Good medical news emerged yesterday in the form of a UK Daily Mail article headlined, “Scientists discover 'exciting' link between autism and gut bacteria.” They are so close.
The article reported on a new Hong Kong study published this week in Nature Microbiology titled, “Multikingdom and functional gut microbiota markers for autism spectrum disorder.”
Back in the 1990’s, Dr. Andrew Wakefield was hounded out of medicine for claiming that autism was caused by childhood vaccines destroying essential gut bacteria. Like the doctor who removed the well pump handle to stop a cholera epidemic, Wakefield will never get his good reputation back. Just forget about it.
They will never ever admit the jab connection. But now that a mechanism of injury has been identified, there might be new hope to somehow treat kids and adults injured by baffling, mysterious, unidentified “environmental factors.”
In any case, they are on the right track now. In the study referenced by the Mail’s article, researchers did ‘fecal transplants’ between autistic humans and mice. The mice became autistic.
Here’s a link to another, similar study published in the Journal Cell back in 2019. It’s taken five years to break into the mainstream. Now, somebody just needs to figure out what “environmental factor” is wrecking kids’ gut bacteria.
Completely unrelated, vaccine manufacturers are not currently required to study the effect of childhood vaccines on microbiota. Maybe they should be? Just asking.
