My understanding is that Dr. K. is working on publishing the results of his treatment practice over the last several years. His web site already has a number of case studies and some percentages/statistics with respect to his own patient base. That being said, I think all of this is still evolving . . .

Does anyone have statistics on treatment success rates? Our doctor said that in his practice there is 40% success with antibiotics alone and 80% if combined with steroid burst. He gave 50 to 70% with IVIG. What I still need to clarify with him is does he mean that 40% get 100% better or that there is on average 40% reduction in symptoms with all the children. I am also wondering about natural remedy success rates Dr. Mullan said they work better than conventional, but it was a brief conversation and I didn't get statistics.

And what about adverse effect rates? I am reading a lot of posts about children getting worse with the steroid bursts.

 

Thanks,

jmho.....i believe natural remedies can work....

but i also think you need to know which one, which works for your kid, which one works for which illness/condtion, did you start the protocal soon enough

as i'm sure it would take longer

like if your initial thing was strep, but now it's lymes,,,,,and the condtion manitfested in rages, or a comgination of compultions and rashes......

there are just so many variables...

i think knowing your own history, writing it down so our kids can know...

for instance most of my family tylenol gives us an upset stomach and sleeplessnes

 

i also think eating as cleen as possible, and adding the natural antiffammitoreis where ever possible is key, and can't hurt....
