How effective is vitamin therapy for treating Asperger's syndrome?

Question

Discover magazine described treatment/research being conducted at www.truehope.com using megavitamin therapy to treat psychological/psychiatric condtions. What are the results of people who have tried this?

Answer 1

Vitamins, eliminating dairy, and drinking clean water every day could also provide significant results.

Do the vitamins but also consider this very important study about enzymes and join the support group to find out more.

Here are survey results from members of the board (see my post above)
These results reference one brand of enzymes, but the board discusses other brands too. Strength is important with enzymes: read the back label on the bottle for notations like "2000gdu" or other abbreviations , which stand for how strong the enzyem is. It is not enough to simply look at number of milligrams in each capsule.

These survey results look so good!

• The overwhelming majority of respondents saw noticeable improvements with Peptizyde and HN-Zyme Prime. Of 260 total respondents using these products for at least 3 weeks, 235 (90%) reported positive results, 14 (6%) reported negative results, and 11 (4%) reported inconclusive results.
• Significant improvements were seen in eye contact, language, humor, foods tolerated, digestion, stools/bowels, Significant decreases were seen in aggression, hyperness, anxiety, self-stimming, self-injurious behavior, pain, and headaches among others.
• Most positive results were apparent within the first 3 weeks. Most people say any side effects or adjustment effects which start with enzyme use stop within 3 weeks.
• The majority of respondents (about 85%) were either 100% GFCF or partial GFCF with enzymes. More gluten/casein foods were added as people stayed with Peptizyde over time.
• After 7 months on enzymes, there have been no reports of any regression after success is seen past the 3-week adjustment period, including in those eating gluten/casein liberally.
• People saw significant improvements whether they are on or not on a restrictive diet.
• Improvements continued over time with continued enzyme use. The longer on enzymes, the more foods people tend to re-introduce and the more positive results are seen.
• Timing is key to getting consistently positive results.
• Many people see the Happy Child Effect, which refers to the general, overall positive disposition of the child once they start taking Peptizyde and Zyme Prime regularly.
