Guest guest Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Important as maybe there is an interaction between the mercury and the ammonia. Rich Press Release Commonly Prescribed Antibiotic Implicated in Autism Wed Jan 5, 7:00 AM ET Yonkers, NY (PRWEB) January 5, 2005 -- In a study released this week, the antibiotic Augmentin TM has been implicated in the formation of autism. The study strongly suggests the possibility of ammonia poisoning as a result of young children taking Augmentin. Augmentin has been given to children since the late 1980's for bacterial infections. Composed of amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium, Augmentin has proven a potent antibacterial, especially for ear infections which quickly become resistant to amoxicillin alone.  The manufacture of AugmentinTM involves the fermentation of clavulanic acid. The fermentation process involves large amounts of urea/ammonia. Ingested ammonia can potentially injure the intestines of small children as well as brain and nervous tissue. Even a small residue of urea/ammonia can potentially induce a substantial brain inflammation or abnormality. The study, published in Medical Hypotheses, (2005 64, 312 – 315) examines 206 children under the age of 3 diagnosed with autism. These children were found to have a significantly higher number of ear infections than the general pediatric population. These same children received, on average, 12 courses of antibiotics representing a sum total number of 2480. Of the 2480, 893 of these courses were Augmentin with 362 of those given under the age of 1 year. Dr. Joan Fallon, scientist, autism researcher and author of the study, states that, " Augmentin is one of the most widely prescribed drugs for children. Its introduction into the marketplace for use in the treatment of childhood illnesses corresponds with the significant increase in the incidence of autism. It is possible that some children, especially those with immaturity, or others at risk for developmental disorders can be injured by taking this drug. It is imperative that further research be undertaken to determine if a subset of children are at risk for neurotoxicity due to the use of clavulanate or clavulanic acid in pharmaceutical preparations - especially Augmentin.

Andy will be in the UK in Feb - he is taking Deer to court..............so there might already be a press prescence around all that, though if Carmels article is anything to go by they might stay away because it will be embarrasing, I am hoping a bit like Simpsonwood transcripts maybe?

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 You are so right, I absolutely agree. The real challenge is moving this forward, not allowing a tawdry side show to consume the issue. That man seemed so misinformed, and my children have been so adversely affected by those misconceptions I couldn't help but comment. I find the perversity of the situation extreemly difficult. . --- Eva family <bobsallyeva@...> wrote: > I agree with this completely.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 I agree with this completely. But if this is said in an interview to discuss the conference then there will be no further discussion of the conference and a lot more talk about AW and the MMR. I agree that this has halted all research of any value in this country and made doctors afraid to even think of treatment in case they get the AW-treatment themselves. I agree. But this conference is intended to kickstart treatment and bring the UK up to speed with US practice. AW won't be helped by another bad tempered scrap about the MMR and neither will anyone else.
