I'm curious about > Some disabilities can be helped with aggressive nutritional support. What do you mean? Any examples you could give?

  This is from memory, off the top of my head. I am not going to try to come up with citations. When I did a high school paper on functional hypoglycemia in the 1980s, at that time, the only known effective treatment was high dose vitamin therapy and a modified diet. Studies suggest that children with issues like ADHD benefit more from certain supplements than from standard drug therapies. Years ago when my now 31 year old son was 8, I found a vitamin therapy protocol on the internet for Aspie kids. He has never been formally diagnosed, but he reads as very Aspie. It was some B vitamins, magnesium and one other thing, I can't recall what the last item was. After a few months on it, his severe handwriting issues improved and he began comprehending social things better. To this day, when he makes me too crazy about certain things, the solution is to get more B vitamins into him -- though we no longer use supplements and the solution these days is beef. He gets a steak for dinner when he is making me apoplectic. Magnesium helps with noise sensitivity. I frequently run fevers. Afterwards, I am often noise sensitive. At that point, I eat dark chocolate and cashews for their magnesium content. Firsthand personal experience suggests that many neurological issues can be ameliorated with sufficient B vitamins, good quality salt and the right fats, including cholesterol, found in foods like eggs and bacon.
