Recovering From Autism: A Local Florida Doctor Says It's Possible
By Patricia Crosby First Coast News January 22, 2007
JACKSONVILLE, FL -- When Dr. Julie Buckley talks about autism and recovery,
it's more than just her life's work, it's personal. Dr. Buckley's 8 1/2 year
old daughter Dani was diagnosed as profoundly
autistic at the age of 4. "I think the thing that will always haunt me,
was the waking up in the morning, the crying and the moaning. As a mom, all I
wanted to do was it make it better," says Dr. Buckley.
And, as a pediatrician Dr. Buckley found a way to make Dani
better. Through research and contacts she learned about DAN which stands for
Defeat Autism Now. She delved back into her medical books and is now one of
four leading DAN doctors in
After a few years of using the DAN approach Dani is now considered gifted in her third grade class.
"Her recovery was pretty dramatic, but for each child recovery happens at
a different pace," says Dr. Buckley. "All of my patients are either
in recovery or are recovering, and all are feeling better," she says. (DAN
protocol is chelation plus nutritional & enzyme
balancing)

Julie Buckley: Thimerosal was never in vaccines originally. We can go back to
doing it that way. Yes, it's more expensive, but the cost of doing it that way
is so infinitesimal compared to the cost of managing the consequences of unnecessary
exposure that it becomes ridiculous really to contemplate doing it any other
way.
And then there's aluminum. It is my understanding that we are capable of making
vaccines that use calcium as an adjuvant. We can make vaccines differently.
It's not difficult to do. It will be expensive, but it will be much less
expensive than managing a generation of very, very, very sick children when
they grow up.

"Chelation treatments, used to remove
metals from the body, have reduced noah's lead levels
and have made a huge impact.
"It was really powerful and amazing for us to watch. It was literally
watching a miracle right in front of our eyes," said noah's father, Rob Breakiron.
"We have a child here who is virtually indistinguishable from his peers
and that's certainly not what he was a year or two years ago," added
Pediatrician David Berger, MD." http://www.ageofautism.com /

The project
Defeat Autism Now! is a project of the Autism Research
Institute. There are several biomedical treatments used in this protocol. At
the core of the project is stabilizing and healing the gut and ridding the body
of toxins. A summary of the major biomedical treatments includes: an improved
diet, checking for food allergies, starting a gluten-free/casein-free diet,
adding vitamin/mineral supplements, essential digestive enzymes, fatty acids, antifungals, probiotics
supplements, amino acids, melatonin, thyroid supplementation, sulfation and glutathione therapy (a helpful peptide that
aids the body in removing toxins). Chelation (removal
of heavy metals) and immune system regulation are two of the final steps.
