Yes, they are going to look at the new Secretin therapy.  It may
not be entirely off-topic, though.  This therapy involves trying
to re-activate a particular digestive enzyme, the lack of which
is believed to cause autism or some of its symptoms.  Although it
is unknown whether autism is one of those diseases of
civilization that might be prevented by a more natural diet, a
fair case can be made that it is.
