The Use of Probiotics for Children with Autism
By Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride
We were one of the founder families of the group of parents which
subsequently became PEACH. There were only 30 or so families in the UK
doing ABA Programmes with their children back then in 1996. I remember
our first meeting in London when we decided to form a charity and were
all thinking what name to give it. It seems like a century has passed
since then. Some children have done extremely well, some not as well,
but everybody involved acknowledges how powerful the programme is in
pulling our children out of autism.
Over the years, apart from gaining a lot of knowledge in behaviour
modification we have learned a lot about the biochemistry and
physiology of autism and how to manipulate it with diet and
supplementation. If only we knew then what we know now! We can't turn
the time back for our children. But we can pass this knowledge to
others who have just had the devastating diagnosis of Autism announced
to them. Unfortunately, there will be more and more coming as the
incidence of autism is increasing rapidly.
We have learned that many diseases and conditions including autism
begin with dysfunction in the digestive tract. A crucial part of the
digestive tract are the beneficial bacteria that live there, which
weigh around 1.5kg. Without them we simply can not be healthy. The
functions of normal gut flora, known to science so far, are multiple
and far reaching.
Normal balanced gut bacteria:
· have a protective and barrier role against invasive
pathogenic micro-organisms by producing antibiotic-like substances,
antifungal volatiles (AFV), and surfactins that dissolve the lipid
membrane of envelope viruses and bacteria .
· play a major role in the digestion and absorption of all
nutrients.
· provide a major source of nourishment and energy for the gut
lining.
· synthesise various aminoacids, vitamin K, panthotenic acid,
thiamin, riboflavine, niacin, folic acid, piridoxine, and
cyancobalamine.
· play an important role in recycling of bile acids and normal
cholesterol metabolism.
· play a major immuno-modulating role by stimulating antibody
production, interferon synthesis, and inhibition of IgA degradation
(IgA is secreted into the lumen of the digestive tract in response to
approaching food and is essential for the proper digestion of that
food).
This microscopic world within us is highly organised. In healthy
people it is dominated by certain "good" bacteria which keep under
control a huge variety of pathogenic "bad" bacteria.
For whatever yet unknown reason, autistic children develop deficient
gut flora. While purely breast fed, these children may be developing
quite well, as mother's milk is the easiest thing on Earth for the
baby to digest and absorb and it provides that essential initial
immune protection to keep the "bad" bacteria under control. But, as
these babies get weaned off the breast to other foods, things start
going terribly wrong. Lacking properly established "good" bacteria in
the gut, so essential for appropriate food digestion and absorption,
an autistic child starts developing multiple nutritional deficiencies
(vitamins, minerals, essential amino acids and fatty acids) which have
got a drastic effect on it's development. In parallel, pathogenic and
opportunistic microbes, not being controlled by weakened "good"
bacteria, grow into big colonies and transform into active states
(like in the case of Candida which transforms from its inactive one
cell state into highly invasive micelle).
This growth produces a whole host of toxic substances which go into
the blood stream and, to put it simply, poison the baby. The
developing brain is particularly sensitive to these "poisons" as well
as to the nutritional deficiencies. As a result, whatever skills the
baby has developed, while exclusively breast fed, are gradually lost,
there is no normal development of language, comprehension, behaviour
etc. - all of which you are very familiar with.
Putting the gut flora right is the first and the most important step
in the right direction in treating autism! Gut flora is a living
organism very sensitive to the diet, quality of drinking water
(chlorinated water is very damaging, it is best to drink bottled
mineral water or install a good water filter), antibiotics, steroids,
vaccines and stress. A diet full of sugars, wheat, processed foods and
soft drinks with all the colorants, flavourings and preservatives not
just alters gut flora by feeding the pathogenic microbes, but changes
the whole body metabolism altering its pH towards acidic. This has got
far reaching and immediate consequences: altering the brain chemistry
and altering microbial flora in other body areas (skin, upper and
lower respiratory tract, vagina, bladder etc.) which predisposes
children to eczema, asthma, ear infections and colds and has a direct
damaging effect on the immune system. Diet on its own is a very
powerful tool in helping an autistic child. But to normalise the gut
flora a strong probiotic is needed. Probiotics are beneficial bacteria
in a capsule. Unfortunately, many probiotics on the market are weak
and not very effective. A probiotic called Bio-Kult contains a unique
combination of bacteria very effective in eliminating Candida and
other pathogenic species and restoring normal gut flora. It is used by
many families with autistic children in the UK and Europe with good
results. This probiotic has got strong immuno-stimulating properties.
It has been recorded that people with food intolerance after using Bio-
Kult start tolerating foods they used to be allergic to. This
probiotic also is said to increase absorption of nutrients which
addresses the nutritional deficiency problem of autistic children. Bio-
Kult contains 14 strains of the most effective beneficial bacteria,
including soil bacteria, and is UKAS Laboratory certified at a
strength of 10 Billion Units per Gram. It has been designed with
children in mind, because it is very easy to administer. It dissolves
in drinks without discolouring them, it can be mixed with food, and it
has got a slightly sweet taste. It also complies with all dietary
restrictions being gluten, casein, lactose, yeast, wheat, sugar, salt,
and dairy free, as well as being in vegetable based capsules. I was a
member of the scientific team who formulated this product, and I was
able to bring to it not only my medical and nutritional knowledge, but
also my experience as a parent of a child with autism who from being
diagnosed at three as autistic, is now in mainstream school.
Parents Opinions
Nevin Penny
I have a 7,5 years old autistic son. Since we started Bio-Kult, Ronny
became much more affectionate and happy. We have been doing an ABA
programme with him for 2 years now. He has no language but since using
Bio-Kult he started to point at things spontaneously, which he has
never done before, and his understanding of language and what is going
on around him got much better. Before Bio-Kult Ronny was taking
Nystatin for 2 years and every time we tried to stop it he would have
quite violent withdrawal symptoms. Since taking Bio-Kult we were able
to stop Nystatin completely, and the withdrawal of it was amazingly
mild. I recommend Bio-Kult to all my friends with autistic children.
Kerry & Andrew Harris
Our daughter Sophie was diagnosed on the mild end of the Autistic
spectrum
in March 1999.
An ABA programme was commenced in June 1999. Sophie progressed
extremely
well on the programme, showing consistent improvement.
We also commenced a GF/CF diet, which appears to have helped a great
deal
with her language development and concentration skills.
We still however felt that we were "missing something" at that point.
We
had researched the use of probiotics, and when we noticed Cambridge
Probiotics Ltd. in the AIA newsletter, we contacted them immediately.
We were given all of the relevant information required, and at first
decided to try
Primal Defense with Sophie (she has since switched to Bio-Kult with no
transitional problems).
It was straightforward to include into our daily routines, in fact
simple
compared to commencing a GF/CF diet !!!!!! We were warned that Sophie
may
go through a period of irritability and suffer mood swings after about
three weeks.
We were reassured that this was a good sign, that the probiotic was
having
an effect, and that this would not last for long.
This was definitely the case. Sophie was decidedly "out of sorts" for
about three days and since then she has shown increasing improvement
in her
concentration, listening skills and tolerance. We did not inform
anyone (especially her
nursery) about her taking Bio-Kult, as we were keen to establish
whether
there was any objectively noticed improvement, in the absence of any
sort of
"Bias".
We were delighted when the nursery staff reported that Sophie had
shown a
huge improvement in her ability to concentrate, to stay on task and to
tolerate difficult situations. One member of staff enquired: "What
have you done
with her???" This was about six weeks after she had started Bio-kult.
This
has been sustained for four months now. Needless to say, she will
continue taking Bio-kult.
If anyone wishes to contact us about our experiences, please do so via
Cambridge Probiotics

Dear Natasha
Thank you very much for introducing us to Bio-Kult it is working
really well for Ali. Although we were using primal defense before, but
switching to Bio-Kult helped Ali tremendously. On primal defense Ali
had to take up to 15 capsules a day (Ali cant take capsules we had to
mix the powder with water), and on primal defense his bowel movement
was ok but not consistent.
As for Bio-Kult, Ali takes 6 small capsules a day, the powder has a
pleasant taste and Ali likes it. After a few days on the Bio-Kult
Ali's bowel movements improved so much and now it is normalized. Ali
has been on gluten and milk free diet for more than three years. It
was ok but introducing the Bio-Kult along side the yeast free diet
(high protein and specific carbohydrates diet) worked even better, it
worked extremely well. Ali started putting on weight (4 pounds) and
eating food he would not even touch before, got his rosy cheeks back
(he had them when he was 1 year old) and he started demanding
spontaneously for food, items and anything he needs.
I could not believe it a week ago, Ali started taking his nappy off
indicating he is ready for toilet training, on the first day of
training (this Monday) Ali started demanding to go to wee
spontaneously.
I must admit I was a bit hesitant about using Bio-Kult instead of
primal defense, but now from my own experience it is definitely
working better.
Thank you very much for your help. Ali is now a very happy child and
this is due to your advice and efforts
Re: Michael (Family Name withheld at their request)
Michael has been taking Bio-Kult probiotics for two months. Towards
the end of this time we have seen improvements in Michael. During
these two months we saw a period during which Michael became jumpy and
easily excitable. He also developed itchy skin rashes on his arms and
hands. For two days Michael developed redness on his face and ears.
He also had a lot of diarrhoea which has more or less settled down.
This was the "die off" period.
The improvements we have seen have been most noticeable in his Lovaas
sessions, particularly during the last two weeks when we have noticed
an improvement in his fine motor skills. He learnt to sting buttons
within two days, and he can now cut along a line of approximately 3
inches. Another notable improvement has been in his expressive
labels.
He surprised me one day by expressively labelling five pictures in a
row. This has been a particularly hard programme for Michael, which we
have been struggling with for several months. He has now added
several more expressive labels to his repertoire and I hope this
continues. In general all his learning has improved and his behaviour
appears more sociable.
It is early days with the probiotics, but there have been no other
changes made to his diet or lifestyle, which could account for these
improvements.

Rubbish. Complete claptrap. That's like saying that people using
umbrellas
causes it to rain. People use umbrellas *because* it rains, not vice
versa.
Similarly, the observation that many people with autism have some
digestive
issues does not mean that it is some kind of digestive dysfunction that
caused the autism. Autism is a disorder of the brain. No amount of
dietary
supplementation will change that.
Have you ever heard of the term "comorbid"?
In actual fact, there is no evidence that autistic children suffer from
gastrointestinal problems any more than non autistic children, although
it
may be the case that autistic children are fussier about what they eat
which
could result in a less than optimum diet in some cases.
Putting gut flora right may help autistic children feel less
uncomfortable.
But it won't cure them.

The Use of Probiotics for Children with Autism
By Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride
[/quote]
http://blog.plantpoisonsandrottenstuff.info/2008/04/20/gaps-a-pile-of/
Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, quacktitioner extraordinaire and author of Gut
and Psychology Syndrome (GAPS) believes that salicylates and SLAs are 'high
in antioxidants' and 'help the body to detox'. Apparently ADHD and other
behavioural symptoms are the result of the 'detox' which is of course 'good
for you'. She recommends a gluten-free, casein-free, high
salicylate/amine/glutamate diet to 'cure' autism and ADHD.
I came across a few blog posts from some poor soul who has been duped into
doing GAPS by the bloody idiots at the Weston A. Price Foundation for
various symptoms of ill health that rightly ought to be treated with a
hospital monitored failsafe elimination diet. I'll run through the sorry
tale:
"I had no idea that doing the GAPS diet would be so hard for me and on my
family. I have lived without gluten for almost two years and dairy for 6
months so I thought."hey I can live on soup for awhile"..hahaha..yeah right!
I totally underestimated the power food has over my life and the power of
the bad bacteria in my gut. This has truly been the hardest week of my life
(besides giving birth).
[...]
I belive the reason this has been so hard for me was because my body had
great difficulty expelling the toxic waste from my body (constipation) and
going into the diet thinking that I would be able to add new things quickly.
When I began feeling some constipation issues I immediately noticed my skin
starting to itch terribly (I think the toxins were trying to get out any way
possible), my nursing daughter woke up with bumpy skin rash/eczema, and I
experienced severe mood swings and terrible gas. I literally felt like the
dead bacteria in my body were producing some sort of gas that was rocketing
into my brain. I almost went to the hospital yesterday to get on
anti-depressants. I was really starting to freak my self out. Thankfully my
husband has been supportive but there has been some very hard times for us
all. Oh another thing..my 12month old wakes every two hours at night crying.
I've tried letting her cry herself to sleep but she literally continues to
cry for hours so I finally go in to nurse her and she sleeps for a few hours
and wakes again. This type of sleep is NOT good for either of us. In case we
were not already feeling crappy, now we are purely exhausted. This is enough
reason for me to want to get us better. I know her sleep troubles are diet
related. I'm starting over"
Despite this appalling and perhaps even dangerous reaction to the diet, this
poor woman persists:
"It has been a solid two weeks since beginning our probiotic Bio-Kult by Dr.
Natasha Campbell McBride. And at least 4 weeks since beginning the GAPS diet
of bone broth soups, veggies, meat, beet kvass, ginger tea, fermented
veggies, ghee galore, coconut oil, cod liver oil, some nuts, apple/pear
sauce and fresh veggie juices."
Could this diet be any higher in food chemicals? I can just imagine what
they are going to do to this poor woman.
"I'll list the positive improvements for Ani and I first: I've gained 12lbs,
Ani only wakes twice a night and my bowel movements are pretty regular,
coming once a day.
Because I began with two bio-kults per day and lots of coconut oil (major
candida killer), Ani and I have had head cold type symptoms for last two
weeks. Yesterday I began only taking 1 capsule per day and really cut down
on the coconut oil. Today we both seem better but I really have to stay
consistent with detoxing. We drink a small glass of fresh
carrot/celery/beet/cilantro/garlic juice after waking (btw..beets are the
best liver cleansers in the world, cilantro is known to expel metal toxicity
and garlic kills bad bacteria), I'm drinking lots of beet kvass, and bone
broth with ginger (another powerful anti-microbial) and of course eating
lots of soups!! Despite these measures, I'll admit that both Ani and I have
die-off coming out of every area in our bodies. Ani has eczema on her legs
and neck, she has a runny nose, watery eyes, and some emotional issues every
so often. I have a runny nose, my ear aches a little, sporadic mood swings,
and exhaustion."
You would think that these classic food chemical intolerance symptoms would
clue this poor woman in that perhaps she should avoid these unpleasant and
reactive foods. Her child has broken out in eczema for heaven's sake. But
no:
"But these are all good signs really, because they present that things are
taking place internally. They show me that I really need to work on my liver
health and encourage the bad bacteria to be flushed out before traveling
into my blood stream. I'm amazed that one capsule of bio-kult is doing so
much when Dr. McBride encourages working up to 8 capsules per day and then
tapering back down to 4 for maintenance. I'm also amazed by the power of
coconut oil in killing candida.
With all my discoveries on this diet I really am beginning to think that
probiotics should be slowly administered after a few weeks eating an SCD or
anti-candida diet otherwise there is too much die-off at one time causing
the body to be overloaded with toxins.
Well anyways, I must end by saying that I'm so happy to be getting better
even though at times it seems like we are just suffering. Detoxing and
Die-off"
The alleged 'power of coconut oil in killing candida' is actually this poor
woman experiencing horrible physical reactions to coconut oil, which are
brought on because it is very high in salicylates and SLAs. In the cult of
candida-land, this translates as being 'a herx' and 'it means you are
getting better'. I am just amazed how people do such horrible things to
their bodies and still think they are doing themselves some good.
What happens a week later?
"Though, I thoroughly love Dr. Natasha Campbell McBride and her work and her
probiotics, I have currently disowned her procedure for healing leaky gut.
Why? A few reasons, firstly, doing the diet as well as the probiotics (even
in the tiniest amount) was too harsh on my body. Maybe a young child who has
not had candida for very long could handle her method very well but for my
own damaged gut, my body had difficulty expelling the toxins. Instead, the
toxins were hitch-hiking through my blood stream. And somehow into my
nursing daughter's system too."
The author has been recruited by bonkers Bee Wilder and her anti-candida
diet and is now eating a high fat, low carbohydrate diet. The diet is lower
in food chemicals, but still relatively high compared to a normal diet.
"After just a day or so on this new path, I felt so energized, strong and
capable, so happy! It took a little while to balance my blood sugar levels
until I learned that I wasn't getting enough fat. I no longer have any blood
sugar issues and my impulsive food cravings (usually for a handful of nuts)
has disappeared. I can go longer between meals (I had been eating every
other hour). I went running yesterday with my babe and daughter. Jason said
I'm much more delightful. No more intense die-off, just a little here and
there. A shift"
I also experience the same energy rush and increased tolerance to food
chemicals on a high fat, low carbohydrate diet. And I assure you it has
nothing to do with candida and everything to do with the reasons the
ketogenic diet is used to treat intractable epilepsy in children. But just
like me, this woman is never going to feel truly 'right' on this diet.
How are things going lately?
"Last week we went out to dinner and I ordered a thai salad. Though
everything on it was ok (besides the dressing which I'm sure had sugar in
it) the lettuce was raw and my gut is not ready for raw greens. I seem to do
ok with a small amounts of fermented veggies like pickled ginger root and
pickled garlic and any sauted veggies. But eating raw greens while healing a
damaged gut is like eating sand paper, it is very irritating. I felt
terrible for about 36 hours after that dumb mistake. My stomach hurts"
She's blaming all of her problems on tiny mistakes like slightly too many
carbohydrates or too much fibre, just like I used to. Actually, the problem
is the extremely high chemical Thai dressing she has eaten.
Another tragic victim of WAPF's promotion of quack cures over science. |

anti-depressants. I was really starting to freak my self out. Thankfully my
husband has been supportive but there has been some very hard times for us
all. Oh another thing..my 12month old wakes every two hours at night crying.
I've tried letting her cry herself to sleep but she literally continues to
cry for hours so I finally go in to nurse her and she sleeps for a few hours
and wakes again. This type of sleep is NOT good for either of us. In case we
were not already feeling crappy, now we are purely exhausted. This is enough
reason for me to want to get us better. I know her sleep troubles are diet
related. I'm starting over"
Despite this appalling and perhaps even dangerous reaction to the diet, this
poor woman persists:
"It has been a solid two weeks since beginning our probiotic Bio-Kult by Dr.
Natasha Campbell McBride. And at least 4 weeks since beginning the GAPS diet
of bone broth soups, veggies, meat, beet kvass, ginger tea, fermented
veggies, ghee galore, coconut oil, cod liver oil, some nuts, apple/pear
sauce and fresh veggie juices."
Could this diet be any higher in food chemicals? I can just imagine what
they are going to do to this poor woman.
"I'll list the positive improvements for Ani and I first: I've gained 12lbs,
Ani only wakes twice a night and my bowel movements are pretty regular,
coming once a day.
Because I began with two bio-kults per day and lots of coconut oil (major
candida killer), Ani and I have had head cold type symptoms for last two
weeks. Yesterday I began only taking 1 capsule per day and really cut down
on the coconut oil. Today we both seem better but I really have to stay
consistent with detoxing. We drink a small glass of fresh
carrot/celery/beet/cilantro/garlic juice after waking (btw..beets are the
best liver cleansers in the world, cilantro is known to expel metal toxicity
and garlic kills bad bacteria), I'm drinking lots of beet kvass, and bone
broth with ginger (another powerful anti-microbial) and of course eating
lots of soups!! Despite these measures, I'll admit that both Ani and I have
die-off coming out of every area in our bodies. Ani has eczema on her legs
and neck, she has a runny nose, watery eyes, and some emotional issues every
so often. I have a runny nose, my ear aches a little, sporadic mood swings,
and exhaustion."
You would think that these classic food chemical intolerance symptoms would
clue this poor woman in that perhaps she should avoid these unpleasant and
reactive foods. Her child has broken out in eczema for heaven's sake. But
no:
"But these are all good signs really, because they present that things are
taking place internally. They show me that I really need to work on my liver
health and encourage the bad bacteria to be flushed out before traveling
into my blood stream. I'm amazed that one capsule of bio-kult is doing so
much when Dr. McBride encourages working up to 8 capsules per day and then
tapering back down to 4 for maintenance. I'm also amazed by the power of
coconut oil in killing candida.
With all my discoveries on this diet I really am beginning to think that
probiotics should be slowly administered after a few weeks eating an SCD or
anti-candida diet otherwise there is too much die-off at one time causing
the body to be overloaded with toxins.
Well anyways, I must end by saying that I'm so happy to be getting better
even though at times it seems like we are just suffering. Detoxing and
Die-off"
The alleged 'power of coconut oil in killing candida' is actually this poor
woman experiencing horrible physical reactions to coconut oil, which are
brought on because it is very high in salicylates and SLAs. In the cult of
candida-land, this translates as being 'a herx' and 'it means you are
getting better'. I am just amazed how people do such horrible things to
their bodies and still think they are doing themselves some good.
What happens a week later?
"Though, I thoroughly love Dr. Natasha Campbell McBride and her work and her
probiotics, I have currently disowned her procedure for healing leaky gut.
Why? A few reasons, firstly, doing the diet as well as the probiotics (even
in the tiniest amount) was too harsh on my body. Maybe a young child who has
not had candida for very long could handle her method very well but for my
own damaged gut, my body had difficulty expelling the toxins. Instead, the
toxins were hitch-hiking through my blood stream. And somehow into my
nursing daughter's system too."
The author has been recruited by bonkers Bee Wilder and her anti-candida
diet and is now eating a high fat, low carbohydrate diet. The diet is lower
in food chemicals, but still relatively high compared to a normal diet.
"After just a day or so on this new path, I felt so energized, strong and
capable, so happy! It took a little while to balance my blood sugar levels
until I learned that I wasn't getting enough fat. I no longer have any blood
sugar issues and my impulsive food cravings (usually for a handful of nuts)
has disappeared. I can go longer between meals (I had been eating every
other hour). I went running yesterday with my babe and daughter. Jason said
I'm much more delightful. No more intense die-off, just a little here and
there. A shift"
I also experience the same energy rush and increased tolerance to food
chemicals on a high fat, low carbohydrate diet. And I assure you it has
nothing to do with candida and everything to do with the reasons the
ketogenic diet is used to treat intractable epilepsy in children. But just
like me, this woman is never going to feel truly 'right' on this diet.
How are things going lately?
"Last week we went out to dinner and I ordered a thai salad. Though
everything on it was ok (besides the dressing which I'm sure had sugar in
it) the lettuce was raw and my gut is not ready for raw greens. I seem to do
ok with a small amounts of fermented veggies like pickled ginger root and
pickled garlic and any sauted veggies. But eating raw greens while healing a
damaged gut is like eating sand paper, it is very irritating. I felt
terrible for about 36 hours after that dumb mistake. My stomach hurts"
She's blaming all of her problems on tiny mistakes like slightly too many
carbohydrates or too much fibre, just like I used to. Actually, the problem
is the extremely high chemical Thai dressing she has eaten.
Another tragic victim of WAPF's promotion of quack cures over science. |

The Use of Probiotics for Children with Autism
By Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride
We were one of the founder families of the group of parents which
subsequently became PEACH. There were only 30 or so families in the UK
doing ABA Programmes with their children back then in 1996. I remember
our first meeting in London when we decided to form a charity and were
all thinking what name to give it. It seems like a century has passed
since then. Some children have done extremely well, some not as well,
but everybody involved acknowledges how powerful the programme is in
pulling our children out of autism.
Over the years, apart from gaining a lot of knowledge in behaviour
modification we have learned a lot about the biochemistry and
physiology of autism and how to manipulate it with diet and
supplementation. If only we knew then what we know now! We can't turn
the time back for our children. But we can pass this knowledge to
others who have just had the devastating diagnosis of Autism announced
to them. Unfortunately, there will be more and more coming as the
incidence of autism is increasing rapidly.
We have learned that many diseases and conditions including autism
begin with dysfunction in the digestive tract. A crucial part of the
digestive tract are the beneficial bacteria that live there, which
weigh around 1.5kg. Without them we simply can not be healthy. The
functions of normal gut flora, known to science so far, are multiple
and far reaching.
Normal balanced gut bacteria:
· have a protective and barrier role against invasive
pathogenic micro-organisms by producing antibiotic-like substances,
antifungal volatiles (AFV), and surfactins that dissolve the lipid
membrane of envelope viruses and bacteria .
· play a major role in the digestion and absorption of all
nutrients.
· provide a major source of nourishment and energy for the gut
lining.
· synthesise various aminoacids, vitamin K, panthotenic acid,
thiamin, riboflavine, niacin, folic acid, piridoxine, and
cyancobalamine.
· play an important role in recycling of bile acids and normal
cholesterol metabolism.
· play a major immuno-modulating role by stimulating antibody
production, interferon synthesis, and inhibition of IgA degradation
(IgA is secreted into the lumen of the digestive tract in response to
approaching food and is essential for the proper digestion of that
food).
This microscopic world within us is highly organised. In healthy
people it is dominated by certain "good" bacteria which keep under
control a huge variety of pathogenic "bad" bacteria.
For whatever yet unknown reason, autistic children develop deficient
gut flora. While purely breast fed, these children may be developing
quite well, as mother's milk is the easiest thing on Earth for the
baby to digest and absorb and it provides that essential initial
immune protection to keep the "bad" bacteria under control. But, as
these babies get weaned off the breast to other foods, things start
going terribly wrong. Lacking properly established "good" bacteria in
the gut, so essential for appropriate food digestion and absorption,
an autistic child starts developing multiple nutritional deficiencies
(vitamins, minerals, essential amino acids and fatty acids) which have
got a drastic effect on it's development. In parallel, pathogenic and
opportunistic microbes, not being controlled by weakened "good"
bacteria, grow into big colonies and transform into active states
(like in the case of Candida which transforms from its inactive one
cell state into highly invasive micelle).
This growth produces a whole host of toxic substances which go into
the blood stream and, to put it simply, poison the baby. The
developing brain is particularly sensitive to these "poisons" as well
as to the nutritional deficiencies. As a result, whatever skills the
baby has developed, while exclusively breast fed, are gradually lost,
there is no normal development of language, comprehension, behaviour
etc. - all of which you are very familiar with.
Putting the gut flora right is the first and the most important step
in the right direction in treating autism! Gut flora is a living
organism very sensitive to the diet, quality of drinking water
(chlorinated water is very damaging, it is best to drink bottled
mineral water or install a good water filter), antibiotics, steroids,
vaccines and stress. A diet full of sugars, wheat, processed foods and
soft drinks with all the colorants, flavourings and preservatives not
just alters gut flora by feeding the pathogenic microbes, but changes
the whole body metabolism altering its pH towards acidic. This has got
far reaching and immediate consequences: altering the brain chemistry
and altering microbial flora in other body areas (skin, upper and
lower respiratory tract, vagina, bladder etc.) which predisposes
children to eczema, asthma, ear infections and colds and has a direct
damaging effect on the immune system. Diet on its own is a very
powerful tool in helping an autistic child. But to normalise the gut
flora a strong probiotic is needed. Probiotics are beneficial bacteria
in a capsule. Unfortunately, many probiotics on the market are weak
and not very effective. A probiotic called Bio-Kult contains a unique
combination of bacteria very effective in eliminating Candida and
other pathogenic species and restoring normal gut flora. It is used by
many families with autistic children in the UK and Europe with good
results. This probiotic has got strong immuno-stimulating properties.
It has been recorded that people with food intolerance after using Bio-
Kult start tolerating foods they used to be allergic to. This
probiotic also is said to increase absorption of nutrients which
addresses the nutritional deficiency problem of autistic children. Bio-
Kult contains 14 strains of the most effective beneficial bacteria,
including soil bacteria, and is UKAS Laboratory certified at a
strength of 10 Billion Units per Gram. It has been designed with
children in mind, because it is very easy to administer. It dissolves
in drinks without discolouring them, it can be mixed with food, and it
has got a slightly sweet taste. It also complies with all dietary
restrictions being gluten, casein, lactose, yeast, wheat, sugar, salt,
and dairy free, as well as being in vegetable based capsules. I was a
member of the scientific team who formulated this product, and I was
able to bring to it not only my medical and nutritional knowledge, but
also my experience as a parent of a child with autism who from being
diagnosed at three as autistic, is now in mainstream school.

I have a 7,5 years old autistic son. Since we started Bio-Kult, Ronny
became much more affectionate and happy. We have been doing an ABA
programme with him for 2 years now. He has no language but since using
Bio-Kult he started to point at things spontaneously, which he has
never done before, and his understanding of language and what is going
on around him got much better. Before Bio-Kult Ronny was taking
Nystatin for 2 years and every time we tried to stop it he would have
quite violent withdrawal symptoms. Since taking Bio-Kult we were able
to stop Nystatin completely, and the withdrawal of it was amazingly
mild. I recommend Bio-Kult to all my friends with autistic children.
Kerry & Andrew Harris
Our daughter Sophie was diagnosed on the mild end of the Autistic
spectrum
in March 1999.
An ABA programme was commenced in June 1999. Sophie progressed
extremely
well on the programme, showing consistent improvement.
We also commenced a GF/CF diet, which appears to have helped a great
deal
with her language development and concentration skills.
We still however felt that we were "missing something" at that point.
We
had researched the use of probiotics, and when we noticed Cambridge
Probiotics Ltd. in the AIA newsletter, we contacted them immediately.
We were given all of the relevant information required, and at first
decided to try
Primal Defense with Sophie (she has since switched to Bio-Kult with no
transitional problems).
It was straightforward to include into our daily routines, in fact
simple
compared to commencing a GF/CF diet !!!!!! We were warned that Sophie
may
go through a period of irritability and suffer mood swings after about
three weeks.
We were reassured that this was a good sign, that the probiotic was
having
an effect, and that this would not last for long.
This was definitely the case. Sophie was decidedly "out of sorts" for
about three days and since then she has shown increasing improvement
in her
concentration, listening skills and tolerance. We did not inform
anyone (especially her
nursery) about her taking Bio-Kult, as we were keen to establish
whether
there was any objectively noticed improvement, in the absence of any
sort of
"Bias".
We were delighted when the nursery staff reported that Sophie had
shown a
huge improvement in her ability to concentrate, to stay on task and to
tolerate difficult situations. One member of staff enquired: "What
have you done
with her???" This was about six weeks after she had started Bio-kult.
This
has been sustained for four months now. Needless to say, she will
continue taking Bio-kult.
If anyone wishes to contact us about our experiences, please do so via

Dear Natasha
Thank you very much for introducing us to Bio-Kult it is working
really well for Ali. Although we were using primal defense before, but
switching to Bio-Kult helped Ali tremendously. On primal defense Ali
had to take up to 15 capsules a day (Ali cant take capsules we had to
mix the powder with water), and on primal defense his bowel movement
was ok but not consistent.
As for Bio-Kult, Ali takes 6 small capsules a day, the powder has a
pleasant taste and Ali likes it. After a few days on the Bio-Kult
Ali's bowel movements improved so much and now it is normalized. Ali
has been on gluten and milk free diet for more than three years. It
was ok but introducing the Bio-Kult along side the yeast free diet
(high protein and specific carbohydrates diet) worked even better, it
worked extremely well. Ali started putting on weight (4 pounds) and
eating food he would not even touch before, got his rosy cheeks back
(he had them when he was 1 year old) and he started demanding
spontaneously for food, items and anything he needs.
I could not believe it a week ago, Ali started taking his nappy off
indicating he is ready for toilet training, on the first day of
training (this Monday) Ali started demanding to go to wee
spontaneously.
I must admit I was a bit hesitant about using Bio-Kult instead of
primal defense, but now from my own experience it is definitely
working better.
Thank you very much for your help. Ali is now a very happy child and
this is due to your advice and efforts
Re: Michael (Family Name withheld at their request)
Michael has been taking Bio-Kult probiotics for two months. Towards
the end of this time we have seen improvements in Michael. During
these two months we saw a period during which Michael became jumpy and
easily excitable. He also developed itchy skin rashes on his arms and
hands. For two days Michael developed redness on his face and ears.
He also had a lot of diarrhoea which has more or less settled down.
This was the "die off" period.
The improvements we have seen have been most noticeable in his Lovaas
sessions, particularly during the last two weeks when we have noticed
an improvement in his fine motor skills. He learnt to sting buttons
within two days, and he can now cut along a line of approximately 3
inches. Another notable improvement has been in his expressive
labels.
He surprised me one day by expressively labelling five pictures in a
row. This has been a particularly hard programme for Michael, which we
have been struggling with for several months. He has now added
several more expressive labels to his repertoire and I hope this
continues. In general all his learning has improved and his behaviour
appears more sociable.
It is early days with the probiotics, but there have been no other
changes made to his diet or lifestyle, which could account for these
improvements.

(IgA is secreted into the lumen of the digestive tract in response to
approaching food and is essential for the proper digestion of that
food).
This microscopic world within us is highly organised. In healthy
people it is dominated by certain "good" bacteria which keep under
control a huge variety of pathogenic "bad" bacteria.
For whatever yet unknown reason, autistic children develop deficient
gut flora. While purely breast fed, these children may be developing
quite well, as mother's milk is the easiest thing on Earth for the
baby to digest and absorb and it provides that essential initial
immune protection to keep the "bad" bacteria under control. But, as
these babies get weaned off the breast to other foods, things start
going terribly wrong. Lacking properly established "good" bacteria in
the gut, so essential for appropriate food digestion and absorption,
an autistic child starts developing multiple nutritional deficiencies
(vitamins, minerals, essential amino acids and fatty acids) which have
got a drastic effect on it's development. In parallel, pathogenic and
opportunistic microbes, not being controlled by weakened "good"
bacteria, grow into big colonies and transform into active states
(like in the case of Candida which transforms from its inactive one
cell state into highly invasive micelle).
This growth produces a whole host of toxic substances which go into
the blood stream and, to put it simply, poison the baby. The
developing brain is particularly sensitive to these "poisons" as well
as to the nutritional deficiencies. As a result, whatever skills the
baby has developed, while exclusively breast fed, are gradually lost,
there is no normal development of language, comprehension, behaviour
etc. - all of which you are very familiar with.
Putting the gut flora right is the first and the most important step
in the right direction in treating autism! Gut flora is a living
organism very sensitive to the diet, quality of drinking water
(chlorinated water is very damaging, it is best to drink bottled
mineral water or install a good water filter), antibiotics, steroids,
vaccines and stress. A diet full of sugars, wheat, processed foods and
soft drinks with all the colorants, flavourings and preservatives not
just alters gut flora by feeding the pathogenic microbes, but changes
the whole body metabolism altering its pH towards acidic. This has got
far reaching and immediate consequences: altering the brain chemistry
and altering microbial flora in other body areas (skin, upper and
lower respiratory tract, vagina, bladder etc.) which predisposes
children to eczema, asthma, ear infections and colds and has a direct
damaging effect on the immune system. Diet on its own is a very
powerful tool in helping an autistic child. But to normalise the gut
flora a strong probiotic is needed. Probiotics are beneficial bacteria
in a capsule. Unfortunately, many probiotics on the market are weak
and not very effective. A probiotic called Bio-Kult contains a unique
combination of bacteria very effective in eliminating Candida and
other pathogenic species and restoring normal gut flora. It is used by
many families with autistic children in the UK and Europe with good
results. This probiotic has got strong immuno-stimulating properties.
It has been recorded that people with food intolerance after using Bio-
Kult start tolerating foods they used to be allergic to. This
probiotic also is said to increase absorption of nutrients which
addresses the nutritional deficiency problem of autistic children. Bio-
Kult contains 14 strains of the most effective beneficial bacteria,
including soil bacteria, and is UKAS Laboratory certified at a
strength of 10 Billion Units per Gram. It has been designed with
children in mind, because it is very easy to administer. It dissolves
in drinks without discolouring them, it can be mixed with food, and it
has got a slightly sweet taste. It also complies with all dietary
restrictions being gluten, casein, lactose, yeast, wheat, sugar, salt,
and dairy free, as well as being in vegetable based capsules. I was a
member of the scientific team who formulated this product, and I was
able to bring to it not only my medical and nutritional knowledge, but
also my experience as a parent of a child with autism who from being
diagnosed at three as autistic, is now in mainstream school.
Parents Opinions

I have a 7,5 years old autistic son. Since we started Bio-Kult, Ronny
became much more affectionate and happy. We have been doing an ABA
programme with him for 2 years now. He has no language but since using
Bio-Kult he started to point at things spontaneously, which he has
never done before, and his understanding of language and what is going
on around him got much better. Before Bio-Kult Ronny was taking
Nystatin for 2 years and every time we tried to stop it he would have
quite violent withdrawal symptoms. Since taking Bio-Kult we were able
to stop Nystatin completely, and the withdrawal of it was amazingly
mild. I recommend Bio-Kult to all my friends with autistic children.
Kerry & Andrew Harris
Our daughter Sophie was diagnosed on the mild end of the Autistic
spectrum
in March 1999.
An ABA programme was commenced in June 1999. Sophie progressed
extremely
well on the programme, showing consistent improvement.
We also commenced a GF/CF diet, which appears to have helped a great
deal
with her language development and concentration skills.
We still however felt that we were "missing something" at that point.
We
had researched the use of probiotics, and when we noticed Cambridge
Probiotics Ltd. in the AIA newsletter, we contacted them immediately.
We were given all of the relevant information required, and at first
decided to try
Primal Defense with Sophie (she has since switched to Bio-Kult with no
transitional problems).
It was straightforward to include into our daily routines, in fact
simple
compared to commencing a GF/CF diet !!!!!! We were warned that Sophie
may
go through a period of irritability and suffer mood swings after about
three weeks.
We were reassured that this was a good sign, that the probiotic was
having
an effect, and that this would not last for long.
This was definitely the case. Sophie was decidedly "out of sorts" for
about three days and since then she has shown increasing improvement
in her
concentration, listening skills and tolerance. We did not inform
anyone (especially her
nursery) about her taking Bio-Kult, as we were keen to establish
whether
there was any objectively noticed improvement, in the absence of any
sort of
"Bias".
We were delighted when the nursery staff reported that Sophie had
shown a
huge improvement in her ability to concentrate, to stay on task and to
tolerate difficult situations. One member of staff enquired: "What
have you done
with her???" This was about six weeks after she had started Bio-kult.
This
has been sustained for four months now. Needless to say, she will
continue taking Bio-kult.
If anyone wishes to contact us about our experiences, please do so via

Dear Natasha
Thank you very much for introducing us to Bio-Kult it is working
really well for Ali. Although we were using primal defense before, but
switching to Bio-Kult helped Ali tremendously. On primal defense Ali
had to take up to 15 capsules a day (Ali cant take capsules we had to
mix the powder with water), and on primal defense his bowel movement
was ok but not consistent.
As for Bio-Kult, Ali takes 6 small capsules a day, the powder has a
pleasant taste and Ali likes it. After a few days on the Bio-Kult
Ali's bowel movements improved so much and now it is normalized. Ali
has been on gluten and milk free diet for more than three years. It
was ok but introducing the Bio-Kult along side the yeast free diet
(high protein and specific carbohydrates diet) worked even better, it
worked extremely well. Ali started putting on weight (4 pounds) and
eating food he would not even touch before, got his rosy cheeks back
(he had them when he was 1 year old) and he started demanding
spontaneously for food, items and anything he needs.
I could not believe it a week ago, Ali started taking his nappy off
indicating he is ready for toilet training, on the first day of
training (this Monday) Ali started demanding to go to wee
spontaneously.
I must admit I was a bit hesitant about using Bio-Kult instead of
primal defense, but now from my own experience it is definitely
working better.
Thank you very much for your help. Ali is now a very happy child and
this is due to your advice and efforts
Re: Michael (Family Name withheld at their request)
Michael has been taking Bio-Kult probiotics for two months. Towards
the end of this time we have seen improvements in Michael. During
these two months we saw a period during which Michael became jumpy and
easily excitable. He also developed itchy skin rashes on his arms and
hands. For two days Michael developed redness on his face and ears.
He also had a lot of diarrhoea which has more or less settled down.
This was the "die off" period.
The improvements we have seen have been most noticeable in his Lovaas
sessions, particularly during the last two weeks when we have noticed
an improvement in his fine motor skills. He learnt to sting buttons
within two days, and he can now cut along a line of approximately 3
inches. Another notable improvement has been in his expressive
labels.
He surprised me one day by expressively labelling five pictures in a
row. This has been a particularly hard programme for Michael, which we
have been struggling with for several months. He has now added
several more expressive labels to his repertoire and I hope this
continues. In general all his learning has improved and his behaviour
appears more sociable.
It is early days with the probiotics, but there have been no other
changes made to his diet or lifestyle, which could account for these
improvements.

What's the evidence for special diets and supplements?
There hasn't been much good research on changing what your child eats or
giving him or her supplements to treat autism.
We found one summary of the research (a systematic review) of diets that cut
out casein and gluten. The review found just two small studies. The studies
showed the diets seemed to help with some symptoms of autism, but not
others. The review's authors said there was not enough good-quality evidence
to say whether or not the diets work.
We found two good-quality studies on vitamin B6 plus magnesium. It didn't
seem to help. But the studies were small. Together, they had only 27
children. So the results aren't reliable.
We didn't find any good-quality studies of fish oil, vitamin A, vitamin C,
probiotics and digestive enzymes as treatments for children with autism.[/quote] |

The Use of Probiotics for Children with Autism
By Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride
We were one of the founder families of the group of parents which
subsequently became PEACH. There were only 30 or so families in the UK
doing ABA Programmes with their children back then in 1996. I remember
our first meeting in London when we decided to form a charity and were
all thinking what name to give it. It seems like a century has passed
since then. Some children have done extremely well, some not as well,
but everybody involved acknowledges how powerful the programme is in
pulling our children out of autism.
Over the years, apart from gaining a lot of knowledge in behaviour
modification we have learned a lot about the biochemistry and
physiology of autism and how to manipulate it with diet and
supplementation. If only we knew then what we know now! We can't turn
the time back for our children. But we can pass this knowledge to
others who have just had the devastating diagnosis of Autism announced
to them. Unfortunately, there will be more and more coming as the
incidence of autism is increasing rapidly.
We have learned that many diseases and conditions including autism
begin with dysfunction in the digestive tract. A crucial part of the
digestive tract are the beneficial bacteria that live there, which
weigh around 1.5kg. Without them we simply can not be healthy. The
functions of normal gut flora, known to science so far, are multiple
and far reaching.
Normal balanced gut bacteria:
· have a protective and barrier role against invasive
pathogenic micro-organisms by producing antibiotic-like substances,
antifungal volatiles (AFV), and surfactins that dissolve the lipid
membrane of envelope viruses and bacteria .
· play a major role in the digestion and absorption of all
nutrients.
· provide a major source of nourishment and energy for the gut
lining.
· synthesise various aminoacids, vitamin K, panthotenic acid,
thiamin, riboflavine, niacin, folic acid, piridoxine, and
cyancobalamine.
· play an important role in recycling of bile acids and normal
cholesterol metabolism.
· play a major immuno-modulating role by stimulating antibody
production, interferon synthesis, and inhibition of IgA degradation

I'm someone who is concerned when I see people presenting opinions as facts
(especially when the authors of articles quoted have an interest in peddling
their own products), and who may end up influencing someone to do more harm
than good.
What's your motivation?
Can you point to a single study that backs up any of your "information"?
Meanwhile, from
http://www.autismsa.org.au/newsletter/articles/article_008.html
Aim: To identify factors influencing caregivers' decisions to implement and
maintain particular interventions. Specifically, the following interventions
were investigated: olive leaf extract, vitamins A, B, C and E,
dimethylglycine (DMG), calcium, iron, magnesium, selenium, zinc, essential
fatty acids, melatonin, colostrum, secretin, probiotics, chelating agents,
glutathione, glutamine and digestive enzymes.
Results: For the majority of interventions, evidence for use in autism was
rated as being either unclear or conflicting. Most interventions were
associated with only mild adverse effects, although there was a lack of
long-term safety data. Doctors were the most common source of
recommendation, yet the majority of interviewees were unaware of reasons why
the intervention was being used.
Conclusion: Health care professionals and caregivers need to be informed
that the use of CAMs (complementary and alternative medicine) in autism is
not risk-free and often lacks sound clinical evidence. |

combination of bacteria very effective in eliminating Candida and
other pathogenic species and restoring normal gut flora. It is used by
many families with autistic children in the UK and Europe with good
results. This probiotic has got strong immuno-stimulating properties.
It has been recorded that people with food intolerance after using Bio-
Kult start tolerating foods they used to be allergic to. This
probiotic also is said to increase absorption of nutrients which
addresses the nutritional deficiency problem of autistic children. Bio-
Kult contains 14 strains of the most effective beneficial bacteria,
including soil bacteria, and is UKAS Laboratory certified at a
strength of 10 Billion Units per Gram. It has been designed with
children in mind, because it is very easy to administer. It dissolves
in drinks without discolouring them, it can be mixed with food, and it
has got a slightly sweet taste. It also complies with all dietary
restrictions being gluten, casein, lactose, yeast, wheat, sugar, salt,
and dairy free, as well as being in vegetable based capsules. I was a
member of the scientific team who formulated this product, and I was
able to bring to it not only my medical and nutritional knowledge, but
also my experience as a parent of a child with autism who from being
diagnosed at three as autistic, is now in mainstream school.

I have a 7,5 years old autistic son. Since we started Bio-Kult, Ronny
became much more affectionate and happy. We have been doing an ABA
programme with him for 2 years now. He has no language but since using
Bio-Kult he started to point at things spontaneously, which he has
never done before, and his understanding of language and what is going
on around him got much better. Before Bio-Kult Ronny was taking
Nystatin for 2 years and every time we tried to stop it he would have
quite violent withdrawal symptoms. Since taking Bio-Kult we were able
to stop Nystatin completely, and the withdrawal of it was amazingly
mild. I recommend Bio-Kult to all my friends with autistic children.
Kerry & Andrew Harris
Our daughter Sophie was diagnosed on the mild end of the Autistic
spectrum
in March 1999.
An ABA programme was commenced in June 1999. Sophie progressed
extremely
well on the programme, showing consistent improvement.
We also commenced a GF/CF diet, which appears to have helped a great
deal
with her language development and concentration skills.
We still however felt that we were "missing something" at that point.
We
had researched the use of probiotics, and when we noticed Cambridge
Probiotics Ltd. in the AIA newsletter, we contacted them immediately.
We were given all of the relevant information required, and at first
decided to try
Primal Defense with Sophie (she has since switched to Bio-Kult with no
transitional problems).
It was straightforward to include into our daily routines, in fact
simple
compared to commencing a GF/CF diet !!!!!! We were warned that Sophie
may
go through a period of irritability and suffer mood swings after about
three weeks.
We were reassured that this was a good sign, that the probiotic was
having
an effect, and that this would not last for long.
This was definitely the case. Sophie was decidedly "out of sorts" for
about three days and since then she has shown increasing improvement
in her
concentration, listening skills and tolerance. We did not inform
anyone (especially her
nursery) about her taking Bio-Kult, as we were keen to establish
whether
there was any objectively noticed improvement, in the absence of any
sort of
"Bias".
We were delighted when the nursery staff reported that Sophie had
shown a
huge improvement in her ability to concentrate, to stay on task and to
tolerate difficult situations. One member of staff enquired: "What
have you done
with her???" This was about six weeks after she had started Bio-kult.
This
has been sustained for four months now. Needless to say, she will
continue taking Bio-kult.
If anyone wishes to contact us about our experiences, please do so via

Dear Natasha
Thank you very much for introducing us to Bio-Kult it is working
really well for Ali. Although we were using primal defense before, but
switching to Bio-Kult helped Ali tremendously. On primal defense Ali
had to take up to 15 capsules a day (Ali cant take capsules we had to
mix the powder with water), and on primal defense his bowel movement
was ok but not consistent.
As for Bio-Kult, Ali takes 6 small capsules a day, the powder has a
pleasant taste and Ali likes it. After a few days on the Bio-Kult
Ali's bowel movements improved so much and now it is normalized. Ali
has been on gluten and milk free diet for more than three years. It
was ok but introducing the Bio-Kult along side the yeast free diet
(high protein and specific carbohydrates diet) worked even better, it
worked extremely well. Ali started putting on weight (4 pounds) and
eating food he would not even touch before, got his rosy cheeks back
(he had them when he was 1 year old) and he started demanding
spontaneously for food, items and anything he needs.
I could not believe it a week ago, Ali started taking his nappy off
indicating he is ready for toilet training, on the first day of
training (this Monday) Ali started demanding to go to wee
spontaneously.
I must admit I was a bit hesitant about using Bio-Kult instead of
primal defense, but now from my own experience it is definitely
working better.
Thank you very much for your help. Ali is now a very happy child and
this is due to your advice and efforts
Re: Michael (Family Name withheld at their request)
Michael has been taking Bio-Kult probiotics for two months. Towards
the end of this time we have seen improvements in Michael. During
these two months we saw a period during which Michael became jumpy and
easily excitable. He also developed itchy skin rashes on his arms and
hands. For two days Michael developed redness on his face and ears.
He also had a lot of diarrhoea which has more or less settled down.
This was the "die off" period.
The improvements we have seen have been most noticeable in his Lovaas
sessions, particularly during the last two weeks when we have noticed
an improvement in his fine motor skills. He learnt to sting buttons
within two days, and he can now cut along a line of approximately 3
inches. Another notable improvement has been in his expressive
labels.
He surprised me one day by expressively labelling five pictures in a
row. This has been a particularly hard programme for Michael, which we
have been struggling with for several months. He has now added
several more expressive labels to his repertoire and I hope this
continues. In general all his learning has improved and his behaviour
appears more sociable.
It is early days with the probiotics, but there have been no other
changes made to his diet or lifestyle, which could account for these
improvements. |

You've copied and pasted material, some of which is not factual, and which I
have challenged. And that is the best you can do?
All you've done is help Natasha Campbell-Bride promote Bio-Kult. And who
helped develop Bio-Kult? Oh, what a surprise... one Natasha Campbell-Bride.
Of course you haven't the time and patience to discuss anything. You don't
understand any of it and you're too busy spamming groups to stop and think
about anything. |
