,

I hardly understand any of this, but I don't think it is always as

simple as not getting colds, etc. My limited understanding is

this. Our body should be able to shift back and forth between th1

and th2 responses as necessary. Many, perhaps most, of our kids

would be stuck far too often on the th2 side, but that doesn't mean

that all of their responses would be th2 responses. Also, I believe

that eventually both types of responses become weaker and weaker,

which would explain some of the fluctuating symptoms. Both of these

above points would depend on how severely their immune system is

compromised, I would think.

It could be that any child who still has yeast or whose autistic

symptoms are partially a result of viruses remains on the Th2 side

too often.

I think too that much of what we do in terms of supping is helping

to address this th1/th2 imbalance (probiotics, colostrum, IP6, fatty

acids, etc.) By doing this we might be getting some sort of back

and forth effect.

I don't know of course, but I don't think that the th1/th2 thing,

eventhough it is called a balance, can be thought of like a

teetertotter in that if one goes up the other goes down. I think it

is complicated and in our kids, who get a lot of help and also

suffer a lot of setbacks, even more complicated.

Please don't take what I'm saying in the spirit of corrections.

LIke I said, I really don't understand this stuff well at all and

I'm just bouncing ideas. I'm not even sure if any of this makes

sense. But, on the bright side, it has convinced me that it worth a

shot to talk to my ped about getting a script for LDN (I've been

wavering for a while, speaking of teetertotters).
