1st DAN! Doctor appt. today - My experience

[Guest guest]

hey, had my first DAN! appt. today...my son is 3.3 years, diagnosed

with autism, non-verbal.

Basically, the doctor did not give me any more details than one can

find here on in the internet. He just said, well, usually we start

restricting milk products first and to whean him off gluten and

casein and start him on MB12 injections. He has a great success rate

with only that in his office. Then, if that did not help within about

4 weeks, we will try other remedies (eg. antifungals,

antiretrovirals, etc...). In the meantime this is the blood work he

ordered for my son :

Comprehensive urine and blood metabolic screen

CBCDP

Chem 20

lipid profile

pyruvic acid

IgG specific for milk,wheat,soy,corn,peanut, sacchromyces,whole egg

Lead

Stool culture specific for yeast

--> which will all be covered by insurance.

Self pay tests :

1.Metametrix Organix Dysbiosis - Urine ($350.00) which will go to

Metametrix in Georgia

2. A Urine collection that will be sent to " Laboratoire de Biologie

Medicale " in Paris, France which will check for :

Porphyrins+Pterins+80HdG/80HG+F2-alpha-Isoprostane (dont know how

much ?)

He gave him one MB12 injection in the office and gave me a list of

supplements he should take, eg. Vitamin B6,magnesium/calcium, liver

cod oil,Zinc

What suprised him is that my son does not have ANY bowel symptoms at

all, neither diahhrea or constipation, however, he said what if he

has both of them, then you will see neither one

Either way, I am anxious to see his blood results coming back,

eventhough I am debating if I should send the optional self-pay ones,

as they are very expensive. Anyone done those ? Are they really

neccessary ?

Tomorrow we are going to see a neurologist and try to get him a MRI

(as recommended by Dr. Miranda from the Bright Minds

Institute) and an EEG (as Stan made really curious about brain

synchronicity, etc...). Will see what they will say.

After all, I am glad I joined this group and found Stan as guidance.

I wish one day I can come back here and say that my son lost his

diagnosis, but one step at a time I guess. Thank you everyone who

shares their experiences here.

Thanks,

Chris
