You sound like you are really on top of the situation and exploring a lot of enlightening avenues. Every week it seems like I come upon a new health scenario that is impacted by immune balance. Yours is extremely interesting and promising. Best of success with your son's progress and your wonderful, caring work. Thanks Terri, for the comment and for the detail on your son’s journey.

My son (5 years old) has Autism and has severe leaky gut and almost no NK cell reactivity (as of June that is). We started Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) which is a safe, non-toxic, non-addicting immune modulator. Wow! His overall health has improved, of course we are working very hard on gut health as priority #1 but the overall immune support helps that as well. We've added in fermented foods like kombucha and soon homemade sauerkraut and of course nightly probiotics, heavy duty ones given his challenges. He had invasive yeast and clostridia bacteria. As we clean that up and his overall gut situation, his symptoms of Autism are fading. Amazing! But, more people than not probably have some of the same issues, just not to the same symptomatic level as my son. Our American diet is so awful as is our desire to reach for antibiotics at the drop of a hat. Great blog!! We are living this right now!
