[quote=Anonymous]In my experience (from a close friend who used this approach), biomedical was more than just some vitamins.  it was a MAJOR regimen of supplements, etc.. and also chelation.

The important thing is that supplements is that -- insofar as they do affect your body, which you are counting on -- they are acting on your child's health and you should disclose them to the pediatrician.  You can expect most pediatricians to be skeptical because, as mentioned above, there's no medical evidence that they work and no real studies about their long-term effects on your child.

BTW my friend's child is now a young adult, and the restrictive diet, tens of thousands of dollars' worth of supplements and doctors, etc. etc. did nothing to change his diagnosis.   In her case, she did the DAN approach instead of more conventional educational supports like tutors, etc.  Her DC is a wonderful person (in no small part because she is), but it makes me sad to see all the opportunities he missed during his crucial development because they were chasing some elusive "cure" that didn't exist.[/quote]
