"Thanks for all the help and support. I looked at your website and saw immediately that my son meets most of the criteria for RAD. He was adopted at 3 months and I previously thought that this could not be an issue. I will definitely look into appropriate treatment for this. Thank you very much!!!"

"Dear P.U.R.E., I just saw a documentary from when you won the freedom of speech case. I now see you have done better again. I was horrified by what I saw and inspired to write to say how wonderful you are. I was also impressed by how brave people in the show were."

"Dear Sue, My goodness, thank you for your detailed and informative email. At first I was reluctant to write to P.U.R.E. because I thought there was some gimmick involved, that I would be solicited for whatever reason, or my name and address sold on some mailing list, and be besieged with phone calls. However, after getting your informative email with no soli..." Read more

"P.U.R.E., I would like to thank you for your recommendations for my son. I have been doing extensive research for the past few weeks, including talking to an IEC (for $400 for a 1 hour initial consultation and the request for an additional $2100 if I wanted specific names of schools). I've read every website, and every message board. After all this research,..." Read more
