There can be no question that Vitamin D deficiency is a major factor that must be addressed whenever children are failing to thrive!
Do not fail to read Dr. Cannell’s comments about this case report at the bottom of this report - this is NOT JUST ABOUT AUTISM – this applies to everyone. How much Vitamin D do we need to get levels up in the ideal range?
“ …your pediatrician knows little about Vitamin D other than what committees tell him; your decision to ignore his advice probably saved your son’s brain from further injury” (excerpt of Dr. Cannell’s comments) Continued

Other considerations in autism are mitochondrial and nuclear defects.
“Of the 282 individuals with ASD, 14 (10 males and 4 females) met the modified Walker diagnostic criteria for mitochondrial disease. These individuals tested negative on chromosome microarray analysis, fragile X syndrome, Angelman syndrome, and Rett syndrome, among other tests. Neurological characteristics accompanying their ASD included ataxia, dystonia, seizure disorder, and developmental delay. All 14 demonstrated molecular or biochemical problems.”
And don’t forget that the latest information on Autism will be presented at tomorrow’s conference, which will be of special importance for chiropractors. Continued

Here is the link to an outstanding webinar on Autism where I was the moderator https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/330944962. Dr. Renee Tocco has organized the PowerPoint with super efficiency and added graphics to many of the slides that will make this webinar very informative for patients where so much of this is news and, therefore, hard for them to comprehend when first presented.
This is a great group doing wonderful work in Autism. Please seriously look at their program and speakers, as I assure you if you get there you will be very glad you made the effort, as there is so much to learn and they have the total approach that I endorse.
