Yasko autism protocol support group in St. Louis
Posted By Phyllis on May 20, 2010
Today I attended a support group meeting in St. Louis for parents of autistics who are using the Yasko protocol on their kids. The group is run by an occupational therapist with an interest in advising families.
The Yasko support group draws several women from western parts of Illinois, as well as others from the St. Louis area. Most of those who came take their kids to see an DAN! doctor and allergist in the Kansas City area, but they also are using supplements and advice from the Yasko protocol. Those who had been using the Yasko/DAN! protocol for a while were reporting positive results.
We had an interesting discussion, that’s for sure! I hope there are other groups like this around the country that help parents navigate the protocol.
Hi, Phyllis, I hope the support group was helpful–I always feel like we have too much to learn/discuss and too little time! I highly recommend the newer book by Yasko with the accompanying video. It is so much less cryptic than the first one–you don’t need a biochem degree to understand it! Like the lady next to you and I said, the more you learn about your kid’s condition, the easier it is to recognize some of the stuff going on with yourself and (without too much financial investment) do things to help yourself. I also want to give you Dr. Baptist’s information, as he is an MD (allergist) and a PhD (biochemistry). He is VERY thorough with testing, and because he is an allergist, is covered by insurance…so you can use the test results from him while you’re implementing some of the Yasko to monitor your numbers as you treat your son http://www.allergy-link.com/ Take care, and hope to see you soon!
