Re: Pediatrician & I were at same resort: crosspost

[Guest guest]

Janice, sounds like fate to me. Maybe this doctor will now help other

children, and that help and information will be passed onto other doctors,

parents,

and children. You owe yourself a pat on the back.

Seeing your post also reminds me that I keep meaning to look into the NACD.

In fact, we have a home program through the school district, and I did mention

the NACD to them. Do you know anyone whose therapists/teachers have been

trained through the NACD? thanks, Carolyn

Good Gosh. Loved the story of the day! It is just wonderful that you are

helping so many including doctors. Today, the ENT removed Charlie's right

ear tube and was surprised at how wonderful he was doing. i.e. no ear

infections, drastically improved speech...I explained and he looked at me

politely and asked what doc was watching over him. I shared with him that I

did keep in touch with his ped. but the DAN! and a nutritionist have him

under control. When I took my 7 month old to the ped last week, I told the

doc about Charlie, who did not come along on this visit, and he said sounds

keep doing what you are doing. Just down right scary what could have

happened with our children. Not that the docs are bad people, just doing

what they are trained to do. I am at least glad to see the ped for giving

probiotics to the little ones now. I am just tired of having these people

look at me like I am crazy. It is great to have understanding.

Thanks for Sharing.

So....

Ready for a morning story?

Those of you who read know our story, know that many times I have vowed to

give my pediatrician who did little but offer Ritalin to Mark a smack on the

side of the head should I ever run into him on the street.

The week before Christmas, my spouse with his son, Mark, Mackenzie & I

boarded for our destination to Neuvo Vallarta. On day 2, I was lying there

on the beach and Mackenzie said, " Mom, I think that's Dr. Roseman on the

beach next to us. " Now my children are actually second cousins with this

chaps' kids so my children DO know this family via their relatives on their

Dads side.... albeit quite distantly. Sure enough, she was right. The man

who saw my son, 'misadvised me', and basicly did nothing was sunning himself

almost directly adjacent to us!

I went over like a polite gal and said 'hi'. We chatted for a bit and then I

went about my business of 'vacationing'. Over the next week, I couldn't

shake this family. Everywhere we went.... they were there!

Finally, day 4, the good doc began to speak of Mark..... how well he

appeared to be doing and what was it that I was doing for him? Well.... the

floodgates lifted and I spoke in depth about NACD, how their programs were

helping Mark and I spoke of the metabolic tests we had run for him, his

bouts of digestive issues, intestinal permeability and the vitamin protocol

we were now on. I did 'not' speak of heavy metals as I didn't want to scare

the chap off but I did indicate that Mark's low glutathione levels made it

very difficult for him to detoxify his body naturally.

My ex-pediatrician had heard of none of this stuff and was astonished that I

could get such testing for Mark in Edmonton. I noted to him that none of the

tests were covered by our health-care system and that all had to be done

through US labs. He wrote down the name of NACD, their website indicating

that he simply didn't know what to do for the ASD kids.... he had no

resources or help to offer them.

I looked at my brand new copy of Dr. Jepsons book and realized that this was

actually fate. I walked over to my lounger, kissed my beloved book good-bye

and gave it to this pediatrician who has a gazzillion kids to see every day.

Wonder if he will read it?

Now, is that 'fate', 'destiny' or what?

In the end, I felt sorry for this doctor. He is faced with the job of giving

little hope to parents. His training or lack thereof does not equip him to

actually help kids with neurodevelopmental disorders.... just to placate

them. Part of it angers me and part of it deeply saddens me.

But a higher power was on my side..... for this man had the opportunity to

watch Mark every single day for a week! Mark was completely NT when we were

in Mexico and has just now begun to regress since we have come back to the

cold.

This doctor had the opportunity to 'see' that what I was doing.... worked!

That is my little Mexico story.... funny or what? Hopefully, Dr Jepsons'

book will give my 'ex-pediatrician' the smack on the side of the head that

he so profoundly needs!

I loved your story! If the DR has any sense - he will read the book from

cover to cover and maybe

even contact DR Jepson.

Just think this could be the road to recovery for so many children. Your

son's, your families suffering

may well, help so many more.

Pay it forward ~ big time!

Around here, they would call you " a class act " . That was an elegant

response to a difficult situation and will probably prove to be more

effective than a slap upside the head. Although some do deserve a

What I do love about the story is that he wrote the stuff down. He

cares. That will go far in this. I never thought, regardless of the

way we were treated, that the docs did not care. I often felt they

did not know. That I could live with. The lack of curiousity I could

not.

What exactly does neurotypical refer to though? Does that mean the person's

Neurotypical or NT is used to refer to a child who is basicly without issues or

a 'typical' person or kid.

NDD is used to signify neurodevelopmentally delayed without specifying in what

manner such as ASD or DCD or dyspraxia or SPD.

It is easier sometime to say NT when comparing our children rather than saying

my 'normal' child. This is insulting to our children who have issues and delays

and is not considered politically correct. So we use the term NT so that

everyone realizes that this is a child or person without delays....

Hope I explained this okay....

Janice, no, my daughter definitely is not Neurotypical. We discovered after

a second MRI done at age 5 that she has PVL (tiny cysts from lacking oxygen at

birth). She doesn't have the physical impairments that you would see

typically with CP, but has SI, severe apraxia, and auditory processing

disorder. I

appreciate all the information you are giving me. Carolyn

we had run for him, his bouts of digestive issues, intestinal

did indicate that Mark's low glutathione levels made it very

I think this is true but I think the publishing thing is tricky and

opens some DANs up to witch hunts as has been seen in the past. It is

sad because so much needs to change. Docs not schooled on the

differences between labels and the right therapies that apply to what

lbels and to the individual kid's needs. Doctoring is no easy job

and, even if there were studies that proved this docs cannot control

compliance. It is a hard job for sure. I look forward to watching the

positive changes and seeing your study as I believe it will get the

ball rolling.
