Parent Discussion Group

Dear Discussion Group Members,

We have been long overdue for a new welcome page letter and I am finally sitting down to write it. Part of the delay in writing this is related to the current need for an updated letter…the expansion and growth on this site. The increase in our group is nothing short of amazing; we have quadrupled our membership in about one year. This means that I am so much busier commenting on tests and answering more involved email posts back to you, that I was remiss in taking the time to write a new welcome letter. It also means that as we grow it is important to welcome each and every new person who is drawn to this site by word of mouth, by stories of success, by the recent article in “Discover” and the soon to be published interview in “Spirituality and Health”. It is also important that any new members to our discussion group understand the rules of the site and what we have to offer, as it is somewhat different than other groups of this type. In order for this site to continue to function in the same manner as we continue to grow it is essential that all of you, both new members and veterans, really take the rules of this site to heart and abide by them. That is part of what leads to the positive results we are seeing for both adults and children and what makes us unique in our approach.

This is likely to be a different experience than you have ever had on any other discussion group. I expect that you will be surprised by the personal support and interactions, from me as well as from other member of this site. You will probably be overwhelmed with the volume of information this site contains and a bit daunted by it at first. And, I think you will be touched by the level of caring, love and hope that you will learn to expect from all of us.

We are about sharing information as well as emotional support. I have a zero tolerance policy on negativity. The idea is to keep it positive, share from the heart and the mind, and pay it forward. Unlike many of the other doctors working in these fields I do not have personal health issues that motivate me to work in this area. I am blessed to have three beautiful, bright and healthy teenagers and for both my husband and myself to be in excellent health. I do this because I have the background in molecular biology, biochemistry, immunology, bacteriology, biotech, natural health and I have the desire to share and give back because I have been so fortunate in my life. I do answer email posts personally every week. These posts are chosen by our moderator. Other posts are answered by parents who have taken the time to really learn and understand the program. They are paying it forward by giving of their time, as I do, to help you. What I ask of all of our members is to put in the time to really understand the program. This will not happen overnight, it is a slow process as you immerse yourself in all of the science. Know that you will be supported, helped and guided by other veteran members of this site to make the learning process smoother and easier. This is a program that requires that you take charge of your own, or your child’s health. We will share the tools and the support you need to get there, but you are going to have to put in the time and the work to get your arms around this program. You will need to read the books, watch the DVDs, come to conferences and search and read older posts. No one is going to be able to do that for you. Basically you need to do your homework, but we will be right there to support you along the way. When we say “read it, learn it, live it” we really mean it on this site, and assume that you will abide by that principle.

I expect only what I am willing to give, so I try to lead by example. I am willing to work daily to make personal comments on biochemical tests, to answer emails, to read and research to continue to add to the knowledge base until we have the answers we need for the recovery of every child and adult. I do not only answer technical questions, but I respond to almost every positive email that is posted, because I feel that emotional support is just as important as scientific knowledge on the journey to recovery. I keep it positive and pay it forward every day and I expect no less from each of you. I want to wish a warm welcome to all of you who visit this discussion group, whether it is just a one time curiosity or a daily event.

With love and hope,
Dr. Amy
