TO PEDIATRICIANS AND DAN! DOCTORS

Thank you for your love for our children.  You have seen a lot of kids out there with developmental delays and you spend your lives trying to help them.

I ask a few things of you.

1.  Please make it a priority to test all your patients for lingering primitive reflexes, when their parents express concern about developmental delays, autism or the like.  Getting rid of them completely is key to the foundation of further brain development.  Teach the parents how to help their children do the exercises to get rid of the primitive reflexes.  Then keep checking back with them to make sure they are doing them correctly and to document their success, so it can be confirmed when the reflexes are truly gone.

2.  Please also have a Glutathione Level test done on babies well before immunizing them, to confirm whether or not they need supplementation.  Then continue to watch it, if there was a need for it.  This should definitely be done before recommending the flu shot or anything else that may have thimerosal in it.

3.  Please do not recommend acetaminophen when giving immunizations.  It lowers the glutathione level, which can cause problems when given the shots.

4.  Please refer the patient to join a Brain Balance Achievement Center program, a professional trained in Hemispheric Integration Therapy/Functional Neurology, and/or recommend the book by Dr. Robert Melillo, Disconnected Kids.

To find a professional trained in HIT or FN, please go to:

INTERACTIVE METRONOME:

The Interactive Metronome is one of the tools used Integration Hemispheric Therapy that helps to balance the brain in perfect timing and rhythm.  Whatever facility your patient is using for therapy to help with brain development, including assisting with sensory issues, please make sure they use an Interactive Metronome.

NOTE:  IF YOUR PATIENT IS MAGNESIUM DEFICIENT AND HAS LYME, NOTE THAT ORAL MAGNESIUM FEEDS THE LYME SPIROCHETES.  It actually needs to be given transdermal or via injection.
