Immune System: Immune Dysregulation n The immune system is not functioning properly n One of the principle suspects in the etiology of autism n Subtle signs of immune dysregulation include chronic constipation, moderate behavior problems, recurrent ear infections and sinusitis.

Immune System: Gut Dysbiosis n “The good germs in the GI tract are overrun by the bad germs.” https://epidemicanswers.org/ 15 Beth Beisel R.D. A Compromised Generation, by Beth Lambert, chapter two.
Immune System: Impact on Children with Autism n Sulfur-rich foods to encourage for the synthesis of glutathione include: broccoli, garlic, onions, spinach, parsley, kale collards, cauliflower. n Foods high in selenium, which have compounds that can restore healthy levels of glutathione include: brazil nuts, sunflower seeds, shellfish, meat, poultry, eggs, mushrooms and onions. https://epidemicanswers.org/ 16 Beth Beisel R.D. A Compromised Generation, by Beth Lambert, pg 133
Immune System: Antibiotics, PPIs, and other Drugs n Exposure to antibiotics early in life or during pregnancy has been linked to development of ASD. n Many drugs, like antibiotics, can damage the microbiome. https://www.campanellahealthcenter.com/ (Microbiomelabs.com webinar on Autism and the microbiome.) https://journals.lww.com/jrnldbp/Abstract/2006/04002/Early_Medical_History_of_Children_with_Autism.10.aspx https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/130/6/e1447.short https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jmm/10.1099/jmm.0.46101-0 17 Beth Beisel R.D.

Immune System: Gut Permeability and Micronutrient Deficiencies n There is mounting evidence that gut permeability can influence the risk of developing ASD. n There are MANY nutrient deficiencies seen in autism. n Micronutrient supplementation can be very helpful. n Data supporting supplementation of micronutrients is strongest for carnitine, CO-Q10, Mg, B6, B12, D3. n B12 (cobalamin), a low level of B12 can impede the body’s ability to remove toxins. n Vitamin D n Clostridia Outsmarting Autism, Patricia Lemer 18 Beth Beisel R.D. https://www.slideshare.net/mitoaction2018/spectrum-needs https://www.spectrumnews.org/news/potential-biomarker-found-in-urine-of-children-with-autism/
