DAN Dr Lynn Durand Condemns My Son To Remain Autistic

I'm in the midst of a bitter divorce from my wife Karen. Karen has fought me for the last nine years over the treatments I have used to help my son Sam improve tremendously from the nightmarish condition that used to be his existence. She has never bothered reading anything to learn the facts about how chelation cures autism.

I called Dr Lynn Durand of Concord, NH and asked him to confirm his prescription that he gave me to chelate my son. I needed Dr Durand's statement to let a court know that chelation was necessary for Sam to continue to improve from his autism and have a chance to have a normal life. I needed that statement because my wife, if she gains custody of Sam, refuses to continue the chelation. Dr Durand told me he would not get involved and refused to state that chelation is the proper treatment for autism. Without an MD to tell that to a court, my wife will be able to continue refusing to give the treatment and I will not be allowed to chelate Sam and finish the job I started six years ago to cure him.

In 2006, Dr Durand prescribed methyl B-12 for Sam in the hope that it would allow Sam to speak. After only three doses of the nasal Methyl B-12, my wife decided that it was having a bad affect on Sam (it wasn't) and she grabbed the bottle, ran out of the house with it and hid it at her sister's house to prevent me from giving it to Sam. I asked her to call Dr Durand and see what he said about her concerns but she refused. She wouldn't bother calling the doctor and I had no way to force my wife to allow me to give it to Sam so that he could speak. Sam still can't speak four years later and my wife still refuses to give him the medicine that might allow Sam to speak.

I also asked Dr Durand to provide me with a statement to tell the court how methyl B-12 allows a significant number of children to acquire speech. He refused. I called him a "bastard" and hung up.

People need to be aware that Dr Durand is a complete asshole who will not make simple, general statements that he agrees with by virtue of the fact that he prescribed these treatments to help severely autistic children when people really need his help. My son, Sam will now remain non-verbal and will never recover from autism because Dr Lynn Durand will not simply tell the truth.

As an ex-patient of Dr Lynn Durand, I advise anyone who is considering having him treat their autistic child to find someone else.

If anyone reading this knows an MD who will provide a statement to a court that simply states that chelation is the proper treatment for autism and that it is medically necessary for Sam, I would appreciate it.

Yes, John, your wife is an imbecile. Why she stayed with you as long as she did, and allowed you to turn your son into a laboratory test subject proves it.

John,

"Sam still can't speak four years later and my wife still refuses to give him the medicine that might allow Sam to speak."

I think you should invest in Speech Therapy. It might teach him to speak. Speech therapy, regardless of age (although childhood is best), can teach or improve someone with ASD to speak. Speech therapy certainly helped me to acquire pragmatic language skills, some social skills like turn-taking, and understanding figurative language. I also taught myself figurative language due to my hyperlexia and love of reading (not everything).

Here is the website of the DAN doctor who treats people with ASD in my state.

Your own doctor (on whose treatment you have relied for so many years) won't testify that his prescribed treatment is medically necessary.

I wonder how long it'll take you to find a doctor who is willing to testify as you wish.

John Best said...

I can obtain my son's medical records which will show the prescriptions. I can also subpoena the bastard.

Going throught the same scene with my grandaughter. My daughter's ex doesn't believe in the methyl-b12 shots, the vitamins, the chelation... nothing. He is a completely ignorant, uncooperative bastard. My daughter is seeking sole custody so that she can continue the treatments without interference. My worst nightmare right now is that this bastard will drag these issues through the courts resulting in sporadic and inconsistent treatments (at best.)

Should this occur I plan to hold out to the Courts a paper/bulletin called "Next Steps," issued by the State, which the State therapists, (speech, ABA, etc) hand out as a parent's guide to other viable treatments available to the children (i.e. biomedical and diet).

I will question the Judge as to whether he can go against the recommendations contained in this paper being circulated by employees of the State. The Judge is an employee of the State. Can he denounce treatments that are being recommended by the very State itself? "Your Honor please state your position on the State's position." Checkmate.

After that, I will speak with Julia's DAN doctor seeking his help. To not offer a child any, ANY, treatment available that has shown positive results based solely upon the ignorant opinion of one person would be a travesty of justice.

Keep you posted.

I also asked for sole custody. I expect the court will side with my idiotic wife since courts are extremely biased against all males.

KateGladstone said...

Three questions:

/1/ Exactly how much mercury did the vaccinations put into Sam's body?

/2/ Exactly how much mercury does one dose of chelation remove?

/3/ Exactly how many doses of chelation has Sam had so far?

John Best said...

Kate,
That's exactly none of your business.

Exactly how did you learn to ask such stupid questions?

Watching in Washington said...

Is there any way you could chelate Sam every other weekend on the weekends you have him? Unless your wife is planning an out of state move and you don't have a joint custody thing going.

John Best said...

I go to court in a few hours, will see what happens then.

KateGladstone said...

Surely the world is waiting to know every detail of your courtroom drama...

And quantitative questions about medical conditions and treatments aren't stupid. (If you actually consider such questions stupid, please explain in detail exactly what makes them stupid.)

I hope she at least has enough common sense not to vaccinate him ever again. Hopefully she isn't brainwashed by some quack into thinking that she should "catch him up" on his vaccines. That would be awful.

John Best said...

Kate,
You're deliberately asking disingenuous questions. It merely shows the type of scumbag you are.

KateGladstone said...

I'm the kind whose questions deserve answers they don't get from you.

John Best said...

If you ask honest, genuine questions, I might decide to answer them.

KateGladstone said...

My questions are honest and genuine. Your answers are neither.

John Best said...

No, your questions are leading. You know that it is impossible to tell exactly how much mercury is removed during chelation. You also know that it is not only mercury from vaccines that goes into the body. Mercury comes from other sources.
So, your trying to quantify something that you know can not be determined is dishonest.
The correct question would be one that correlates behavior versus rounds of chelation. You see, improved behavior is then only way to tell if chelation is having any effect.

John Best said...

People who wouldn't want their names known by dishonest bitches like you.

Re:

"No, your questions are leading. You know that it is impossible to tell exactly how much mercury is removed during chelation."

No, I didn't know that. Why is it impossible to detect how much mercury is removed?

"You also know that it is not only mercury from vaccines that goes into the body. Mercury comes from other sources."

So, how much mercury comes into the body from other sources, and how much mercury comes into the body from vaccines?

Re:

"So, your trying to quantify something that you know can not be determined is dishonest."

I wonder if it would appear dishonest to a judge hearing a witness's testimony on such matters.

Re:
"The correct question would be one that correlates behavior versus rounds of chelation. You see, improved behavior is then only way to tell if chelation is having any effect."

What would demonstrate that the improved behavior could never result from any other cause, such as maturation?

KateGladstone said...

You state that people whom your advice has cured wouldn't want their names known to me or to other "dishonest bitches."

Yet you don't at all mind letting the name of your son (whom you say you are curing) be known to such "dishonest bitches."

Why are you so much less willing to protect your son's name and confidentiality (from "dishonest bitches") than other people are willing to protect their own names and confidentiality from said "dishonest bitches"?

John Best said...

This is not about what some corrupt judge thinks. It's only about curing poisoned kids.

If you want to count how much mercury comes out, you would have to collect every bit of urine and feces throughout each round of chelation. It's impossible to collect even one urine sample from a child who is not toilet trained and won't cooperate. And, it would beb a huge waste of effort if you could do it since nobody knows exactly how much mercury s in the kid in the first place.

If a child, like mine, never improves at all for 7 years despite all sorts of behavioral therapy and schools, you can be certain the chelation caused the improvement. You also have the standard for autism which showed us for years that there was no cure. Kids who are on the lower end of the spectrum stay that way.

Your friends have smeared my name all over the internet. It's not about my son, it's the abuse you assholes give us parents for telling the truth about how we cure our kids.
