[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would hope that most competent providers would wait for actual evidence, instead of relying on the say-so of two non-doctors who also believe that horse dewormer cures covid.[/quote]

There are numerous small scale studies from all over the world. There was an announcement yesterday of 50M in funding for lather studies.
Any doctor who tells you that they can not prescribe a vitamin for your autistic child is not the doctor for you.[/quote]

Any person who thinks calling something a “vitamin” somehow makes the case for it being benign or safe sorely misunderstands the issues. [/quote]
DP. So do you not take anything the FDA approves ever? To me the area lacking research is for efficacy for autism. But it’s been approved for other uses for 70 years. [/quote]

It’s like talking to a wall but I will try again.

The fact that this drug has been used in the past or subjected to (small) studies in autism does not mean that the research has actually been done to know if it actually works for autism. [/quote]

Many of the drugs used for autism don't ultimately work for autism. And many of them have much more serious side effects than leucovorin.

So we have a drug with a long and solid safety history, some open-label prospective trials with limited, but promising, results, and two double-blind RCTs with positive findings on efficacy and side effects.

It's not like there are effective alternatives here.[/quote]
