Dan Rossignol, MD just completed a study on HBOT that proves it's effectiveness

in autism. I beleive it's available on the ARI website right now. www.autism.com

ARI has collected over 25,000 surveys from parents on what works for their

children. Nearly 70% of the parents stated that putting their child on a GFCF

diet (or Specific Carbohydrate diet) helped.

There's a new study from the University of Ontario that was done recently on

autism and dietary issues. Hard to argue with university science

you might want to also look at the free interviews from Jepson, MD, and

Doreen Granpeesheh, BCBA on the site. There's lots of footage from thje DAN!

conferences- all free to watch.

Dr Jepson authored the book " Changing the course of Autism " . His interview

is on the home page- right hand side. Do a search for Granpeesheh's videos- they

are on there.

Granpeesheh runs the very successful CARD clinics- Center for Autism and

Releated disorders.

Jepson is one of the physicians on the team at Thoughtful House

www.thoughtfulhouse.org

The one thing that has always bothered me is BCBA's who refuse to validate

autism as a whole body illness, most often with gut damage- sometimes severe.

Those who think biomedical interventions and special diets are snake oil gotta

look at the presentation here on gut conditions found in kids with ASD-

Krigsman's presentation for instance:

http://www.thoughtfulhouse.org/conference-presentations.htm

and I am a firm beleiver in ABA- so long as it's used in addition to medical

treatments for autism- and I do not mean psych meds, I mean actual treatments

for the underlying causes of the autism symptoms. When kids have behaviours,

you have to first rule out illness, pain or deficiencies before you assume it's

" just autism "

there's a recent TV interview on CBS of Martha Herbert, MD, PhD from Harvard,

Mass General- you may be interested in:

Another very good article that was in Discover magazine last April that explains

autism:

The world was once thought to be flat.

Ulcers were once thought to be caused by stress

Autism was once thought to be caused by refrigerator moms

all these things were proven wrong.

WARNING!! Flu shots can cause chronic fatigue syndrome, brain injury, restless

legs, and many other disorders including permanent immune system damage. 90% of

this year's flu shots contain 25 mcg of mercury- 4 times the safety limits set

by our own EPA for the average adult. Pregnant women and infants are at far

greater risk. Mercury can cause autism. For more information see
