Hi,

I'm the dad of an 8 year old girl diagnosed with Autism. She is currently being treated by Dr. Mary Megson in Richmond, VA. She is on a Gluten-Free diet and is being chelated.

My wife and I are separated, and the treatment for our daughter has become a major sticking point. While I initially found Dr. Megson, I have found the results to be far less than what we were expecting, and after 5 years, it is difficult to tell what effect the medicine is having over her normal development. As we learn more about Autism, I wonder why we're treating her based on theories that are long since discarded. (Mercury, etc...)

In addition since the separation, my Ex, with Dr. Megson's help increased the number of medications greatly. My daughter took 38 medications a day at one point, many of which were homeopathic in nature. My feelings on homeopathy is that it's total and complete BS.

In particular, I am looking for any information anyone can share regarding Dr. Megson, her theories on Calcium Channelopathy, problems and issues with Hypervitaminosis A, and any information regarding Michael Payne of "Living Well Today" based in Richmond. I want both the good and bad.

Since I am a smoker, Dr. Megson has used her personal theory of Calcium Channelopathy to reason that I do not deserve custody. I have not seen anything peer reviewed on Calcium Channelopathy, and would like more information. In addition, my daughter is taking dangerous levels of Vitamin A, and any evidence that I can use to show the court the dangers of this is most appreciated.

Nice to meet y'all.

I know of many parents from Southern States who have moved to my community in Upstate New York because of the outstanding facility for children and adults with Autism and Autism Spectrum Disorders. The facility is called the "Kelberman
Center for Autism and the educational programs and other services are truly a blessing to parents like yourself.

The Kelberman Center for Autism is located between Syracuse and Albany, New York in the foothills of the Adirondacks. They
provide a preschool program, a school for older kids unable to attend a regular school, residential housing for children and
adults, an awesome summer camp program for kids ages 5-15 years, parent support groups and... oh, so much more as it is
difficult to list it all here. If you would like to know more about this outstanding and unique facility, check out their website...just Google...KELBERMAN CENTER FOR AUTISM. The professionals at the Kelberman Center may be able to provide the specific type
of information you require for your court proceeding...there are contact numbers listed on their website.

The professional treating your young daughter sounds like an overzealous "quack"...and such people can do more harm than good. I find Dr. Tony Attwood, Ph.D one of the best experts on Autism and the ASD and you might find his website helpful, too
with all the information it gives. The website address for Dr. Tony Attwood, Ph.D is...WWW.TONYATTWOOD.COM.AU

Best of luck to you!

Welcome.

"Hello," LostInDaJungle, and welcome aboard the Wrong Planet.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.

In addition to the specialists listed in the other posts you might want to consult
with a specialist in nutrition about vitamin A toxicity and other health issues brought
on by diet. Chelation was discredited a long time ago as was the vaccines as a cause of autism hypothesis.
