Dore Talk

As I have posted in other areas today I feel deep down that Wynford cannot fight this battle alone, we as part of the Dore family have to be a part of the process as well. It is our children that proves the treatment works, so lets not take this crisis lying down, we should also be fighting for all the future generations of adults and children that may not get the same chance.

Wynford, Susie and Rosie how do you feel we can help the cause as well, we can show our support on the forums but that will not reach the outside world where it matters. Wynfords Dream of getting it recognised and in schools has to carry on, there is no other treatment that can give such life changing results, it cannot falter it has to continue. The Dore as we all know it may be gone but their belief and drive to get it recognised can carry on through us. It will not be any good sitting back and waiting for the envitable, we have to fight with our feet. Ellie XXX

Ellie - well said. When you started Dore with Leila, there was no support network, and through other forums and us mums talking with each other, Wynford understood this and created this wonderful forum.

The Dore Programme changes lives and I will do whatever I can to get that message out there.

One idea would be to create an e-petition on the No.10 website and email it round.

Happy to do this if someone wants to help me with the wording.

I'm in the middle of setting one up. Just trying to get the wording right. Will post details as soon as it's done

bugalug I've sent you an e mail

The petition is on it's way soon. Will let you know when it's up and running. In the mean time it might be a good idea to contact your local MP. The more of them we can get on side the better. I'm going to try to get my MP to come to my house so I can show him everything that Laura has achieved and try to convince him that the programme works. I won't let him go until he believes me lol. Does anyone have any other ideas?

HALLILUYAH ?sp count me in and good luck with your MP Debbie. Ellie XXX

Hi everyone - been away a few days and had a lot of time sitting in a tent while the rain poured down!!

 is anyone up for meeting up and making this more than a forum ?action group? not always the nicest image but feel we need to do as much as possible as you all do!

also great to see such postiive comments and discussion - i know it was a shock - believe me the tears were real - anyone within a 50 mile radius of Northampton meeting up let me know

We too have been away over the weekenend. We have admitted defeat and come home tonight instead of staying the week as we thought our awning was going to fly away. We got the email just before we went. Mathhew is lucky as we had an appointment last Monday but we still feel quite gutted about the whole thing as although it was taking time things were starting to happen. Has the petition been set up yet?

 I really think we have all got to stick together.

pooh bear - I would love to meet up, but unfortunately, we live in Kent, which is too far.

I'm up for a meet though if anyone in our local area wants to do something over the half-term.

It is great to hear that so many people are thinking in the same positive way. I would be happy to join you guys and meet up. We live in Hampshire, so not sure how this fits with others ?

 Wynford and his family have invested so much of themselves up until this point and I think that it is time for them to draw on the resources of everyone in the wider DORE family to weather the storm and take DORE forward.

Jane, Mum to Sam

I TOTALLY agree with everyone on the thread. The programme MUST continue and we must do everything we can to ensure it does. As Ellie said, Dore is literally life changing!!! I am just at the very final stages of the programme now (the last 3 weeks where you do no exercises and then have a full reassessment) and i was due to attend Dore for my final appointment on June 4th. I simply cannot articulate how profoundly the treatment has transformed my life - and in no way do i say that flippantly. All my life (i'm 26) i suffered severe anxiety and depression as a result of struggling in so many areas of my life. I was told by numerous specialists that there was nothing wrong with me - as my symptoms did not fall into an 'umbrella' term such as dyslexia - other than my mental health issues. I cannot emphazise enough therefore what it meant to me to visit the Dore Centre last June and have people acknowledge that there was indeed an underlying reason for my suffering .....and, furthermore, that something could actually be done to cure it (and cure is exactly what Dore did)!

When i got the email on Friday i was absolutely devasted (i was literally in tears). It tears me apart to think that others are suffering the way that i was and that they are being denied the solution to their distress - when it could/should be so readily available.

I know by writing this that i am 'preaching to the converted' but if anyone stumbling across the forum doubts the validity of the programme then i'll put it this way......if you offered me £10 million to revert to the way i was pre-dore, i'd decline the money hands down every time!!!  Lynne XXX

Hi,

I agree there must be a solution. Thank you Wynford and all the Dore Bromley Centre. My comment links to a number of posts - see below.

I am a Mum to 3 children, 2 of whom are going through the Dore programme. Our next appt was scheduled for 17th June. For my Son this was to be his last appt having just finished the wind down phase and my daughter is nearing the end. For both children we have witnessed huge changes that are I am sure, due to Dore. I feel that I am grieving with the news about Dore, even though at times its is a pain to get the kids to do the exercises. My Son got English SATS 2 levels higher than expected last year and despite the criticism some people levy at Dore and the lack of scientific base I live by faith and have faith in Dore. We too were at the Bromley Centre and have huge praise for all staff but in particular for Sarah, who always made the effort to get in early so that 2 assessments could be done at the same time. In fact it was only on Monday 19th May that Sarah took the time to phone to see how Rachel was getting on. I firmly believe that if the Government can bail out Northern Rock then they should bail out Dore and restructure it so it is a viable business model within the confines of the LEA.

Welcome to the forum Lynne and I am really pleased that you too have benefitted from the treatment. Like you I would do anything to help the cause it not only helps children but adults as well as so many of you have proved.

There must be some way we can arrange a campaign between us all, we all come from different ends of Britain and the world if those from other counties are willing to join the fight. If by e-mail then that is one way or a venue where all of us could meet but many would have to travel, I am on an Island but willing to travel anywhere if there is the need and it would help the cause of Dore.

The petition is in the process of being produced, Debbie and any of the other UK Dories who are willing can lobby their MP's.

Do we want a rally to parliament with the petition to show our solidarity and commitment to Dore and highlight the fight for children who have sp LD's

There has been no mention by the national media about what is happening, which could be to our advantage, we need to have them concentrate on the people like us who are standing up and being counted as having benefitted from Dore. Most companies go bust and they do not have 1000's of people willing to fight their cause where Dore have us. 

Just a few suggestions but it will get the debate going and hopefully help with ideas, to get the message across it will have to involve as many public arena's as possiable. Ellie XXX

The petition is a good idea and my husband and I had thought about writing to our MP. I think we also need to get the individual schools our kids attend to get behind the success of the Dore programme but that is a challenge because in my experience the schools like to put the improvements down to them! Carolynx

I know what you mean about the schools Carolyn I do get the same feeling with Kierans teacher as well. But he never saw Leila go through it. The headmaster was very interested  in the changes he saw in Leila and he retires this year, the SENCO teacher remembered Leila  and had actually recommended it to a mother of a child who has ADHD, he has made great strides through the treatment and is now nearing completion.

Once the children are back at school next week I will go and see them and ask if they would be willing to sign the petition, that would be a start.

The Balsall school had its own Dore treatment regime maybe they would be willing to join the campaign with the parents of children who have benefitted. I do not know if they would have also been affected by these turn of events. There is also the small private school in the midlands that was also using Dore?

Thanks Ellie. I live in Glasgow but i too am willing to travel wherever need be in the name of saving Dore and i am also willing to testify to whoever will listen regarding the effect the programme can, and indeed does have on those who undertake it! I think we should pursue every avenue open to us until the government has to listen and I, for one, intend looking into contacting my local MP asap.

I'll stay well tuned to the forum to follow the progress of the petition etc

Perhaps there could be mobile Dore clinics a bit like the mobile blood donor service. Maybe they could make arrangements to use supermarket car parks to set them up in. Don't know if it would be possible but just a thought. It would certainly save on costs.

There has been a lot of talk about the role of the 'government'. As part of the problem and as key to the solution.

Personally I think that governments (and the governing bodies of most schools) are BLIND, DEAF and CONSTIPATED with SELF-IMPORTANCE.

They have their adgendas and YOUR child and MINE are totally irrelevant to  them.

Face it, this problem needs cold, hard cash to solve it; not good intentions or compassion.

We need to start looking for investors who can see the possible profit in a well run dore centre.

WELL RUN - by sound business people who know their market.

We need Wynford as our visionary and his international and national affiliates as key players in carrying dore into a new dimension.

That's the solution.  It won't come cheap.  But that's the only place a solution is going to come from.

Find the passion ADD the investment EQUAL  the solution = centres back up and running!

Hi, while it may not produce results, I have emailed a letter to the PM in Australia asking the government for assistance to keep DORE alive.  The more people we can get to voice and advocate for DORE the better.  Perhaps the loud voice of the people who know this works will get them to look at it more closely.

I believe there is no harm in asking, may even be pleasantly surprised by the response and we have nothing to lose.  Also lobby the schools.   How else can we get the message out there out about this wonderful programme if we ourselves do not speak up

What a fantastic idea Debbie! It would certainly cut costs wouldn't it?

Our local mobile blood van uses the carpark in the Harvester Restaurant near us.

If you go to their website, you can see each week where they are going to be.
