re I wonder if Yeast in the brain is a cause of Autism?

[Guest guest]

It could be rubbed on the eye,

and get in that way perhaps.

Yeast in the brain, and the only one that I am familiar with is cryptococcus

cause symptoms of meningitis/encephalitis and would never be mistaken for

autism. They are very different symptoms. One of the theories behind HIV

dementia is that it is the result of the bodies immune system. That is a

theory. KathyR

Martha,

We see Dr. Goldberg; I believe he just checks the level of two antibodies to

yeast--to see if they indicate a yeast overgrowth.

I'm not sure exactly what your question is but the only way I know to check

for meningitis other than a good history and physical is to do a spinal tap.

The fungus that I was referring to is an opportunistic infection that happens

to a person whose immune system is severely compromised. That individual

would be very sick.KathyR

Do you know if Dr. Goldberg's blood test is checking for that ? We have

an appointment to see him on November 8.

Thank you

Martha

Martha,

I think she's trying to make the point that the yeast infections are not

in the brain. They are in the gastrointestinal tract.

People do not get opportunistic infections unless they are immunocompromised

which means that they have very little ability to fight off infections ergo.

they have an opportunistic infection. These are infections that reasonably

health people do not get. If you visualize someone with end stage HIV that is

what I mean by sick.
