Dan vs.

[Guest guest]

,

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.
