Guest guest Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Dear doris, I understand that you have been following the protocol for 10 years, yet his anxiety is so high. I have just begun the program for my son, I want to know, what are the benefits you have seen Regards Sunira Sent from BlackBerry® on Airtel RE: east coast drs Other than Kathy's Clinic in upper state NY, I know of no other Dr on the East Coast willing to follow the line of thinking and treat our kids. I've talked with a variety of specialists up/down the coast to include the folks at Hopkins and Univ of Md (think: Dr Pardu) They all admit to an interest but without 'proof' they aren't willing to commit. yes yes yes I know there are dozens of articles out there supporting Dr G's work but the Drs just aren't willing to connect the dots... I do have plans to approach at some time Dr Teitelbaum's clinic in polis. Dr T is known for his work with CFIDS. He at least believes in the viral portion of the illness esp where herpes viruses come into play. We've have my son Spect'd at Dr Amen's facility in N VA and were very disappointed in how they do business. This was about 3-4 yrs ago. They didn't take personal insurance at the time; but they did take our money ($3000). There techs had no idea how to work with behaviorally charged kids and they had no idea how to read the scans once they were done. Dr G has indicated in the telephone consults that he has 'contacts' on the East Coast who suppose his work and efforts. But so far, I haven't been able to squeeze a name from him. Personally I would love to have someone on the East Coast that we could take my son to for a visual. He's been a patient of Dr G for 10 yrs. We used to visit Dr G every year. But my son's anxiety is such at this point that traveling to Calif. will be difficult if not impossible. We do have a local Dr who watches over my son - she gives us prescriptions that so that we can do mail order thus reducing some of the $$$ costs of the prescriptions like Valtrex, Effexor and antifungals. But she will only help us as long as we work with Dr G.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Hey Doris, It feels to me that the OCD/anxiety stuff can be vastly improved by , but only time helps it. It hasn't been a quick fix but it was a lot worse. Unfortunately if it gets triggered by something, it will still go off, even on the meds. I wonder if something in his diet is doing it. Is he taking any probiotics? If he is, I'd urge you to pull them out right now and see if this helps....

If we try and change his SSRI, it might work this time and it might not. An SSRI that should work might contain a form of casein which will set him off. Perhaps the mold and pollen in land is higher this spring than last spring ... perhaps his changing hormones are coming into play. The protocol isn't cut and dry for every child. My son is one of the ones Dr G refers to as an 'interesting and challenging case' :-) Sometimes he'll react to a medicine change the way you want him to and sometimes he doesn't. 's history is listed on the group somewhere - but in a nutshell: - healthy progressing child until ~18-20 mths. Lost what speech he had; behavior increased. - Paternal history of immune disorders (GBS, MS, IBS); possible Maternal history of serontonin disorder. - Started ABA at age 3. Followed DAN protocol for 1 yrs. No change. Found Dr G at age 4 (thank you sharryl and john hemry!). White cell count 3x the normal. Severely Anemic. Antibodies to myelin. Bloodworkup all over the place. - Valtrex did wonders for . His eyes became clear. SSRI helped him to start sleeping thru the night. Kutapressin regulated his immune system for 2-3 yrs. - Put into public school system at age 6.5, reading and doing math at a 2nd gr level. Local autism program with 1:1 aides, slps, ots, peer interaction. But what always looks good isn't what it appears. When entered 4th grade, we worked with a lawyer due to 'severe problems in services or lack thereof'. A wonderful testing period at Hannah school showed that had regressed to a 1st gr level in just 3 yrs. We were given the golden ticket to Kennedy Krieger. So far they have turned out to be wonderful. We used to be able to take any where. But then this OCD thing started with flushing toilets. Then I think an 'incident' happened somewhere. When something like this happens, it seems to imprint on the brain. 's SPECT scans show hyperfusion in an area I've seen refd as 'the control stick'. has high and low -- nothing really in between. Overall he's an enjoyable child err teenager. He loves the computer,reading and numbers. His memory is pretty awesome when he's on track. He'll turn 15 in Sept. He's my height, has a size 9 shoe and wears a men's small/medium.Yep I'm feeling pretty old :-) I guess I'll have to be resigned to being the shortest member in the family (my husband is 6'5'') Where will be in 5-10-25 yrs? Will be ever be cured? But what is cured? Before you can cure, you have to know how he got sick .... doris land **************************************************************** Dear doris, I understand that you have been following the protocol for 10 years, yet his anxiety is so high.
