Michala Riggle of Kentucky may only be 12, but she has raised awareness for an alternative treatment that has helped her little brother's autism. Along with awareness of glutathione, she has raised funds - nearly $300,000 - making beaded bracelets and getting donations. Kosair Children's Hospital is now studying the use of glutathione - "a tri-peptide of amino acids that help detoxify our body." The study uses glutathione for some children and a placebo for others. One mother, who does not know whether her child is on the glutathione or a placebo says that her child is no longer in a stroller, but walking and holding her hand.
