Good morning, all,

I know that my son has metal issues and viral issues.

We suspect brain inflammation.

What tests specifically confirm brain inflammation? Is it SPECT scans? Any other

tests?

Thank you in Advance!!!

Happy Easter!!!!

Hi,

My DAN dr asked me to get my daughter tested for muscle inflammation through

cardiac enzyme. Her LD level is out of range. That means she has muscle

inflammation. Dr asked to test for body muscle and brain muscle inflamamtion.

You need to get some blood draw for the test. Any GP (General practice) can do

that.

My guess is all ASD kids have chronic inflammation, ranging from subtle to

marked. I do not know what test would be worth the time/money/invasion except

for using anti-inflammatory/antiviral supplements, diet and chelation and

watching for improvements.

Here's a link to a list of inflammatory markers. As you can see, the list is

long! I'm just not sure there *is* a test to reliably indicate inflammation in

the ASD brain, nor does it sound like you really need confirmation.

What would these tests tell you? Would you not address inflammation if you

found none on a SPECT, MRI, EEG, spinal tap etc?

Like I said before, I'd address it by using interventions that battle

inflammation and see what happens.

Maybe someone else has a more direct answer; that accurate test to confirm

Jerry's suspicions.

Happy Easter to you, too.

My son's physical symptoms were/are enough confirmation for me. When he is

experiencing inflammation, he might bang his head, hit his face, scream

impulsively because of any slight irritant. He might bounce all around get

angry if he is made to remain still. The more you can figure out what causes

these things (such as foods, metal poisoning) and eliminate those triggers, the

better those symptoms become. I think when parents don't address and resolve

these kinds of problems, the child may be at high risk of seizures as they get

older (if there aren't already seizures occuring as a part of this).

I heard something about an Ann Connely test. I don't know if that is the right

spelling, just wrote it like it sounds. I heard the French lab test can

sometimes be not as accurate.

My son did not tolerate any fats until I gave them with carnitine. Omega 3 was

the worst. Made him mean and aggressive. I wrote what my son needed here

Check out Pyrrole Disorder

[Guest guest]

To check for brain inflamation you need to do the Anee Connoly test at

washington university, it will reveal if your kid has brain autoantibodies, then

you need to check how high is the inflammation and you will need to do a

neopterine test at LAboratoire Philippe Auguste in france. To kill inflammation

you need antinflammatory such as Spironalactone, actos, curcumin, but the only

one that worked for us was Steroids!!! it brought the inflammation back to

range. you need to check the DAN conference presentations from Dr Bradstreeet to

get yourself informed. They have the last 3 dan conf that you can watch for free

at the autism research institute (autism.com)

it is a serious matter, you need to kill the inflammation if she has any!

Good evening, all,

Thank you for all the great suggestions. I am giving most of the supplements to

my son Lance except for Enhansa (curcumin) and Spironalactone or steroids.

My son had a EEG, Anne Connoly test, and a French Test for neopterine from last

year. I just sent another sample for the same French Test two weeks ago to see

any improvement.

I need to have another visit with my DAN doctor or a new DAN doctor to get a

better grasp of the level of my son's brain inflammation.

I have heard that Valtrex will reduce inflammation due to viruses. Does any one

have any experience to confirm if this statement is true or not?

I will review the DAN conference information again.

I really do appreciate all the information. I am closer to tackling this issue

than I thought.

Thank you,

Jerry

Good morning, Sutopi67,

When you wrote " check how high is the inflammation " , which test would you be

referencing?

My son's Anne Connelly test showed the following:

1. No IgG immunostaining to brain endothelial cells.

2. IgM immunostaining to brain endothelial cells.

Interpretation: This patter of IgM immunostaining has been described in some

children with Landau Kleffner variant and Autism.

I thought there would be more information.

Any help would be appreciated.

I will look at the DAN Conference information.

If I have to, I guess we will take a summer vacation in Florida and visit Dr.

Bradstreet and Dr. Rossignol...

Thanks in advance.

Jerry

Steroids can cause cataracts, but it generally takes a prolonged administration

(months or years) to do so. LASIK surgery is vision correction surgery on the

cornea. It is unrelated to cataracts. Jim
