Ashley’s father’s plan to promote “the Ashley Treatment”
January 30, 2009 by huahima
In the December 31, 2007 update of his blog, Ashley’s father revealed what he was considering to do to promote “the Ashley Treatment” for the quality of life of other Pillow Angels in the world.
・ He asks “pioneering parents” who want to do the same as they did to contact them through e-mail for information exchange. They are willing to help them. He also wants to compile and accumulate data from “the first wave of therapies” to help “future generations of Pillow Angels.”
・ He is willing to share the late Dr. Gunther’s documentation of the Ashley case and their own notes with families and doctors who are reviwing the treatment.
・ He is thinking of establishing “a safe and private forum to share notes and help one another” so that “this grassroots effort will pave the way toward a formal study on the different aspects of the Ashley Treatment”.
・ He now has a “one-slide summary on the Ashley Treatment” in his blog, his promotion tool of the Ashley Treatment. (You can get to the summary from the link above).
Reading all this along with the symposium report I introduced in my previous entry, don’t you wonder what is really going on behind that farce of symposium?
