Christopher's Crusade: Local Clinic Takes Fresh Approach to Autism 		   
Summary Statement:

After researching autism treatment programs all across the country, Lyn Manos found one right in her own backyard. The LaValle Metabolic Institute (LMI) is one of the only clinics in Cincinnati to offer an intense nutritional approach to anyone on the autism spectrum, from mild to severe, led by Dr. Maureen Pelletier. It is the same program actress Jenny McCarthy has been vocal about after she put her autistic son on the program.

"The program Christopher is enrolled in is based on the premise that nutrition, intestinal disorders, detoxification and other metabolic issues impact behavior, attention, speech and the general health of children with autism," says Jim LaValle, founder of LMI. "It includes a very strict diet regimen that virtually eliminates anything with gluten and dairy from Christopher's meals." LaValle says since the diet is so restrictive it is also necessary to add back certain vitamins and minerals through supplementation.
