Autism is much talked about and effects 1 in every 45 children. There is a broad spectrum of symptoms and types of autism and it has grown due to this. There are a lot of theories about what causes it.
But is it something that can be addressed with diet that WILL make a difference.

I’ve talked to people who wind up looking for a cheaper variation of a supplement as they feel that the one, they read about was too expensive. It makes sense to the person to take that supplement, but they felt it cost too much. Is this a smart thing to do?

Some people have asked about the vitamin B6 they are taking as a result of using the Nerve Support Formula. This question is one that people ask about any B6 in any formula.
The Linus Pauling Institute found that adverse effects have only been documented from vitamin B6 supplements and never from food sources.
Therefore, safety concerning only the supplemental form of vitamin B6 (pyridoxine, also called pyridoxine hydrochloride) is discussed here.
Although vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin and is excreted in the urine, long-term supplementation with very high doses of pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) may result in painful neurological symptoms known as sensory neuropathy.
Symptoms include pain and numbness of the extremities and in severe cases, difficulty walking. Sensory neuropathy typically develops at doses of pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) in excess of 1,000 mg a day.
However, there have been a few case reports of individuals who developed sensory neuropathies at doses of less than 500 mg of Vitamin B6 daily over a period of months.
None of the studies in which a neurological examination was performed reported evidence of sensory nerve damage at intakes below 200 mg of pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) daily.
To prevent sensory neuropathy in virtually all individuals, the Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine set the tolerable upper intake level for pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) at 100 mg/day for adults.
Please let me know if this answers any questions you might have had on this subject.
I’ve talked to many people who are told by their medical doctor that they found high levels of B12 in their blood test. They are thus reluctant to take a any B vitamin formula designed to help build healthy nerves as it has B12 in it. But, what does this actually mean?
What other symptoms do you have?
What if it is a B12 Deficiency? How is that possible?

In Europe, it’s illegal to use chemicals such as chlorine and bromine to bleach flour. In the US, it’s standard.
If you eat anything made from white flour in the US, including baked goods from grocery stores, restaurants and bakeries, you can assume the flour is chemically bleached.It’s another highly processed food, and here’s why it matters to your health.

“We need to shift focus from treating disease to generating health” – Hippocrates (AMA “The Father of Medicine”)
As per the above quote, generating health is the way to go. It is smart to not let your body degenerate to the point where you have to have a medical doctor intervene with drugs and surgery. You create health by addressing the body’s needs and improving health where you are more able to live life.
I’ve done a lot of looking, and found this incredible product that meets the needs of many problems with the ingredients it contains.

Hi, my name is Chris. Let me tell you about this website.
I was concerned with the amount of degenerative diseases and other illnesses that occur due to nutritional deficiencies caused by faulty diet, and toxins in the environment such as drugs. Thus www.mcvitamins.com was created in 1999.
Education is the best tool to getting healthy and maintaining that health. Understanding how the body works, what it needs to survive well and what to do naturally when it gets sick is valuable.
Learning these things is sometimes difficult due to the way that a lot of scientific papers and journals are written. They have their own language and unless you understand that language you have difficulty learning, if you can understand it at all.
Thus, I strive to write easily understood articles about health.
I also find that people would like to take natural remedies and not rely on drugs, but don’t know how to do this or what to do. Thus, the site also educates on what natural remedies to take.
I knew remedies that worked when the website was started and what to take to keep healthy. But, I then started researching different products.
As an example, in 2006, I found a workable remedy for nerve damage (neuropathy). I was particularly interested in this problem as people are given strong drugs (pain killers, anti-depressants and anticonvulsant) none of which are healthy as they cause nutritional deficiencies and are not all that workable. It only attempts to cover up the symptoms and does nothing to build health.
This product was the first on the market (2004) and for 11 years I’ve seen so many people relieved by giving the body what it needs to build healthy nerves. This product has since been followed by copycats and other opinions on what to do for this problem. However, I still promote this same product because this one works and it follows the science of what is needed by the nerves to be healthy.
This is only one example. I disagree with taking drugs as it only manages disease but doesn’t build health. I believe that if you build health, disease tends to fade away.
Thus, McVitamins.com continually researches information and nutritional solutions to help the individual to build health.
McVitamins.com now has suggested products that can be ordered through this site, and links to other sites where you can order.
Recommended products not only fit the criteria of handling the deficiencies the nutritional supplements were meant to handle, but has been researched and found to produce good results.
We do want to hear from you. We’re interested in what you have to say? What you like about our site, or what you don’t like. What other topics would interest you, or anything at all. We’d also like to hear any of your successes.

Sorbitol (a form of sugar) travels to certain parts of the body where it builds up. These parts of the body are:
– the lens of the eye where it forms a white milky film called cataracts and
– the sciatic nerve (the big nerve that runs down your leg) where it can cause nerve damage (nerve pain).
Evidence indicates that taking 2,000 mg a day of vitamin C may reduce the production of sorbitol and help strip sorbitol out of the body.
Most of the vitamin C sold in the US is ascorbic acid by itself, a whole food or food based Vitamin C is what is needed.
