Suoliston bakteerikannasta kannattanee pitää huolta kaikissa sairauksissa - eritoten keskushermostoperäisissä. Seuraavan artikkelin mukaan autismin alkamista on useilla lapsilla edeltänyt antibioottikuuri. Tutkijoiden mukaan häiriintynyt suoliston bakteerikanta saattaa edesauttaa hermostomyrkkyjä tuottavien bakteerien kasvua ja aiheuttaa näin ainakin osittain lasten oireita:

In most cases symptoms of autism begin in early infancy. However, a subset of children appears to develop normally until a clear deterioration is observed. 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.

Autistismissa suolistohiivan liikakasvu saattaa olla yhtenä ongelmana - mahdollisesti ongelmana muissakin taudeissa:
"Dr Shaw addresses this issue in his great book Biological Treatments for Autism and PDD which, in the interests of full disclosure I will soon be distributing in Longs Drug Stores. Autistic patients with Clostridium Difficile in their intestinal tract (from Candida) may have high values of 3-c3-hydroxyphenyl-3 hydroproprionic acid (HPHPA). The Clostridium and HPHPA respond well to Vancomycin, which has improved behavior in autistic children and, in some cases has dramatically stopped psychotic behavior.
When the Clostridium Difficile does not exist he will use the antifungal Nystatin to attack the Candida in autistic patients.
Dr Popper at Harvard, in addition to using TrueHope, is also using D Lenolate (olive leaf extract) and a product called Three-LAC. This combination attacks the yeast which causes the leaks through which food particles get into the body, causing antibody complexes against it. According to David Hardy from TrueHope, Dr Popper uses the anti fungal approach with his resistant bipolar patients (He also uses lithium orotate to help regulate Protein Kinase-C). David says that Dr Popper is now getting about a 90% rate of success with bipolar patients. This means they are symptom free and off all meds.
Getting back to the Vancomycin, perhaps it would be even more effective if patients were screened for Clostridium Difficile before getting the Vancomycin, since, according to my understanding of Dr Shaw, Clostridium Difficile is just one a several risk factors for the autistic child and root causes have more to do with gut dysfunction secondary to Candida from antibiotic treatments, among other things.
