Guest guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Wnet to a conference tonght and there is now real clical data showing that 70% of children on the spectrum were born under the influence of Pitosin(oxytocin) What they do not know is if the baby is not sending the signal for labor to start, so the child is already having problems, or if there is too much oxytocin where given during delivery that the babies nervous system will shut down(down regulate) and this is where it may begin. Interestingly, many of the other child with autism are born premature, in which case they would more than likely have a c-section and they too would not be exposed to the normal amount of oxytocin that would be produced during a normal delivery. So too much or not enough is causing the same reaction. The have nowfinished a real clinical trial on adults with autism with IV oxytocin, and the results did show both reduction in higher order repetative behavior and increased social cognition compared to placebo. They also saw similiar effects with the use of vVasopressen, which is often used for bed wetting. Who know an autistic child could be making significant gain with this, but the connection is not being made to the Vasopressen. There are now going to do a trial with Oxytocin nasal spray with adaults only. This is supposedly the first time they have found something that can help with the social end of this. They have found virtuaaaly no side effects. Sound promising. And I need to mention this, I went this meeting with a baot load of people, none of which did not hacve a premature babay and or was not given pitosin. The other thing they are now looking into with immune issues is actually a lack of a parasite in the gut, which is found in more rural areas where child are eating dirt and not living in this antibacterial world. Just as some bacteria are bad, some are good, this parasite is good, but we have wiped it out producing allergies, asthma and such.. The study is still in progress, but what they are seeing, when givin this parasitic crap, it is basically acting as an immune modulator, so they are finally opening their eyes to medications that encourage immune modulation and that these children do indeed have immune problems.
