One of my recent families consists of twin boys who are quite affected in their autism. They seem to be in ill health constantly. There is a never-ending stream of doctors’ appointments, therapies, schools and IEPs, medications, supplements, and special meals. Plus,...

I was speaking to a young, bright, well-trained pediatrician the other night about my experiences helping families of autistic children. Granted, I was representing my belief that there could be iatrogenic causes to some of the diseases we are now seeing. When faced...

My beautiful and patient wife reminded me this morning that, although I have spent a great deal of time blogging about this or that, I haven’t really gotten to the meat of the matter. She works with the public, and when clients become aware of what her husband...
