Fever Benefits for Autism in a Food

Dramatic improvements in autistic children when they get a fever suggests that the disease may be reversible if one can replicate the phenomenon in other ways.

Thanks for watching. I hope you’ll join in the evidence-based nutrition revolution!

I'm autistic, and vegan. I can't thank you enough for this.

[Albopepper]

Wow! Mind is completely blown... Once again, food can save the day. Thanks so much Dr Greger!!!

I have noticed that in my son last weekend. He is 8 years old and his fever was around 38C. He was a lot more communicative, like someone lifted the invisible barrier. Funny that I see a video about that today.

My son is autistic so this was very helpful. Thank you!! More videos of ASD please.

Dr. Greger, you are one of my heroes. I am actively trying to be like you. Please keep up the good work! I can think of no educator doing as much good for the world as you are.

I love that food is the answer again! Good cliff hanger. I can't hardly wait for part II!

[aliciav]

You continue to amaze me Dr . Gregor 👍
and I can't get enough of the "until now"😍

[finnnation]

I concur. My boy was almost non verbal had a bad fever at about 5 years old. He became very communicative and quite 'normal' for the two days he had the fever.

[ConscientiousOmnivore]

Wow, simply incredible. It's awesome to see that studies like this are getting funded by people. This is encouraging and gives me hope that the future is not completely lost to big business. Can't wait to see the next part - keep 'em coming Dr. Greger!

Mind blown, thank you for these amazing videos- they’re extremely detailed and can’t imagine the time and research it takes.

[maryj]

I can't wait for the next video! This is groundbreaking!!!

[vanillahugz]

My son has autism and I was hoping for a study for a while now. I have noticed his symptoms fading, I know it sounded odd to others but I am seeing such progression I'm shocked. its the food, greens are life 🌱 Thanks for the video you made my day 💕

[jazminherrera]

I am beyond excited for this thank you Dr. this means a lot my son is autistic.. thank you for this video can you now tell us how much to get full benefits??

[PermaPen]

I have M.E. - I've often noted that I actually feel 'better' when I have a regular illness like mild flu. I put it down to M.E. currently looking like an auto-immune disease. Give my immune system a real job to do for a while. There are suggestions somewhere or other that autism is an auto-immune disease too.

[erickathomas]

Oh no! How can you make me wait for the rest of this? I eagerly await the results of the study.

[toothbrushpillow]

Absolutely love the time and detail you are spending on Autism. Thank you. If anyone can point me to part 2 of this video that would be awesome. Is it released??

[hakunamatata]

Hi! Can't wait for the rest of these episodes!
TOPIC SUGGESTION: Eating for liver health (specifically NAFLD - non alchoholic fatty liver disease). If the liver is compromised, how to eat? Low fat is a must, but what sweeteners are there that will not cause fat buildup in the liver? Gluten free? And how to contribute to adequate bile production? Is it possible to reverse NAFLD even when the cause of it is not lifestyle related? Is it even established that NAFLD is lifestyle related?
