Maybe this new drug will cure autism?

Is BP blood pressure related to bacteria in the gut needed to absorb and create insulin?

Hormones responsible for insulin production too, SERATONIN
 
Hi Doctor, My son is 9 years old and autistic and epileptic. He is currently on epilium and is using 5 tablets in the morning and 5 at night. He is constant soiling his pants and it is happening at school now. I dont know how many times we have to clean him. I first thought is was maybe the tablets that is causing him to soil his pants. I suspect that he maybe cannot feel the feaces. The family doctor told us that he has low muscle tone. I actually dont know what to believe because i am losing patience with him. Please help.

Epilepsy doesn't cause poor muscle tone, autism does. Tremors may occur as side effect may be related to poor muscle tone or osteoporosis

Epilum destroys stomach gut which also bad for autism (not sure of effect epilepsy)
 
The epilepsy drugs cause muscle issues in long run....read side effects

General advice, hope it helps
 
Why these vitamins assist with eyes and could protect against stroke.

Manganese helps the body form connective tissue, bones, blood clotting factors, and sex hormones. It also plays a role in fat and carbohydrate metabolism, calcium absorption, and blood sugar regulation. Manganese is also necessary for normal brain and nerve function.

Magnesium plays many crucial roles in the body, such as supporting muscle and nerve function and energy production. Low magnesium levels usually don't cause symptoms. However, chronically low levels can increase the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and osteoporosis.

Your body needs calcium to build and maintain strong bones. Your heart, muscles and nerves also need calcium to function properly. Some studies suggest that calcium, along with vitamin D, may have benefits beyond bone health: perhaps protecting against cancer, diabetes and high blood pressure.
 
At this point I think the only drug I would want to see is an impossible one. But, it would be something based on my exact brain, and then it would be a one time pill that I could give to others and for 24 hours they could experience my brain. That’s all that I would need them to know, and then, I think they would be more acceptance for someone like me. Of course, we would each need our own pill since we are each so unique. But all that I crave is understanding, not change.

Several studies have shown that the ketogenic diet does reduce or prevent seizures in many children whose seizures could not be controlled by medications. Over half of children who go on the diet have at least a 50% reduction in the number of their seizures. Some children, usually 10-15%, even become seizure-free.
 

Chinese knew this B Vitamin, long ago?
Blah. Took this vitamin for years and no help for the gut. Started taking probiotics and find I have greatly improved gut function and better overall health, just like my doctor and nutritionist suggested. Maybe don't follow health fads on YouTube?
 
I think meds typically do more harm than good, though there are a few exceptions where they can be necessary (such as the epilepsy example). Even then I think it is best to incorporate holistic treatments as much as possible to keep meds on as low a dosage as possible.

Most vitamins are synthetic, Chinese refering type vitamin B (IBS symptoms) that possibly may not cross blood/brain barrier such folate.
I tried probiotic for celiac, it's supposed to be antidote for yeast, but I didn't think it helped as much as coq10 which isn't naturally derived vitamin either.

I'm not against victors Hungarian policy of anti-woke. I've personally lived conservative my whole life but relationships were difficult and I'm tired of ABA solution to make us normal, autism means we don't really fit in and asexual females don't exist, it's so backward in this country that similar to southern town in USA - how do fit into that?
I'm just saying this to be sympathetic, if endocrine system is disrupted then is it our fault we like this?

Most store bought yogurts don't have enough CFUs for the bacillus to survive gut transit. Expensive probiotics might, but you're still getting a limited number of strains. I ferment my own kraut and hot sauce and when I eat my one cup plus per day of kraut out of 1, 2, and 3, week ferment jars I'm getting a wide variety of strains with a massively massive CFU count. The cabbage as a fermenting matrix also produces bacteria that are better at surviving gut transit. Oh, and my kraut isn't pasteurized like yogurt.

Probiotics are powerful medicine if you source the right. Making your own kraut is cheap and effective.

Allergic to dairy so no yoghurt, (not even cheddar, anymore = no pizza) so I had to discover sauerkraut and pickles. Some probiotics wear off if you stop taking them, in other words don't survive in the gut and I'm not sure if Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus bacteria which are added to yogi are same when consumed from shelf as probiotic.

Personally think most probiotics are overpriced and lack evidence or guarantees.

I have diverticular disease, which is IBS on steroids. I am constantly plagued by bowel upset and chronic diarrhea. I got talked into trying probiotics and it helped, but it was wickedly expensive for the good ones with high CFU counts. They come in liquid form and you keep them refregerated (yogurt is useless). A nutritionist I saw for diabetes got me turned onto fermenting my own kraut. Holy hell, what a difference it made for my health. Bowel upset gone. Diarrhea gone. Quality BMs you can set your watch to. Made me a believer.

I agree the bacteria have a limited shelf life. I start to go sideways within weeks if I am not constantly replenishing my flora with new stock.
