Guest guest Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 " Next thing from her mouth " You are aware we cannot cognitively test your child, Mrs. . " Me: " NO, she has been tested in the past, why? " Her: " Well, your child is black, Mrs. , and we cannot cognitively test black children. " She cited some ancient court case which found the IQ test to be racially biased(proper term??) towards African American children. My response, " Well, she is not black, she is mixed. " Her: " Well, children take the race of the father. But if you want to classify her as 'white' on school records, we can test her. " This is not just a court case -it's the law, and one that was Greek to me too until Tamara Hill from Voices of California and I were talking about this on the phone one day. CHERAB's VP Cheryl is NJ State's Award of Excellence in Teaching representative -and she knew about this but never brought it up till I asked. This law seems to be used more in California than NJ for some reason. Being that my Dad came over here to the US not speaking a word of English at 11 years old and was thrown into a regular classroom with all English Speaking students and teachers, and from a different culture (much more of a different culture than black American children) -seems to me that there are many other children that shouldn't receive IQ testing. Speech impaired children for example shouldn't receive verbal based IQ testing -but they do. The laws are a joke at times -not fair at times. Not for nothing -but even an English speaking white American child given most of the barbaric ancient IQ tests some of the school systems still have in their museum they call a school are inappropriate unless the child was born in 1950. Some still have dial telephones! If you check the archives -we were once all sharing the stupidest IQ cards we saw -it was pretty funny. Anyway -there is only one group for some reason that is covered under this law -and it is black American children. I read it -it's the law. Tamara's Dad just passed away, which is very sad. Due to this Tamara won't be able to comment on this for awhile -I know she could let you know all about this law. I'll see if I can find info on this. ===== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 cannot be mixed with Chelation. has science behind it - chelation does not. The story will be told very soon .... but it's surprising how only the 'juicy and pretty' stories get told and the stories with 'meat' behind them get left on the shelf. time will come and hopefully parents will start asking why CAN, DAN, NAAR, etal dropped the ball doris maryland Message: 5 Date: Sun Jun 4, 2006 3:13 pm (PDT) From: " Rob or Sunseri " RobRose@...

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 again, the analyst in me needs to see the evidence by which the outcome was reached. > videos - before and after > tests - blood, scans > social > attention > sensory The ABA consultant we used to have knew Lovaas and Maurice. Ms. Maurice's claim that her 2 children are recovered is based on very thin evidence. The consultant said there were still problems. I don't want recovery, rather the ability to survive with acceptable behavior. To think and reason so that he can live on his own when we have to leave him. If 's wants a girlfriend, cool If he wants pets, no problem doris > > Interesting that one of the moms whose son apparently was portrayed on the > show was NOT chelated and is considered recovered.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 And to add to this, the dad hosting the recovery gala has a son who " recovered " not using chelation....rather anti virals and mb12 nasal spray among a few other things.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 > > I don't understand the negativity of so many on this board. I am happy for any child who gets to leave the land of autism, no matter how they find their exit. > Hi , It's really not negativity, per se. No one begrudges a parent who will do whatever they have to to help their children recover. Even though the majority of parents on this board have children on the ASD spectrum, you have to understand that this board is not technically an " autism " discussion group. The board homepage clearly states that it is for specific discussion of the protocol, the immune system and scientific issues/studies related to the cluster of autoimmune diseases, which includes Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer's, and others. It was *not* started or intended as a group for broad discussion of autism treatments. There are other boards for that. The protocol is devoted to restoring health by healing the immune system. That's why we have so many adults on this board with CFS, and children who only have CFS, but not ASD. Chelation therapy may help some children regain some or all of their cognitive functioning, but the potential for long-term damage to the immune system is the reason it is contraindicated on . It drains the bones and body of vital nutrients, or it can force them to cluster and " hide " in other parts of the body, leading to other, undetected problems. It can leave the child vulnerable to myriad autoimmune illnesses later in life. That's why Dr. G goes crazy with frustration any time someone brings it up, and it's the reason for his extreme caution with treatments for his patients. Hope that helps.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 > > If we continue to achieve our goals, then what will set us apart is that the doctor who is having great results with a MB-12 child will talk with the doctor who is having great results with a child -- no more ego-driven protocols, leaving the parents torn between doctor loyalty and loyalty to their child. This is what our parent advisory board desires, an thus far we have doctors who are listening. It gives us all hope. > > - , This is my dream as well!

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 I think that we overlook the natural chelation that can occur when children's methylation processes are corrected> Methylation removes metals & virus stores from the body and I believe can be helped by B12 as well as anti- virals to begin the process. > And to add to this, the dad hosting the recovery gala has a son > who " recovered " not using chelation....rather anti virals and mb12 > nasal spray among a few other things. > > Kristie > > > > > > __________________________________________________ > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
