Guest guest Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 I support this view. When this happened to my children, I then realized that at my house, bad bacteria was the main cause of our symptoms. We have chronic Strep and Bartonella. Cod liver oil, turmeric, Mindlinx, and digestive enzymes, all given together, firmed their stools. But also Zithromax did as well. That was 4 years ago. Since then I have learned that Zithromax is the number one antibiotic given to children with autism, and is also given long-term at times. I recently read that Penicillan may also be of benefit. Some antibiotics may kill too much microflora, such as amoxicillan. I chose the herbal and homeopathic route, long-term, but have used Zithromax short-term. There are variances per child, but definitely pursue antibacterials with your practitioner to be part of your recovery protocol. With children with autism, their immune dysfunction seems to make the antibacterials not work completely, and this is why long-term treatments are usually needed. It is thought that viruses and several pathogens and toxins are in them, causing the immune dysfunction. Love and prayers, Heidi N Many kids live on antibiotics. My son has been on various antibiotics for 3 years. I would start with the one that helped your child. Ask you DAN to write a long term prescription and pursue testing of various bacterial infections. Caryn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
