Unfortunatly I have some of the same concerns as Jack (9/23/09 @ 2:11pm) It seems as though we try every new product that comes out, just to find out that we wasted alot of money and alot of valuable time. all too often it SEEMS that the money is more important than actually finding the cause/cure. I am hopeing this product will be different, but as the saying goes “hope for the best, and prepare for the worst”

66 mil. that’s a lot of bread I’ll bet the 30 mil. came from James Simons. I do’nt get too excited when I hear about these so called break throughs. It’ all about research for research sake I am afraid,but I will keep my fingers crossed. I have little guy on the spectrum seven years old. How about investigating the scam artists who take people’s hard earned money for chelation therapy and hyperbaric therapy. It should be outlawed. Chelation therapy is’nt for Autism treatment and is a dangerous thing to play around with, the same goes for hyperbaric chambers.
