Reply #74: I am SO with you on this! [View All]

I have a son who is autistic-as soon as I found out his diagnosis and did some reading, I put him on a special diet, give him dietary supplements both of which have improved behaviors such as poor eye contact, hyperactivity and sleeping issues. Some docs dismiss this approach without investigating alternative methods further and instead turn to medications like Ritalin for these kids. While other docs have seen the results of the alternative approach first hand and recommend it to their patients.

It's SO obvious that medical and pharmaceutical industries have by and large morphed into MAJOR profit making ventures so that it's not about what's best for the patient anymore, but what's best for the bottom line. It's disgusting! People should know this and not blindly go along with what the doc prescribes. The doc isn't always right! They don't know everything! Or enough! If the truth be told! :puke:

p.s. I'm not a Scientologist either. But I do like Tom Cruise! ;)
