[QUOTE="cmdh, post: 206, member: 2199"] Much to my surprise a leading pediatrician specialist at a leading Chicago hospital told me "most western medication has not been proven either"!!!!!!! Then he prescribed enzymes for difficult child and started acupuncture with her because western medication was not working. This same hospital I have been told is using various 'alternative' medicine approaches in other disciplines too. Yes the FDA is supposed to be our western medication safety check but this is the same federal agency that approved some of the drugs that have caused problems - many approved drugs have been pulled because of massive problems. Yes I do look to them for their guidance and I don't expect them to be god - but the agency is not perfect. This is the agency that guides drug therapies given by traditional doctors. In fact there are many drugs for children that have not been 'proven' because of lack of clinical trials.. Many are not recommended (FDA) for children but still given as therapies. I agree that autism can't be 'cured' but will stand behind the theory that in many children it can be 'controlled' to a point where the difficult child's can have a happy, productive life. I would be happy to host guests that would like to watch difficult child in an uncontrolled state and watch her transformation with alternative therapies. COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS if you have a difficult child with autism that is happy and productive without some kind of intervention. I as I suspect others on this board DO NOT. My difficult child can barely function without support. Western medication was not helping at all. We just happened to find an alternative approach that worked. As for the fact that we are using alternatives. Yes I freak out about it all the time - in fact I'm due for my daily melt down :Panic: ! I research, talk with others who have been through the same therapies etc. In fact it's a 1000 x more than I do for western medication that is given to me by difficult child pediatrician. Fran in fact if I found wood chips would do it we would be in line behind you! :Warrior: Are doctors preying on grieving, desperate families dealing with autism? ABSOUTELY. I've also heard plenty of stories about west medication dr's incompetence and putting their patients in harms way unnecessarily. I'm waiting to hear the autopsy results to decide further detox treatments for our difficult child. (by the way we were not doing IV. We were doing oral) I will not judge the families decision since I have not walked a mile in their shoes - I have NO IDEA why they decided to do the therapy. I just pray that they will find peace in spite of all this media frenzy. :Warrior: [/QUOTE]
