Autisme, metalen? en Lyme gerelateerde infecties

[hope]

Nee, sorry. Ik ken dat boek niet. Waarschijnlijk omdat het in het Engels is en dat te vermoeiend is om te lezen... ( lymebrein)
Lijkt me wel heel interessant!

Hoi Hope en anderen,

Wat vind jij van deze informatie van dr. Bransfield over autisme en lyme?

Evidence Mounts Implicating Lyme Disease in the Autism Epidemic

Chronic infectious diseases, including tick-borne infections such as Borrelia burgdorferi may have direct effects, promote other infections and create a weakened, sensitized and immunologically vulnerable state during fetal development and infancy leading to increased vulnerability for developing autism spectrum disorders.

Mijn beide zoons zitten in een 24/7 instelling vanwege hun autisme.
Autisme komt niet in mijn familie voor, nog in de familie van mijn (inmiddels overleden) man.
Ze hebben geen lichte vorm, de jongste is klassiek autist.

Moon, ik las dat jij ook al lang ziek bent. Wil je je zoons ook laten testen op Lyme?

Verwekker en co-infecties: er bestaan tientallen Borrelia-species. Deze komen hier echter niet allemaal voor en zijn ook niet allemaal pathogeen (wel de Borrelia burgdorferi, -afzeil i en garinii). Door het verzwakte immuunsysteem, maar ook door de vector, is zo’n 50% van de chronisch Iyme-patiënten besmet met meerdere micro-organismen, vaak een combinatie van virussen (CMV, EBV), bacteriën (Bartonella), Rickettsia (Babesia), schimmels, Ehrlichia etc. Deze geven natuurlijk ook een scala van klachten.
Diversiteit Chronische Lyme klachten, maar ook de intensiteit hiervan is zeer verschillend en variëren van pijnen in spieren en gewrichten tot slapeloosheid, depressies, autisme, gehoor- en virusstoornissen, tintelingen en gevoelsstoornissen, hartritmestoornissen (zonder afwijkingen op het ECG), geheugenproblemen, tremor, etc

Er moet een verband zijn tussen pijnen zoals fibromyalgie bij de moeder en autisme bij het kind.
Of dat verband lyme is, weet ik nog niet zeker. Maar het is wel mogelijk.

NEWS: Treating autism with antibiotics

In the Paris suburb of Jouy-en-Josas, Professor Luc Montagnier is investigating the infectious hypothesis. The researcher has devised a novel method which enables him to detect latent infections in the blood of young people with autism.

Pr Luc Montagnier, Nobel Prize for Medicine : « we think that they are bacteria that come from the intestinal mucosa which, when inflammation is present, will seep through the very fragile mucosa into the bloodstream and will produce toxins which can then reach the brain. That’s the mechanism we are looking at, but we don’t want to speak of one bacteria in particular. What we know though is that the signals we are detecting usually come from bacteria that are pathogenic to humans »

Commentary: This is not a first in medical history, certain illnesses that were long considered to be psychiatric illnesses, turned out in fact to be infectious, as in the case of syphilis.

Prof Christian Perronne, (Head of the Infectious Diseases Department, University Hospital of Garches, Paris-Ouest, member of the High Committee for Public Health) : « another much more recent example is that of stomach ulcers which were considered to be linked to stress, they were thought to be of psychosomatic origin, we now know that they are due to the Helicobacter pylori bacterium which is treated with 10 days of antibiotics. In the history of medicine we see that many illnesses can be due to microbes, in fact, it depends mainly on the evolution of diagnostic techniques for these microbes. »

American scientific publications are already establishing a link between autism and chronic infections. In France, a large University Hospital is about to launch a study on the efficiency of antibiotics against autism. Alexandre’s mum is already convinced, at the age of 10 her son has definitely got back his appetite for living.

Preventable cases of autism: relationship between chronic infectious diseases and neurological outcome

Robert C Bransfield, MD

There is evidence that chronic infections and the immune reactions associated with them may contribute to causing autism spectrum disorders. These infections include Babesia, Bartonella, Borrelia burgdorferi, Ehrlichia, Human herpesvirus-6, Chlamydia pneumoniae and Mycoplasma (in particular Mycoplasma fermentans). Maternal immune reactions to infections appear to adversely affect fetal brain development and possible pathophysiological mechanisms include both inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-6, and maternal autoantibodies to fetal neural tissue of the same kilodalton mass as those seen with B. burgdorferi and some other chronic infections. The timing of the infection and immune response is critical in determining the pathophysiology. It is advisable to evaluate women who are pregnant or planning on becoming pregnant for chronic infections, especially if they demonstrate symptoms of an infection or a systemic illness with persistent inflammatory symptoms. The mother and the newborn should be treated when indicated.

Divergent opinions of proper Lyme disease diagnosis and implications for children co-morbid with autism spectrum disorder.

Kuhn M1, Bransfield R2.

Abstract

This paper proposes that some children with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the United States have undiagnosed Lyme disease and different testing criteria used by commercial laboratories may be producing false negative results. Two testing protocols will be evaluated; first, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA) approved two-tiered Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA) or Immunofluorescence Assay (IFA) followed by an IgM and/or IgG Western Blot test. Second, a clinical diagnosis (flu like symptoms, joint pain, fatigue, neurological symptoms, etc.) possibly followed by a Western Blot with a broader criteria for positive bands [1]. The hypothesis proposes that the former criteria may be producing false negative results for some individuals diagnosed with an ASD. Through an online survey parents of 48 children who have a diagnosis of an ASD and have been diagnosed with Lyme disease were asked to fill out the Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist (ATEC) before they started antibiotic therapy and after treatment. Of the 48 parents surveyed 45 of them (94%) indicated their child initially tested negative using the two-tiered CDC/IDSA approved test. The parents sought a second physician who diagnosed their child with Lyme disease using the wider range of Western Blot bands. The children were treated with antibiotics and their scores on the ATEC improved. Anecdotal data indicated that some of the children achieved previously unattained developmental milestones after antibiotic therapy began. Protein bands OSP-A and/or OSP-B (Western Blot band 31) and (Western Blot band 34) were found in 44 of 48 patients. These two bands are so specific to Borrelia burgdorferi that they were targeted for use in vaccine trials, yet are not included in the IDSA interpretation of the Western Blot.

94% was vals negatief met het beruchte two tiered testprotocol van de CDC / IDSA lees ik dat nou goed?

Maar wel durven claimen dat de patiënt centraal staat
