Rep Power: 35 | First Successful Use Of Vitamin D Supplement For Childhood Autism Vitamin D Council Special Report: First Successful Use Of Vitamin D Supplement For Childhood Autism Dr. John Cannell provides first-hand account of improvement using vitamin D supplement for a 7-year-old child with season autistic disorder (PRWEB) May 31, 2008 -- In this month's Vitamin D Council newsletter, Dr. John Cannell, psychiatrist and director of the non-profit educational organization, the Vitamin D Council, reports on a 7-year-old 50-pound boy whose autistic symptoms were clearly seasonal, who had a low serum 25-hydroxy-vitamin D, and who appeared to rapidly respond to treatment with 2,000 IU of cholecalciferol per day. Dr. Cannell cautions that this is only a case report and does not prove a treatment effect. Parents need to understand that vitamin D will not cure autism. Furthermore, Dr. Cannell cautions that it is unlikely that older autistic children or individuals with severe autism will show these sorts of apparent improvements. Furthermore, autism is a multifactorial disease with strong genetic roots and it is highly unlikely that treatment of vitamin D deficiency in all autistic children will result in similar improvements. Finally, Dr. Cannell did not examine this child, and is relying on the child's mother to report his condition and his apparent response to vitamin D treatment. However, the mother agreed to speak with the press about her son and allow for independent confirmation of the apparent treatment response. Dr. Cannell also reminds readers that the main value of case reports is to stimulate further research. He called upon Dr. Thomas Insel, Director of the National Institute of Mental Health, to see that additional needed reasearch is done in a timely manner.
