Lots of people have been asking me what I'm up to lately. Here are some details:
1. Show me the science!
Did you ever have doctors tell you there is no scientific basis for the biomedical treatment of autism? Well guess what: Since 1990 there have been 105 studies linking autism and diet. There have been over 70 studies linking autism to immune and metabolic abnormalities. There have been over 60 studies describing a positive outcome from biomedical treatments. Why don't doctors know this? Because nobody has told them!
Now you can print up and send doctors, teachers, and family members a list of these medical and scientific abstracts at www.autismbiomed.com . It's long past time for parents and professionals to get on the same page, and treat autism as a medical disorder instead of a genetic, behavioral abnormality.
2. Petition
Recently, a small, badly flawed study by the NIH and the University of Rochester reported that special diets do not demonstrate behavioral improvement in children with autism ( HERE ). As you can imagine, this conclusion stirred up a good deal of outrage from parents and professionals alike.
We now have 589 signatures on a petition to the National Institutes of Health asking that the United States medical authorities consider the documentation of multiple case studies, scientific studies, clinical experience and parental observations of thousands of patients to be sufficient evidence that special diets can be a useful treatment for some percentage of children with autism, and issue a public statement to that effect. When we reach our goal of 2000 signatures, the petition will be presented to the NIH by myself and Dr. Jaquelyn McCandless. You can sign the petition at http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/autism-diet-support/ .
Free Autism-Diet e-Book
