TCM Study Participants have been decided! AND Now Accepting Private Patients

January 13, 2009

Hi everyone, I wanted to let you all know we have taken the next step in the

study of treat spectrum disorders with Chinese medicine. My original plan

of 3-4 kids went by the wayside when I saw the response and the study has

now accepted 10 participants! Unfortunately some were not accepted, but

even more exciting will be my ability to work with them on a private basis,

so that we will be able to tailor the treatment more to their needs.

Along those lines, I have been knee deep in research, and have also been

scouting out the field of Chinese medicine in the treatment of spectrum

disorders. I can only find two other practitioners who " specialize " in the

treatment on ASD disorders. I contacted one of those and asked for a

consult and was told even as a fellow colleague that a half hour

consultation (just a consultation) would be $80.00. Yikes, in my world at

least, this is not affordable, so I have come up with a sliding scale (just

like I do in my regular practice) for herbal treatment.

Initial Consult Charge (includes regular Monthly Consult Charge): $60 - $100

sliding scale

Monthly Consult Charge: $30 - $60 sliding scale

Monthly Herb Charges: varies approximately $20 - $80, NOT BY SLIDING SCALE

Even though at times it is really hard to see my son's Autism as a gift, I

think in a lot of ways it has been. I am honored to be part of such an

incredible community, and I am even more honored to be a resource of help

and to give back all the help that I have been given along this journey.

If there is in anyway I can help you, please let me know.

And keep your eyes open for results from the study within 4 months or so,

although I am sure there will be talk of it along the way!
