Re: Re: FACES support group

[Guest guest]

I talked to Dana about this. It's funny how her influence has been sprinkled throughout the autism community for years. About 3 years ago at Autism One..I searched and searched for her because she was the ONLY one who ever talked about Lyme in relation to autism. I never found her but we found each other at the Kirby vaccine debate a few months later in San Diego. She was so cute because she carried around Dr. Burrascano's treatment guidelines for Lyme disease in her purse. Since then we have been collaborating, bouncing ideas, wearing off on each other. (she makes me chill out and I help sprinkle organization on her) At least we try!

Her website keeps growing more and more everyday. www.thriiive.com

Tami,You are connecting with Dana this way. As you know Dana's e-mail is what lead me to Dr. Amy several years ago. I will always be greatful to her for that post that changed my direction and has been instrumental in my sons improvements under these drs. Wow..I feel like a ring was just given to these 2 groups, putting her group in your name. I'm so thankful to both of you. She changed my direction and started my research line with Defeat Autism Yesterday, you've provided a place for such great support...what a great team.Rita>> You all have been so awesome helping name the group.
