Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Hi Deborah, I am definately of the same opinion as you are - kids do get taken away from their parents, AND, behind the scences, GPs are being struck off for helping parents. THIS IS A HUGE SCANDEL. I have been in nutritional/functional/alternative medicine a long time and seen " alternative " medical doctors hounded from this country and some practitioners too. This has happened in the USA as well (not just with autism, but with any effective alternative treatments for say, cancer etc). I keep my head down and try to get on with my job altho I have been the victim of vindictive doctors on two occasions. My daughter was officially diagnosed with four diagnoses on her tenth birthday AND WE HAVENT SEEN A DOCTOR/CONSULTANT SINCE (well, apart from GP to sign DLA form!)- I am so frightened of social services getting involved because of my implementing bio-med. I tell no-one but hubby and other bio-med families that we do chelation, MB12 etc. Everyone should take this very seriously.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Jean This is terrifying, how can we change things if this is the case?

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 It probably depends on each individual GP or health professional in question. I have blunted things out in the past but have now decided to keep my mouth mostly shut (easier said than done lol). Will try it this way in future (if anyone comments on the big difference in his behaviour, as was the case with our speech therapist): first mention just the milder and more comfortable words like 'vitamins' or 'fish oils' and see how that goes down, than maybe mention 'diet' and 'supporting the immune system'... etc, but will definitely avoid the scary words like 'shots' 'naltrexone' or 'chelation of metals'.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 I have kept my son's Pead Consultant and GP informed all the way. They also have all the test results we have had taken. The only thing they seem concerned about is that he is still wetting the bed - and they have made me another appointment for November. I do feel a little concerned that people would keep their GP out of the picture. This gives the impression that we are doing something underhand ?

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Yes I agree. If your GP gives you grief then change them! Having had ropy GPS for years I've had 2 good ones in a row and it makes a difference. My GP always says " ok I don't understand this what's it all about " but is fine and interested, and we joke about vaccinations (but he never hassles me). My paed is useless, but recently been seeing his registrar and she is very interested in the biomedical stuff. Got to dash- dinner is served!
