Dr Kokayi reviews the role that vaccinations may play in the increasing incidence of autism. His guest Julie Mathews is the author of Nourishing Hope: Nutrition Intervention for Autism Spectrum Disorders. Her book is an excellent resource and looks at the role of various nutritional diets and supplements in the treatment of autism related neurological problems including ADD and ADHD. She is has an excellent section of the book that describes the biochemistry of some of the chemical abnormalities associated with autism. Dr Kokayi and his guest Julie Mathews have concluded that most cases of autism result from environmental toxins and nutritional deficiencies as opposed to bad genetics.
