Need questions for DAN doctor we will be seeing.

[Guest guest]

Hi guys,

Thought I would ask the groups if they could offer suggestion of what

I should be asking the DAN doctor we all see April 26...it seems like

a year from now...but he was busy and the only one availiable in my

town.

KiKi is getting better by the day...today she said " ball " after

finding one on the floor and brining it to he Daddy to show thim

the " ba " . There is no doubt that we are on the right track and I do

not doubt for a minute that this SCDIET is not the right plan for us.

This is the only thing that makes since to us. In the last three

weeks I have had to gain enough humility to put aside other research

from the last year/before taking Elaine's message to heart.....no one

could help us until now....I was desperate for any answers I could

get.......as two scared parents we where on our own before this list

serve....no doctor had advice (yet lucky enough to find ones that

would work with us and look into things with us... I am self educated

about this after reading countless books and having many prayers for

help answered....and realize that you guys know much more than me/us

and that as parents we have so much to learn from all of you in

learning how to heal ourselves and our sick children. It is very

frightening to see one self go from 230lbs down to 124 and not be

intentionaly dieting and at that eating 3000 calories a day and still

be loosing!.....and then to make matters worse see your baby starving

too and slip into ASD related symptoms and your son be labeled

ADHD....for apperently no reason the doctors could tell why....nor did

some of them act like they cared. Too many couldn't help us....too

many had no answers.....thank you for being here!

Today we are on 3 weeks and two days...by the time we see this Dan it

will be over two months on SCDiet....I suspect we will be feeling much

better by then....will he still be helpful?

Has anybody have experience treating ASD with just diet and with no

DAN as help? Is this even wise....?

I am willing to do anything for my kids/self/family...but after what

we have been through the last year with ill informed doctors...don't

want to waste time money and patience on a meeting with a doctor that

might be a " waste " of time. I do not want to medicate my kid's, and

do not know what these DAN doctors are about. It is my hope that they

rely mostly on diet. Been to DAN web sites and got scared.

Who do you have an appointment with?

Perhaps someone on the list has experience with the particular doctor.

I will say that our DAN! doctor is not quick to prescribe medication,

but does so when medically needed. I have been very, very pleased

with our DAN! doctor.

As for whether there is more than can be done besides diet, that will

depend on your individual needs. It is possible that there are other

issues that could improve with supplements. Then again, it could be

that diet will be enough for your family. Most DAN! doctor runs

Organic Acid Tests and stool tests. Oftentimes, thyroid function is

considered as well as viral issues, etc.
