Guest guest Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Defeat Autism Now Doctor's who approach autism as biomedical and treatable using supplements, metal removal (chelation), HBOT, IVIG, and a host of other interventions. They are very different than your typical doctors who know very little about the medical issues associated with autism and only offer therapy as a solution.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Defeat Autism Now! -- A project by the Autism Research Institute. The bible of the project is " Autism: Effective Biomedical Treatments " . This book gives top-notch descriptions of the diet, supplement, and metabolic ideas pooled by DAN! authorities. I'd make one important caveat, basing it on my experience with my daughter, age 4 and practically speechless. The DAN! information is not the same as your grandson's. The book has taught me dozens of things to look for and possibilities that could be worth exploring for my daughter, but what's been most revealing are the results of tests and observations which the book doesn't cover well or at all. Early on I had my daughter's blood serotonin level checked; it turned out to be extremely low; that one fact is leading me and my DAN! doctor toward trying 5-HTP. Keep your mind open and study test results carefully for clues about exactly what's happening in your grandson's body and brain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
