As a holistic health practitioner, research scientist and author of several books on illness prevention and toxicology, I applaud this study. I have read virtually every study in the field of autism and conferred with colleagues who assist autistic children and their parents. Here is what I have learned.
The medical community does not fully understand how the human body works or the impact of the mother's health on her fetus. There are no tests to measure the total body burden of heavy metals or organic toxins. There are no valid studies that control the variables necessary to make conclusions regarding the causes or treatments for autism. The best medicine can do is to observe and collect information for the future. In the meantime, my approach is to teach people how to restore their bodies as close as possible to the condition that Nature intended.
I feel confident there is no single cause of autism. Certain toxins, but not others, may produce symptoms in some children, but not others. I also feel confident that there is no single cure for autism. Certain remedies, but not others, may produce results in some children but not others. That is what the evidence has shown. I also applaud those parents and doctors with the courage to experiment with a variety of safe preventive measures and remedies.
For more information on an approach to health based on Nature, see my book: "The Wellness Project."

There are thousands of studies on autism and he's looked at virtually all of them. Bullshit. The frakking handbook on autism and ASDs is almost 1500 pages alone. If it took 1500 pages to condense what is nown about autism from the studies done, and he's not an autism expert himself, sure he's read virtually all of it.
I haven't decided whether to respond directly or not. I'll calm down first. Yup. Suggestions?
