I consider myself intelligent, altho most people equate attorneys right there with insurance brokers and used car salesmen, one step above [or was that below?] slime mold. But I don't understand most of the scientific/chemistry stuff either. I just know what makes sense, and what works. You don't have to understand the science, altho many times it helps to have the layperson translation. > > [ what I think is yeast overgrowth in our daughter...which might also be a > > B-deficiency or perhaps its lack of folic acid or maybe it's the > > corticosteroid lotions she's had to have for her > > autoimmune disorder...] Steroids tend to increase yeast.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 For me, information is the key to understanding what's going on. I found these books to be helpful along the way. Most I've read, some are a resource: " Changing the Course of Autism: A Scientific Approach for Parents and Physicians " by Dr. Jepson with Jane " Healing the Childhood Epidemics:Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies " by Dr. Bock " Children With Starving Brains: A Medical Treatment Guide for Autism Spectrum Disorder " by Dr Jaquelyn McCandless " Biological Treatments of Autism and PDD " by Dr Shaw " Amalgam Illness Diagnosis and Treatment, A book on how to cure mercury poisoning " Hall Cutler, PhD, PE in MD Re: [ ] Re: mouth sore > >> > Dana.....I have to ask.
