New to group - How does differ from DAN?

[Guest guest]

Hi all - I just found this group and Dr. Goldberg's protocol. I

looked through his presentation on the nids.net website and it makes a

lot of sense to me. My son is 5 and has an abnormal MRI showing excess

T1 flairs on the frontal lobe. He is ASD and still non-verbal. He has

low energy and is constantly lying down on his back on the floor or

sofa, which has me thinking he has some form of chronic fatigue

syndrome, but of course, my idea was dismissed by our pediatrician and

even Dr. Sudhir Gupta (of IVIG fame).

We've been on the DAN (Defeat Autism Now) protocol about 1.5 years

now. We're also using Acyclovir to treat for the herpes virus and

Diflucan for yeast. He's made slow progress but we would really love

some expressive language.

So how does the protocol differ from DAN? Does focus more on

treating viruses?

I'm anxious to call Dr. Goldberg's office. In the meantime, can

someone tell me more info about the protocol and whether Dr.

Goldberg accepts insurance? If not, what are his rates?

Thanks!
