PANDAS and AUTISM
I think i have finally figured out why Daniel has screamed....
latent strep...... PANDAS
No, not the furry bear like creatures that exsist or the miriad of collectables i have but the pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcus
And the more i read the more i am convinced that many children harbor such strep or other related virus's and bacteria that cause autoimmune problems that might be responsible for some if not all of their autistic tendancies.... i intend to study this further.
I am going to try to convince his doctor to do a 48 hour strep test on agar (one way to dx it, the other is D8/D17 immunologic marker) , and might have an answer, that is if i havent already killed the strep that was in his body.
After following a pretty strict protocol i think the step is gone, the screaming is GONE , completely.
I urge parents of children who have ongoing or sudden behaviors, whose children have a DX or Autism, ADD, ADHD, Bipolar, OCD, anxiety, aberrant behavior, and resulting tantrums, compulsions and fixations, rituals, tic-like eye stims or movements, etc. to consider this very real CAUSE and problem ....and best of all its treatable!
According to various PANDAS websites, and I found the documented research, and Dr. Hollander's abstract on "B Lymphocyte Antigen D8/17 and Repetitive Behaviors in Autism, from the American Journal of Psychiatry , Feb. 1999, that clearly indicated a propensity or susceptibility for PANDAS in Autistic children.
The emerging evidence is very clear, the so called psychiatric or mental illness problems can be biological....and treatable, even cured.
Perhaps the evidence is almost here to convince others the need for biomedical intervention is mandatory for the recovery of autism.....that is, for those that want to cure their children.
