Guest guest Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I think the reasons that some are not responding to antibiotics are these: 1. Some with pneumonia still die even though on antibiotics. The docs say that their immune system was too weak. With autism we have immune system problems. So, some docs will focus more on the immune system balance than the infections, which works well for many. But, I think balancing the immune system plus killing pathogens will probably work best. 2. Biofilms, of course, are known to keep the antibiotics from reaching the bacteria. 3. Toxin levels may be disrupting the body to work correctly. 4. Genetic weaknesses might be needed to be tested for and treated. I think there are small genetic issues in most with autism, but for some, a genetic cause may be highly the reason for the symptoms. 5. Since some have reported to lose symptoms when they move or go on vacation, we have to realize that sometimes electrosmog or mold in the home is such a great contributor, that it might even hinder some from getting better even with great efforts.
