but some

personal and professional support from these very conservative and cautious

loved ones would be most helpful. Thank you in advance for any information

that you can send my way.

Yours very truly,

You are absolutely right. We live in a time where parents are more

knowledgeable in medical issues concerning their child than the local

ped. I always tell parents to keep looking till they find a ped. who is

willing to read the info you pass on and listen to your concerns.

Lori-

That is a really good question. I know that he backs

up the theories but has not published the findings in

any peer reviewed journal. I have been told that the

stuff he does is cutting edge so there is no real

research, just what success he has had in his

practice.

Lori: For every article you find that supports the theory you can

probally find one that contradicts it. I am in the same position as you and

have an appt to see Dr. G soon. If you truly believe that his protocol fits

your child you have to go for it regardless of what the people around you

think. This is the first group that has given true testimony about full

recovery and given me renewed hope about finding a solution for my child.

Sure it is costly to see him etc. but the way I look at it I have wasted

more money on the doctors etc. then what it will cost to see if Dr. G can

help. I give this guy credit, he is the first person I have known to stand

up and say I think I can help your child. Go for it.

Lori,

I can't help you on the peer reviewed publications, but just wanted to

comment that if you decide to do " the diet " (see Dr. Goldberg's website...

article called " The Do's and Don't's of Diet " ), you may want to start Holden

on it, too. We started our " normal " toddler on it at 12 months (he is now

24 months) when we realized we might be able to prevent problems before they

started by doing so. When I took him in for his 2 year checkup and we were

looking at his growth curve, his pediatrician pointed at the dramatic upward

change on the growth chart and said " Is this where you took him off of milk

based formula? " . I hadn't ever thought about that before...actually, he

never had milk formula, but I was drinking milk when I nursed him. We

weaned him to soy formula, and at that point on his chart he takes off.

Maybe coincidence, maybe not.

I have been very fortunate to have a pediatrician and another specialist who

are very excited about Dr. Goldberg's work. It has spoken for itself here,

as my PDD son jumped from being consistently at the 80% for gross motor

skills from age 1 to age 6 (evaluated by the same person annually), then

amazingly to the 98% after 12 months on the diet and 6 months on the other

meds as well (we did the diet for 6 months before seeing Dr. G).

My son also became the first child ever in his pediatric specialist's office

to gain reflexes after not having them. This is a specialist who treats

tons of kids with CP, and she was so impressed that she called Dr. Goldberg

herself and had a great conversation.

These are just two of the wonderful changes we have seen in our son.

Another is that his white blood cells (consistently low) look like they are

moving up toward normal.

I mentioned these things because these are measurable things that are not as

subjective as the autism part, which we have also seen fantastic

improvements in.

Anyway, hang in there... keep asking around. You might even want to call

around to some local pediatricians and ask if any of them have patients who

are seeing Dr. Goldberg. Then maybe your son's Dr. could talk to them and

get an inside scoop. I have been amazed to find 5 people in my medium sized

town of Kokomo, IN who have taken their children to Dr. Goldberg. Another

great resource to share is the video set.

That's all... hope I didn't bore you. Take care and best all luck. We're

all rooting for each other.

Thanks Candi for you kind words of wisdom and encouragement. I am having a

very hard time with my ped and really want him on board to monitor Hudson's

health and order the bloodwork. Being Canadian, it will cost us a fortune

if we have to pay for it all ourselves in US$. I also needed to make sure

that these theories were backed up by research and not just something that

sounds good. I don't trust my instincts any more since I didn't even think

there was anything wrong with my son in the first place. This is all very

emotional stuff and if I am going to seriously jeopardize my families

financial future I needed some concrete research and evidence. I am

satisfied with what I have read and am very grateful to everyone who

forwarded me sound medical evidence as well as parent testimonies.

LORI..

I was in the same position you are in about one year ago ...we took

all the info to two local doctors we use and trust ...our son's doctor and

our family allergist...both we have used over 11years...one doctor was great

and fully supportive and still is ...he does all the blood work,helped me

learn to give a shot and writes any letters i need...the other doctor was

not supportive and she did not agree with much in the nids theory...however

we still use her and she asks about Steel and is always giving me medical

reading about ASD. My son is a very different boy than one year ago ...we

still have a way to go but baby we are thrilled at the progress he has made

with DR.GOLDBERG. we are heading back out to california in two weeks to see

the good doctor...we still get some grief from people that think we should

be chelating sorry my spelling is bad....but we only do what the doctor says

.....i agree with steve if you believe go for it .....it was the best thing

we did for our son .....i trust dr goldberg with my son as if it was his son

.....take care candi

[Guest guest]

Thanks Caroline for having the insight to advise me on my 1 year old. I had

been looking around and asking alot of people what to do about his diet for

so long and no one seemed to take it very seriously. I did about 6 weeks

ago, start both my boys on the GFCF diet and have noticed huge changes in

my 3 1/2 year old. I am holding my breath about my baby...He seems fine,

but so did Hudson at this age. Thank you for your encouragement and taking

the time to think about my baby as well. The support here from parents is

wonderful and I am so grateful to everyone for caring about my children as

well as well as there own.

Sincerely,

Lori

You are right Steve. But it eases my mind and increases my hope when I know

there is concrete research done by scientists/doctors that support the

theories. It takes away the emotion so that I can concentrate on the hard

core biology of what is wrong and have a greater understanding of what needs

to be done. It is so very hard when we are literally making life and death

decisions for our children. I need to know facts and am satisfied that

has enough research behind it to give it credibility.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my post.

Yours truly,

Lori

Sharon,

Thanks for replying to my post. The thing that I like most about the

theory is that each child is treated individually, not chelated because it

is " the next thing " to do on the list. I have been reading some " stuff " by

Dr. Singh. Does Dr. Goldberg use this research to base his treatments on?

This will all be helpful to get my sons doctors to give me some credibility

and help me through this part of our journey.

Lori,

You're right - the citations are not listed on the website versions

...hmmm!! - although the article Autism and the Immune Connection lists in

the text many references to peer reviewed research. I do however have a hard

copy of the Hypothesis statement - the text of which is exactly as it

appears on the website, and also includes the 62 citations I referred

to. I'll see if we can get this version with the citations posted.
