Clearly there is a great NEED for Integrative Pediatricians!  This is an interesting read about a family’s journey to treat their child’s autism via CAM therapies.   Included is harsh criticism by Dr. Fitzpatrick who refers to CAM as medicine of the “dark ages’.

I think, if it helps its worthy of consideration, however, it would be prudent to find out the therapies are safe in children first,  and secondarily if they’re effective and discuss it with someone who knows the risks vs benefits of doing the treatment and if there is evidence supporting it.
