I think Kartzinel probably didn’t fit in with Bradstreet. When I met him he seemed rather down – perhaps his son was not doing so well at the time – and he admitted that the kids who progressed well were like lottery winners – few and far between and seemingly without rhyme or reason as to why (likely to be same as the small percentage of kids who do well with no treatment).

That was around the time when I realised that DAN! MD’s were well meaning for the most part, but of no use in their stated primary goal – cure. They could help with cormorbidities, and in my experience, were much better than other MD’s who tended to dismiss these as just something that was par for the course – in our case food allergies, loose stools, lack of sleep etc. At least they were able to spend some time and listen and then give the care of e.g. a well-trained, thoughtful paediatric gastroentronologist might give. Actually, they were more like like an old fashioned doctor from my childhoood who actaully listened to you, rather than tried to hustle you out the door.

So perhaps Kartzinel decided to go and just give up the cure thing and just be a paedatrician whose client base was primarily kids on the autistic spectrum … less to do with cure and more to treating tham as children who had real and individual medical comorbidities.

My point about Kartzinel is that his face was removed from the home page of icdrc.org website and there didn’t seem to be anything like a goodbye or an indication that he’d ever been there.

Well if I am ever possesed I guess that is with Hywl

Kartzinel lost his house in Hurricane Jeanne in September 2005. Hurricane Francis did significant damage and Jeanne finished it off. I don’t know whether there is any connection between this and him moving to Thoughtful House, which isn’t near the Florida coast.

It used to have Kartzinel’s face on the main page, too, but Kartzinel disappeared and there’s no explanation… like he jumped ship and went to “Thoughtful House” with the other ICDRC rat, Wakefield.

He claims to be a Fellow of the American Academy of Family Practitioners… but he’s not even a member of the AAFP. How convenient is that? He claims all kinds of stuff that aren’t true. He claimed to be a “clinical advisor” or something like that to the MIND Institute, but he’s not and never was. I know that one of the MIND docs told him to cut it out, but I didn’t check to see if Jeffy ever took it off his website. That MIND doc said, “Jeff Bradstreet is not one of my favorite people…” Well, they invited him to speak to them about his “research” (under pressure from the local mercury parents, no doubt) shortly after the MIND opened.

I don’t think Jo Pike is with the NAA now, but she was when she gave Jeffy that endorsement. Jeffy is one of their famous advisors. http://www.nationalautismassoc.....fullcv.php
It says he has “hospital privileges” at Celebration Florida or something

But he doesn’t have any hospital privileges.

It looks like he doesn’t carry malpractice insurance.

There’s a page that says:

“This practitioner does not currently hold faculty appointments at any medical/health related institutions of higher learning.”

His claim to be an adjunct professor of neurosciences as Stetson U is bogus. They don’t teach medicine at Stetson U.

Thanks to LW for telling me that Bradstreet didn’t have hospital privileges and sending me to that Florida state website.

Jeff Bradstreet got all born again after his first marriage ended in a divorce.

Exorcism = chelation I suppose——-both involving the “expulsion” of unwanted/poisonous/”demonic” elements.

When the hell will the world realize the abuse taking place & stand up for these autistic kids??? Quit saying how hard it is for the poor parents, what a raw deal they got, & how they can understand why they take such extreme measures to cure their children. I’m sick & tired of having autism portrayed as poor evil.

Even more sick thinking of all the money these quacks have made—they all have blood on their hands.

Bernie Rimland’s ARI filed a form 909 that showed that ARI gave Bradstreet’s org 50,000. 100,000 went to Harvard, that would be Martha Herbert, no doubt. 2,000 went to Doctor’s Data. Some went to James Adams at Arizona State and some went to Boyd Haley at U of Kentucky. $23,000 went to “Teresa C Binstock PhD” who doesn’t have a PhD, or even a Masters degree. The Wake-Forest money must have gone to Krigsman for taking chunks of autistic intestines without IRB approval, IIRC. Bernie Rimland took home a cool $80,000 for his hard work on behalf of autism quacks.
