You may also want to consider seeing Dr. , who follows the protocol.

He has an office in Texas and also goes to a New York clinic at certain times of

the year. Either of these offices would be closer to you in Florida.

Here is Dr 's contact info:

Texas clinic, Port Aransas, Texas. 361-749-1930.

Northern New York Autism Center: 315-773-5405. Also has a website:

www.nnyautismcenter.com

I personally have not visited Dr yet (but hopefully will be very soon)

but I have heard great things about him.

Good luck!

Dr Goldberg is in CA (LA). We see him here (we live here)... you could call his

office and ask if there is another Dr in your area that does the same work.

However, you could also come out for the first visit and see him... then he

requests that lab work be done every 8 weeks or so, and that you give him a

weekly update email on all reactions, improvments, regressions etc. Sometimes he

wants a weekly diet to look for allergic problems that don't seem to be

resolving. Then you do a once per month or so phone consultation. Phone

consultations are less expensive than dr visits, however, I don't think that

most insurance companies will pay for phone consultations. We submit all our

Dr. Goldberg bills to insurance and get them all paid for (minus yearly

deductable and copays.) Also, all his perscriptions are paid for through our

insurance... it is costing us significantly less than we were paying on DAN

protocol.

My personal opinion is that Dr Goldberg has been doing this a long time, and is

incredibly insightful... he has proven himself right many times when I have

doubted him.

We had done DAN before as well... with some success. Dr. G is very opposed to

DAN practices for the most part... because they can make the allergic/immune

response worse and long term may have harmful affects, and negetively affect

brain development. However, some of the protocol overlaps with some DAN

protocols(no dairy, no cherry/berry, or red or blue food coloring, valtrex, anti

fungals when appropriate...) The results we've seen with him have been MUCH

better than we were seeing with DAN.

Good Luck.

,

If you do not mind, what medical insurance do you have and how are they

covering phone consultations?

Thanks

Screen actors guild producer's health plan (Anthem Blue cross) also Medi-Cal as

secondary. I do Not believe they cover phone consultations.
