Vitamin B6 and Magnesium and the Treatment of Autism
Wednesday, August 26th, 2009Healing Thresholds has a very informative article on using Vitamin B6 and magnesium to treat autism.
A brief excerpt:
Magnesium is found in many foods, but is especially plentiful in green vegetables, seeds, nuts, and whole grains. A supplement containing magnesium can be taken every day, but check with your child’s pediatrician before starting a supplement. While it is not clear what the proper dose for children with autism should be, research reports used a dose in the range of 6-15 mg/kg/day (or about 108-270 mg total daily for a 40-pound child) (3, 7).
