The article will discuss autism and its relationship with yeast overgrowth based on a real issue of someone. Her two and half year old daughter (who is a late-onset autistic), has what numerous tests to indicate a huge yeast overgrowth. The doctor and she tried to kill it with Nystatin, but she thinks considering the supposed severity of the infection, they only played with the yeast dose which was only 250,000 units 2x/day.
After about 6 weeks on the Nystatin, her daughter began to constantly press on her lower stomach. While she would press on her stomach she would bring her knees to her chest, flex all of her muscles and hold her breath while she was pressing. She had no apparent other problems, so her doctor suggested they start giving her Diflucan (40 mg/day).
She has also read of all of the “studies” on the yeast connection and autism. She is not looking to cure the autism with this treatment. Her problem is what type of side-effects she should expect or what type of things she should keep in mind while they are on treatment (because her daughter no longer can speak).
Autism is strongly felt to be associated with heavy metal toxicity, which also provides a “shelter” for parasites and fungus growths. In other words, if you want to get rid of the candida, you need to address the heavy metal toxicity issues first. It has been found that most kids who are diagnosed with autism are done so after they have had their “mandatory” (which they are not) vaccinations, which are preserved with thimersol, a mercury derivative.
