Nutritional Treatment Studies for Autism by James Adams, PhD

This presentation will focus on new results of a major vitamin/mineral treatment study for children with autism. The study will include the effect of a specialized vitamin/mineral supplement on the symptoms of autism, and the effect of the supplement on nutritional status. This includes a comparison of the nutritional status of children with autism versus typical children, including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, neurotransmitters, oxidative stress, and toxic metals.
