SF Comprehensive Intervention Program
Client/Parental Enrollment
The SF Comprehensive Intervention
Program is a program in which complete dietary intervention and complete
environmental intervention are implemented simultaneously. This is
essential in order to so completely eliminate exposure to volatile
organic compounds and moderately volatile organic compounds in foods,
plastics, resins, indoor air, and molds that an abrupt, dramatic drop
in symptoms will occur. The SF Comprehensive Intervention Program
is not a program of partial change or of compromise, because with
partial changes and compromises there is a high risk for developing
new sensitivities to foods, for experiencing overall increasing symptoms
in the long term, and because partial change and compromise does not
end in recovery.
The SF Comprehensive Intervention
Program is also a research program, and provides another reason that
the recommendations of the program must be implemented fully. This
is an open, non-blind study that documents the reduction in symptoms
of the individuals entering the program. Consulting services are required,
but are provided free throughout the program in exchange for participants
allowing the data obtained to be used in the research program.
It is very difficult to
obtain items for the environmental portion of the program that are
pure enough. Because difficulties and problems encountered by others
have delayed the children's progress, you will be required to purchase
your materials from Special Foods, unless otherwise directed.
The signature to the form
below indicates your understanding, acceptance of, and agreement to
the following:
-
I (we) understand
that the SF Comprehensive Intervention Program employs simultaneous
complete dietary intervention and complete environmental intervention
as a sole means of achieving impressive symptoms reductions in
autistic children. I (we) understand that in addition to many
food allergies and sensitivities, my child suffers (I suffer)
from severe, extensive sensitivities to volatile and moderately
volatile organic compounds in food, indoor air, plastics, resins
and molds. I (we) understand that this is the underlying cause
of my child's (my) problems, and that removing these substances
will remove the associated symptoms.
-
I (we) understand
that supplements are not a part of the SF Comprehensive Intervention
Program, and agree not to use them during the program.
-
I (we) understand
that professionals not part of and not familiar with the SF Comprehensive
Intervention Program may suggest options that are not a part of
this program; these include recommending low carbohydrate quantities,
chelation, supplements and so forth. I (we) understand that I
(we) will not be incorporating techniques such as these.
-
I (we) agree should
a problem occur I (we) will contact the staff for guidance concerning
how to solve the problem. There are many reasons for this and
these have been explained to me.
-
I (we) understand
that partial environmental changes will not achieve the impressive
results achieved when complete environmental changes are made.
I (we) understand that my child (I) must always stay in the only
two initial environments that are acceptable, the special room
and outside, until additional areas are modified and become acceptable.
I understand that some leeway is available to less severely affected
adults, and the staff will recommend an option appropriate for
my situation.
-
I (we) agree that
during the first 5 weeks of the SF Comprehensive Intervention
Program, my child will not attend school unless the classroom
has been converted into a clean room and procedures for the room,
teachers, and educational materials are approved by the SF staff
and agreed to be the school. I (we) further agree that my child
will not return to school until all criteria of the program are
complied with.
-
I (we) understand
that my child's (my) specific symptoms, age, severity of his condition,
the construction of the home we live in, it's age, it's heating
and air conditioning system, and the time since renovation make
my child's (my) circumstances unique. Therefore, although recommendations
provided for me will be similar to those provided for other children
(adults), they will not be identical. I (we) agree to fully implement
all recommendations made for my child (me).
-
I (we) understand
that my child (I) will be entering into the SF Comprehensive Intervention
Research Program. I (we) give permission for data generated concerning
my child (myself) and our progress during the program to be used
in the research. I agree to provide a video record for use in
the research program as well. I understand that our privacy will
be respected and that all data will be protected as confidential
data. I understand that case study reports that do not identify
my child (me) will be prepared and published.
-
I (we) understand
that weekly telephone counseling appointments are an essential
part of the SF Comprehensive Intervention Program, and I agree
to participate in these weekly appointments. I (we) understand
that in return for participating in the above described research
program, I (we) will not be charged for these appointments, nor
for any other scientific and technical guidance and personal support
provided. I (we) understand that home visits and reviews of home
construction plans are not part of the research program, and there
is a charge for these services.
-
I (we) agree to purchase
materials for the dietary and environmental program from Special
Foods, unless otherwise directed. I understand the reasons for
this. I (we) agree to purchase a 5 week supply of foods for the
Special Foods Diet immediately upon entry into the SF Comprehensive
Intervention Program.
-
I (we) agree to fully
comply with the conditions and requirements of the program.
