It's a waste of time. You have to undo the damage from the mercury before the child will improve. Don't waste time and energy with these useless early intervention therapies. Call A DAN doctor, sign up for the Yahoo group Autism Mercury and you might be able to get rid of the autism.

He's not allergic to Gluten or any other substances. However, we still try to limit his gluten intake given all the community's input on the issue. We have also been suplementing his diet with Omega 3 and most recently Zinc. We did notice a huge improvement on my son. My wife swears it's the Omega 3, but I'm not so sure. It could be his therapies, or any of the other things we have been trying. I'm a science guy, so before I can affirm anything, I need proof. That's why I'm not 100% convinced it was the Omega 3 that caused this improvement. The same way with all the vaccines. There are no proof that the vaccines cause autism. However, there's such a strong correlation given the input of several parents, that they might be related. Like many in the community like to say, the vaccines might not necessarily cause autism, but it might trigger it. It's just such a huge topic. Maybe I'll blog about it someday :) Thanks for the interest in my son. @B,

I know Jenny McCarthy feels there is a correlation between diet and autism "symptoms"(?). Do you find this to be true? And with the controversy over vaccines, would you care to share your thoughts on that issue? HI J2R,

I pray your son is doing better.

I know Jenny McCarthy feels there is a correlation between diet and autism “symptoms”(?). Do you find this to be true?

And with the controversy over vaccines, would you care to share your thoughts on that issue?
