Patches of Disorganization in the Neocortex of Children with Autism - NEJM - 0 views

  •  
    New study suggests that intra-uterine exposure effects prefrontal cortex development that leads to autism.  This study was conducted of postmortem samples of children with autism ranging from 2 to 15. Intra-pregnancy exposure of what?  That is the question.  Environmental toxins: whether it is all the xenoestrogens (autism at rate of 5:1 in boys), PCBs, heavy metals, and yes (lead author) preservatives, metals (Al and thermeresol) in vaccines--particularly the flu vaccine which ACOG is almost mandating during pregnancy.

A Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial of Oral N-Acetylcysteine in Children with Autism - 0 views

  •  
    900 mg of NAC over short 4 week course provided significant improvement in behavior of children with autism.  No pre treatment evaluation was performed.  One wonders if therapeutic therapy was actually undertaken if the results would have been better.  NAC is a precursor to Glutathione production and detoxification compromise is common place in autism.
