Neuro-Diversity, Food Allergies & A Major Breakthrough*

9/15/2022

 
Conjecture

Food allergies can be a not so innocuous source of
INFLAMMATION.

Further, people with FOOD ALLERGIES are more subject to PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS ---

AND

Neuro-Diverse people are more vulnerable to FOOD ALLERGIES & PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS.

One of the BIG KEYS to this is ---
IT'S DEVELOPMENTAL

Another BIG KEY is that ---
IT'S A MIXED BAG

Third Big Key -- The MIXED BAG of NEURO-DIVERSITY is EXPOSING "UNCONSCIOUS BIAS" like perhaps nothing else could.

5 Methods to Fix Picky Eating With Your Autistic Child

Some new research shows that allergies are linked to autism. Food allergies can make behavioral symptoms worse, in part because your child may feel uncomfortable and not know how to communicate this effectively.

Autism has also been linked to immune system problems, gastrointestinal issues, and changes to gut microbes, which may be due to sensitivity to certain foods or even food allergies.

*Food Allergies Can Be Reversed by Targeting the Microbiome

Summary: Researchers developed polymeric micelles of butyrate, a bacterial compound made by healthy a microbiome, that is effective against peanut allergies in mice.

Although many people with dietary allergies experience mild symptoms when exposed to triggering foods, some face potentially fatal consequences. A bacterial compound called butyrate that’s made by healthy microbiomes has shown promise against allergic reactions in lab tests, but it’s nasty to take orally.


Today, scientists describe a more palatable way to deliver this compound and report that their “polymeric micelles” are effective against peanut allergies in mice.

The treatment could someday counteract many types of food allergies and inflammatory diseases.

PHYSIOLOGICAL CORRELATIONS WITH GIFTEDNESS -- Gro-gifted.org

Especially when we focus on the highly and profoundly gifted population, we see a higher incidence of anxiety, depression, introversion, as well as a higher incidence of certain medical conditions than is found among the general population. For instance, clinicians associated with GRO have seen higher incidence of the following among highly and profoundly gifted individuals in their practice:

Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS)
Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections (PANDAS)
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS)
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

    Neuro-Diversity
    Wednesday

    (with variable spellings of Neurodiversity)


    NEURODIVERSITY  is BLURRED. 

    What people are keying off of is:  EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING DIFFERENCES or DEFICITS --- and saying "Hey, that's me."

    BUT they are also saying:  "Hey, I've got some BIG TIME STRENGTHS and I need those recognized too."
