I have not gone to the center, due to lack of funds, but would really like to

have my

daughter seen by them someday. I have heard so many good things about them. I

have an

e-mail friend who lives in Bloomington that took her autistic son the the center

and

she has nothing but good things to say about them. She says they are very

expensive

(the initial visit is around $1000), but worth the cost. They treat their

patients

with care and respect, and are very supportive and helpful. They make their own

vitamins and supplements there and, after all the tests are performed, they

formulate

the supplements to specifically meet the individual's needs. My friend in

Bloomington

pays around $140 per month for these supplements, but she says she has seen some

really good improvements since her son has been on them. She also said that she

did

not actually deal with the doctor on a personal basis. The staff members took

care of

everything, while consulting with the doctor.

Hope this helps,
