New Perspective on Autism syndrome set forth by doctor

In the Huffington Post,  by Dr.  Mark Hyman, " Why Current Thinking About Autism is Completely Wrong",   September 5,  2009:

Hyman is a practicing physician and a pioneer researcher,  and founder of  the UltraWellness Center.  The essay by him is so involved,  it does not easily lend itself to a copy/paste account.  I would highly recommend that readers who take an interest in the skyrocketing rates of autism in this country read the whole piece and come to their own  conclusions.   Hyman believes that autism is a systemic disease,  and adheres to a bio-chemical explanation of autism and other mental illnesses in children.  His cure:   A complex regimen of vitamin treatment and mineral therapy,  including therapeutic doses of magnesium and zinc.  In addition,  support of the brain structure and chemistry using Omega-3 fats.  

  Currently,  there are doctors who take a similar approach to cancer,  and have the same excellent results. (Admittedly,  not always,  but it is worth thinking about,  when traditional medical therapies have failed or simply been exhausted).    I think Hyman can be said to have admirably gone beyond the '60s parenting/' 90s brain disorder dichotomy with regard to childhood autism.   The entire article can be read at:  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dr-mark-hyman/why-current-thinking-abou_b_275753.html
