Low Bone Density in Autism and Brain Calcification (Bone-Vascular Axis + Altered Calcium Homeostasis), – a role for Vitamin K2, or something more potent?
Today’s post with a long tittle is a spin-off from looking at the health benefits of the Mediterranean Diet. This often quoted diet really does make you live longer and healthier; scientists are again trying to understand exactly why. This sent me looking at various things, one of which was vitamin k, which is abundant in the Mediterranean diet. It turns out that another healthy diet, one found in Japan, may have incorporated an even better source of this vitamin, since it is high in vitamin K2 rather than K1. I thought this post would just end up being about general health, rather than autism specifically, but as I did more digging it seems highly credible that some people’s autism could be improved simply by adjusting their calcium homeostasis. This will not come as a surprise to one of our readers who discovered that giving oral calcium supplements to her son with Asperger’s triggered a major regression towards Classic autism. Fortunately it was reversed by stopping...
