Leucovorin for Cerebral Folate Deficiency in Autism
While there is no cure for autism, there are new therapies that hold promise for treating some of the more pervasive symptoms.
Lee Silsby is excited to partner with leading specialists in the field— providing high-quality products for innovative studies that help make patients’ lives better.
One recent set of studies was conducted by Dr. Richard Frye, a child neurologist and leading autism researcher, after research suggested a link between cerebral folate deficiency and autism.
With 75% of autism patients displaying this deficiency, Dr. Frye and his team wanted to see if treatment with a folic acid compound known as Leucovorin would benefit these children.
The results were positive—dramatic, in fact.

As primary care physicians, you are a critical part of the care team for these patients—and with up-to-date treatments such as Leucovorin, you can help make a difference in the lives of these children and their families.
