[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s wild to ignore treatment developments for your child because you don’t like that someone you hate talked about it.  Didn’t you take prenatal vitamins when pregnant?  Folate has long been known to be important for brain development.[/quote]

It's understandable given the source. But just ignore RFK and Trump and look at the existing information and studies.[/quote]

Which are not at all enough to say anything. The main trial was 40 kids.

That wouldn't be enough to approve a new drug, but it wouldn't be usual for supplemental labeling changes for an already-approved drug, which is the situation here.

If tests find Folate Receptor Alpha Autoantibodies in a patient, this certainly looks like a worthwhile treatment to try. Leucovorin has a long safety record.

I think some of the posters here both think Leucovorin is a new drug (is isn't- it's been approved since the 1950s) and that its use on kids for autism is a new idea (it's not- it's been studied for almost 20 years).[/quote]

Forgive me for having a higher standard than “certainly looks useful to try” - particularly when its side effects exacerbate some of the most serious symptoms of autism (aggressive behavior) [/quote]

Another useless liberal. [/quote]
