Scientists make Gut-Brain Connection to Autism and Harvard Professor validates Diet & Nutrition approach for Autism

by

Martha Herbert, assistant professor in neurology at Harvard Medical School, is a brilliant researcher and doctor.  The thing I love most about her is her heart and understanding of the interplay of the environment and health.  Recently, she was interviewed on CBC news in Ottawa on the gut-brain connection. This information further solidifies the efficacy of diet and nutritional intervention for autism. It is inevitable that “mainstream” sources begin to understand the broader holistic comprehension of the interconnectedness of mind & body, of gut & brain. Hopefully this will lead to greater acceptance and support of effective approaches not previously “understood” by many “traditional” clinicians.
