Re:Article re autoimmune in NY Times

[Guest guest]

I've not posted here before..yes, a lurker! I was diagnosed with

systemic scleroderma in Oct 2009, 2 years to the day after my breast

cancer diagnosis. I have been on doxycycline (Dr. Franco) since Jan.

with good results. I also have a son with autism. We've been doing

biomedical treatments for 4.5 years with incredible results. All this

to say, I attended the Autism One conference in 2008 and sat in on a

lecture about helminthic therapy. Autism One has a lot of great

presentations on immune system functioning. I looked it up and below

is the link on their website to the powerpoint presentation I sat in

on. The woman presenting has a son who (is, was?) pretty severely

affected by autism...this therapy was quite helpful to her son.

Admittedly, I found it to be a hard therapy to consider....but I saw

her evidence of how it helped her family.

Just found a book (suggested by the author of the power point on

helminthic therapy from Autism One) that has a chapter in it on the

therapy. It can be found at amazon or and Noble: Not sure you

want to buy a book focused on autism, but perhaps you could peruse it

at the store.
