Gut Flora and Autism

The Gut Flora May Make a Difference for Autism

For example, research by Dr. Sidney Finegold compared the gut flora of children with regressive ASD to neurotypical children. The results show that clostridial counts were higher in the children with autism. The number of clostridial species found in the stools of children with ASD was greater than in the stools of neurotypical children. Children with ASD had 9 species of Clostridium not found in the neurotypical group. The neurotypical group showed only 3 species not found in children with autism. In all, the researchers found 25 different clostridial species. In stomach and small intestine specimens, the most striking finding was total absence of Clostridia from neurotypical children. While there were significant numbers of such bacteria from children with autism.

Research such as this causes our Optimum Health Staff to recognize the need to support the colon. In other words, we have to support the colon’s ability to fight off unwanted species of microbes. Then we have to support the growth of desirable microbes. When the proper support is given, autism recovery can begin allowing autistic children to make huge progress.

Autism Recovery is possible!

Research by Dr. Pardo, Dr Vargas and Dr. Herbert have shown an ongoing inflammatory process in the brain. This inflammatory process plays a key role in Autism Spectrum Disorder. In all honesty, at Optimum Health, we think that this inflammation is due to toxin present in the brain. We use our total body cleanse process as a part of our autism recovery program. The total body cleanse is a type of dermal chelation that can remove these toxins seems to eliminate the inflammation. Then our autism recovery program helps the body heal the brain allowing our clients diagnosed with autism to lose all symptoms earning them a diagnosis of autism.
