- Vitamin B12 Deficiency Causes Vision Loss in Autistic Children with Severely Limited Diets, Children's Hospital Study Finds
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Autistic children with severely limited diets may be at risk for vision loss due to vitamin B12 deficiency, according to new research from The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Doctors should consider this deficiency when evaluating and treating children with autism and vision loss, the authors said. The Children's Hospital study, which appears in the journal Pediatrics, looked at three boys with autism who exhibited behaviors that indicated vision loss, such as groping for items or bumping into walls. Further evaluation and tests revealed optic nerve damage and low levels of B12. The researchers administered a shot of intramuscular vitamin B12 and visual behavior improved modestly in each case after normal levels were reached. All thr...

There's yet another silent killer out there, according to authors Sally M. Pacholok and Jeffrey J. Stuart, who make their case in the new "Could It Be B12? An Epidemic of Misdiagnoses" (Quill Driver Books, $12.95). A vitamin B12 deficiency, the authors argue, can cause serious health problems, particularly in adults over 40. Their book includes several case histories of patients whose B12 deficiencies mimicked a variety of other illnesses and conditions, including Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis and diabetic neuropathy.

- Alzheimer's Diagnosis Is Critical
Although an estimated 4.5 million Americans have Alzheimer's disease -- a number expected to triple as baby boomers age -- it's not an inevitable part of growing old. And early diagnosis and treatment are essential. For one thing, not all dementia is caused by Alzheimer's. And some of the other causes -- such as thyroid disease or a vitamin B12 deficiency -- can be treated and the symptoms relieved or reversed, according to Dr. Cherie Brunker, acting chief of geriatrics at LDS Hospital, who is also board certified in palliative care.
