How it is associated with the causes of autism is as yet unclear.

Hehe, "we may be onto something here, but we are not yet sure how to associate it with autism".

Replace "autism" with any condition, and you have the universal scientist sentence to the media.

Very interesting. I wonder if mammoth is an excellent source of carnitine. Ooh ga ooh ga!

skip the red meat -- I'm spiking my tea with Acetyl L-Carnitine. It does seem to help with my energy levels

If you have the money the more the merrier.

Take at least 3 500mg divided doses/daily with food. That's 1500 a day. It boosts cognition across the board - young and healthy - to the infirmed.

You won't be disappointed.

Up to 3grams/daily, btw.

You will have my undivided attention.

it's not so expensive:

100 grams is $9.75 plus shipping. In my case, shipping isn't an issue since I'm ordering anyway.
