Our son was diagnosed with mitochodrial dysfuction and much later, Autism. In our search to understand Mtd Autism, and what we might do to undo some of the damage, a lot of our research led us to links to glutamate, aspartate and other neurodegenerative diseases. While researching, we came across Dr. Bruce Fife's work and were intrigued.
Not long ago, just after receiving the book, we started our son (and ourselves) on a coconut oil regiment, palm oil every other day and the GARD/PALEO diet, which is very similar to that he recommends in the book. Already, we've seen some improvement. The frequent yeast infections around our son's mouth and other parts have vanished. His speech is clearer, and his attentiveness/overall attention has improved. We are looking forward to seeing how this will pan out in the long run.
We also shared what we learned with several other family members at risk for dementia and alzheimers!
