OT: Any one heard of or use byonetics along with other therapies? Any other therapy suggestions?

November 23, 2006

Thank you to all for sharing about their DAN doctors. I am interested in what

forms of therapy you use and what has been effective in conjunction with the

SCD?

My boys are 2 1/2 and are not in any therapy yet. We have an appointment next

week with a Developmental Pediatrician and will hopefully get onboard with

speech and OT with help in sensory integration issues.

In reading on the internet, I have come across something called byonetics and

was wondering if anyone has had positive results using this in conjunction with

other therapies.

Has anyone seen sensory issues clear up with diet alone?

Thanks,

Donna,

We started speech about five months before scd, but didn't see pretty much any

results until we started the diet. We started occupational therapy about three

months after starting scd, and it has helped a lot. We've also started some

behavioral therapy, and that's helped a fair amount. You have to be pretty

careful about getting a fantastic therapist though. Our dan doctor has us

taking B12 and folinic acid. We did start seeing some good progress about two

weeks after starting those. We had an eight week round of transdermal chelation

that just finished last weekend. We saw huge progress every weekend that we did

treatments. Our dan doctor wanted to give us a couple of months on scd before

chelating because it can be hard on the gut, and she wanted to allow some good

healing time. I do love Dr. O'Hara because she is very cautious about just

trying out different treatments willy nilly. She knows that biomedical

interventions are expensive quite often, and that isurance rarely will cover it.

She doesn't want to waste our money. I'd definitely look for a dan doctor that

will support you whole heartedly in scd. Dr. O'Hara feels like scd is the best

diet, but says that many of her patients' parents are just not willing to do all

of the work that comes with it. Gfcf is easier because there are so many

commercially prepared foods available for that. I'm not getting any discount

for referals, really. I do recommend Dr. O'Hara very highly, butr I hope this

helps you in searching for your own dan doctor, too. Good luck. I hope I've

been helpful in answering some of your questions.
