I have been promoting ThreeLac on this site,and been giving it to my son for two years. HOWEVER I just read a couple of articles out there that there is a strain of bacteria in threeLac that can be dangerous! It is the enterococcus faecalis, which is only found in this probiotic. The Australian Health Department baned it in their country. This type of bacteria can be found in some sick hospitals. Studies are showing that this bacteria can make a person resistent to antibiotics as well. I will post the full article, and please if you know any information on this, please feel free to share it with me thank you. I started my son on Yukcult drink

I am into biomedical world, I have heard many good things about this. GFCF didnt work tried forever. I have been using oral chelation and clay bath since it is a cheaper way to use it. However I have been on the MB12 (methyl-B12) for around off and on almost two years now. Initially I had to pay 750 dollars for the evaluation of the DAN! Dr. then 60 bucks a month for the injections. And one follow up for 200. Now hes refusing to renew the B12 injections for me unless I make a evaluation appointment every year! thats 750 a year! Im concerned that I smell a scam. However I have seen little improvement in my son, but still have noticed! I feel awful that I cant afford 750, since I hear people drop thousands at a time. I live in a middle class home, but have four other mouths to feed. Do you think he is scamming me? or is this protocol for Mb12 injections

I have to add on a side note of my previous blog, that even though I disagree with some of the approaches that Jenny Mcarthy implies in her books ie "autism is curable" "you should fork over thousands for biomedical treatments" I do think she should be praised in her efforts to bring attention about this particular disorder. By using her semi-celebrity status, I think she brought more awareness to others in our community about autism.

I tried to contact three different rescue angels from Jenny's Generation Rescue Site...I emailed three different women and not one of them emailed me or called me back. It has now been over a month, so I am not to thrilled with a resource she offers on her site that does not pan out. Maybe I should try one more time to contact one, but usually in my book, three strikes and you are out. I will have to see if I think it's worth it to try try again.

I think this word "cured" out there is being used incorrectly for autism. Our autistic children are not diseases that need to be "cured" from. However through this world of bio-medical threats, these, at least in my case, helps improve their life. Autism as I was told at a convention, is not degenerate, this needs to be known to parents who have children with autism. Do not worry mom and dads, autism is not degenerate. Therefore there is nothing to go but up! The brain will develop in its own pace. And there things you can do to help this process even more: Gluten Free Casein Free diet. (this can get expensive, and it is difficult to do, but people have done it, I however couldnt do it, tried it 4 times in my child's 5 years of life) There is Methyl-B12 which is suppose to be the most effective (90 percent success) and the cheapest (50 dollars a month, this doesnt include the examination fee of the DAN! Dr which for me was 700 dollars). go to www.tacanow.org for more info on b12
There is Chelation, which for us non-rich folks, with all the testing that the DAN dr charges, and the treatments, it cost thousands! Dont beat yourself up if you feel that "hey I just dont have like 4 grand laying around!" On a side note, that's what bothered me about Jenny's book, she implied that you were not a good parent if you did not fork over thousands, charge up your credit cards, and loose you house for Bio-medical treatments! this to me was hogwash, she has no clue obviously what its like being just middle class family, that has other dependents other than her only child.
OK back to Chelation. www.evenbetternow.com sells oral chelat drops and a detox clay baths for children and adults. These are reasonable prices too! And you dont have to loose your home over it!
Another treatment I have been using for my son is ThreeLac (recommended in Jenny's book) It is a probiotic, and helps control the "leaky gut issues" this is the cheapest seller of ThreeLac. www.threemax.biz you can order it by email or by phone: mwinicki@yahoo.com or 716-373-0983. This is also reasonable 50 something bucks every two months.
So there are ways to get around the who total DAN! Dr expenses. I am a middle class mom, and I can afford all of these treatments. So far all of these: Chelate, detox clay bath, B12, and probiotic. seems to be helping my 5 year old, I have seen an improvement in him! and so has his teachers (ABA teachers, OT, and speech)

Whether or not your child is "cured" is debatable, but I look at it like this- I think before my girly girl was on the diet, she was continuing to receive brain damage from everything she was sensitive to. Now that she is on the diet, and we have chelated her, etc. (DAN! Treatments galore) She is no longer getting daily brain damage, so in a sense she is "cured". There will always be a certain amount of brain damage left, which will always be with us- autism will always be with us. We have had some really great success reversing some of the damage with HBOT treatments, and seen her grow and prosper in ways we thought weren't possible before. And before the treatments none of it was possible- it didn't matter if she had therapy, none of it stuck. Now she can really learn. Anyway, she is 15 now. Hang in there, Moms and Dads, it gets better as they get older for a lot of these kids.

Well if want information that gives flase hope then visit jennys site or site jenny is featured on. Jenny claims her son is cured from autism! U decide!

I have not yet read the book, so i do not have an opinion on it one way or the other. I do however, have a question. What is a DAN doctor? I have heard of many treatments for people on the spectrum, but I have never heard of a DAN doctor. I have a son with PDD and wonder if this could be helpful to me. Thanks.

I have not read the new book. Is it worth checking out?

Question. Discuss. Learn.

Asperger’s syndrome is a form of mild autism that often goes undetected. New years 2008: my little brother Chris dropped dead - a moving testimony to a brother with asperger's syndrome, by zen peace. This is an enlightening new book that details a doctor's decline into depression, and highlights the signs of Asperger's Syndrome in childhood, adolescence and adulthood. A good primer.

While I have read the book I find it informational and hope it helps millions.  Although, I think her son had a unique situation I feel it gives false hope to all of us who have tried all of the remedies and our children have not gotten better.  I saw her on Larry King and while I admire her for her perserverence I feel that her solutions are not the only ones and as you all know every child with autism is different just as every typical child is.  Just my 2 cents!

I am an Early Childhood Special Education teacher. I teach an ECLIPSE program, which is a model program for children with and without disabilities. The school that I work in is a title 1 school... based on the amount of low-income families in the community whose children attend our school. I just finished reading Jenny McCarthy's book, "Louder Than Words," and I loved it! It left me with several ideas of options to give to the parents in my class who have children with autism. I know that they will not be able to afford many of these things, but it at least gives them information that they might not be able to find elsewhere; to help them better understand what their child may be going through and ways that we can help. We can take these ideas and options and come up with more "real life" ways to use them. I really enjoyed reading this book and am looking forward to her next one!
