The October 2009 issue of the journal Pediatrics published updated data pertaining to the incidence of Autism in US children, stating "Numerous studies have suggested that the prevalence of diagnosed Autism spectrum disorders in the US has increased dramatically in the past decades". Studies in the early 2000's found 1 in 166 US children to have autism, by 2008 it was estimated at 1 in every 151 children. This 2009 published study estimated the incidence of autism to be 1 in every 91 US children, noting the "prevalence is higher then previous US estimates".

OMEGA 3 & FISH OILS
Speeds Recovery from Sepsis
I sometimes feel that if I see one more article about fish oil in the chiropractic literature I'll go blind. But in the February 13, 2010 issue of Science News there is an interesting article describing two studies in which critically ill persons were given Omega-3 while recovering from sepsis. Although an equal number of people died in both the Omega-3 and control groups, the hospital stay was 28 days for the fish oil group and 82 days for the controls. The theory offered was that the oils decreased the inflammation and allowed better oxygen processing by patients.
