Re: OT-NIDS-PLEASE, READ!!!

Please post to me also, as I would like to know as well. I checked out

the NIDS website, but wasn't sure where to go with the information. Is

anyone using Goldberg's protocol with their own doctor, or do you have

to take your child to the man himself?

Thanks,

what it is, but, if true, Dr. Goldberg's success rate is amazing! I am

definitely interested in learning more about it, so if anyone out there

has information/experience they would like to share-please, respond to

the list or email me privately at vic2171@....

So, my question is what is the correct NIDS protocol. If Dr. G's

protocolisn't it, who's is? I am new to all of this and am very confused.

The first I had heard about NIDS was from Dr. G's website. Please someone,

direct me to the right info and protocol and/or Doctors.

Thanks,

That is great to hear! The more information we receive on the GFCF diet

survey, the clearer it is becoming how beneficial the elimination of both

gluten and casein is to most of our kids. For awhile I believe dairy was

okay in his protocol or maybe it was gluten?! LOL! He has done some

impressive things with ASD kids from what I've heard from parents following

his protocol. One day we will have subsets of this sprectrum and each

subset will be able to be treated most effectively from all of us right now

who are forging the way. Depending on the subset, I'm sure Dr.Goldberg will

probably fall in there some place as well as many other protocols.
