Possible Cure For Autism

Henry V .009 writes "Scientists in New Jersey are claiming that children
with autism are unable to metabolize key fatty acids that fight
brain-damaging inflammations. They have already developed urine/blood
tests
to identify at-risk children. A preventive cure to autism may be as
simple
as a 'therapeutic cocktail' of fatty acids. Human trials could start
later
this year."

Sounds like a possible cure for *one* *cause* of autism. Not a cure
for autism, not even if the original cause of that autism was this
inflamation.



People have to remember that. Autism is not a specific disease but a
symptom. If it were know exactly what it is and only one thing, we would
have a cure quickly.
