GiaK Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 The GAPS diet was developed by a British MD to treat her autistic son...she then branched out and starting treating autistic children...quite successfully... now the diet is widely used in chronic illness communities including the autoimmune illness community... a similar diet helps many of us... just blabbing my thoughts...this stuff is all connected!

Barbarannamated Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I am suspicious of info like this because SS/NRIs are being studied for immune system problems. I often wonder how the info may be used to pave the way for new drugs. Call me a conspiracy theorist. Pristiq tapered over 8 months ending Spring 2011 after 18 years of polydrugging that began w/Zoloft for fatigue/general malaise (not mood). CURRENT: 1mg Klonopin qhs (SSRI bruxism), 75mg trazodone qhs, various hormonesLitigation for 11 years for Work-related injury, settled 2004. Involuntary medical retirement in 2001 (age 39). 2012 - brain MRI showing diffuse, chronic cerebrovascular damage/demyelination possibly vasculitis/cerebritis. Dx w/autoimmune polyendocrine failure.<p>2013 - Dx w/CNS Sjogren's Lupus (FANA antibodies first appeared in 1997 but missed by doc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Altostrata Posted June 29, 2012 Administrator Share Posted June 29, 2012 Maybe it's the otheer way around -- immune system problems sometimes cause the symptoms known as autism. I'm also suspicious of all this new information about autism. The drug companies are seeing great opportunities in dumping more drugs on the "autism spectrum." This is not medical advice. Discuss any decisions about your medical care with a knowledgeable medical practitioner.

meistersinger Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 As far as I'm concerned, who knows what causes it. My sister in law still suspects thimerisol, which contains mercury. That has been supposedly been disproven. Other environmental factors are probably involved. All I know is big Pharma is ready and waiting...
