What Does Leucovorin Really Do for Children with Autism?

About this episode

Dr. Purser discusses the role of Leucovorin and environmental factors in autism among children.

Dr. Purser explains how certain environmental chemicals can trigger major inflammatory events in infants and young children—events that may contribute to autism in some cases. Leucovorin is simply high-dose folinic acid, a natural form of folate. While it may help some children and has even been promoted as a “cure,” it’s only one piece of the puzzle. True protection comes from supporting the body’s entire defense system—reducing toxins, calming inflammation, and strengthening resilience during those critical early years.
