Curing Autism with Antibiotics

Gt bacteria dysbiosis autism clostridiaCuring Autism with Antibiotics by Jeffrey Dach MD

I was intrigued by a 2015 case report by John Rodakis of an autistic child whose symptoms dramatically improved while on a 10 day course of antibiotics.(4)  The dad brought the autistic child to an urgent care center, where strep thoat was diagnosed and a 10 day course of Amoxicillin prescribed.  On the fourth day of Amoxicillin, the dad noticed the child began making eye contact, which he had previously avoided.  The child’s speech began to improve markedly, and his compulsive repetitive behaviors decreased etc.  The author speculated that the antibiotics had a favorable effect on the child’s gut flora, also called the microbiome.  Left image image of bacteria courtesy of MMRF.

Gut Dysbioisis in Autism

VancomycinThis is not an isolated observation.  Fifteen years earlier, Dr Finegold reported in the Journal of Child Neurology short term improvement in autistic children with the antibiotic, Vancomycin.(5)  Dr. Finegold speculated in some autistic children, exposure to antibiotics causes “disruption of indigenous gut flora promoting colonization by neurotoxin-producing bacteria,”  The author ran a trial study with 11 autistic children treated with the oral antibiotic vancomycin.  Short term improvement was documented.  Unfortunately the improvements were temporary and waned on later follow up. The author speculated that this small study indicated a possible gut flora-brain connection in autism.  Left image vancomycin courtesy of Hospira.

Leaky Gut and Dysbiosis in a Mouse Model of Autism

autism mouse modelDr Elaine Y. Hsiao et al, in a 2013 report in Cell stated that many autistic children “display dysbiosis of the gut microbiota, and some exhibit increased intestinal permeability. “(6)  The authors noted three studies reporting significantly elevated levels of the pathogenic bacteria, Clostridium in Autism (Finegold et al., 2002; Parracho et al., 2005; Song et al., 2004).  Left image autism mouse model courtesy of Psy Post.

Dr Elaine Y. Hsiao et al. studied a mouse model of autism in which the maternal mice were injected with the viral mimic, polyinosinic: polycytidylic acid (poly I:C), a synthetic analog of double-stranded RNA. serving as an immune system stimulant which induces fever and inflammation.  The offspring of such maternal mice treated with Poly I:C exhibit autistic behaviors, and the same “leaky gut” ie. increased intestinal permeability, and disruption of gut flora (ie dysbiosis) similar to autistic human children. In this mouse model of autism, treatment with a probiotic, Bacteroides Fragilis, restored gut integrity and rebalanced the gut microbiota to normal.  Probiotic treatment also ameliorated autism symptoms with improved communicative, repetitive, and anxiety-like behavior in the autistic mice, a finding supporting a “gut-brain link” in Autism Spectrum Disorder.(53-55)

Clostridium_difficile_sporeGut Flora in Autism Differs From Normal Children

In a 2005 report, Dr. Parracho et al. studied the fecal flora of autistic children, finding “The faecal flora of ASD patients contained a higher incidence of the Clostridium histolyticum group (Clostridium clusters I and II) of bacteria than that of healthy children”. (7)  The authors also noted that ” Clostridia organisms are toxin-producers and their metabolic products also exerting systemic effects. ”  Left image Clostridium courtesy of Micro Be WIld.

Clostridia Metabolites and Autism  – Propionic Acid

One of the toxic metabolites of Clostridia in the gut is propionic acid.  Dr Derrick MacFabe wrote a review in 2013 on the role propionic  acid, in autism.  In mouse models, studies show thatpropionic acid-treated rats display Autism-like repetitive, perseverative, and antisocial behaviors and seizure.   Neurochemical changes, consistent and predictive with findings in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) patients, including neuroinflammation, increased oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, glutathione depletion have been observed.” (8)(11)(31-32)

Another Clostrida metobolite is P-Cresol.  Massive quantities of metabolites, P-Cresol and HPHPA (propionic acid) are produced by the overgown clostridia in the disturbed gut of autistic children. (13). These two metabolites inhibit the enzyme Dopamine Beta Hydroxylase, responsible for converting Dopamine to norepinephrine and epinephiene.  This inhibition of Dopamine Beta Hydroxylase results in a build up of excess dopamine, and a deficiency in  norepinephrine.(13)  Under such conditions, the dopamine metabolite HVA (homo-vanillic acid) is increased in large quantities in urine samples of autistic children.  According to Dr William Shaw, excess dopamine is pathogenic, producing obsessive compulsive behavior and  free radical damage in the brain worsened by glutathione depletion. (13)

Drugs That Cause Depletion of Glutathione – Tylenol

tylenol-acetaminophen-dangersTylenol (acetaminophen) is a drug known to deplete glutathione, and has been implicated in etiology of autism. (14,15)  Because of this revelation, the routine use of tylenol for febrile young children after vaccination is no longer recommended.  Left image courtesy of Health Impact news.

Clostridia Metabolites Cause Autism and Schizophrenia

In 2010 William Shaw reported high levels of HPHPA (hydroxy-propionic acid) in urine samples of patients with autism and schizophrenia.  HPHPA is  an abnormal phenylalanine metabolite of Clostridia species, a pathogenic bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract.  Dr Saw states:

“The highest value (of HPHPA) measured in urine samples was 300 times the median normal adult value, in a patient with acute schizophrenia during an acute psychotic episode. The psychosis remitted after treatment with oral vancomycin with a concomitant marked decrease in HPHPA. The source of this compound appears to be multiple species of anaerobic bacteria of the Clostridium genus. The significance of this compound is that it is a probable metabolite of m-tyrosine (3-hydroxyphenylalanine), a tyrosine analog which depletes brain catecholamines and causes symptoms of autism (stereotypical behavior, hyperactivity, and hyper-reactivity) in experimental animals.” (16,17)

Testing for Urinary Metabolites can be done using the organic acids test performed by various laboratoiries such as Great Plains Lab, and Genova Lab (previously Metametrix).  A useful book available from Kirkland labs is recommended for further study.(18)

Antibiotics Not Useful Long Term – Use Probiotics instead

Long term antibiotic treatment of Clostridia overgrowth in autistic children is not practical or feasible.  The child will invariably regress after cessation of the antibiotic.   According to WIlliam Shaw,  “In most cases, Clostridia overgrowth can be controlled by supplementation, with 30 billion cells per day of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (Culturelle) and/or 2-6 billion cfu’s of Saccharomyces boulardii.”

elephant-in-the-room Glyphosate Round up2Glyphosate – The Elephant in the Room

The herbicide Roundup which contains glyphosate manufactured by Monsanto has received attention because animal studies show dysbiosis and disruption of gut flora in animals treated with glyphosate. (21-24)  A series of animal studies by Dr. Kruger shows that glyphosate acts as an antimicrobial to gut bacteria preferentially killing beneficial bacteria while allowing pathogenic bacteria such as Clostridia and Salmonella to survive.(21-24)  Dr Kruger says:

“evidence that the highly pathogenic bacteria as Salmonella Entritidis, Salmonella Gallinarum, Salmonella Typhimurium, Clostridium perfringens and Clostridium botulinum are highly resistant to glyphosate.  However, most of beneficial bacteria as Enterococcus faecalis, Enterococcus faecium, Bacillus badius, Bifidobacterium adolescentis and Lactobacillus spp. were found to be moderate to highly susceptible. … A reduction of beneficial bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract microbiota by ingestion of glyphosate could disturb the normal gut bacterial community.

The Shikimate Pathway

Glyphosate was deemed safe for humans because it blocks an enzyme system in plants called the Shikimate pathway, a biochemical pathway which does not exist in humans.  However, regulators forgot to consider the effect of glyphosate on friendly gut bacteria which do use the Shikimate pathway .  The friendly gut bacteria are killed, and the pathogenic bacteria resistant to glyphosate survive. This produces gut dysbiosis similar to that found in autistic children.  Which pathogenic bacteria are we left with? You guessed it, the Clostridia.  Is it starting to make sense now?

Holland has just taken steps to ban Glyphosate sale to private individuals.  Canada, Brazil, Sri Lanka and the Netherlands have or will soon impose restrictions or bans on glyphosate, the main ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup weed killer.   Now we know why. Glyphosate poses an enormous health risk to human as well as plant life.

An n=1 case report of a child with autism improving on antibiotics and a father’s quest to understand what it may mean.  John Rodakis*

The author, a parent of a child with autism, describes an n=1 case in which his child’s autism symptoms dramatically and rapidly improved following administration of a common antibiotic. The author asserts that this finding is not unusual in the autism population and that, when combined with prior recent medical research, suggests that a link between autism and the microbiome in some children is not just plausible, but in fact likely for some meaningful percentage of cases. The author argues for increased funding for a more thorough examination of links between autism and the microbiome and poses a series of questions to be further examined in future research.  Keywords: autism, microbiome, antibiotic, n=1, N of One, vancomycin, amoxicillin

Thanksgiving Day in the United States is usually a quiet time with family, unless both of your young children contract strep throat while visiting family as ours did in 2012. Because it was a holiday, my wife and I took them to an extended-hours clinic, where a physician confirmed strep via a rapid strep test and prescribed a 10-day course of amoxicillin, one of the most commonly prescribed antibiotics in the United States. Neither had received an antibiotic before and in 2 days they seemed back to normal. This would not be a very interesting story except for what happened next.
Earlier that year our son had been diagnosed with moderate-to-severe autism by a team of clinicians and practitioners at Children’s Medical Center in Dallas, Texas. On day four of his 10-day course of amoxicillin, we began noticing changes in his autism symptoms: he began making eye contact, which he had previously avoided; his speech, which was severely delayed, began to improve markedly; he became less ‘rigid’ in his insistence for sameness and routine; and he also displayed an uncharacteristic level of energy, which he had historically lacked. The improvements continued each day. On day six he rode a tricycle around the room for the first time, alone and unprompted, which was remarkable because we had purchased the tricycle 6 months earlier and had worked with him continuously so he could learn to ride it, however until that point, he had never so much as been able to push the pedals enough to move forward.

Short-term benefit from oral vancomycin treatment of regressive-onset autism. Sandler RH1, Finegold SM, Bolte ER, Buchanan CP, Maxwell AP, Väisänen ML, Nelson MN, Wexler HM.

Many parents of children with “regressive”-onset autism have noted antecedent antibiotic exposure followed by chronic diarrhea. We speculated that, in a subgroup of children, disruption of indigenous gut flora might promote colonization by one or more neurotoxin-producing bacteria, contributing, at least in part, to their autistic symptomatology. To help test this hypothesis, 11 children with regressive-onset autism were recruited for an intervention trial using a minimally absorbed oral antibiotic. Entry criteria included antecedent broad-spectrum antimicrobial exposure followed by chronic persistent diarrhea, deterioration of previously acquired skills, and then autistic features. Short-term improvement was noted using multiple pre- and post-therapy evaluations. These included coded, paired videotapes scored by a clinical psychologist blinded to treatment status; these noted improvement in 8 of 10 children studied. Unfortunately, these gains had largely waned at follow-up. Although the protocol used is not suggested as useful therapy, these results indicate that a possible gut flora-brain connection warrants further investigation, as it might lead to greater pathophysiologic insight and meaningful prevention or treatment in a subset of children with autism.

Although autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is defined by core behavioral impairments, gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are commonly reported. Subsets of ASD individuals display dysbiosis of the gut microbiota, and some exhibit increased intestinal permeability. Here we demonstrate GI barrier defects and microbiota alterations in a mouse model displaying features of ASD, maternal immune activation (MIA). Oral treatment of MIA offspring with the human commensal Bacteroides fragilis corrects gut permeability, alters microbial composition and ameliorates ASD-related defects in communicative, stereotypic, anxiety-like and sensorimotor behaviors. MIA offspring display an altered serum metabolomic profile, and B. fragilis modulates levels of several metabolites. Treating naïve mice with a metabolite that is increased by MIA and restored by B. fragilis causes behavioral abnormalities, suggesting that gut bacterial effects on the host metabolome impact behavior. Taken together, these findings support a gut-microbiome-brain connection in ASD and identify a potential probiotic therapy for GI and behavioral symptoms of autism.

Differences between the gut microflora of children with autistic spectrum disorders and that of healthy children.  Parracho HM1, Bingham MO, Gibson GR, McCartney AL.

Children with autistic spectrum disorders (ASDs) tend to suffer from severe gastrointestinal problems. Such symptoms may be due to a disruption of the indigenous gut flora promoting the overgrowth of potentially pathogenic micro-organisms. The faecal flora of patients with ASDs was studied and compared with those of two control groups (healthy siblings and unrelated healthy children). Faecal bacterial populations were assessed through the use of a culture-independent technique, fluorescence in situ hybridization, using oligonucleotide probes targeting predominant components of the gut flora. The faecal flora of ASD patients contained a higher incidence of the Clostridium histolyticum group (Clostridium clusters I and II) of bacteria than that of healthy children. However, the non-autistic sibling group had an intermediate level of the C. histolyticum group, which was not significantly different from either of the other subject groups. Members of the C. histolyticum group are recognized toxin-producers and may contribute towards gut dysfunction, with their metabolic products also exerting systemic effects. Strategies to reduce clostridial population levels harboured by ASD patients or to improve their gut microflora profile through dietary modulation may help to alleviate gut disorders common in such patients.

Autism: metabolism, mitochondria, and the microbiome. Macfabe D1.

New approaches are needed to examine the diverse symptoms and comorbidities of the growing family of neurodevelopmental disorders known as autism spectrum disorder (ASD). ASD originally was thought to be a static, inheritable neurodevelopmental disorder, and our understanding of it is undergoing a major shift. It is emerging as a dynamic system of metabolic and immune anomalies involving many organ systems, including the brain, and environmental exposure. The initial detailed observation and inquiry of patients with ASD and related conditions and the histories of their caregivers and families have been invaluable. How gastrointestinal (GI) factors are related to ASD is not yet clear. Nevertheless, many patients with ASD have a history of previous antibiotic exposure or hospitalization, GI symptoms, abnormal food cravings, and unique intestinal bacterial populations, which have been proposed to relate to variable symptom severity. In addition to traditional scientific inquiry, detailed clinical observation and recording of exacerbations, remissions, and comorbidities are needed. This article reviews the role that enteric short-chain fatty acids, particularly propionic (also called propanoic) acid, produced from ASD-associated GI bacteria, may play in the etiology of some forms of ASD. Human populations that are partial metabolizers of propionic acid are more common than previously thought. The results from pre-clinical laboratory studies show that propionic acid-treated rats display ASD-like repetitive, perseverative, and antisocial behaviors and seizure. Neurochemical changes, consistent and predictive with findings in ASD patients, including neuroinflammation, increased oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, glutathione depletion, and altered phospholipid/acylcarnitine profiles, have been observed.

Propionic acid has bioactive effects on (1) neurotransmitter systems, (2) intracellular acidification and calcium release, (3) fatty acid metabolism, (4) gap junction gating, (5) immune function, and (6) alteration of gene expression that warrant further exploration. Traditional scientific experimentation is needed to verify the hypothesis that enteric short-chain fatty acids may be a potential environmental trigger in some forms of ASD. Novel collaborative developments in systems biology, particularly examining the role of the microbiome and its effects on host metabolism, immune and mitochondrial function, and gene expression, hold great promise in ASD.

A compound identified as 3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-3-hydroxypropionic acid (HPHPA) was found in higher concentrations in urine samples of children with autism compared to age and sex appropriate controls and in an adult with recurrent diarrhea due to Clostridium difficile infections. The highest value measured in urine samples was 7500 mmol/mol creatinine, a value 300 times the median normal adult value, in a patient with acute schizophrenia during an acute psychotic episode. The psychosis remitted after treatment with oral vancomycin with a concomitant marked decrease in HPHPA. The source of this compound appears to be multiple species of anaerobic bacteria of the Clostridium genus. The significance of this compound is that it is a probable metabolite of m-tyrosine (3-hydroxyphenylalanine), a tyrosine analog which depletes brain catecholamines and causes symptoms of autism (stereotypical behavior, hyperactivity, and hyper-reactivity) in experimental animals.

Although dysbiosis or abnormal microbial overgrowth of the gastrointestinal
tract has long been suspected of causing psychiatric disorders, the exact
mechanism was unknown. For the first time, William Shaw Ph.D. presents
convincing evidence that certain Clostridia bacteria produce phenolic metabolites that dramatically alter the conversion of dopamine to norepinephrine, leading to profound dopamine excess and severe depletion of norepinephrine and epinephrine in the brain, peripheral  sympathetic nervous system and adrenal glands. Furthermore, the excess dopamine leads to oxidative stress that can result in permanent damage to the brain, sympathetic nervous system,  and adrenal glands if not treated. He will present a variety of case studies of patients with autism,  depression,
schizophrenia, and other neuropsychiatric disorders showing the usefulness of urine  organic acid testing in the diagnosis and treatment of these disorders.

The use of glyphosate modifies the environment which stresses the living microorganisms. The aim of the present study was to determine the real impact of glyphosate on potential pathogens and beneficial members of poultry microbiota in vitro.

The presented results evidence that the highly pathogenic bacteria as Salmonella Entritidis, Salmonella Gallinarum, Salmonella Typhimurium, Clostridium perfringens and Clostridium botulinum are highly resistant to glyphosate. However, most of beneficial bacteria as Enterococcus faecalis, Enterococcus faecium, Bacillus badius, Bifidobacterium adolescentis and Lactobacillus spp. were found to be moderate to highly susceptible. Also Campylobacter spp. were found to be susceptible to glyphosate. A reduction of beneficial bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract microbiota by ingestion of glyphosate could disturb the normal gut bacterial community. Also, the toxicity of glyphosate to the most prevalent Enterococcus spp. could be a significant predisposing factor that is associated with the increase in C. botulinum-mediated diseases by suppressing the antagonistic effect of these bacteria on clostridia.

Glyphosate linked to botulism and other animal health problems

Three very interesting papers from Monika Kruger and her team in Leipzig on the effect glyphosate has on the gut micro-organisma in animals by damaging the beneficial bacteria

“A reduction of beneficial bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract microbiota by ingestion of glyphosate could disturb the normal gut bacterial community.”

There is now a strong probability that glyphosate residues in animal feeds result in botulism in the cattle and also in related ailments in poultry.

From 41 dairy farms in Schleswig Holstein, Germany, 196 fecal specimens of diseased cows, 77 fecal specimens of farmers and family members from 26 of these farms, 35 animal feed specimens and 7 house dust specimens were investigated for Clostridium botulinum and its antigens, respectively. Four of the humans under study (one child, 8 month, and three adults) showed symptoms of infant/visceral botulism. Specimens were cultivated in reinforced clostridial medium (RCM). C. botulinum antigens were detected by ELISA. The aim of the study was to obtain information on the relationship of detected C. botulinum toxin-types in cows, in the feces of attending humans, and in the immediate environment. The results revealed that C. botulinum toxin-types were different for cows and humans. Toxin-type A was dominant in cow feces while type E was found in humans. Type E was also present in some animal feed specimens. Conversely, toxin-type A was prevalent in the house dust of farms. It may be assumed that the feeds were the source of human colonization with C. botulinum.

24) Glyphosate suppresses the antagonistic effect of Enterococcus on Clostridia Kruger 2013 by Monika Krüger, Awad Ali Shehata, Wieland Schrödl, Arne Rodloff. Anaerobe 20 (2013) 74e78

During the last 15 years, an increase of Clostridium botulinum associated diseases in cattle has been observed in Germany. The reason for this development is currently unknown. The normal intestinal microflora is a critical factor in preventing intestinal colonisation by C. botulinum as shown in the mouse model of infant botulism. Numerous bacteria in the gastro-intestinal tract (GIT) produce bacteriocines directed against C. botulinum and other pathogens: Lactic acid producing bacteria (LAB) such as lactobacilli, lactococci and enterococci, generate bacteriocines that are effective against Clostridium spp. A reduction of LAB in the GIT microbiota by ingestion of strong biocides like glyphosate could be an explanation for the observed increase in levels of C. botulinum associated diseases. In the present paper, we report on the toxicity of glyphosate to the most prevalent Enterococcus spp. in the GIT. Ingestion of this herbicide could be a significant predisposing factor that is associated with the increase in C. botulinum mediated diseases in cattle.

Urinary p-cresol is elevated in young French children with autism spectrum disorder: a replication study. Gabriele S1, Sacco R, Cerullo S, Neri C, Urbani A, Tripi G, Malvy J, Barthelemy C, Bonnet-Brihault F, Persico AM.

The aromatic compound p-cresol (4-methylphenol) has been found elevated in the urines of Italian autistic children up to 8 years of age. The present study aims at replicating these initial findings in an ethnically distinct sample and at extending them by measuring also the three components of urinary p-cresol, namely p-cresylsulfate, p-cresylglucuronate and free p-cresol. Total urinary p-cresol, p-cresylsulfate and p-cresylglucuronate were significantly elevated in 33 French autism spectrum disorder (ASD) cases compared with 33 sex- and age-matched controls (p < 0.05). This increase was limited to ASD children aged ≤8 years (p < 0.01), and not older (p = 0.17). Urinary levels of p-cresol and p-cresylsulfate were associated with stereotypic, compulsive/repetitive behaviors (p < 0.05), although not with overall autism severity. These results confirm the elevation of urinary p-cresol in a sizable set of small autistic children and spur interest into biomarker roles for p-cresol and p-cresylsulfate in autism.

Amino Acid Profile in Autistic Children – Lower levels of Tryptophan and Phenyl-Alanine in Autistic children

In order to ascertain whether autistic children display characteristic metabolic signatures that are of diagnostic value, plasma amino acid analyses were carried out on a cohort of 138 autistic children and 138 normal controls using reverse-phase HPLC. Pre-column derivatization of amino acids with phenyl isothiocyanate forms phenyl thio-carbamate derivates that have a lamba(max) of 254 nm, enabling their detection using photodiode array. Autistic children showed elevated levels of glutamic acid (120 +/- 89 vs. 83 +/- 35 micromol/L) and asparagine (85 +/- 37 vs. 47 +/- 19 micromol/L); lower levels of phenylalanine (45 +/- 20 vs. 59 +/- 18 micromol/L), tryptophan (24 +/- 11 vs. 41 +/- 16 micromol/L), methionine (22 +/- 9 vs. 28 +/- 9 micromol/L) and histidine (45 +/- 21 vs. 58 +/- 15 micromol/L). A low molar ratio of (tryptophan/large neutral amino acids) x 100 was observed in autism (5.4 vs 9.2), indicating lesser availability of tryptophan for neurotransmitter serotonin synthesis. To conclude, elevated levels of excitatory amino acids (glutamate and asparagine), decreased essential amino acids (phenylalanine, tryptophan and methionine) and decreased precursors of neurotransmitters (tyrosine and tryptophan) are the distinct characteristics of plasma amino acid profile of autistic children. Thus, such metabolic signatures might be useful tools for early diagnosis of autism.

A Book Exposing Fraud at the FDA, Subversion of Science…Lies etc.

28) Altered Genes, Twisted Truth: How the Venture to Genetically Engineer Our Food Has Subverted Science, Corrupted Government, and Systematically Deceived the Public by Steven Druker

This book uncovers the biggest scientific fraud of our age. It tells the fascinating and frequently astounding story of how the massive enterprise to restructure the genetic core of the world’s food supply came into being, how it advanced by consistently violating the protocols of science, and how for more than three decades, hundreds of eminent biologists and esteemed institutions have systematically contorted the truth in order to conceal the unique risks of its products—and get them onto our dinner plates.

Altered Genes, Twisted Truth gives a graphic account of how this elaborate fraud was crafted and how it not only deceived the general public, but Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Barack Obama and a host of other astute and influential individuals as well. The book also exposes how the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was induced to become a key accomplice—and how it has broken the law and repeatedly lied in order to usher genetically engineered foods onto the market without the safety testing that’s required by federal statute. As a result, for fifteen years America’s families have been regularly ingesting a group of novel products that the FDA’s own scientific staff had previously determined to be unduly hazardous to human health.

By the time this gripping story comes to a close, it will be clear that the degradation of science it documents has not only been unsavory but unprecedented—and that in no other instance have so many scientists so seriously subverted the standards they were trained to uphold, misled so many people, and imposed such magnitude of risk on both human health and the health of the environment.

New approaches are needed to examine the diverse symptoms and comorbidities of the growing family of neurodevelopmental disorders known as autism spectrum disorder (ASD). ASD originally was thought to be a static, inheritable neurodevelopmental disorder, and our understanding of it is undergoing a major shift. It is emerging as a dynamic system of metabolic and immune anomalies involving many organ systems, including the brain, and environmental exposure. The initial detailed observation and inquiry of patients with ASD and related conditions and the histories of their caregivers and families have been invaluable. How gastrointestinal (GI) factors are related to ASD is not yet clear. Nevertheless, many patients with ASD have a history of previous antibiotic exposure or hospitalization, GI symptoms, abnormal food cravings, and unique intestinal bacterial populations, which have been proposed to relate to variable symptom severity. In addition to traditional scientific inquiry, detailed clinical observation and recording of exacerbations, remissions, and comorbidities are needed. This article reviews the role that enteric short-chain fatty acids, particularly propionic (also called propanoic) acid, produced from ASD-associated GI bacteria, may play in the etiology of some forms of ASD. Human populations that are partial metabolizers of propionic acid are more common than previously thought. The results from pre-clinical laboratory studies show that propionic acid-treated rats display ASD-like repetitive, perseverative, and antisocial behaviors and seizure. Neurochemical changes, consistent and predictive with findings in ASD patients, including neuroinflammation, increased oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, glutathione depletion, and altered phospholipid/acylcarnitine profiles, have been observed. Propionic acid has bioactive effects on (1) neurotransmitter systems, (2) intracellular acidification and calcium release, (3) fatty acid metabolism, (4) gap junction gating, (5) immune function, and (6) alteration of gene expression that warrant further exploration. Traditional scientific experimentation is needed to verify the hypothesis that enteric short-chain fatty acids may be a potential environmental trigger in some forms of ASD. Novel collaborative developments in systems biology, particularly examining the role of the microbiome and its effects on host metabolism, immune and mitochondrial function, and gene expression, hold great promise in ASD.

There is increasing interest in the gut-brain axis and the role intestinal microbiota may play in communication between these two systems. Acquisition of intestinal microbiota in the immediate postnatal period has a defining impact on the development and function of the gastrointestinal, immune, neuroendocrine and metabolic systems. For  example, the presence of gut microbiota regulates the set point for hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity.
METHODS:  We investigated basal behavior of adult germ-free (GF), Swiss Webster female mice in the elevated plus maze (EPM) and compared this to conventionally reared specific pathogen free (SPF) mice. Additionally, we measured brain mRNA  expression of genes implicated in anxiety and stress-reactivity.
KEY RESULTS: Germ-free mice, compared to SPF mice, exhibited basal behavior in the EPM that can be interpreted as anxiolytic. Altered GF behavior was accompanied by a decrease in the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor subunit NR2B mRNA expression in the central amygdala, increased brain-derived neurotrophic factor expression and decreased serotonin receptor 1A (5HT1A) expression in the dentate granule layer of the hippocampus.
CONCLUSIONS & INFERENCES:We conclude that the presence or absence of conventional intestinal microbiota influences the development of behavior, and is accompanied by neurochemical changes in the brain.

  4. Are you sick? Have you been battling with strange and funny illnesses? Are you in a situation whereby the doctors have done necessary tests and said there isn’t anything wrong with you? … These were all my stories until I met with a total cure for them all… His name is Dr. Payo Shalo says my mom… I was almost at the point of death. It was that serious that I was just placed on life support even as the doctors didn’t know what was wrong with me. My mom just came to my hospital bed one morning and said she had found a solution to all of my sufferings (because that was what I referred to the situation I was in then)… She said she was going through the internet and she came across some testimonies of how some people who had similar cases as mine were all cured off their illnesses through the power of this voodoo man. Without hesitation, I told her to contact the man, Which she did and she went on with the procedures as instructed her by this voodoo man (these procedures, I wasn’t aware of because I was in a really bad shape then, And whenever I asked my mom she would say I shouldn’t bother myself about that…that it was something she could handle). Not to bore you readers with too much of my story, in seven days from that day my mom told me about the voodoo man, I was cured off this killer disease that was at the verge of taking my life. Want to share your testimony like me? Contact the voodoo man on his direct email address… payospiritsshalospells’’AT’’yahoo’’DOT’’com (rewrite the email in its right form)… I AM NOW A HAPPY AND HEALTHY YOUNG MAN ONCE AGAIN…THANKS TO DR. PAYO SHALO

  5. Dr Dach. Fascinating information, some of this is “common knowledge” among us biomed versed parents of ASD children, however your explanation and sources about clostridia, to me, was especially valuable, specifically about the metabolites it produces and the way it affects the relationship of dopamine and norepinephrine. I believe my child is affected by it in this way. As per an organic acid test we have come up high in HVA and lower on VMA.
    I wanted to ask whether you have looked into similar sources of metabolite production regarding the metabolite tricarballylate. I have been unable to pinpoint the source of this metabolite even after consulting biochemistry science forums. On the OAT it states bacterial and/or yeast origin, but which kind? I believe it is this type of detailed research which would eventually help us to get to the ultimate cause and find a better treatment approach for all children. Thank you in advance. Ania R.
