Guest guest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 , First of all, I cannot tell you what to do with your husband. But if that was mine, I would focus on my child. It is okay to question and we should; however, if you are seeing progress than you are probably on the right path. The labs will tell you what to do. I hope you have done them. If not you need to do so. We are using a homeopathic MD DAN! So my experience is different than yours. Homepathic MDs cannot give injections. There is something in the Borage oil that helps these kiddos. Stay with what works. If you need more Omega 3, like I did, I added 1 tsp of Arctic Cod Liver Oil - Nordic Naturals Brand. Presto. Major changes. Perhaps you need to speak with Dorfman www.kellydorfman.com she is a terrific nutritionist who may be a good advocate as well for you and your husband. I use Dorfman and DAN! Have him read Changing the Course of Autism. I am glad to see your sence of urgency for your child. That is what you need to focus on. Colleen Mother of Charlie 30 months [ ] ????? DAN Visit Hi Everyone, I had a DAN visit today, and have a few questions. First of all, my son takes two capsules of the Nordic Naturals Complete Omega 3-6-9's with Borage oil each day. He was saying only a few babble words before the Omegas, and I personally feel they're the reason why he's able to speak at all. He still has issues with intonation, prosidy and intelligibility as well as motor planning (just getting it out -- but, he's verbal). Well the doctor suggested that I NOT give him or discontinue the Omega 3 6 9s and give him Omega 3 (only). I told him that I couldn't do that -- my baby's talking, blah, blah, blah.....he said something about the 6's being for malnourishment, etc....but then said " ok, just give additional 3's on top of what you're doing " ..... what do you think?? Has anyone heard this? I don't want to mess up the balance and do something that's going to change my son's progress. Secondly, the doctor wants to add vitamin B (the injections). Has anyone done this before?? Thirdly, the DAN is a bit odd, but I like him- I at least think he's ok and knows what he's doing. This is my second DAN visit, and the first one was a nightmare. This doctor seems smart and up with current information, but my husband DID NOT like him AT ALL. He's now (my husband) questioning everything, withdrawing support and he's afraid that the DAN and I will do something to hurt him (our son). Yes, the DAN was odd, but Sacramento seems to be an absolute WASTELAND for DANs and people seeking biomed approaches to neurodisorders. Now, without the support of my husband, I feel VERY isolated and alone (even more than before). Also, since my husband has committed absolutely NO TIME to the research of anything (associated with my son's illness), and he's contributed NO TIME to my son's homework/therapy, etc.....I'm feeling pretty mad! Anyway, don't know where I'm going with this " thirdly stuff " , just probably needed to get it out. Does anyone do B12 injections and only Omega 3, or have any information on them.....? I'll appreciate any information, etc..... Thank You __________________________________________________________ Helping your favorite cause is as easy as instant messaging.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 I've gotten some labs done, and am getting more done through the DAN. I don't know the results of the earlier labs, yet -- they haven't sent information, yet. I know I need to let the results steer t he treatment.....the DAN did recommend the B12 injections, but I'd have to give the injections. I'd give my son the shots, not a doctor. I know my husband will be opposed to this, too. I'll try the Dorfman site. The DAN also explained some of the behaviors that I was seeing with my son. He said that when you have some of the breakthroughs that along come more behaviors or sensory issues.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Maybe your husband would feel better if your child was being seen by an MD who just happens to work exclusively with " injured " children? (injured meaning Autism/Appraxia, ect). I know that laws vary from state to state, but in Texas the law is that the physician has to physically see the child 1 time per year. The rest of the labs, ect can be done long distance and via phone calls. Your husband might have a better understanding of what you are doing if he read up on the DAN! protocol - Dr. J. McCandless' book " Children with Starving Brains " is an excellent resource - it explains what is wrong/why it is wrong and how to biomedically treat our kids. I know there are several clinics throughout the US who do just " our kids " - Thoughtful House - Dr. Jepson - Austin, TX Dr. Jeff Newbrander (sp?) - Florida McCarthy's doctor - Kansas ? Dr. Cave - Baton Rouge, LA Dr. Megson - location? Dr. McCandless - location? maybe CA? I know there are also some on the east coast. There has to be someone close to California. Anyone out there know of any others? Maybe your husband was put off by the DAN! title vs. " I am an MD who specializes in Autism/Apraxia, ect " . or - I could be totally off base. We did B12 injections a few years ago - I really didn't see that many WOWs, but I also think that the rest of her gut and absorbtion was off, so who knows. Dr. Jepson mentioned that we would probably be going that route again. They are easy to give, the needle is tiny and very thin, and I just gave it in her upper leg while she was asleep. Pulling down PJ's and undies always woke her up and then it was a battle. We just got back from our initial visit to Dr. Jepson at Thoughtful House, so my opinions right now may seem biased. It is fresh on my brain so I'm sharing the info. (see previous post on our visit) I'm babbling. Good luck! Stephanee > > > I've gotten some labs done, and am getting more done through the DAN.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 My sister does the mB12 shots with my niece, but she has a different set of problems. (No apraxia.) The shots are very easy to administer, as the needle is tiny. Her DAN has her on just Omega 3's. I think both of those are common DAN treatments. Our DAN put Tyler on a small amount of cod liver oil (1/4 tsp.), and I told him that if it's apraxia the 3-6-9 works better. He said fine, give him both. We are having a hard time getting it into him (he's 18 months old), so it's too soon to say what will work. We have had no burst of language with either DMG or the fish oil thus far, and I am very frustrated! We had such immediate success with , so my expectations are probably not realistic. in NJ > > > Hi Everyone, I had a DAN visit today, and have a few questions.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 I have only one thought.... Our diet in the US contains an abundance of Omega 6 (in our many baked goods and in so many products using inexpensive soy based oils as additives) and we ( not just our kids) are deficient in Omega 3's. It is thought that this may be contributing to the obesity epidemic. Having an imbalance between omega 6 and omega 3 (in the form of too much Omega 6) leads to inflammation which is that hallmark of many disease processes including heart disease. So maybe the DAN was focusing on that and trying to get the Omega 3's in balance (and thus not deficient) and that is why he wanted you to stop Omega 6 supplementation. DAN's are real " big " on stopping the inflammatory process and feel that many of the issues that we see in autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders may be based, at least in part, to inflammation. So, while I can't speak for the guy, this may be where he was coming from. I can tell you from our experience, we use Nordic Naturals and the Omega 3's are much higher than the 6's. And we have seen tremendous progress. So I think you should be okay to just add in more 3's as long as your child doesn't start bruising, etc. Regarding your husband..... Is it possible that there is another DAN in your area that your husband could relate to a bit better? The DAN journey is a long one and it will be a hard row to hoe if your husband is not part of the team.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Thaks Colleen and Liz, Great things to consider and remember in both of you posts. My son is doing amazing well since I've begun biomed interventions. He's currently up to four and five word phrases (33 months), and getting new words each day. If it weren't for the prosidy, intonnation, and intelligibility issues, he'd certainly be age appropriate. Looking back, there were definite indicators of dyspraxia (at least the threat), so I really feel we're moving in the right direction. I'm very grateful for everyone's help, and for this site. @...: lizlaw@...: Sat, 19 Jan 2008 22:28:12 +0000Subject: [ ] Re: ????? DAN Visit Men take longer to get this and it stinks.
