Love my DAN! Dr. Posted By: minnakay
Posted On: 07/04/2008
We met with Will's DAN Dr. yesterday. Dr. Sloan with The Genesis Center. He is great. He was so excited about getting started, I was so excited. He understood that we don't have a lot of money and we chose the biggest bang for our buck kind of things. He was very knowledgeable, supportive, and I finally regained HOPE! Something I had lost over the last few weeks. So today getting Will off Gluten (already off casein) and getting rid of some yeast food items and starting on the supplements. I am overwhelmed but anxious! So far, not very good at getting those supplements into his little mouth!

Yea! It is so important to have a supportive and knowledgeable doctor on your side. It can be very overwhelming when you think of all that needs to be done, but just remember to take one step at a time. Hopefully, too, your doctor knows how to code your bill so that insurance will pick up most labs and office charges. That will be a big plus. Also, for many supplements, you can find good prices online at vitacost.com or vitaminshoppe.com. Also, other specialty vitamin companies, like Kirkmans (and maybe Houstons) have plans for those with financial limitations, so check into that as well.

I am excited for you too! Yes, getting those supplements in is hard- and then when you think you have it figured out our little guys switch it up on us! And then the DAN doc adds more supps. It is worth it though- We have seen huge changes in our son through our doc and through testing have really started to get to the root of his medical issues. I wish you all the best!

So happy for you and I understand the overwhelmed feelings. Just take it one treatment at a time, one meal plan at a time, one vitamin supplement at a time. I'm not a detailed person at all and never thought I could do it all. And, never thought I could give anyone a shot like B-12. If you take it one step at a time, you'll be amazed how you'll look back and say; "Hey, I'm doing it!!!"
