More from Day 2 of the ARI Conference in Atlanta

Children with autism have lower glutathione levels, higher markers of protein damage and higher levels of oxidative stress as shown in research by Jill James.

MeB12 & folinic acid moved behavior (communication, socialization and daily living skills) toward normal and raised glutathione levels over 3 mths (James et al)

Epigenetics (genes are the hard drive and epigenetics are the software that dictates how information is read) are altered by diet, environment and stress. It is the way the genome adapts to environmental change.

Mom"s genetic profile and imbalances affect fetus and can alter metabolism prenatally. In utero environmental factors affect fetal development. If mother carries genetic risk, then this increases the risk of problems in child.

Maternal methylation abnormalities include low folate, methionine, and SAM
