Vitamin D Council announces free clinic to treat vitamin D deficiency in children with autism

The Vitamin D Council is finally kicking its vitamin D clinic for children with autism into full swing this week. If you know of a child with autism, and the parents are willing to give adequate doses of vitamin D, the Vitamin D Council will help the parents with our new free vitamin D clinic for children with autism.

Studies show that many children with autism have low vitamin D levels and some parents have reported that some children appeared to show a treatment effect when vitamin D blood levels achieve high normal ranges. However, we do not promise any such treatment effect, only that an adequate dose of vitamin D will treat vitamin D deficiency. The entire goal of the clinic is to bring vitamin D levels up to the high normal range.

The clinic consists of free autism rating scales for parents and teachers, free vitamin D blood tests (up to $65.00 per test), free visits or phone calls with Dr. John Cannell, and, if needed, free vitamin D supplements. For more information, email our Development Director Brant Cebulla at bcebulla@vitamindcouncil.org

There is more and more evidence that Vitamin D deficiency is a real problem, so this is a good idea!

Wonder if this will help or not. Friends of ours have a severly autistic son (non-verbal) and he had no change with the vitamin D. They were hopeful but it didn't make any difference for him. It's looking more and more like autism isn't just one thing- the end result can look the same but perhaps with different causes. This is such a frustrating mystery- hopefully they will finally figure out what is going on.
