Autism Research



Recent Autism research has connected Candida with Autism and Aspergers Syndrome. The number of autistic children has increased dramatically since the 90’s.

Often the drugs prescribed for autism leave the body with candida.

Neurological Disorders and Candida

According to the research made by the Vitamin Research Products Inc Journal (3/99Vol.13#3), Candida produces 79 kinds of toxins.

These toxins destroy the wall of the intestine.

This causes leaky gut syndrome which in turn, causes various symptoms, and inflammatory responses. The intestinal wall becomes passable for the fungi, parasites and their toxins, which then circulate through the entire system via the bloodstream.

This inflammation may affect the entire human immune system and the nervous system, including the brain, as well.

ADHD

Candida and Behaviour Problems

Some of the behavioral problems which have been linked to an overgrowth of candida albicans, resemble the symptoms of ADHD and include:

  • confusion
  • hyperactivity
  • short attention span
  • lethargy
  • irritability
  • aggression

Candida Cleanse Results

A candida yeast cleanse completely removes sugar from the child's diet. Beneficial results have been reported and include such things as:

  • more direct eye contact
  • better awareness
  • less brain fog
  • less silly behaviour
  • less inappropriate laughter

Anecdotal reports claim that the frequency of inappropriate noises and behaviour decreases. behaviour results include such things as:

  • teeth grinding
  • biting
  • hitting
  • hyperactivity
  • aggressive behavior

Recent Autism Research

There has been much research done on yeast and its effects on autistic individuals.

In recent years some physicians have begun to try to persuade their colleagues, and the public, that candida may present consequences far more devastating to human well being than just vaginitis and thrush.

There are Japanese studies showing that candida is able to produce toxins which cause severe long term disruption of the immune system and may also attack the brain.

In extreme cases they claim severe disorders, totally resistant to conventional treatment, can occur as a result of candidiasis. These include depression, schizophrenia and, in some cases, autism.

It is too early to tell but based on the weight of the information gathered so far, it seems to me highly probable that some of these children diagnosed as autistic, are in fact victims of a severe candida infection.

If these cases of candida were successfully treated the symptoms of autism would show dramatic improvement.

Austic Children


The toxins in our everyday environment have overwhelmed our children’s bodies. These toxins are both man made and microbial ( bacteria and viruses ) based.

Autism research has discovered these toxins at the top of the list:

    1. Mercury and other metals, such as aluminum. Have you ever taken the time to investigate the ingredients in the vaccines that our very young children are receiving. Children suffer from heavy metal toxicity.

    2. Children react to viruses and other microbes, such as mold.

    3. Electromagnetic Fields (EMF). EMF come from cell phones, cordless phones and electrical outlets in our homes. Nowadays, they are installing WI-FI in cafes, restaurants and even the school system has it installed.

    4. There is a link between Vitamin D deficiency in pregnant women and jump in autism in our children.

Four Steps to Take if You Have an Autistic Child

According to autism research, these four steps should be urgently addressed in children with autism:

    1 - Dietary Changes. A Candida Diet would be ideal, as it reduces starch and sugar, which will help minimize overall cellular stress in his/her body.

    2 - Remove any mold, dust and environmental toxins from the home environment. Lower the incoming toxic burden. Drinking pure water and eating organic fruits and vegetables would help to remove the chemicals from the food. It is important to use cleaning products without chemicals.

    3 - Remove the EMF burden in your child’s home environment, especially in the bedroom.

    4 - Get out in the natural sunlight. That's where the Vitamin D is!

There are also natural supplements for autism that children can take, that will help with the symptoms.

Autism Research is only in the beginning stages.

I have a friend who works to improve the health of dogs naturally. She tells me that she is surprised by the number of people who contact her regarding candida and it's effects on the health of dogs. She says that many of the people who write to her with their dog health problems, also have an autistic child.

Don't you think that's an odd coincidence?

Perhaps there is a connection between the food that we feed our pets, and the incidence of candida yeast infections in dogs.

Likewise, it seems entirely possible that diet plays an important role in the health and improvement of the symptoms of autism in children.

My friend Sandra, is working right now, with the family of a six year old boy named Liam, who is in need of an Autism Service Dog to assist him with everyday functions.

Perhaps you can help!
