[QUOTE="Josie, post: 291738, member: 1792"] I think if you do the research on what you are looking for or who is a good practioner, you can avoid some of that. One of the reasons I haven't done too much with one doctor that I found is that he doesn't tell me when to come back. I went to him thinking he could help me figure out what supplements I should take that would be helpful for my condition. Sure, I have done the research but there are so many possibilities and I thought he could tell me what has worked for his patients instead of me floundering around trying 100 different supplements. I hear about the successes with the girlfriend/CF diet mostly because I am in a celiac group where everyone is on the diet. I have a tendency to believe in it because it worked in my family with such astonishing success. (Disclaimer - If my daughter or I have any gluten and/or milk, it is pretty ugly and no one would call it a success. In my case, I am worse off than before.) It isn't a placebo effect. I never wanted to be on this diet and didn't even think I had problems before. I honestly don't think anyone would be on this diet if it didn't help them. It is too inconvenient. My daughter probably wouldn't look any different to most people on the outside but trust me, there is a difference at home. Actually, when we first started it, three people told me that she looked more "relaxed". She didn't display her GFGish behaviour outside the house for the most part, so something in her expression had changed. I know a person that took her son to a DAN doctor. This one is an actual doctor with an MD. He is the one that suggested the girlfriend/CF diet to her. She tried it thinking she needed to do it just so she would know it wasn't going to work but within 2 days he stopped crying constantly. That improved but he still didn't talk at all. Eventually, she took him back to the DAN doctor who asked her if she was giving him the supplements (purchased at a different place). She had not been giving them because it is difficult to give 12 supplements to a 3 year old so she started. Within a month, he started talking and quickly caught up to where he should be. I never saw this child before so I don't know what he looked like then but he looks NT to me. He was diagnosis'ed with autism. Yes, the supplements/talking could be a coincidence. She believes it is not, though. Those of us who have seen natural methods work do have almost a religious fervor about it. If you want to see it, just tell us that diets/supplements don't work and it is a placebo effect.:happy: [/QUOTE]
