Evaluation, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Gastrointestinal Disorders in Individuals With ... - 0 views

  • The consensus expert opinion of the panel was that individuals with ASDs deserve the same thoroughness and standard of care in the diagnostic workup and treatment of gastrointestinal concerns as should occur for patients without ASDs. Care providers should be aware that problem behavior in patients with ASDs may be the primary or sole symptom of the underlying medical condition, including some gastrointestinal disorders

    ASD behavior problems may have underlying gastrointestinal disorders as the cause

Autism and Clostridium Tetani - 0 views

  •  
    Dysbiosis is commonly found in children with ASD. Antibiotics disrupt the normal gut microbiota resulting in dysbiosis. This imbalance in gut bacteria is now known to cause systemic inflammatory states such as metabolic endotoxemia. There is no reason to think a similar link may be present between Gut inflammation and ASD

    lengthy but extremely thorough explanation of excitotoxicity and Autism.  This is heavily referenced and should be read by all!  A good discussion on how immune stimulation in the developing brain contributes to ASD...hint: vaccines.

Vitamin D and autism: Clinical review. [Res Dev Disabil. 2012] - PubMed - NCBI - 1 views

  •  
    Vitamin D deficiency may play a role in autism.  Though this may seem logical, through NF-KappaB inhibition, the mode of protection may be more in pregnancy.  I believe that the in-utero environment is setting up our children for increased ASD rates.  Then add in the manner in which we treat our children as infants with massive vaccinations.

Colonic CD8 and gamma delta T-cell infiltration with epithelial damage in children with... - 0 views

  •  
    Study shows that gastrointestinal epithelial dysfunction is found in autism. This would play a critical role in systemic inflammation and would contribute to ASD symptoms through the gut-brain connection.

Metabolic biomarkers of increased oxidative stress... [Am J Clin Nutr. 2004] - PubMed r... - 0 views

  • children with autism had significantly lower baseline plasma concentrations of methionine, SAM, homocysteine, cystathionine, cysteine, and total glutathione and significantly higher concentrations of SAH, adenosine, and oxidized glutathione
  • This metabolic profile is consistent with impaired capacity for methylation (significantly lower ratio of SAM to SAH) and increased oxidative stress (significantly lower redox ratio of reduced glutathione to oxidized glutathione) in children with autism
  • increased vulnerability to oxidative stress and a decreased capacity for methylation may contribute to the development and clinical manifestation of autism.

Focal brain inflammation and autism - 0 views

  •  
    Inflammatory cytokines are increased in autism. Dysfunctional immune system is in part responsible for autism.

Genomic and epigenetic evidence for oxytocin receptor deficiency in autism - 0 views

  •  
    study finds oxytocin receptor encoding errors in those with autism.  Oxytocin has been suggested to be involved in autism.  This study points to the receptors as a potential problem.

short-term benefit from oral vancomycin treatment of regressive-onset autism - 0 views

  •  
    disruption of gut bacteria balance, dysbiosis, proposed to play role in regression autism. This study treated these children with vancomycin. Short interval improvement was found. The take home from this study is the gut-brain connection in children with regression autism

Immune activation of peripheral blood and mucosal CD3+ lymphocyte cytokine profiles in ... - 0 views

  •  
    immune dysfunction found in children with autism. This again, suggests a gut-brain link in autism.

Dysregulated Innate Immune Responses in Young Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders: ... - 0 views

  •  
    Dysfunctions of the innate immune system, in the gastrointestinal system, in children with autism found. LPS found to be involved. Again, revealing a gut-brain connection in autism.

A Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial of Oral N-Acetylcysteine in Children with Autism - 0 views

  •  
    900 mg of NAC over short 4 week course provided significant improvement in behavior of children with autism.  No pre treatment evaluation was performed.  One wonders if therapeutic therapy was actually undertaken if the results would have been better.  NAC is a precursor to Glutathione production and detoxification compromise is common place in autism.

Oxidative Stress in Autism - 0 views

  •  
    high oxidative stress in autism will compromise detoxification. OR is it the other way around? Low Selenium is commonly found in those with autism.

A possible central mechanism in autism spectrum disorders, Part 2: Immunoexcitotoxicity - 0 views

    Must read on immunoexcitotoxicity by Dr. Blaylock. Discuss on the biochemical changes found in ASD and the associated precipitants

Phenotypic expression of autoimmune autistic disorder (AAD): A major subset of autism - 0 views

  •  
    This study proposes an autoimmune component of ASD. The proposed autoimmunity is from the presence of vaccine strain measles virus. Excessive inflammation plays role in this proposed autoimmunity. Samples in this study were taken from serum and CSF
