Glutathione is making headlines
again with the recent publication of a research study by Dr. S. Jill James
showing that children with autism have impaired antioxidant defense due to
low glutathione levels. Readers of this newsletter may recognized Dr.
James as the person who connected autism, depression and Alzheimer's (New
Developments 9:4.)
James' latest investigation has additional new implications for those with
autism spectrum disorders: a severe deficiency in glutathione means poor
ability to detoxify environmental toxins, particularly mercury. At last we
can explain why some youngsters are more susceptible to neurological
damage from the mercury-containing preservative, thimerosal and other
poisons.
