For those that believe ASD is Only hard wired/genetic

Post Reply New Topic

At least some of this stuff seems risky. I’ve read horror stories about chelation therapy.

I would go into this stuff with a high degree of skepticism.

It costs lots of money, too. For stuff which is unproven.

I'm a bit nonplussed that Pierre Fontaine discusses "Homeopathy for Autism and Pandas".
I mean, how are they in the same category?

At one time, Goldfish has a rainbow Mohawk. I don’t know what he has at present.

These are not the Pandas you are looking for PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated With Streptococcal Infections)

I was just noticing that there are zillions Richard Ewings walking the earth. How am I supposed to know which one is you per your invitation to come visit?

So first "it's late and I'm tired I'll get back this tmw morning ", then it's amazing blond boy over (whom you apparently measured and weighed), and now you're back again 4 hrs later.

I didn't come across any. Neither did ASPartOfMe apparently.

So you know exactly what they say, but you haven't seen any of them? Okay.....

I'll PM you my address. If you want my FB contact info that's no problem. You can go be a sleuth there and check out my digital footprint, too.

Yeah, I said it's late I'm tired because I wasn't going to post "F off for a bit, I'm getting laid," but *shrug* w/e. He was pretty amazing, though. Not perfect, but pretty amazing. Nah, I didn't measure him.. I was a bit off - he was taller come to think of it (it was dark and I wasn't completely sober) at 183cm so more like 6' than 5'7" & 77kg (so my ~160lb guess was pretty good) according to his Grindr profile. 4 hours? I didn't think that much time had passed.. hmm, we did good. Even if his height and weight wasn't listed, it's common practice to exchange age/height/weight & photos prior to such a meeting, so yeah, we (teh gays) know those stats about the boys we hookup with.

Is that not what the text is beneath the names of the photos of the speakers?

Wouldn't you need to test it on other people though - aka guinea pigs?
Is there anyone you know of who has followed your protocol and had positive results regarding autism symptoms?

Description:
A safe and simple action plan for autism parents.



Each year, more than 50,000 U.S. families receive an autism diagnosis. On top of turmoil and worry, they share the same urgent question: What can we do to help our child?



The answers parents find can be contradictoryeven dangerous. The conventional approach (employed by too many pediatricians) is to medicate difficult behaviors into submission-suppressing symptoms while leaving underlying health challenges untouched. Surfing the Internet for alternatives just leads to confusion.



Now, Dr. Janet Lintala, founder of the Autism Health center and an autism mom herself, shares the natural protocols used in her practice to dramatically improve the function and well-being of children on the spectrum. Drawing on the latest research developments, as well as personal and clinical experience, she targets the underlying issues (chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, gastrointestinal dysfunction, immune dysregulation) associated with the behavior, bowel, and sleep problems so common to autism.



Correcting these overlooked conditions with digestive enzymes, probiotics, antifungals, and other nonpsychiatric treatments brings transformative results: less pain, less aggression, and a child who is more receptive to behavioral and educational interventions.



While the medical profession is slow to change, autistic kids need help immediately. The Un-Prescription for Autism provides clear explanations, detailed protocols, and examples to help parents act quickly to restore their child's health, self-control, and language-paving the way for reaching their full potential.

A generic FB page with a different name and the address of a generic cookie cutter house. Quite vague.

Sure.

It's just the title of topics. Not the topics themselves to show they are exactly what you have been sharing here. Again, quite vague.

What is your explanation for changing, fluctuating, or worsening ASD symptoms?

I'm curious. Seriously.

Some people believe that ASD is solely caused by a different type of hard wired brain connectivity pattern and/or genetics. If this is the whole truth, then how does one explain their ASD symptoms changing, fluctuating, or worsening? It would seem to me that IF ASD were solely based on these fixed properties, that symptoms would remain fairly consistent.

What the story about a student doctor who did next to nothing and just you told you that you look healthy? What's his name? How about posting a photo of your examination results?

Considering the fact that you're inviting people to bring cameras and come visit you at home, I don't see as I'm asking for much under the circumstances.

btw you'll need to PM your name and address for the invitation you offered.

Ever lose your keys or phone, EzraS? When you find them, do you keep looking? No. Because you know it's your phone/keys/whatever.

I understand that people make mistakes. I also understand that even doctors make mistakes. (Hell, you'd think I'd be F U R I O U S with a misdiagnosis I've had for nearly 20 years that recently took seeing 5 or 6 different doctors and just as many pharmacists to eventually properly diagnose & treat, but instead I just smoked a lot of weed about it this Winter and took it as a lesson that doctors do the best they can & still make mistakes as to err is human, and in a ~decade I may be in such a position and will in fact make mistakes throughout my future career.. but all of that is unrelated to this - only acknowledging that both patients and doctors make mistakes.)

I know my diagnosis. It isn't a mistake. I am 100% confident it would be confirmed by any true expert in this field. I cannot fake the prosody of my voice, my lack of eye contact at times, my facial expressions, my formal vocabulary, the gait to my step when I walk - all of the subtle signs of AS. What I can do is manipulate my functioning levels via antibiotics/probiotics, diet, and food chemicals, in order to have them present unmistakably strongly Or so subtly my concern is that a Psychiatrist may say "Well, you display some very high functioning traits of AS, but not strong enough to cause any major social, life, or work impairments so you don't qualify for a diagnosis."

Anyways, when others criticized me in the past for not conducting a medical study on myself 5-6 years ago because I was too busy saving my own life from suicidal depression & overwhelmingly strong ASD symptoms and was not in a clear minded logical thinking mode of "I should document this entire process so that I have evidence to be discovered in the court of EzraS," my response, besides one big , was that sending myself back down the rabbit hole to ASD hell was not a fun experience, but that I would do it in the name of science should someone qualified to observe be willing to make the observation.

The next 5 years (hopefully not that long) will be different than the last. I'll do that and more. My contact at the youth homeless shelter I've raised money for knows a woman who is one of the founders of the Pacific Autism Family Network w/ a big shiny new building near the Vancouver Airport. I'll meet with her, tell her what I've learned and done, connect with whatever doctor(s) and resources she's willing to make available to me. AFAIK, the main Psychiatrists in BC who diagnose AS(D) are all at the University of British Columbia. Guess where the beach is that I go to nearly daily? UBC. I can not only email/phone them, but go knock on their doors. A fellow kiteboarder, Dr. Mark Goddley (a plastic surgeon from Australia), owns & operates The False Creek Healthcare Centre. He has an MRI machine. I could ask him if he'd be interested in contributing to this project by doing some scans. If he's not interested, there's a private MRI clinic down the street from my house and I looked up their online menu and it's around a grand for a head scan. I'd be interested in having my brain scanned simply to prove that it doesn't follow the NT connectivity map as per the Israeli ASD study published a few years ago that showed us that ASD brains are in fact differently, and uniquely from each other, wired. A carpenter I once worked with's mother was the founder of LifeLabs - it's the main biological sample testing laboratory company here where swabs & samples are sent to by doctors and hospitals for testing/analysis. I could ask him if he'd be able to connect me with her and see if if I could get access to lab testing for science project purposes. (I'm talking stool samples for some sort of bacteria count profile at different stages of health/functioning) If not, money buys access to anything and I'll simply have to take more time to earn more cash and pay for it. (I have money, but it's inaccessible-ish, so if I want something I have to work more for it. I've done this on purpose so that I can't be wasteful or sell investments at an inopportune time.) I have a bottle of unused Doxycycline from when I was instructed to discontinue use, and it may be enough to help send my symptoms into obvious mode one more time, but I could likely obtain more in order to have enough to complete transition from Dr. Jekyll back to Mr. Hyde. It's not a controlled substance/narcotic so I don't think it would be exceptionally difficult to persuade certain people in the medical field to slip me another bottle or two of it, especially considering that it's given out for free to patients using anonymous names at sexual health testing clinics.

And then you can send alex. He can come stay for a while - a month? Whatever it takes. I'll show him, on camera, how I can manipulate my symptoms. He can feel free to interview anyone in my life that will agree to it - some of my immediate family will, others won't. Other friends/family in my story I can easily persuade to do this. The friend who's house I stayed at 6 years ago when I couldn't function or work. My Aspiest uncle. Aunts/cousins, the pretty little gay boy I dated briefly a couple Winter's back, my high school best friend who's seen how much I've changed, my cousin who said at Christmas Dinner a few years back "You seem.. happy. For the first time in your life." (or something to that effect), the Herbalist & his Naturopathic Doctor father, My GP & medical records that show when I last popped any SSRI's or ADHD stimulants - whoever - all of these people and everything I've said are very real.

I wouldn't waste his time. As an Autistic filmmaker, I'd be interested in this if I were him. But I also acknowledge that he may very well think that I'm insane, and this is why I'd be willing to do whatever it takes to see the aforementioned experts in advance, And I'd sweeten the deal to make the trip otherwise worthwhile. This is Hollywood North & he's a filmmaker. My cousin (and others I know) works in film. If he wants to go check out some studios, I'll set it up. If he wants to meet the independent film maker I'm acquaintances with on FB, I'll queue that up. Hell, a friend of mine from the beach recently worked on the set of a show I didn't even know was filmed here because I don't watch TV (although I AM interested in this show) called "The Good Doctor," that's apparently about an Autistic Doctor. Want to go check it out? I'll find out who and where they are and go ask. I'm a pretty good salesman when I want to be, and it shouldn't be too difficult to play the disability card and ask nicely if a couple of high functioning autistics, one who makes films, could come for a meet & greet on set. Plus this place is stunningly beautiful and I have a 6spd 4banger transportation appliance that could very easily be utilized to tour around everywhere from the beaches to Chinatown or up to Whistler. So, if he'd be interested, best case scenario I prove my truth with science, facts, and go on camera to share it with you all. And worst case scenario he takes an extended vacation to the Vancouver area and stays in a suburban home for free while checking the place out. IMO, it'd be a no lose proposition for him. Who knows? Maybe we could get the Film Board of Canada to pay for it all, too. Or get someone else on board. David Suzuki of "The Nature of Things," that produced "The Autism Engima," episode I linked to lives locally in Vancouver somewhere. Invite him to the party.

Hmm, I should ask alex, actually. If he's interested, then tell me what you want in advance & I'll figure out how long it will take and how much it will cost and work on it. If it takes a year or two of preparation, so be it, the time is going to pass anyways. I'm not too concerned about f*****g myself up and losing a job - there are some real a**holes where I work lol so it's hard to get fired.. plus it's Union.. and my father is the local President.. but even IF I threw my symptoms for a loop and lost a job, whoopee, there are plenty more jobs & I can easily get another one or 10. That's not a concern whatsoever. I have no problem avoiding people/dates/close friends while I'm in strong AS mode after a course of antibiotics - I've learned to do this until my gut is back to being balanced with probiotics again. The only time I would not be willing to do any of these things to myself is if/when I'm in class. Once I'm back to school part/full time, my grades will be the single most important thing in my life and I won't jeopardize them by messing with my health, so, it'd likely have to be queued up for Summer sometime. All the best weather, things to do, and parties are then, anyways.

And if he's not into it whatsoever, well, *shrug*, don't say I didn't offer to prove any/all of this. It is important to me, though, so even if it takes a couple years and costs $10,000.00, I'll do it.

And? I just skimmed the link & posted it to point out the topics the some of those speakers were speaking about with regards to Autism Treatment and the fact that they are exactly what I have been trying to tell you guys about. I haven't clicked around and seen if the speeches are available and at what cost etc.

Lacking an easy way to contact them or check credentials raises "snake oil salesmen" red flags for me.

I’m sure each of them can be googled and contacted. The website appears to have been setup for the express purpose of live streaming their Autism Treatment Summit, not as a contact reference or credientials/background check page.

Nonetheless, it doesn’t change the fact that several of these people are Doctors and the topics they spoke of at an Autism Treatment Summit are the very same things I’ve been sharing here with WrongPlanet. That was my point. Nothing more, nothing less. You are free to google and contact them as you wish.
