Thanks - I'm hoping that Vicky will be OK. We won't need no 3 then as the

NHS have just run those.

Thanks - I didn't know that - very useful information. Hopefully

Margaret will be along soon and be able to give me some more information.

Dear GroupI came across something allied to this.. i.e looking into immune defence problems.I am not sure how many of you know  how breathing impacts on the body... I was studying an article yesterday and learned  a lot  It is well known that breathing has an influence on circulation which in turn affects the supply of oxygenated blood to all the body's systems including the high oxygen needs of he gut, live and brain, However,  Blood flow rates within the brain vary according to respiration rate. Blood pressure is influence by breathing: breathing is responsible for alteration in the Acid/alkali balance within the body, and is also essentail for lymph flow which provides for the body's immune defences.

So might it be possible to wonder whether the reason so many ASD kids have immune problems might relate back to abnormal or weak breathing?

Makes sense to me.. and if this is the case, might it then be the cause of this common weakness?.. and to overcome immune problems, might this be a valuable point at which to invest in remedial work? 

Just a thoughtTracey

 

if you mean me, I don't know anything about them, sorry.
