[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is he on it?[/quote]

They have found that 75% of autistic people have an underlying immune condition where their bodies mistakenly create antibodies thatbattack the folate receptors.  This results in a folaye deficiency in the brain. * The brain needs folate to function properly. 
Since a huge majority of autistic people have this underlying condition,  every autistic person should be tested for this.

* please note that a regular serum folate tesr does NOT show folate deficiency because this is not caused by lack of ingesting enough folate. The problem occurs when the body tries to transport that folate across the blood- brain barrier.  Those specific folate receptors are comprised and can't do their job. So blood test is fine but if you did a spinal tap you would find low levels of folate in the spinal fluid.  Obviously they dont want to do such an invasive procedure,  so Dr Quadros devised a test to look for and measure the auto antibodies. If the antibodies exist you can reasonably assume there is a lack of folate in the nervous system/brain[/quote]

Please share a citation and explain who "they" are. [/quote]

Why are people like you so awful? Its obvious "they" are the researchers that op wrote about. And there were numerous descriptions of where to find more information if you would like citations. [/quote]

Oh where were these numerous descriptions? OP name-checked one researcher, that's it, so I found some stuff by googling.

OP complained that people don't follow up. But they don't follow up because OP isn't providing the information and OP's tone is spammy, like she's trying to draw attention before making a sales pitch.

Hey, if you dont follow up on a potential therapy for your child because youre too lazy to hit the Google search bar thats no ones issue except your own and your poor child's.  Don't take it out on the board.[/quote]
