Autism and Dysbiosis

AUTISM and DYSBIOSIS
What is Dysbiosis?
Dysbiosis is a condition in which there are significant alterations in
the normal bacterial, viral and yeast populations in the intestines.
The nature of the dysbiosis and the degree of severity varies from one
child to another; however in the context of Autistic Spectrum Disorder
we are mainly interested in the population of so-called Anaerobic
bacteria - these include:
Bacteroides and Clostridium as well as yeasts such as Candida.
These organisms produce waste chemicals - called Peptides - which are
absorbed through the intestinal wall and into the blood stream. From
here they are carried throughout the body, but it is their effect on
the functioning of the brain which is of most concern to physicians
treating children with ASD.
The main 'offenders' are two peptides, Casomorphin and Gluteomorphin.
As their name suggests ( - 'morphin' - like morphine ) these peptides
have an effect on brain performance which is similar to that of
morphine; itself a derivative of Opium. These peptides are produced
by the bacteria from incompletely-digested casein and gluten [ which
are contained in milk and wheat products respectively ] If a child is
intolerant of casein and/ or gluten then the levels of Casomorphin and
Gluteomorphin in the blood and tissues can be extremely high - high
enough to cause an area of the brain known as the Amygdaloid body to
stop functioning. This shut-down affects important nerve pathways in
the brain; nerve pathways which control learning and communication.
80% of children with ASD have abnormal bowel action - either
constipation or loose, foul-smelling stools. Most of these children
have some degree of dysbiosis and it is very important to detect and
correct this, so that they can benefit fully from the therapy we
offer.
Well over 100 different types of bacteria, viruses and yeasts colonise
the bowel of all people. Why then don't we all have problems?
Think of the inside of the bowel as a battlefield - 100+ different
armies of soldiers all determined to dominate. Of course this is
impossible - there are just too many people to fight and conquer in
order to take control. No one army can dominate all of the others -
unless something happens to favour one or other army over the rest.
There are many factors which can alter the balance of power in the
intestine - genetic factors, dietary factors, an individual's immune
system and most commonly, antibiotics.
Antibiotics are a two-edged sword - they help kill serious infection,
but there is a price to pay - they also kill off 'good' bacteria which
we rely on to provide us with vitamins, minerals and other nutrients.
Go back to the battlefield - imagine that something happened to kill
off all but a few armies - those that are left would have little
opposition and could quickly grow into a significant force.
Most so-called 'Broad-spectrum' antibiotics (such as Amoxycillin -
possibly the most commonly prescribed of all antibiotics) kill off
almost all so-called 'Gram positive' bacteria and many 'Gram negative'
ones too - but not all. In fact the whole Clostridium family survive
most antibiotics - these are the survivors and they have little
opposition as there are few other bacteria to compete with them.
To illustrate how harmful these toxins can be -
If the toxins of Bacteroides get into the tissues of our skin or
muscles they cause abscesses to form which can only be treated by
surgical incision and drainage - antibiotics alone will not treat the
infection.
If the toxins of Clostridrium Welchii get into our skin or muscles
they cause gas gangrene - amputation is often the only cure. This was
almost always why sailors had to have limbs amputated after sword or
pistol injuries in the days of Horatio Nelson - right through to World
War I and wounds received in trenches.
Clostridium Botulinum causes Botulism; Clostridium Tetani causes
Tetanus - often a fatal infection which is resistant to antibiotics.
Clostridium Difficile produces a toxin which causes a condition called
'Pseudomembranous colitis' in which the lining of the bowel is
stripped off in sheets of tissues exposing the next layer (the muscle
layer) to the direct effect of stomach acid. The acid digests the
layers of the bowel exactly as it digests food - no wonder sufferers
of Irritable Bowel Syndrome and the Leaky Gut Syndrome experience
abdominal pain! Please also note that there are other bacteria which
can cause he production of peptides, but C.Difficile, Bacteroides and
Candida are the main offenders.
So - what can be done to get rid of these harmful bacteria?
Think of the battlefield scenario again - imagine that all of the
'armies' could be wiped out at once - you would then have a completely
clear field, and could then populate the land with 'good' people who
would benefit society (...and they all lived happily ever after...!)
It's not quite that easy when you try to do this to the bowel, but
it's not impossible either and we can achieve almost 100% clearance of
bacteria.
We use a 'weed and sow' technique - exactly as a gardener would get
rid of weeds in the lawn.
We 'weed' out the harmful bacteria with particular medicines that kill
only those 'germs' and then we 'sow' the empty plot of land with good
bacteria - pro-biotics.
This can often cause a tremendous progress to occur where previously
progress was poor or slow.
How do I find out if this treatment will help my child?
The first thing to do is to have a sample of stool analysed. This
will tell us whether there is an overgrowth of either Clostridia,
Bacteroides and/or Candida (yeast) - any of which could be responsible
for delayed neurodevelopment.
Please note: Some children may already have had a stool analysis
carried out, and you may have been told that it was 'normal' - the
bacteria discussed above are not usually detectable on 'routine' stool
analysis, and therefore when requesting these bacteria be screened for
it is important that they be specified by name; otherwise they can be
'missed', yet could actually be there in the bowel !.
We can make arrangements for the stool analysis, and on receipt of the
report can then tailor a course of treatment for your child to restore
the normal balance of bacteria and yeast.
Digestive enzymes
Once the normal bacterial and yeast balance in the intestine has been
restored most children experience a normalisation of bowel function
and a general improvement in awareness, concentration and
communication.
Many children are however left with some impairment in their ability
to completely digest certain proteins, as well as some starches and
fats. Over the course of time the intestine will heal itself; in the
meantime we have found that almost all children show significant
improvement with the addition of digestive enzymes to their therapy.
There are two types of digestive enzyme preparation - one concerned
with protein breakdown and the other with the breakdown of fats and
starches. In our experience children given both types show
significantly superior improvement in all areas of development. We
currently recommend that both types of enzyme preparation are added to
therapy once dysbiosis treatment has been completed.
For the small percentage of children who have no dysbiosis, the
addition of digestive enzymes can nevertheless greatly improve their
progress and help maintain normal, regular bowel function.

Autism
What's the evidence for special diets and supplements?
There hasn't been much good research on changing what your child eats or
giving him or her supplements to treat autism.
We found one summary of the research (a systematic review) of diets that cut
out casein and gluten. The review found just two small studies. The studies
showed the diets seemed to help with some symptoms of autism, but not
others. The review's authors said there was not enough good-quality evidence
to say whether or not the diets work.
We found two good-quality studies on vitamin B6 plus magnesium. It didn't
seem to help. But the studies were small. Together, they had only 27
children. So the results aren't reliable.
We didn't find any good-quality studies of fish oil, vitamin A, vitamin C,
probiotics and digestive enzymes as treatments for children with autism.

Quotes
In a study last year, we found that about 40 percent of the children that we
looked at (out of a total of perhaps 120) showed marked improvement,
particularly in the younger age group. In most of the ones that resolve, the
children go from not having any speech or eye contact to complete dialogue
with good eye contact. It's the two, three, and four year olds that resolve
most quickly. Within about six to eight months time, they get to a point
where you can't tell that they were ever autistic. It's amazing. The parents
come into our office in tears; they'll fly across the country just to show
the children to us. Balancing Biochemistry: An Interview with Stephanie Cave
We believe what helped Evan recover was starting a gluten-free, casein-free
diet, vitamin supplementation, detox of metals, and anti-fungals for yeast
overgrowth that plagued his intestines. Once Evan's neurological function
was recovered through these medical treatments, speech therapy and applied
behavior analysis helped him quickly learn the skills he could not learn
while he was frozen in autism. After we implemented these therapies for one
year, the state re-evaluated Evan for further services. They spent five
minutes with Evan and said, "What happened? We've never seen a recovery like
this."
Evan is now 5 years old and what might surprise a lot of you is that
we've never been contacted by a single member of the CDC, the American
Academy of Pediatrics, or any other health authority to evaluate and
understand how Evan recovered from autism. When Evan meets doctors and
neurologists, to this day they tell us he was misdiagnosed -- that he never
had autism to begin with. It's as if they are wired to believe that children
can't recover from autism.
So where's the cavalry? Where are all the doctors beating down our door
to take a closer look at Evan? We think we know why they haven't arrived.
Most of the parents we've met who have recovered their child from autism as
we did (and we have met many) blame vaccines for their child's autism. Jenny
McCarthy: My son's recovery from autism
Presently my colleague and I are treating over 1500 children with this
problem (autism). In the past five years we have seen an incredible number
of children recover from this devastating illness and take their places
beside their schoolmates and siblings. .....We test all developmentally
delayed children for the presence of heavy metals. Hair is screened followed
by a determination in urine after a challenge of an oral chelator, DMSA (2,3
Dimercaptosuccinic). It is rare that we find any child with a developmental
problem who does not have increased levels of mercury in the urine after a
chelator challenge. An interesting phenomenon is that we are finding many
more lead intoxicated children than blood screen would indicate. Lead
amplifies the toxicity of ethyl mercury in the brain. .....The abnormal
findings that we see in autism involving the immune system, GI tract, and
central nervous system are also seen in mercury poisoning. These include,
but are not limited to changes in T lymphocytes, low levels of glutathione,
low sulfate levels, IgA deficiency, and the presence of myelin basic protein
antibodies in brain. The children are responding well to the use of oral
chelators and supplements, which take out heavy metals. We are measuring
levels in urine as we treat. The changes in the children are remarkable with
each dose of a chelator. This treatment may take months to complete, but the
chance for recovery is evident on a daily basis. Because mercury has such
far-reaching effects in the destruction of function in many systems of the
body, our treatment also involves nutritional repletion of cellular
chemistry, normalization of gastrointestinal bacterial balance, dietary
programs, and restoration of liver detoxification systems.
Our medical training did not adequately prepare us for this challenge.
We learned little about testing for heavy metals and even less about
treating. The word chelation is not in the vocabulary of most physicians.
The few physicians who are treating these children are inundated with them
in their practices. The good news is that they are responding well to the
chelation treatment. The changes in neurological functioning are remarkable
with each day of treatment. [2002] AUTISM AND IMMUNIZATIONS by Stephanie F.
Cave, M.S., M.D., F.A.A.F.P.
"So we are going back to look at prenatal sources, dietary sources, through
fish, and amalgam fillings in the mother's mouth," said Cave. "Mercury
poisoning and autism have nearly identical symptoms: self-injurious
behavior, social withdrawal, lack of eye contact, lack of facial expression,
hypersensitivity to noise and touch, and repetitive behaviors." Cave's
treatment program for autistic children includes a rigorous history and
physical evaluation of the family and the child; routine blood and thyroid
work; quantitative immunoglogulin and cellular studies; hair analysis to
screen for toxic metals; digestive stool analysis; food allergy studies;
amino acid, vitamin, mineral, and unsaturated fatty acids assessments at the
cellular level; urine morphine peptides and urine organic acids tests; and
autoimmune antibody studies.[2001] Vaccine Conference Exclusive Report By
Lisa Reagan
DMSA binds to the mercury and removes it from the body. It is approved by
the FDA for lead detoxification. As it circulates through the body, metals
attach to it and are then excreted in the urine. It pulls out mercury,
aluminum, antimony, and arsenic. My colleague Amy Holmes did a study that
showed that autistic babies had very little mercury in their hair, ten times
less than normal children. This was at a time when we knew that the exposure
was very high because of the vaccines that were given. A lot of people who
were looking for high mercury in the hair of the autistic children didn't
find it and thought that the theory was wrong--they assumed that mercury in
the hair meant that there was mercury in the body. But in fact the mercury
was being retained. We know it is there when we treat because we can measure
the amounts excreted in the urine. Balancing Biochemistry: An Interview with

Wonderful!! In this instance, please refer to Scopie's Law, which states
that:
"In any discussion involving science or medicine, citing
Whale.to as a credible source loses the argument immediately, and gets
you laughed out of the room." First formulated by Rich Scopie on the
badscience.net forum.
This law makes little sense without a background knowledge of
Whale.to, a conspiracy theory site which includes such items as the
complete text of the anti-Semitic hoax Protocols of the Elders of
Zion, as well as claims that Aids is caused by vaccination programmes,
and that Auschwitz never happened.
It has been expanded by posters on rationalwiki.com to include any use
of Answers in Genesis in an argument about creationism and evolution.

Stephen Wilson
Thanks for the laugh! At least you're more amusing than pautrey. Even you
have to admit - it's rather daft trying to use whale.to itself in any
argument against Scopie's law.
For anyone who hasn't bothered visiting whale.to (for which I wouldn't blame
you at all), here's just a few of the wonderful things you can find there:
1.. Cloudbusters and black lines
2.. 6 TBs in a circle (Healing Black lines)
3.. Ghostly resident in Crieff shop
4.. Noxious earth energies and their influence on human beings
5.. Mind control hardware (Did you know that CPR equipment is part of the
plot?)
6.. The vaccination hoax and Holocaust
7.. Genocide via vaccination
8.. Holy Hand Grenade (not of Antioch, I hasten to add).
9.. Crystal & water charging
10.. Cell phone/GSM/PCS (aka DEATH TOWERS), TETRA, HAARP, GWEN, & Power
lines
11.. Asian tsunami was nuke
12.. Medical (Allopathic) Mind Control
13.. Mammography Hoax
14.. Atheism, Forbidden Archeology & The Darwinian Evolution Hoax
All good stuff!

Scopie is just one of millions who know how genuine the information at
whale.to is, i.e. not at all.

What's the point in arguing against something that's never been proven? It's
like arguing against someone who claims the sun goes around the earth. Easy
to do, but pointless. The person who believes the sun goes around the earth
will continue doing so no matter how much evidence there is to the contrary.
Good nutrition is common sense, autistic or not. Chelation should only be
carried out when someone has genuine toxic metal poisoning. It can be
hazardous. More than 30 deaths have been recorded in relation to chelation
therapy. A 5 year old autistic boy was killed in 2005. An adult was killed
in 2003. A 3 year old girl was killed in 2005. All due to cardiac arrest
thanks to hypocacemia during chelation therapy. I can point you to dozens of
studies, and they all have the same conclusion: that there is no scientific
support for chelation therapy as a treatment for autism.
Homeopathic treatement - do it if it makes you feel better. Most of it's
fairly harmless. Just avoid the stuff that costs more than you can afford,
and anything that does more harm than good.
By the way, I note that you've mentioned no research that backs up any of
your claims, other than your constant reference to whale.to.

<pharma drivel deleted>
autism mostly caused by Allopathy
which is why it hates chelation, as it exposes that fact
Stephen Wilson
You're like a dog that won't let go of a bone. Pharma drivel indeed!
Some people are desperate to find some cause when things aren't right.
They're also desperate to believe there is something they can actively do
that will make things better.
I'm all for taking an holistic approach to diseases. But you clearly have no
idea what autism is. Here are some facts for you. If you have proof to the
contrary, perhaps you could provide it. As stated previously, whale.to does
not count.
Autism is a neural development disorder. It's not caused by vaccinations, or
by mercury poisoning (both of which are biologically implausible and lack
any kind of scientific credibility). It's mostly caused by a combination of
genetic variants (defects, mutations, call them what you will). It cannot
(currently) be cured - not with drugs, not with homeopathy, not with prayer,
and not by magic.
All you can do is alleviate certain symptoms, some of which may be related
to the autism itself, others of which may be completely coincidental.
Go down the alternative or complementary route if you so wish. Just be aware
that virtually anyone can get a license to practice this (one man even
successfully registered his dog). Generally has no effects more beneficial
than a placebo, but makes lots of money for the people who practice it and
for those who peddle the many supplements.

No, by chelation and nutritional med in some instances
http://www.whale.to/vaccine/damage.html
and it is caused by vaccination, see
http://www.whale.to/vaccine/vaccine_autism_proven.html
eg mercury http://www.whale.to/vaccines/thimerosal.htm
But you pharma morons can't see that as it would bust your pathetic drug
religion.
"I think that the biological case against Thimerosal is so dramatically
overwhelming anymore that only a very foolish or a very dishonest person
with the credentials to understand this research would say that Thimerosal
wasn�t most likely the cause of autism".---Interview of Dr. Boyd E. Haley by
Teri Small:
I think you qualify under 'foolish', being generous.

As I've already explained to you, nothing on whale.to counts. You've got
nothing else, have you? I have. Try, for example:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17168158
Immunizations and autism: a review of the literature. Here's a summary:
"Because of a temporal correlation between the first notable signs and
symptoms of autism and the routine childhood vaccination schedule, many
parents have become increasingly concerned regarding the possible etiologic
role vaccines may play in the development of autism. In particular, some
have suggested an association between the Measles-Mumps-Rubella vaccine and
autism. Our literature review found very few studies supporting this theory,
with the overwhelming majority showing no causal association between the
Measles-Mumps-Rubella vaccine and autism. The vaccine preservative
thimerosal has alternatively been hypothesized to have a possible causal
role in autism. Again, no convincing evidence was found to support this
claim, nor for the use of chelation therapy in autism. With decreasing
uptake of immunizations in children and the inevitable occurrence of measles
outbreaks, it is important that clinicians be aware of the literature
concerning vaccinations and autism so that they may have informed
discussions with parents and caregivers."

Where have I even mentioned drugs? I don't take any myself, but I would if I
thought they would improve my quality of life. I would if I felt I had any
symptoms that needed controlling.
4 legs good, 2 legs bad.
Herbs good, drugs bad
There is none so blind as he who will not see. An American couple had a
daughter who fell ill. They knew drugs were no good for her. They were both
Bible believers. They knew that the only person who could help her was God.
So they prayed. She didn't get better. So they prayed some more. Eventually,
she lost consciousness. So they brought in more people to help pray for her.
And then she died. Aged 11 years old. If they'd trusted a doctor, they would
have found out she had diabetes. She could have been treated and lived a
long and healthy life. But they knew better.
You carry on believing whatever you want to. Just so long as you harm no-one
but yourself.
I'm done with this "discussion". You're too brainwashed to think for
yourself, and nothing I say will kick-start any intelligence in there.
