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."
