suggestions for newbies

[Guest guest]

Dr G has always said the methods he uses in are not 'brain science'.

It's just good science.

My suggestions for those of you starting out who are unable to see Dr G

in California:

- buy the Mississippi DVD thru the office 1-818-343-1010

I think it's $25 ?? 4 hours long and chuck full of info.

- show this DVD to your local pediatrician? What- have an unsupportive

pediatrician? Open up the yellow pages and start calling. Most doctors

worth their

salt will you give you 15 min of their time. This is what I had to do -

I hit pay dirt on

call #3. Now, my son's local pediatrician admits she doesn't understand

the immune

side of Autism or the SPECT scans.. but she writes up prescriptions (so

that we can mail them

off -- paying $35/6 mths of valtrex instead of $200+ a month) and orders

the blood draws.

She's keeping a 'watchful' eye on what we're doing with thru Dr G.

- start pestering your local medical establishments. I pester JHU all

the time :-)

I also pester a particular doctor at UCLA. Ahh pester is such a strong

word.

" I have meaningful dialogs with doctors. I pass them any research item

I come across.

I offer them copies of my son's medical records as well as a copy of the

Miss. DVD "

- call Dr Bruce or Kathy and see if one of them will talk to your

child's doctor.

Kathy has traveled as far as Singapore to talk with 's son's doctor.

- these are tough times. Monetary and time resources may not be

available for you to travel

to Calif. But try to get an appt with Dr Bruce or the NNY clinic.

You have to start somewhere.

Get informed. Visit the and NeuroImmuneDr websites. Read read and

read.

The bloodsuck information is listed. The SPECT images are there.

You are the only one who can help your child...

- The group has alot of people with good information. Preview old

postings.

Get up on the Chat and see what's going on. You aren't going to

make a difference

letting things come to you. Find other families in your area and

network.

One voice can make a noise but many voices can bring down a wall.

- Review the diet - remove all casein and foods that might cause

sensitivies.

This is the easiest thing you can do.
