Grammy, yes Megson says she is SCD Friendly

[Guest guest]

Dear Grammy,

I saw Dr. Megson yesterday. I asked her if she would like to be

recommended as an SCD friendly doctor. She said, " Absolutely! " She

says that it isn't always the first diet she recommends simply

because as parents are beginning to find out about their children's

diagnosis, the labor of the diet will put many people " over the

edge. " However, she feels it is better than GF/CF, and if the

parents are willing to do it, she is very supportive of their choice.

In our appointment yesterday, she commented that my children have

the " ideal childhood " because I have them on SCD as well as

homeschool and stay-at-home with them. This was such a boost for me

because I lot of times I am criticized for these same things.

Hey Jen,

Yes, she is one of the best DANs in the nation. She has the highest recovery

rate of autistic patients in the country (at least that is what I have been told

by a couple different sources). She does not take insurance because they do not

reimburse very well for the treatments and labs she seeks out for her kids.

However, her office does provide forms that you can file with your insurance

agency on your own (which is what we are doing).

She worked with the insurance companies for a long time, but she was facing the

possibility of needing to close her practice since the insurance

" reimbursements " weren't covering the bills and the salaries of her staff. So

rather than close her practice, she had to stop taking insurance. Unfortunately

some DANs have this dilemna. As I understand it, Dr. Mumper is

currently having to make the same decision.

Due to all this, the initial appointments and labs that she runs on her patients

do cost quite a sum. But she is so fantastic that I think it is worth the

expense. We are currently taking all three of our kids to her, and I don't

regret spending a single penny even though there aren't many pennies left. I

would do it all over again and again and again.

She is well informed, constantly researching, LOVES her patients, and yet she

will many times still defer to the parents' wishes, observations, and opinions

because she knows that we know our kids best.

She is very supportive of any parent that chooses SCD and admires the parents

that are willing to choose it in spite of it being more labor intensive than

other recommended diets.

In case you can't tell, I love Dr. Megson. My kids are recovering from their

issues, and this woman gets a large share of the credit for that. Without the

guidance of her and her nutritionist, Payne (also familiar and

supportive of those on SCD), I am certain that Elle would have regressed into

some degree of autism at this point. Margeaux would still be having social and

cognitive problems due to her ADD (these problems have basically disappeared

already). And would be following in Margeaux's footsteps.

All these things are changing in our home. SCD and this list are major factors

in our progress, but Dr. Megson and Payne have been the primary

individuals to lead us out of this nightmare (partially because they suggested

this diet). I am so thankful to the Lord for bringing us to their doorstep when

He did.

LONG LIVE DR. MEGSON AND MICHAEL PAYNE 8) !

Subject: Re: Grammy, yes Megson says she is " SCD Friendly "

Is she a DAN! doc? Does she take insurance? Still stuck without a lot of

help here and getting depressed from the plateau instead of seeing more

progress. I think K has a phenol isuue which I found that vaccines are

loaded with(phenols). I ahven't dealt with this yet except for taking those

foods away. Not sure if she can take enzymes of gastrocrom and have no more

$ to buy them anyway. Jenn & K

How much would the first appt. be? We are in the process of doing a benefit

for Kali for the month of April. We have no credit cards, and my husband is

the only one who works. We pinch pennies just to live. We are in the process

of losing our trailer and only vehicle. Please pray for Kali. Can you give

me a phone # for her? We were going to try to get her into Dr. Bradstreet

but, he is currently not taking any new patients and we live in NY. Thanks,

Jenn & K
