PEPTIDE TESTING, MERCURY TESTING, ETC.

[Guest guest]

I have a very skeptical pediatrician. What can I do to get her to

order these tests? I have my 3 YO son on a GFCF diet now, but it may

be some time before I see a great deal of results, if I do any at

all. We just started gf this week, so time will tell. I'm in

Florida. Thanks!

If at all possible, see a DAN doctor. If not, visit autism-mercury

egroup for info on how to get tested for heavy metal toxicity.

For a list of DAN doctors, go to www.autism.com. We've only be able

to have 2 visits in 15 months, but it was worth it (and that's an

understatement)!

The reply to that question at the recent DAN conference would have been " if

they are not for, they are against it " . speaking of the diet and biological

treatments, that is. Our ped was against everything we did with our twins,

even threatened to turn us in to child protective services for malnourishing

them over the whole dairy thing. We left that practice, needless to say. We

found a DAN doctor in our area that is very reasonable, a psychiatrist, who

helped us order all the tests then helped us find a doctor to interpret the

results and what needed to be done. He got the ball going for us and worked

it into our insurance coverage, for once. donna in kingwood,tx

I would contact Dr. Jeff Bradstreet of Palm Bay, FL. He has done phone

conferencing with other physicians explaining these tests. His partner, Dr.

Kartzinel, outdoubtedly would, as well. FYI, both of these physicians have

family members with autism, so you couldn't contact a more " in tune " doctor

than these 2 that specialize in autism research.

Their phone number is . Their web site is www.gnd.org. They

speak worldwide about their research and personally know Bernard Rimland,

Seroussi, the big shots in this area of medicine.

Good luck!
