Hi Jayred,
I posted the MindFood article here in full: http://forums.phoenixrising.me/index.php?threads/australia-mindfood-misdiagnosing-me.18593/
I took the time to read all of Jacqueline's and those others' statement yesterday, and Deckoff-Jones's statement this morning on her blog: http://www.x-rx.net/blog/2012/08/reply-to-jacqueline-mcgorrian-mcmurdie-and-lisa-petrison.html and I'm sorry but I still have some major concerns about the whole debacle and about Deckoff-Jones herself (but that's nothing new so consider me biased if you like).
I will refrain from going into specifics because they will only be considered 'false', being as they will be from Andrew's mother's statement - though I don't think they can be ignored - not the key points relating to e.g. providing a minor with a prescribed medication meant for an adult and that adult being herself a doctor who should know better.
If you are going to fly across to the USA to take your child to see this doctor, then might I suggest you ensure that you are in possession of a clear treatment plan in advance? So that you know every step of the way exactly what and where any treatment will take place? You might even like to run the plan past a local doctor in your country - get a second opinion.
I have never considered anything that this doctor offers to be in any way 'unique' as a form of treatment. You might find that once you know what is being offered e.g. oxygen, Deplin, neurofeedback and vitamin supplements, you can source them yourself with a qualified professional locally - or at least in your home country and mitigate some of this expense.
I really do wish your daughter the best of luck but I would not place any faith in this doctor myself and yes I have been a regular reader of her blog which only continues to underline my concerns.
Still, we do have this inherent and desperate need to try and find someone or something that can help us when all that has come before seems not to; and so long as this tantalising bait called 'hope' is dangled in front of us and we remain sick I doubt things will ever change.
Good luck.
