Absolutely -

And Abram Hoffer and Linus ing wrote about the effects of milk and milk products (casein) causing hallucinations (psychosis), I believe in the late 50s and early 60s?

Meg, you are definitely on track! My son's early intervention teacher was the first to present me an article on the gut/brain connection in autism and I finally realized that I wasn't crazy for thinking certain foods made him nuts! Then when I was looking up treatments for psychosis, I found that they recommend the GFCF diet! They said it relieved symptoms of abnormal thinking, etc. I know I have an article on this. Okay, here it is (it's an exerpt):The 'G' Factor -- The Benefits of a Gluten-free Diet.Preview By: Lazarides, . Positive Health, Jul2004 Issue 101, p32-32, 1p; (AN 16289138)"Mental IllnessThe brain is, of course, the main organof the nervous system, and there isincreasing evidence that antibodies togluten can also lead to symptoms ofschizophrenia. The rate of schizophreniais highest in parts of the world wherewheat and rye are consumed; there isconsiderably less schizophrenia in regionswhere these cereals are not usually eaten.Early-stage dementia or Alzheimer'sdisease may be associated with gluten antibodies.A gluten-free diet brought symptomaticimprovement to nine patients withabnormalties showing up in a brain scan.The most exciting research to emergemore recently links gluten to autism.Large quantities of partly digested glutenparticles have heen found in the urine ofautistic children. It was postulated thatthese particles might have a toxic effect intheir own right rather than just stimulateantibody activity. Gluten particles(peptides) were tested on rat brain tissue.The peptides showed considerable differencesin activity. While some peptidesexhibited no activity, 0.5 mg of the mostactive peptides had an effect equivalent toa dose of morphine. This morphine-likeeffect could account for much of the behaviourassociated with childhood autism,and also with the drowsiness that manyindividuals experience after consumingwheat. In the study referred to the mostactive peptides were derived from a fractionof gluten known as gliadin. Of all thegluten grains, wheat gluten has the highestgliadin content. There are now increasingreports of the benefits of a gluten-freediet on childhood autism."> >> > > > This is a true observation.

That IS interesting.

I recently read an article about the impact of yearly flu vaccinations on older adults as a contributing factor to the Alzheimer's epidemic.

Not just the thimerosal that's problematic - Lots of research tying aluminum to Alzheimer's.

Here's an interesting tidbit. A few years ago my father showed up on MRI with a severe blockage in his carotid artery. Of course, they told him he must have surgery immediately. My dad did some research instead and decided to chelate himself with EDTA. He followed a protocol for this.After doing the treatments, his next MRI showed a significant decrease in blockage. I know he did numerous rounds of chelation and then stopped doing them. He recently had another MRI and the blockage is increased again. Come to find out, the protocol is supposed to be longer term and he has started treatment again.Anyway - the point of my story is that my dad completely changed as a person after the EDTA treatments. All the personality changes were for the better and he said that he regained his memory. He had reached the point where he would walk across the yard to do something and couldn't remember what. He couldn't remember those important numbers that we all have memorized, etc. After chelation he no longer has those problems. He is 71 yo.> That's interesting about the Alzheimer's> mentioned. My mom is having memory problems big time. Windows LiveTM: Keep your life in sync. Check it out.

thinning hair can be selenium poisening, or thyroid issues....

Recovering from Autism is a marathonNOT a sprint, but FULLY possible!Read more about it on my BLOGs athttp://www.myspace.com/christelkinghttp://foggyrock.com/MyPage/recoveringwisheshttp://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=677063169

Re:why does it look like schizophrenia at times?

Just an FYI...My brother has schizophrenia. He doesn't have the thinning hair or acne that someone else mentioned. He had an OAT done and he has virtually no yeast issues. I'm sure there are other things besides gut stuff that contributes to schizophrenia. He always had a short temper when younger, started drinking/drugs at an early age and later developed schizophrenia. He has very similar issues to people on the spectrum.>> I was right there with you, Debi. If nothing else, my son has taught me a > great deal about humility and patience.
