Is this where I ask questions. Thank you for your research. Our family has had many health issues I believe related to milk. Have you read The Magnesium Factor by Mildred Seelig?
Your findings alongside hers makes so much sense to me. We are generally, magnesium deficient due to processed foods, milk, sugar, etc.. She has the science behind magnesium deficiency and so many diseases. She suggests were are primarily magnesium deficient. I believe we could have less problems with wheat if we had a more magnesium rich foods with it and small amounts(less animal protein)of meat or milk along with no processed foods with plenty of vegetables and fruit. Thank you for showing so much can be reversible. I am wondering if wheat allergies can reverse with more magnesium and optimal dietary conditions, sunlight and exercise to absorb the magnesium? Maintaining proper Calcium/Magnesium balances may change a lot of disease and help us get and absorb other nutrients better. Mildred Seelig was a doctor that worked a pharmaceutical company first to make drugs and the thing she found was that magnesium was the main thing they were trying to simulate in the drugs but it didn't make money because it was so cheap. She went into magnesium research after that and learned incredible information about disease. Someone that knew Mildred Seelig's work said she knew of a man in Kentucky that was an O.B. doctor and put every patient that was pregnant on 500mg of magnesium a day of any type and none of the patients but one or two that had come to him late in their pregnancies had pre-term births. They were all full term births. He had done it with sheep first and was successful. If you could at least respond to me in e-mail I would appreciate it. It all goes together in my mind. They told me I had peridontal disease but after taking magnesium there are no signs of it or any dental problems. The work you are doing is so crucial and could eliminate so much suffering. Much more seems to be preventable and reversible than we could have ever imagined. Thanks for your work.

All -

This is an incomplete posting at best. At worst, it is purposefully skewed to portray the scientific research to be overwhelmingly supportive of this view point.

The issues around scientific research can be confusing to folks who have no background in study design and statistical analysis. While there are many studies done every year, and some that reach the aforementioned conclusions, the vast majority reach an opposite conclusion. Additionally, the findings in many of the cited studies can not be statistically backed when you dig into the raw data underlying them.

As parents, we are often willing to grasp at solutions based on our emotional desire for a "cure" or a need for a causative effect to bring meaning to an illness. We need to tamp down those emotions and approach the topic without bias. We need to open ourselves to all of the research, not just that which has been cherry picked above.

Follow the overall science and the preponderance of evidence. It will one day lead us to a real understanding and a potential solution.

Regards!

Karyn - "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."

Well-stated! I'd like to purchase a copy of your book(s) and learn about biomedical recovery. The testimonials from parents are heart-warming, quite moving, and VERY compelling.

After a lifetime of the vaccine schedules, fluoridated toothpaste, and mercury amalgam dentistry, many of us probably need detoxification, ASAP.

Is that seriously the best evidence? The first two studies don't make any sense in the context of her thesis.

Thank you Karen for saving my son Ben from autism.

By the grace of God my hand fell on your book three days after Ben went mute from his 18 month vaccination. I put him on the diet the next day. After seven more days of being mute he said his first word, again! He had started to find his way back to us.

It took him a year to catch up in speech to his peers, and two years for all of his sensory problems to go away, but by that time he was only three and a half years old.

He's ten now, top of his class, and his team just won the end of the season soccer tournament. Thank you for letting him have a life!

All the best,

The are a number of university research staff on "standby, waiting for money"...to create a study to disprove anything & everything the parent of an ASD child says or does.

The goal of this staff is always the same,

No cause, no fault, no cure, no treatments, but please keep sending us money so we can continue to think about the problem so dear to us....

Karyn, Is the eBook available in any other format? It's such a great intro, I'd love to see it available to everyone. Thanks for all your work. I remember reading your book over a Christmas visit to family ages ago and not being able to put it down!

Thank you Karyn!

Your book was my first step towards understanding what was going on with my very sick child. I learned more about helping Christian and what was wrong with him from your book than from a 3 day hospital stay - he had an MRI, CAT scan, blood tests and EEG....still the physicians had no idea how to interpret the findings.

It irks me to no end when the academic community willfully remains ignorant about the massive amount of positive research between diet and ASD. It is like dealing w/ a 2 yr old. If they don't see it- it doesn't exist- if it did not happen to their child it did not happen. The science is here.

It is so great to see Karyn Seroussi! When my son regressed into autism at 18 months, Karyn's book was the first one I read. It gave my husband and I so much hope and guidance. I am so grateful to Karyn for sharing her story. My son is eleven now and doing well. He still has a long road, but he is doing so much better because of diet, supplements and therapy. Thank you Karyn Seroussi!!

thanks karyn. i read your book when my son was 20 months old, started the diet immediately and had great results that helped resolve most of his gut issues and allergies. he is now 9 and in fourth grade, fully mainstreamed. thanks for writing that book! i can't even think about where he would be now if i had not had that information at the right time...he was a very sick toddler...anyone who has a child with autism w/ allergies or gi issues please, please, please try the diet. best to all, anne
