UPDATE: A majority of Autistic children have excessive yeast or Candida. Through initial research of problems associated with Candida in Autistic children, I am beginning to see that there might also be a possible correlation between refined sugar in the diet of those with all kinds of neurological dysfunctions.

ADD/ADHD, Hyperactivity, Brain Fog and other neurological problems? Aloe Vera is mentioned in the study below as a possible anti-fungal for Candida but I can now see that avoiding sugar laden products is important as well. I suspect that sugar acts as a neurotoxin to those with a genetic perdisposition to having neurological dysfuctions or those who have become neurologically damaged from vaccines with mercury or other exposures to mercury or lead. I have been taking about two ounces of aloe vera for my brain fog for over a week now and have not recognized any improvement yet. I have begun having some just slightly recognizable nausea. Perhaps it is from Candida Die-Off?
In any case, I am going to stay the course and from this research I will try to avoid sugary foods as much as possible.


" Yeast - because of the reasons mentioned previously, overgrowth of yeast happens in the majority of these kids[kids with Autism]. The byproducts of yeast overgrowth are toxic to the Autistic child. One must control yeast by diet (there are many books on yeast-free diets... Most importantly, avoid sugar-laden foods!"

In Autism, many children are picky eaters. Even if they are not, they often lack necessary enzymes and liver function to digest and absorb properly.

HIGH SUGAR INTAKE STIMULATES YEAST GROWTH, WHICH IN TURN PRODUCE
VARIOUS ORGANIC ACIDS THAT AFFECT BRAIN. In urine tests, these acids are very high in autistics compares with typical children.
The yeast die-off (Herxheimer effect) may cause regression for about
four days before positive results start.

OTC anti-fungals include MCT (coconut) oil, garlic, oregano (not oil), oral aloe vera, goldenseal, pau d'arco, and grapefruit seed extract.


Benefits of ridding autistics of yeast include better focus, less
hyperactivity, better sleep, more spoken words, improved socialization, and reduction in aggressive and self-injurious behavior.
