Interesting news on intestinal flora and autism

skn69Member

Hi Guys,
I have just been watching a documentary regarding intestinal flora...they are saying (and proving) that the development of the intestinal flora in the first 3 yrs of a child's life is decisive in their mental development and when the intestinal environment is perturbed by antibiotics of other medications that alter that flora there is and overgrowth of clostridium (sp,) that is vectored through fatty acids to the brain and is considered, in certain studies, responsible for late onset autism.
They are speaking about children who had a normal development and then suddenly after a run of antibiotics or other drugs (vaccines?) suddenly regressed into unexplained autism (as if it is ever explained).
There is a speicalist on intestinal flora named Dr Syndey Finegold who has been reseaching the subject for 40+yrs and started the first tests on it...without going into too many details the bottom line is: Following the use of Antibiotics, there is a bacterial overgrowth followed by autism...the only treatment for this particular bacteria is Vancomycin which shows a spectacular regression of the autism while the child is on it but can only kill the living bacteria, not the spores that return after treatment...
They are also implications of a food conservater E280 that is used in fatty/sugary foods to conserve them is considered a high risk element and nourishes the particular bacteria...which creates Proprionic acid that is carried to the brain by fatty acids and enters the DNA!
One of the treatments???? VSL30!
They are now doing tests on groups of autistic children in Sweden, giving them VSl30, and removing progressively all milk products (casein), gluten and corn.
The studies believe that a lot of the 'uncurable diseases' are caused by the intestinal flora that we develop by the age of 3 and that many of them including certain genetic diseases (UC? Crohns?) can be CURED by modifying that flora...
They are working on stripping and then reintroducing a new intestinal flora in people who are showing signs of those diseases...
To be continue.

Thanks Sharon for posting this. Funny, Elaine Gottschall was trashed for her late in life work with autistic kids, and she swore some had benefited from the SCD diet, whose aim is to alter the flora of the gut. Dr Borody is following up on Dr Feingold's work and is using specific targeted probiotic therapy to treat this type of autism.
It's true, this is the future treatment of many diseases, MS, Parkinsons, IBD, perhaps autism and others. Hopefully the research will continue to gain momentum (it certainly has in the last few years).

Really neat idea. I found that interesting to learn, fake processed foods are definitely causing our bodies problems. Hopefully these probiotic dairy free diets help those kids out.

Andrea,
I saw it here in France on a private chanel but I can't seem to find it in the T.V. guide...if you type in to your search engine 'research, autism, intestinal flora, clostridiup,vancomycin... you might come up with it.
I was blown away but the case studies...I know of a lot of people who had perfectly healthy children who suddenly regressed and became autistic...and I have been screaming silently for years that it just is not normal...I have campaigned against antibiotic distribution for children here in France (they hand them out like candy at the first sneeze!)...a lot of the study was done in Toronto and Chicago and the last part in Sweden so you might try adding those names to you search.
I honestly believe that our gut flora is as important if not more so, as our brains and DNA and if we destroy it we are distroying our health.
They had a really cool laboratory that had created artificial digestive systems and were trying to find ways to alter our digestive circumstances to create healthier flora...but they are insisting that diet, and removing all of those nasty refined fooods, artificial preservatives and colorants as well as our favorite enemies gluten, casein, and corn (cornsyurp)....can help to rebalance our systems...
I love this kind of thing because I believe that it will bring hope to a lot of us who suffer from chronic pouchitis, IBS, and various other major bowel problems...
Pass it on

I was just watching a 'Natural News' article on fake foods, notably, fake blueberries in foods and how they substitue red dye & blue dye along with hydrogenated fats and liquid sugars for blueberries...this is the stuff that makes us sick...when we think that we are eating healthy, pay the price for healthier foods and realising later that it is all a scam and we are eating nothing but artificial stuff that is killing our guts...I am pasting in the link for anyone interested...
