Mitochondria
Mitochondria - Why They're Important and What They Need to Function
"Most conventional medical doctors are not trained to recognize mitochondrial dysfunction. Research supporting mitochondrial dysfunction as a clinical entity is vast and growing. However, as is often the case, much of this research is not incorporated into every day medical practice.
Several researchers have reported a connection between mitochondrial dysfunction and autism (2,3,4). In addition, mitochondrial dysfunction in Down syndrome has been well-established (5). Many biomedical clinicians have already come to accept that mitochondrial dysfunction is something to look for and treat in children with autism and other special needs. As well, many parents are seeing notable improvements in their children's health and development when mitochondria dysfunction is detected and addressed."
