In this live webinar, hosted by Autism Research Coalition, William Shaw, PhD & Sidney Baker, MD discussed their latest publication "Case Study: Rapid Complete Recovery From An Autism Spectrum Disorder After Treatment of Aspergillus With The Antifungal Drugs Itraconazole And Sporanox" (2020).
As noted in the publication, "Escalation of the dose of itraconazole resulted in a complete loss of all symptoms of Autism over the course of 3 months. This rapid complete reversal of Autism is consistent with several articles proposing mold in general and Aspergillus specifically as a potential major cause of Autism."

He received his undergraduate, medical, and medical postgraduate training from Yale University where he served as Chief Resident in Pediatrics on the full-time medical faculty. He is the author of multiple books and publications and was the 1999 recipient of the Linus Pauling Award of the Institute for Functional Medicine for his contributions to the development of Functional Medicine, to name a few achievements.
