Guest guest Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 What appears to be going on with children with autism, is that they have immune dysfunction, and have many and varying pathogens and toxins. What I am seeing is that most seem to need to be treated for all pathogen types. One can not see bacteria unless they use a microscope. I have seen others describe what you are describing in forum posts. I think the medical world is extremely lacking in parasite (mostly the word parasite is used to describe worms, protozoa, and amoeba) identification and knowledge in general. I am seeing many report their children with autism are testing positive for many of the tickborne infections. The parents are testing positive as well, even though they have so few symptoms that they felt they were healthy. It appears that many are carriers of tickborne infections (can be obtained from sex, during pregnancy and from lice, fleas, etc.) but only some show major symptoms. Infants and children seem to be much more likely to show symptoms from tickborne infections and parasites than adults. Some children do recover just from treating the tickborne infections, but a lot also need other treatments for viruses, and the various other treatments you see in the autism arena. Yes, I would absolutely seek out treatment for tickborne infections. Join some Lyme forums, like this one: "BorreliaMultipleInfectionsandAutism" and seek out docs that know how to test and treat such. Your average doctor is usually not considered helpful or knowledgeable concerning tickborne infections, according to my personal experience and what people report all over this Internet. Many of the autism doctors are aware of tickborne infections being part of the autism symptoms, some even feel it's the main part. LLMD's (Lyme Literate Medical Doctors) are what are considered knowledgeable concerning tickborne infections, but they may not be knowledgeable about autism. So, you will need to do more information gathering on what you can afford, have access to, and believe is the best way of treating for your family. There are many different ways being used to treat tickborne infections, just like with autism. As a matter of fact, many, if not most, of the autism treatments and diets are used by those with chronic Lyme disease and other tickborne infections. Love and prayers, Heidi N Amidst all the clamor to buy iodine, and take all kinds of wormwood, black walnut, and olive leaf extract, I passed a parasite. I did not know what it was. I had seen this for years and I always thought it was a piece of undigested cereal floating in the toilet after I went. It was yellowish and puffy and the size of my pinkie nail, only roundish. So - I don't eat cereal for the past year -, I am squeamish but decided for my family's good to look at it closely. Half of it had these spider legs looking things all attached in it and through it. I looked on the web and found out what it is. Borrelia Burgdorferi is the name. It is the bacteria that causes Lyme disease. There have been a few post on here, I recall, that discussed Lyme disease. Please can someone answer this post. Please help me. I've not been bit by a tic since I was 7 or so. I have 3 children, and my oldest has autism. The site that made most sense to me said that high dose of vitamin C, coupled with high doses of salt treats it. Please someone respond to this and tell me what you know. What does Lyme disease and salt cure have to do with autism. I'll feed my son salt all day long if that's what it takes. I just want my son well. I want all of our children well.
