Autism and Leaky Gut: Often Together

by Dr Charles Parker on June 24, 2007 · 2 comments

Thanks for your continued interest in evolving mind/body science! I appreciate your company out here -

If we do any work ASD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, we really must know gut physiology.

Just looking further at Autism Info and thought we should review some of their comments on this remarkably common presentation. And – you don’t have to have autism to have a significant leaky gut.

The leaky gut syndrome is the name given to a very common health disorder in which the basic organic defect (lesion) is an intestinal lining which is more permeable (porous) than normal. The abnormally large spaces present between the cells of the gut wall allow the entry of toxic material into the bloodstream that would, in healthier circumstances, be repelled and eliminated. The gut becomes leaky in the sense that bacteria, fungi, parasites and their toxins, undigested protein, fat and waste normally not absorbed into the bloodstream in the healthy state, pass through a damaged, hyperpermeable, porous or "leaky gut."

You can be leaky with leaking fecal material into your peritoneal cavity.

Constipation or diarrhea, it doesn’t matter, that bowel, the first line sewage treatment plant, is rusty if not broken.

And if it isn’t working, who picks up the slack with all that trash? Your liver. And if your liver continues to try to handle all that mess for a long period of time… one significant result: a bulletproof liver, noted here at CorePsychBlog previously.

Bulletproof liver? Even the supplements won’t work – much less any psych meds – to control behavior.

FDA, SSRIs & Suicide: Problems do exist

by Dr Charles Parker on December 13, 2006 · 2 comments

Yes, the FDA should look at suicide with SSRI treatment. The SSRIs should not be reviewed, however, with a categorical directive – to come to a conclusion regarding: are they “good or bad?”

Way to simple! – and SSRIs are saving lives everyday. So why should the FDA look at suicide in adults – and just what is the problem?

SSRIs are predictably bad if the comorbid, associated, diagnosis is not recognized and not treated in the correct sequence. What a mouthful. But those of you on board with CorePsychBlog missives already have heard this theme. Problems with good meds: one of my favorite subjects, has been for more than 15 years. And now I have seen thousands of SPECT scans that verify the challenges we face in finding the correct multiple diagnoses. Get it all right and SSRIs are not a problem. Pictures speak louder than words. But first an outline of the problems.
