Guest guest Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 I have lots of experience with CARE clinics and have always felt they were on the cutting edge of treatment for my son. I have been nothing but happy with all of the wonderful people who work there. Is there a specific question you had, you can always email me privately so as not to clutter up the list too....

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 I have also had dramatic results with my son just by taking the step and going to Care Clinics. They have an awesome staff and very helpful. Dr. Baker is a wealth of knowledge. My son is talking so much now and I believe PK and chelation have helped tremendously. Very, very happy with care clinics. Diane Subject: Re: care clinicsTo: Texas-Autism-Advocacy Date: Tuesday, December 2, 2008, 3:34 AM Count me as another reference for CARE Clinics.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Thank you for all your posts and comments on care clinics. Though I was not the one who originally asked about it, but sure made me confident in bringing my son there next year. I already got an appointment for January 17 since last month and now can't wait to go upon hearing all the good news.

We make no claims but in my son's case, all worth it! I do NEED to brag though because yesterday my family were all smiles due to yesterday's treasure moment which we have not witness in quite a while due to our son's health issues deteriorating and since returning back to CARE clinic as we had a little halt and had a scare of our life as we thought we were losing him this past Feb. Anyways, another chapter here but all I know since taking him back to the CARE clinics compared to the months he had undergone. We took our son to a holiday event yesterday evening and to see him getting off the vehicle, entering the blding., saying " hi " (loud and clear)to anyone who greeted him was just incredible (he is non-vocal)was just heartbreaking for my husband and I to observe. Then as we sat down, he automatically got up independently, chose to go and do his dancing moves when the music had begun. Now this to us was awesome! He loves music and loves to dance and all of this was gone awhile back, all those who knew him or witnessed this and then noticed no longer had any interest knew that he was not himself but he is back. To top it off, hate that my camcorder broke. As we were leaving as he danced all night, many would give us compliments of what a dancer he is. : ) Once we returned home, settled down, he actually allowed me to read him a story (have not done this in quite a long time). This I have been wanting to do since he had been seen by Soma out at the HALO center, she is just an incredible & an inspiring person who I admire very much. Sorry another chapter. Happy Feet, indeed. Do not want to jinx it, knock on wood. Best early Christmas gift on his latest progress. Irma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 My husband and I also went to Care Clinics because they took our United Healtcare insurance. We hardly have any out of pocket expenses for treatments and just pay for supplements and medications. This is the reason why we chose Care Clinics over Thoughtful House. I do hear Thoughtful House is awesome as well. I have actually debated on going to the Thoughtful House to see Dr. Krigsman. The Care Clinic doesn't do any kind of scoping or gastrointestinal testing besides lab work. My son has serious problems with constipation and not going regularly. For now, the care clinic is helping me rule out causes and heal the gut. If nothing seems to help, I may see Dr. Krigsman as I hear he is wonderful.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 We think Dr. Krigsman is the kindest, warmest and most knowledgeable GI dr we have seen - and we went through three at Texas Children's before seeing him. If you can, I would definitely recommend seeing him even if you are using other doctors outside of Thoughtfulhouse. We are a TH family so I can vouch for all the people there - they are so dedicated to helping our kids.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 I have been reading positive posts about Care Clinic, but I have heard a lot of negative from different moms I have talked to over the past year. Those of you that have had bad experiences at Care Clinic need to post as well. The complaints have ranged from not returning phone calls after insurance stopped paying, to parents and children lined up in the hall getting chelation together. I have have heard complaints about putting a lot of pressure on parents to test themselves as well as their children and a lot of pressure to do multiple therapies quickly. Some of their protocols seem a little questionable. Chelation is a lengthy infusion at Care Clinic. Studies have shown there is no benefit to slow IV infusion. I am also questioning the second day mineral infusion. You can not replenish a mineral deficiency in a one day infusion. We do go to Thoughtful House and have been very pleased with all of the staff and physicians. I know Care Clinic is helping some people, but I am really questioning their protocols and business practices. I'm sorry to post negative because I know a lot of you have received good care there. Just want to tell both sides of the story.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Dear Everyone, I think all of your points are good. When making choices for your child it is beneficial to hear both the positive and negative about any treatment option. I would have to agree that I have heard that Care Clinics can be overwhelming in their approach and may not be the best for all patients with autism, but I have never visited their facility. As far as Dr. Jepson is concerned- he is excellent. I would not change if you are lucky enough to be part of his practice. It is a tough journey in treating a child with Autism. Chelation can be a great treatment but can also be slightly harmful if not done at the appropriate time. Make sure your child is ready for chelation and ask the doctor questions, no matter where you go.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Yes, sometimes it gets busy and we sit in the same room. The minerals are done the next day slowly rather than the next week or with chelation. Our blood work shows that with that protocol and with the minerals we do during the week my child does not have a deficientcy in any mineral we keep very close watch. You do have to be proactive at CARE to make your appointments it is a busy place. Remember that Thoughtful house is having you pay upfront and I'm sure they would not take the time to call me to make more appointments if I didn't pay. Thoughtful house is a fine establishment many children benefit there this is not a competition. I have been asked if I wanted treatment I declined until my child is better and now I'm almost ready. They are not chasing me around with a needle. As for the benefit to slow drip? Don't know for sure but I do know that a IV push can be dangerous I'd like to see more research on that. I think if CARE thought an IV push was better they would gladly do this to get parents and families in and out quicker although speed and inconvenience is not the avenue I take when treating my child. As for multiple treatments at once? You can choose because there is a lot to choose from. I started out with just chelation and minerals and now I do ozone and PK and hyperbaric and I rotate. The doctors make recommendations on treatments but the final decision is left to the parent. It's also of interest that Dr.Kartzinel who was also at Thoughtful house used to charge us $300 an hour for phone consultations and tell jokes. I can trip a doctor at CARE clinic and laugh and get information for free all at the same time. I think bottom line is there is no benefit to bashing one or the other if you want to do chelation go to both places, talk with the staff and see what is the best fit for you and your family.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 I appreciate your posts about Dr. Krigsman. Many people have said great things about him. I am scheduled to see a pediatric gastroenterologist in Houston next week but am debating whether or not it would be worth my time. I have heard from many moms that it wasn't worth it and they said they got the help they wanted with Dr. Krigsman. I may go to get some work done for my son but I think I will eventually get scheduled to see Dr. Krigsman. He sounds wonderful. My son won't even go regularly unless I give him a pediatric liquid suppository every day. I've tried lots of things and there is definitely something wrong. , I appreciate your post. It's very true what you say as I have heard and experienced those issues myself. I was very overwhelmed the first few times I went to the Care Clinic. Procedures and testing were not explained very well at first and I learned you have to know to ask all the right questions. Yes, Care does encourage multiple treatments which I later found was exhausting for my son and now I only stick with PK, chelation and minerals. PK and chelation have really helped the most but I had to find out the hard way and many times of going. They won't just tell you directly what treatments to do which I found strange at first. You really have to be the advocate for your child at Care Clinics and not be afraid to ask lots of questions. The staff at care is awesome though and very helpful whenever you do ask questions. I agree with you though that it does get crowded at times and you do have to be in the hallway with other parents during treatments, but overall I am happy with the results for Joe and how far he has come and all the waiting in the hallway was well worth it. Dr. Baker is awesome and so very knowledgable. He will go out of his way to talk with you if you ask him and really cares about helping your child. As for my son's gut issues, I look forward to giving Thoughtful House a try with Dr. Krigsman. He sounds like the answer to many parent's prayers.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Care Clinics will be a featured Keynote at our October 2009 Autism/Disability Conference in Tomball - so that would be a good start to hear about their approach and to ask them questions.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 In October 2007 Care Clinics had an exhibit table at the NWH Chapter ASA disability conference in Tomball (they were not the keynote speaker then) and their table was swamped the whole time. But, then so was the Thoughtful House exhibit table this year. I just wished we had skillful doctors and people who care about treating kids with autism in practicing in Houston.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 We only see Dr. Jepson for my son’s IVIG needs but have seen Lucas , the nurse practitioner, for everything else. He is excellent and I highly recommend him. He is very personable and always spends an hour with us at each appointment. He consults with Dr. Jepson on all major medical decisions. I hope this helps you.

When I called to get an appointment for my son, they said we could see a nurse practitioner but not any doctors. Does anyone know if they plan to expand and add more physicians?

But, then so was the Thoughtful House exhibit table this year. I just wished we had skillful doctors and people who care about treating kids with autism in practicing in Houston.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Hello, I just wanted to chime in. Please don't forget about me/my clinic. I just opened my clinic about 6 months ago in North Houston and I follow Defeat Autism Now! principles having attended more than 3 conferences and 2 Clinician's Seminar's. At my clinic we also perform IV chelation. Please take a look at my website: www.clinicforautism.com My nephew has Asperger's and I want to do my best to help all individuals affected by Autism Spectrum Disorders because I personally understand the struggle, the love, the blessing, and the hope of recovery. Good luck to all in your journey- Nomita Pothuluri, M.D. To: Texas-Autism-Advocacy From: sandra_huddleston@...Date: Sat, 6 Dec 2008 07:15:09 -0800Subject: Re: Re: care clinics I am very happy with DAN!
