So I'll tell you what they revealed, and that's also sort of what got us involved in the neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative conditions study of them clinically.
J
34:46Jed FaheyGUEST
We didn't know... a lot about or we weren't thinking a lot about the modes of action that you just sort of went through of sulforaphane at the time, but we were talking to a friend neurologist, pediatric neurologist at the Mass General, Andy Zimmerman, and he made the observation.
J
35:10Jed FaheyGUEST
He came to Paul and me and said, You know, there's a study that shows that in vitro, I believe it was, that shows that sulforaphane has an effect on heat shock proteins.
J
35:28Jed FaheyGUEST
And he said, and I and my group recently discovered or made an association between autism and the fever response or the febrile response in kids with autism.
J
35:44Jed FaheyGUEST
And the observation, which is confirmed by others who treat autism, is that when certain kids have fevers, kids with autism, severe autism, this wide array of symptoms in many cases, their symptoms are dramatically attenuated.
J
36:03Jed FaheyGUEST
In fact, there's an anecdote from a family, a child with autism, that the whole family came down with the flu.
