Having trouble with these links - not sure why it's putting those dots in . . . . it's not there when I type it, just when I submit it (should say "vitamin" in the first link and "autism" in the second link.

Mary Beth,
Thanks for the links. The reason for the shortened links, is that I got tired of having to scroll sideways, every time someone posted a long link, (it would expand the width of the topic box to whatever width was necessary, in order to get it all into the window, and it would expand every post window in the thread), so I added a code modification, so that the system now automatically shortens the links, (properly, of course), so that all links fit into a normal-sized window.
In the first link, there was a zero missing, in the date that appears in the link, ( it showed 209, rather than 2009). I'm not sure what the problem was with the second link, (I couldn't see anything wrong with it, but when I did a search for the article, on the Chicago Tribune page that was connected with the link, I found the article, but it had a different reference address, "nationworld/la-na-autism5-2009oct05,0,4703828.story", rather than "ch-tc-nw-autism-tribuneoct05,0,530867.story".
Anyway, I substituted this URL, for the one in your post, and it seems to work OK, (assuming that this is the correct article that you were referencing).
Regarding the first article, if only 700 to a 1,000 IU of vitamin D can help that much, imagine what maintaining a proper level of vitamin D in the body could do.
Regarding the second article, if the medical community doesn't get it's "official" act together pretty soon, autism may eventually become the "norm", and what's considered to be normal now, may become a rarity. It's absolutely pathetic how they refuse to recognize that D3 is the root of the problem, and mercury in vaccines may be providing the coup de grâce.
Thanks,
Tex

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
Well, as far out of touch with reality as they seem to be, they've definitely got their work cut out. It's difficult to comprehend how people who are supposed to be learned scientists, can adhere to such backward ideas, and be so resistant to accepting the truth. Evidently, a medical degree confers hard-headedness, above all else.Mary Beth wrote:And let's not forget that the vast majority of ASD kids have food sensitivities, including gluten and dairy - when is the medical community going to embrace that????
