Treating Autism and Schizophrenia with antibiotics? And it works???
There’s some buzz going around the autism community now about a correlation found between treating bacterial infections with antibiotics and improving autism.“This correlation, which is based on more than one hundred children of European origin, naturally does not prove a causal relationship. However, a therapy first started by a group of independent clinicians and now performed in conjunction with laboratory observations reinforces the idea that systemic bacterial infections play a role in the genesis of symptoms of autism.” In 60 percent of cases, long-term treatment with antibiotics brought significant improvement in autism symptoms, and in some cases even made them go away completely.
The study was made by a Nobel-laureate scientist, Luc Montagnier, MD.
A fascinating article discussing some of his findings also mentions that some schizophrenics found relief from psychotic symptoms when treated with a simple, cheap antibiotic–for acne. Minocycline.
How have we been manipulating the immune system a lot lately? Through vaccines. Could these be part of the story? We really don’t understand how the body works, that’s for sure. Read more here.

I wonder if those with schizophrenia could have had schizophrenia symptoms from Lyme disease, which is treated with the drug Minocycline. Lyme disease copies a lot of stuff.
I was on more antibiotics than a street junkie growing up, and I still developed schizophrenia. If there's anything my family is willing to do, it's drug the sh** out of me. Luckily, I lost my health insurance as a teenager and my body recovered, but you should see my teeth.
My doctors think that in addition to medicine that i need vitamins and lots of them. I have improved from some of them.
You know what though, ma'am, Naltrexone really improved my cognitive abilities. While they aren't stellar, they're better than they were prior, and you can tell by my blog entries. It also calmed me down a lot, and i can relax. They've seen some results with it with autism as well.
For those of us with multiple med allergies and severe intracellular hypertension migraines triggered by many antibiotics, this is one of those 'go figure' moments. More power to the people who can get help.
I didn't read the real article but I fail to see how schizophrenia could have ANYTHING to do with anti-biotics? Maybe I need to enlighten myself but really, from all I know right now, seems like a stream of bullshit...I'll dive into the bullshit when I get back from the gym but the chance of me not punching the computer screen from the stupidity is currently at .000000003425%...
People with mental illnesses get fucked over enough for shitty false information to just float around so freely! Pisses me off...UGH

To the OP: You're entitled to your opinion about those with autism, but when it comes to people with schizophrenia, please refer to them(us) as 'people with schizophrenia', not 'Schizophrenics'. The illness does not define my life so I would like my life to not be defined by the illness. Thank you.
This makes me think of Wilson's disease, which will mimic a mental illness like schizophrenia. Definitely makes you think.
This is the kind of inane BS that got be to unsubscribe from this part of xanga. Autism and schizophrenia are not infectious bacterial illnesses. If you've spent a lot of time in bars, then you know that "buzz" more often correlates with drunkenness than with truth.
