PuddleJumper1 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Marie - THANK YOU for posting this! We've been diet restricted with supplements for 10 years and I've managed never to know of this website. What a wealth of information. There is always room for more reading and learning :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 She's got a lot of great information on her site. I'll add another resource. :001_smile: My favorite online summary of supplements/biomedical treatments is this report: http://autismconferencesofamerica.com/files/summarybiomedicaltreatments_final040607.pdf It does a great job clearly laying out the beneficial supplements and treatments, and I like that it combines the parent effectiveness ratings (from the Autism Research Institute) as well as links to supporting research for the various treatments.

Crimson Wife Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 This article seems to be focused on replacing the vitamins & minerals lost when eliminating dairy from the child's diet. While that's certainly important, I would argue that in terms of helping with symptoms of autism, they aren't the most crucial ones to give. I would say more important are omega 3's, DMG or TMG, zinc if that's low, and the B-vitamins, especially the bioactive forms like methyl B12, P5P, folinic acid, TTFD or benfotiamine, etc. Antioxidants like Coenzyme Q10, n-acetyl-cysteine, selenium, etc. are also often very beneficial.
