We are researching ways to put the pediatric seminars online for distance learning. All of our seminars from this year have been recorded.

Very admiral.  To get continuing-ed credits however, you'd need State Assoc, licensing boards, or schools to support you.  And since most of them make money doing that already, it's an uphill battle, since you are the competition.

We struggled with that on our website (www.chiro.org) and finally threw in the towel.  If you have a close buddy on a State Board, mayber you'll fare better than we did.

Hi all-
I recently received a call from some parents of a brother and sister who
recently
developed uveitis.  I have not seen them in clinic yet, but was hoping to
prepare for our
upcoming visit by inquiring to see if anyone has experience with uveitis in
general and
some thoughts on both children developing it around the same time.  The girl,
who is 9, is
RF neg, HLA B27 neg, toxo neg, lyme neg, B Henselae neg, ANA + 1:80 homogenous
but
ds DNA negative, anticardiolipin/antiphospho ab neg with normal CBC, CMP and esr
of 6
most recently.  The boy has refused all blood work.  They have a rheumatologist
and
ophthamologist following them.  From what I understand there are no systemic
signs or
symptoms.

I don't think anyone has checked for syphillis or TB, but those are really
unlikely.  My other
thought was West Nile or some yet to be defined autoimmune condition that hasn't
revealed itself.  What other work-up would you consider?  And then treatment
ideas?

I was thinking that the boy might need some hypnosis or guided imagery even to
be
convinced to get bloodwork done.  Then perhaps food allergy testing (IgE)
elimination diet
followed by an anti-inflammatory diet, omega 3s, perhaps probiotics.  Anyone
know a
good homeopath in Orange county?

I appreciate any and all input and will keep you posted as I learn more. 
Thanks.

Sincerely,

Kelly K. McCann, MD, MPH&TM

Your son's rash sounds like the rash that was on my son's head a few
months ago, nothing topical that I tried worked for him but it
cleared up in about 10 days once I started giving him saccharomyces
boulardii and biotin.  I chose those on the guess that it was a
systemic yeast/fungal infection which I figure now was correct.  I
used Klaire labs for the S. boulardii and gave him 1/2 capsule a day,
and 500 mcg of biotin a day and I discontinued both after about 2
months.  The rash looked like it was coming back once so I gave those
2 things again for about 5 days and it hasn't been back in months.

Hi Everyone.

16 mo old girl weighs 18lbs 7oz and is 28 inches
Her pediatrician is concerned with her height and weight and her
mother is looking for some direction in regards to this.  Any
suggestions on supplementation, herbs, or things to be concerned
with?  I have read on some posts here about an herbal supplement
called grow and thrive.  Would that be indicated in this case?
Thank you!
Carri Tanaka, DC

A little history:
She is currently taking a infant multi-vitamin, omega three's,
and pro-biotics.  Drinks rice milk and eats pastas, veggies, meat and
fruits.  Chiropractic adjustments 1/week for about 5 weeks now.
She was born vaginally with no known complications.  Mother did have
an epidural.  Was not breastfed for more than three weeks b/c mother
states she never latched on correctly.  Was formula fed thereafter
and had digestive difficulties.
At thirteen months of age she was hospitalized for bronchiolitis.
According to her mother the child has not been on antibiotics, but
the pediatrician has told her that her child will most likely become
asthmatic.  Mother also states she frequently has a cough and/or cold.
Was having difficulty with sleep however no longer an issue since
treatment at our office began.

This child very likely needs chiropractic care.  C-section births are
about as traumatic as they come and with that low of an apgar along
with the digestive problems and now developmental delay, I would
highly recommend a chiropractor with peds training in your area to
the family.

I know a 4 year old boy who has just recently been diagnosed with mild
autism. His parents would like to know more about the role that
homeopathy can play in helping with his symptoms.

Overall, the boy is quiet, and prefers to be left alone. He can
calculate in his head and LOVES his calculator but doesn't engage in
conversation with others very well.

I am more apt to recommend that the parent use orthomolecular
principles as this has been successful for me in treating autistic
children. But, in keeping with the parents wishes, I would like to know
if you have had any successes using single and/or combinations of
homeopathic remedies for the autism spectrum.

Thanks for your help.

I was just at the Defeat Autism Now conference in Chicago (in May)
and they had a group of ladies (homeopathics) who deal mostly with
Autism.  They are not classical homeopaths.  They use multiple
remedies at once.  They are also not cheap.  But they can tailor
their program so that almost any parent can afford it.  They are in
Houston, TX but do phone consults all over the country.  You can get
their info at:
www.homeopathyhouston .com  .  I have no affiliation with them and no
financial ties.  I also have no experience with them but most parents
I have seen in my clinic have heard of them or tried them at some
point.

I can tell you that I have never seen homeopathy cure Autism in and
of itself.  It must be used as an adjunct therapy.  Tell the parents
that their best bet is to find a Defeat Autism Now doctor or
practitioner to get him on the road to recovery.  If he is only 4,
and has a mild case...his prognosis is very good.  But time is of the
essence, testing needs to be done to determine what the major factors
are (allergies, leaky gut, leaky brain, dysbiosis, heavy metals
etc)...and therapy needs to be started as soon as possible.

Good luck,

Amy Lansky, PhD., has written a book entitled, "Impossible Cure: The
Promise of Homeopathy" detailing her son's recovery from autism using
homeopathy.  Her website is http://www.renresearch.com/.

Homeopath and filmmaker Carol Boyce MCH, CCH, RSHom (NA) is currently
making a film showing autism cures through homeopathy in conjunction
with the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital.  The rough cut of this
documentary can be seen at www.savingalostgeneration.com.

Amy Rothenberg and her husband Paul Herscu are both classical
homeopaths who have treated autism cases successfully.  They practice
in Enfield, Connecticut, and their website is www.nesh.com.

And I have met many other professional homeopaths who successfully
treat autism with classical homeopathy.  Whether it was used in
conjunction with other therapies, I don't know, but in my own practice
I would certainly incorporate nutritional support along with any other
modalities I would think would be useful on an individual basis.

Hello -

I am going to be seeing an 11 year old girl with SVT for anxiety.

Anxiety is a symptom and a side effect of the medication ( Antenol).
She was diagnosed one and a half years ago.  Her current symptoms are
anxiety and difficulty sleeping (another side effect of the
medication).  Her father has heart issues due to cholesterol, but her
mother was not clear.

I discussed breathing and meditation techniques for the anxiety and
helping to sleep. And acupuncture and possible herbs for her heart.

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi there. I was wondering if there are people recommending glutathione
to their patients - what form people are using. My understanding is
that you have to give a precursor rather than glutathione itself- and
that certain options include Whey & NAC. Is this true? I also remember
from the Functional Medicine Peds class something called Ready-Serve
Glutathione and wondering if anyone knows of this. I was wanting to
work more with it for my patients with detoxifying issues- but was a
bit confused on what the best form was to give. Any help on how on
what form and also what brands people like would be great. Thank you.
