Those unusual neural connections are fascinating. I’m jealous…my brain doesn’t do anything interesting like that at all.

It’s wonderful to have synesthesia.
I get drunk and happy off of music and I think I have good pitch.
I’ll have to train in music more though… all those nice musical shades.

Though associating people and abstract concepts with a scent is really weird, especially when it doesn’t exist.

Synesthesia, I don’t know if living with that is good or bad or both, but it sure does sound interesting.

Do mine eyes deceive me, or did the lovely, vivacious, congenial Steve just DAMN HIS OWN EYES???? That’s so…Elizabethan of him.

Wait, maybe he meant “HIS OWN DAN EYES. That would make more sense…which given the overall clarity of his comments wouldn’t be that hard to do. It’s so easy to tell people to play on the highway or call them quack or idiot, isn’t it? Yawn. Where is Mark Twain when you need him? Alas, I think the rumors of his death are no longer exaggerated.

Regan,

I personally wouldn’t mind being insulted by someone like Mark Twain, with wit, intelligence, charm, and a twinkling eye! ;0)

Steve, I’m not sure if I can listen to your point of view.
Your delivery is too rude and disrespecting of autistic people.
I’d rather listen to folks like Dr. Chew who talk with compassion and warmth about autistic people instead of being vitriolic.

Which OT, is a rather good tasting word.

We all know about the dangerous chelation methods that have been tried. Believe it or not, some folks have tried to light a barbecue with gasoline too.

It doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with barbecuing, it just means that’s what happens when you pair an idiot with the means to do damage.

I read recently that excessive barbecuing can contribute to cancer.

Clearly, Steve, you’re very passionate about the DAN! protocol, but could you perhaps defend it without all the venom? Tossing around insults makes it pretty hard to take you seriously or to want to hear what you have to say.

I admire the intestinal fortitude of the replies, but it’s hard not to believe that the main point of certain comments is just to heap abuse on folks.

If I want to read insults, I’ll go to Oscar Wilde or Groucho Marx.

I am absolutely stunned over the harsh remarks towards Kristina. Regardless of how you feel about the topic this is her blog..therefor she can believe whatever she want.

For the record, Dr. Payne…I find your comment that equals autism to brain damage extremely offensive.

For both you and Steve… where is all this substantial evidence to prove your point of views? You can say *I* know someone all you want, but why can you not produce verifiable evidence? And please, spare us a ‘Jenny’ reference.

Honestly this whole racket stinks of the same type of ‘cures’ Dr. Kellogg and Dr. Kinsey once produced. They had many followers as well.

Steve said “I have witnessed, WITH MY OWN DAMN EYES, a child recover from autism. I have witnessed children start talking, from nothing, to full sentences, within two months of starting some biomed regimens. ”

So have I!!! It was for a three turning four year old dysphasic child, and after about two months of good speech and language therapy.

Your anecdotes mean absolutely nothing.

Storkdok,
Thanks for the recommendation on the book; I’m looking for some new reading.
Small world. I have fond memories of Loma Linda, and visits to the campus.
Interesting comments on the DMSO. When I was first in So. Cal, almost every health food store, and in one notable case, a bait and ammo store displayed the proud letters “DMSO”. I thought it was some kind of special So. Cal code. I knew better by the time of the Ramirez incident, but very freaky and disasterous for everyone immediately involved.
