Autism, Yeast and Antibiotics
, 08 07th, 2008
Some consider autism to be a disorder of the antibiotic era, because as antibiotic usage becomes more widespread, so do rates of autism. Antibiotics kill bacteria, but ultimately replace them with certain yeasts that are found in the intestinal, mouth, and female genital tract. These yeasts then turn into toxic compounds within the nervous system. In a healthy person, the liver would eliminate them before they were able to affect and slow the brain. Certain chemicals in the diet are also known to affect brain development, and particularly when combined with the inner yeasts promoted by use of antibiotics. The developmental delays seen in autistic children, particularly in the speech centers of the brain, may be linked to the above process.
Many believe that eliminating casein and gluten from the diet will slow the development of inner yeasts and be an effective treatment for autism. Some also believe that a sugar-free diet is helpful because sugar may inhibit the immune system and its ability to fight yeast development.
