Folate receptor antibodies and cerebral folate deficiency

[aquariusgirl]

Hi
has anyone run across Dan Rossignol's work on folate receptor antibodies in autistic kids?

Rossignol is a DAN! doc based in Melbourne, FLa.

I can't find his paper just now...if it's a published paper. He presented at autism one this past week ,but that site is down right now.

Will post when I find.
Here's a link to his site. Unsee it there unless mistaken.

Thanks

Is this what you're after?

The site is working Ok for me...hopefully you too by now?

I wasn't able to use either of the above links, but I did google "folate receptor antibodies."

Regardless of the etiology of CFS, there is certainly a strong autoimmune component.

When I had such a pronounced (beneficial) reaction to a "diluted speck" of methylfolate and mB12, I did wonder if it were working more as an inocculation - shifting the immune system - rather than direct replacement of deficient levels of these chemicals.

I can see why Nancy Klimas is so interested in the immunology of CFS.
