My criticism still stands: where's the evidence?<br /><br />As I said, Berger has not published any research results on his protocol. It's been over a year, since I wrote this article, and I still get nothing when I search for "david berger autism" on PubMed.Todd W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16192694127268195554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3609683919099708226.post-34671699951473908782013-09-26T22:17:29.079-04:002013-09-26T22:17:29.079-04:00Actually Berger is part of a multi-group study on ...Actually Berger is part of a multi-group study on vitamin D and autism prevention.

Preferably direct links to the published studies. I took a look on PubMed and was unable to find any studies linking aspartame consumption to autism.Todd W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16192694127268195554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3609683919099708226.post-86477902744072200492012-07-10T19:47:55.678-04:002012-07-10T19:47:55.678-04:00One thing we know for sure causes autism is a smok...One thing we know for sure causes autism is a smoking mother. The reason it causes autism is the methanol in the smoke causes damage to the developing brain. Until 30 years ago, smoking probably caused the majority of autism. What has changed since then that we suddenly have a major epidemic of autism? 30 years ago aspartame was introduced into diet sodas. Aspartame released methanol into the system. In fact, a liter of diet soda floods the body with as much methanol as a pack of cigarettes! Methanol is a deadly poison, and studies tracking aspartame consumption over time find that the increase in autism matches the increase in diet soda consumption! The explanation - on a biochemical level, not just guild by association - is in a new book by Woodrow Monte, PhD, called "While Science Sleeps."

She bought every one of Berger's claims without further analysis, and seems defensive about it all on Facebook.<br /><br />I suppose having a routine blood test for vitamin levels is kosher in terms of pre-conception preparation, but having a chelation challenge, and consider replacing your amalgam fillings? OH NO. Dental quackery!<br /><br />On his website, Berger is flogging HBOT for autism (and other conditions). What we know is HBOT cannot be effective for autism.<br /><br />Not surprisingly, Berger is right up there with Dr. Jay and Dr. Bob in the anti-vaccine brigade.Liz Ditzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03455722013211350247noreply@blogger.com
