Fox News Article on Inflammation and Autism
“What we found was when they were on the worm, there was an improvement in three difrent scales that measured rigidity, flexibility or insistence on sameness,” Hollander said. “It turns out people with autism, they’re creatures of routine and habit, and if there’s an unexpected deviation, they tend to get upset and protest… But we got an improvement in three different measures of this, and as a result they were having less protest.”
Hollander noted that while their findings still need to be replicated, both sections of this study help to support the idea that regulating the immune and inflammatory responses in patients with autism may effectively lower their ASD symptoms.
“I think one of the things we’re starting to see is that a number of different genes involved in inflammation response are up-regulated in autism,” Hollander said. “Up until this point, there have been very little efforts to try and address this. So this is kind of exciting, because there are a lot of ways to modulate the immune system, and some of that knowledge can now be applied in terms of developing new treatments.”
I've read about the TSO eggs before and how they help with Autism. I'm happy to see this research being taken seriously. Maybe they can make some advances in treating Autism.
