[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in NW but go to an autism specialist who actually has authored many studies on Leucovorin and autism. Look up drs Frye and Rossignol. They have data going back years. My dd has been on it for 5 years. They don’t put all of their patients on it. You need to do a FRAT test first to see if you have antibodies, etc. I hate that now everyone is jumping on board, regardless of if it will be effective. It’s not going to be effective for a large percentage of autism patients who don’t have a positive on the FRAT test. [/quote]

It hasn't been widely studied, but folate receptor autoantibodies seem to have high prevalence in kids with autism-- perhaps as high as 75%.

But it is pretty incestuous research- basically all going back to Frye. That's suspicious. Either it is an incredibly interesting research that much of the medical community has been largely ignoring for unknown reasons, they're cooking the numbers somehow.[/quote]
Not really that odd for researchers to specialize in a certain area. [/quote]

It is odd for other researchers to not pick up promising research areas from
others.[/quote]

I think that there was research interest in this but it was extremely premature for Trump and RFK Jr to leap over all the normal processes. Arguably there was less incentive to research this med because it was generic already. But … ya know … Trump and RFK could have announced that they were funding such research instead of what they actually did. [/quote]
