Vitamin D may help Treat Autism
The Vitamin D Newsletter
Dr. John Cannell

John
is a seven-year old boy
living in the northeastern U.S. with a long-
standing diagnosis of autism.
Symptoms
include temper tantrums, repetitive self-
stimulatory behavior, impaired language,
mood swings, fear of being alone, toileting
problems, digestive issues, and impaired
muscle strength.
John spends a
lot of time
outdoors starting in the spring and his
mother noticed a distinct seasonal
variation in his symptoms in that he
improved in the summer and regressed in
the winter.
A 25-hydroxy-vitamin
D in April
of 2008 was 25 ng/ml and obtained after
John had begun to play outside.
I advised the mother to stop all products
containing vitamin A including cod liver oil
and begin John on 5,000 IU of vitamin D3
per day for two weeks followed by 2,000 IU
per day in the form of powdered vitamin D
dissolved in juice.
Within a week of starting the vitamin D,
John's language began to return and he
was no longer as fearful of being alone. At
the end of two weeks his language showed
further improvement, he began to toilet
himself, counted to 10 and knew the
spelling of his name. After three weeks
language continued to improve and some
improvements were noted in his
dysbacteriosis.
After four weeks of vitamin D treatment,
the mother noted improvements in muscle
strength as well as continued
improvements in language

Dr Eisenstein's
comments:
I have had the same clinical experience as Dr.
Cannell. Therefore, I recommend the 25(OH)D vitamin
D test and at least Vitamin D3
5,000IU
as part of the
treatment of all children on the autism
spectrum.
I have added Probiotics to our Vitamin D3 5,000IU to
increase absorption and potency.
