Re: Re: Conference notes - GSH

October 5, 2004

A very small subgroup of kids responds adversely to compounds high in sulfur

(eg, rapid vomiting via DMSA,

sulfasalazine, etc). A few kids plunged into OCD behaviors after IV GSH. One

size does not fit all. Each autistic

child is unique. What works for one child may not work for another and may

produce adverse effects in yet another

child. Be careful, start with low doses, and (generally) change or add one (ie,

only one) therapeutic modality at a

time so that the new/changed therapy can be more clearly monitored.
