Guest guest Posted July 28, 2002 Report Share Posted July 28, 2002 in what ways did you find dr g difficult to work with? > , > My son is now recovered. He is 13 in all the accelerated classes, gets mostly A's, and has friends. At times he still is a little Bill Gates kind of quirky, but he is in the ballpark. None of his teachers or friends know he was ever diagnosed as autistic. I too started with Sidney Baker who is the doctor who is mostly responsible for writing the Dan protocol. He did help my son, but also did much that unhealthy for him like the mega-vitamins, severe diets, and supplements, etc Dr. G's treatment is only scientifically based and he will never do anything that is not in the best your child. > > The recovery is not overnight. Most of these kids have been sick for a long time, and it takes years to return their bodies to " normal " functioning. Even if you could wave a magic wand and make your child's body " normal " , it takes years to learn language. A normal child is not language proficient until about three years of age. So I don't think there is a magic cure, but for now this is the best thing going. I believe Dr. G sometimes is difficult to work with, but he is right in his theories. My son is living proof. > > My son is recovered, but not cured. He still needs his medications to remain normal. When we moved into a new house some years ago, in the confusion of moving, I did not have his anitviral medication refilled. Within days, I saw autistic-like behaviors I hadn't seen for years. After I started the anitiviral meds again within a week these behaviors were gone. Please email me if you want more info. I have lots of info to share, but don't want to overwhelm. > > Marcia Hinds > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 29, 2002 Report Share Posted July 29, 2002 Are there cases of recovery where medication was eventually stopped and the child's immune system continued to function properly? Children often outgrow allergies and other problems. Or is continued medication a life-long proposition for these kids? Dan vs. , My son is now recovered.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2002 Report Share Posted July 29, 2002 I have spoken with two parents whose children are recovered and no longer need meds. Most of the parents that I know who's children have " recovered " still need to be on one med. The med differs from child to child. Dan vs. > > > , > My son is now recovered.
