Autism Vox

Will there be a run on this in the wake of this sort of testimony:

“This is the stuff that really made Evan excrete yeast and start talking more.”

I was looking at their “saliva test”: If your saliva sinks to the bottom, turns the water cloudy, or stays on top with threads coming down, you might have a yeast or fungal problem. But, I wonder, what is one’s saliva supposed to do? What’s left?

not so much interested in yeast, but I think if a child does have unrelated gastrointestinal problems (I noticed it was a ‘probiotic’), then if you fix, them, well of course communication will improve. That’s not treating autism, that’s making a kid more comfortable so they can learn easier… but then, I’d just get yogurt (an actually, now that I think about it, his school buys him yogurt, he often eats it for breakfast and his diapers are better at school, duh, maybe I need to increase his yogurt eating at home - my son does have unrelated gastrointestinal issues - in the form of frequent diarrhea - a nurse friend of mine thinks the constant mouthing of stuff and creating more saliva, plus his high metabolism, might be part of it)

Somehow, a review dependent on the word “stuff” doesn’t strike me as the most credible.

Excerpted: “We provide nutritional products that may assist the body in its efforts to nutritionally rebuild and heal itself.”

Heck, these folks arent even Sure that their products can help anything, though they May.
