"The one thing about my husband and I...we laugh...A lot. We find a way. We really do. Poop filled sleepless nights, injuries, missed appointments, clutter everywhere, missing paperwork...sometimes all you can do is laugh. But today, looking at the dark circles we've seen so many times under our children's eyes, seeing the suffering, the real genuine human suffering that we have worked for three years to alleviate...to see it reach these depths...there is no laughing today. There is sadness. Even the fight is gone. I should be sleeping, but I have to read up on one of our new remedies. Maybe this will be the one that touches his immune damage and regulates him? Maybe. Maybe, it will work for him like it has for THOUSANDS of other children. Maybe. I can't sleep when this could be it and I could be calling the next doctor tomorrow and we could have one less day of this. Plus, I already have an appointment to see a doctor tomorrow and I will need him to know that I know what I'm talking about. If there is one thing you learn as an autism parent it is that YOU MUST KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT WITH DOCTORS. You must learn to speak their language. If you don't you will get dismissed. Must read, now.



But, before I go, just need to let everyone know the women who work for us are angels from God. They were hurt today. Two of them. In their sweetest voices they kept repeating, "nice hands." And "time to get down monkey" when he climbed on the counter for the 27th time on their shift. He is 50 lbs now. Very fast and very strong. They get him. They see the real Noah in there, fighting like hell. He is mad. In fact, that's what he said in therapy today, "I'm MAD!" His therapists were thrilled. They were so excited to see him emote appropriately. I agree with them, it's encouraging. It's just that, he's mad he's sick. He's mad his head hurts all the time. He's mad his three year old brother can use the toliet and he cannot. He's mad that his body is rebelling against him and everything hurts. He's mad that in addition to not getting to go where everyone else goes and doing all the fun things other 5 year olds do, he also cannot EAT anything they do. It seems cruel doesn't it? It is.

Autism is the cruelest most malicious, devious, conniving, heinous disease. If you fear the chicken pox or diarrhea more you are in big, big trouble. Because I guarantee with the new schedule autism will come a knocking at your door. And it will get in. It finds a way. Sometimes it looks like OCD, sometimes it looks like ADHD, even arthritis. "That's nuts!", you say. Not really. It should all just be called autism. Because any time pharma causes inflammation they don't want you to find out about, they just make up a word for it. Autism. Asthma. ADD. Just made up words for inflammation. Off to read ABOUT AUTISM . It's a good one, you might want to check it out yourself... Much hope for all our beautiful children. xo lj "

Scientists discover mitochondria's role in shaping memory circuits

Scientists discover mitochondria's role in shaping memory circuits
by Virginia Tech

Research led by Shannon Farris, an assistant professor at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC, found a mitochondrial mechanism that helps explain how CA2 neurons, like those highlighted here, function in mice. The research has implications in better understanding memory and social recognition. Credit: Shannon Farris/Virginia Tech
Virginia Tech neuroscientists have uncovered a mitochondrial process that supports the brain cells critical for learning, memory, and social recognition.

Led by Shannon Farris, assistant professor at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC, the research in mouse models examines the hippocampal CA2 region, a specialized area in the brain's memory center essential for social recognition memory.

Published this week in Scientific Reports, the study reveals the critical role of the mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU), a protein that regulates calcium flow into mitochondria, in enabling neurons to strengthen connections. This process, known as synaptic plasticity, is fundamental to cognitive function and adaptive learning.

"Our findings highlight a distinct mitochondrial mechanism that helps explain how CA2 neurons function, which may contribute to its role in social cognition and its vulnerability in certain neurological disorders," Farris said.

A unique role for the CA2 region in social memory
The hippocampal CA2 region is a small but critical hub for social recognition—the ability to remember and distinguish individuals. Unlike neighboring hippocampal regions, CA2 neurons resist certain forms of synaptic plasticity, raising intriguing questions about their specialized function.

Farris and her team discovered that mitochondria in CA2 neurons are not uniform. Instead, their structure and function vary depending on their location within the neuron. Mitochondria in the farthest reaches of the dendrites of neurons—at the outermost synaptic input connections—are highly specialized and depend heavily on MCU to control their activity.

To explore this, the researchers deleted the MCU gene in CA2 neurons of genetically engineered mice. This caused a disruption in plasticity at the outermost synapses, while those closer to the cell body were unaffected.

"This suggests that mitochondrial diversity isn't just a biological quirk," said Farris. "It's a fundamental feature that allows different parts of the same neuron to function in distinct ways."

Potential implications for Alzheimer's, autism spectrum disorder
Mitochondrial dysfunction is increasingly recognized as a major contributor to neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, autism, schizophrenia, and depression.

Synapses need a lot of energy to stay connected and process information. When mitochondria don't work properly, it can disrupt the functional capacity of these cell-cell communications channels, leading to problems with thinking and memory.

It is known that the most distal outermost synapses are among the first synaptic connections affected in Alzheimer's disease. The findings suggest that MCU's function in CA2 neurons may contribute to this initial weakness, offering potential insight into why this circuit is particularly susceptible to neurodegeneration.

Shannon Farris, assistant professor at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC, led a team that recently published research in Scientific Reports examining a specialized area in the brain's memory center essential for social recognition memory. Credit: Clayton Metz/Virginia Tech
"Understanding why mitochondria in CA2 neurons are different—and how they fail—could help us design therapies to protect or restore function in specific brain regions," Farris said.

Beyond Alzheimer's, the study raises broader questions about how mitochondrial diversity might influence other neurological disorders. The ability of neurons to fine-tune mitochondrial properties could be a critical factor in understanding autism, where CA2 dysfunction could be linked to the known social deficits that occur in this spectrum.

Decoding mitochondrial function in neural circuits
This study advances understanding of mitochondrial biology and overcomes a technical hurdle in assessing mitochondria in dense and diverse brain tissues, the researchers said.

Using electron microscopy and artificial intelligence to unbiasedly identify only the dendritic mitochondria within the densely packed synaptic layer, Farris's team mapped mitochondrial structure in CA2 neuron dendrites at high spatial resolution with extreme precision over millimeter expanses of tissue. The analysis revealed that MCU-deficient mitochondria were smaller and more fragmented, a structural shift that may underlie their impaired ability to support synaptic function.

More broadly, the study challenges the long-held assumption that mitochondria work the same way throughout all parts of the neuron. Instead, neurons may actively modify mitochondrial properties to optimize function at specific synapses, a concept that could reshape our understanding of neural energy regulation and plasticity.

My father who served our country and our Lord died February 6, 2013. I went to see him in the hospital on February 3 just after midnight and slipped in the hospital parking lot on black ice and broke my ankle and tore all the tendons around the ankle and was in the emergency room of that same hospital. I had a very brief meeting with him on that morning that I don't much recall, but did not get to speak to him hardly at all and did not remember what did take place as any of it as I was on Dilaudid.

He thought things about my wife and family that were not so and I wanted to explain things to him, but I ran out of time. There are too many tragedies for one life in my world. I was in hospital in Louisville, KY awakening from surgery on my ankle when they told me my dear father had died.

I never thought about the words so much, but they match what goes on with autism.

I would say that there is inflammation of their brains, and additional strep infections or even covid can cause inflammation levels to go higher, for those already with a tendency toward inflammation after the vaccines messed up their immune cells.

Dr. John Campbell did several podcast on mast cell activation syndrome after several of his guest mentioned that they had been diagnosed with that after a covid vaccine. Kyle Warner the mountain bike racer was one of them. He then interviewed a doctor Tina -- Peers I think was her name.

NLRP3 inflammasome-mitochondrion loop in autism spectrum disorder

Abstract
"Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by deficits in social communication and the presence of restricted interests and repetitive behavior. To date, no single cause has been demonstrated but both genetic and environmental factors are believed to be involved in abnormal brain development. In recent years, immunological and mitochondrial dysfunctions acquired particular interest in the study of the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology of ASD. For this reason, our study focused on evaluating the mitochondrial component and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, a critical player of the innate immune system. The assembly of NLRP3 with ASC mediates activation of Caspase-1, which in turn, by proteolytic cleavage, activates Gasdermin D and the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β/IL-18 with their subsequent secretion. Using primary fibroblasts of autistic and control patients we studied basal and stimulated conditions. Specifically, LPS and ATP were used to activate the NLRP3 inflammasome and MCC950 for its inhibition. In addition, FCCP was used as a mitochondrial stressor and MitoTEMPO as a scavenger of mitochondrial ROS. Our results showed a hyperactivation of NLRP3 inflammasome in ASDs, as evidenced by the co-localization of the two main components, NLRP3 and ASC, by the higher levels of ASC specks, oligomers and dimers and by the increased amounts of active Caspase-1 and IL-1β. In addition, increased mitochondrial superoxide anion and reduced mitochondrial membrane potential were detected in ASD cells. These data are in accordance with the abnormal mitochondrial morphology evidenced by transmission electron microscopy analysis. Interestingly, NLRP3 inflammasome inhibition with MCC950 improved mitochondrial parameters, while the use of MitoTEMPO, in addition to decrease mitochondrial ROS production, was able to prevent NLRP3 inflammasome activation suggesting for the first time an abnormal bidirectional crosstalk between mitochondria and NLRP3 inflammasome in ASD."

Circulating MicroRNAs and Cytokines Associated with Celiac Disease

"Results: A significant dysregulation of these molecular players in patients with CD compared with healthy controls has been evidenced by results from this study. For instance, miR-155 was up-regulated, whereas miR-15b was significantly down-regulated in CD, illustrating their roles in immune responses and inflammation-mediated processes. Besides, there was an over-expression of IL-2 and an under-expression of IL-37 in patients with CD, indicating these biomolecules' role in immuno-dysregulation and inflammatory process underlying CD. In addition, a positive correlation between IL-2 and miRNA 155 expression levels was observed in patients with CD, suggesting that they could be involved together with other cytokines, showing the interplay between immune response pathways and inflammatory cascades during CD pathogenesis.

Conclusion: These molecular signature discoveries might result in new and revolutionary diagnostic modalities and molecular-targeted therapies for CD pathogenesis. When used with the scientific understanding of miRNAs and cytokines associated with CD pathophysiology, it creates a basis for personalized medicine based on the individualized molecular profile of all patients. This will undoubtedly increase the efficacy of CD treatment strategies. In brief, more research on molecular pathways' workings should be done to harness their potential in CD diagnosis and treatment."

"Genetic Signature of a Healthy Lifestyle: New Horizons for Preventing Noncommunicable Chronic Diseases by Modulating MicroRNA-155

Abstract
The development and progression of several noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are associated with microRNA (miR) 155 (miR-155) activation, which promotes inflammation and oxidative stress. In particular, miR-155 regulates nuclear transcription factor-kappa B (NF-κB) by silencing gene expression of proteins involved in NF-κB suppression, such as suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1) and SH-2 containing inositol 5' polyphosphate 1 (SHIP1), increases the production of reactive oxygen species, and suppresses gene expression of antioxidant enzymes through nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) inhibition. In this context, a healthy lifestyle based on a diet rich in nutrients and bioactive compounds as well as regular physical activity may modulate the activity of several miRs. Following this concept, studies involving nutrients, bioactive compounds, and physical activity have been developed to modulate miR-155 activation. This narrative review aims to discuss how a healthy lifestyle based on a diet rich in nutrients, bioactive compounds, and physical activity may modulate the miR-155 pathway and consequently prevent the development and progression of NCDs. Nutrients and bioactive compounds from food may act by inhibiting pathways that promote miR-155 activation such as NF-κB and promote activation of pathways that are associated with the downregulation of miR-155, such as Nrf2, and SOCS1 pathways. Regular physical activity also seems to influence miR-155 levels through an improvement in the immune system during muscle recovery. There is relevant evidence that shows a positive effect of nutrients, bioactive compounds, and physical activity with the modulation of miR-155, which can potentially provide benefits in the clinical setting in cases of NCDs."

Migraines are common in autistic adults, particularly women.

There many kinds of headaches, and migraine headaches are much more common among autistic adults (42%) than the general population (10%). As with the general population, females are three times more likely than males to experience migraines, so autistic females are especially prone to these types of headaches.

Expression of miR-155 in monocytes of people with migraine: association with phenotype, disease severity and inflammatory profile

Results: miR-155 gene expression was higher in CM-MO group (2.68 ± 2.47 Relative Quantification - RQ) when compared to EM group (1.46 ± 0.85 RQ, p = 0.006) and HCs (0.44 ± 0.18 RQ, p = 0.001). In addition, miR-155 gene expression was higher in EM group when compared to HCs (p = 0.001). A multivariate analysis confirmed the difference between EM and CM-MO groups after correction for age, sex, smoking habit, preventive treatment, aura, presence of psychiatric or other pain conditions. We found higher gene expression of IL-1β, TNF-α, and lower gene expression of IL-10 in migraine participants when compared to HCs (p = 0.001 for all comparisons). TNF-α and IL-10 genes alterations were more prominent in CM-MO when compared to EM participants (p = 0.001). miR-155 positively correlated with IL-1β (p = 0.001) and TNF-α (p = 0.001) expression levels. Finally, in people with CM-MO, we described an up-regulated percentage of events in both M1 and M2 monocytic profiles.

Conclusions: Our study shows for the first time a specific profile of activation of miR-155 gene expression levels in monocytes of selected migraine subpopulations, more pronounced in subjects with CM-MO. Interestingly, mir-155 expression correlated with markers of activation of the inflammatory and immune systems. The CM-MO subpopulation showed a peculiar increase of both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory monocytes which worths further investigation.

Benedetta,

I am required to enter email to read the Mercola piece. I resist this demand and don't like this approach. I have read or watched the majority of Dr. Moulden's productions. A lot of truth, but for subsets and particulars in my view. I regard the work, and have alluded to strokes in my posts. But the total picture is much larger for most.

In the last post I mentioned https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8QmkDzD8Sk and this led to M. Jacksons https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_D3VFfhvs4.

Then I said: and this because of the relationship, but only of his talent. This related to M. Jacksons later creation. This the talent I meant to refer to in the following.

Nick;
Dr. Mercola had an article today written by the Midwestern Doctor. That is the name he writes under.

He said there were three ways that vaccine harms.
The third way he dwelled on the most and he called it zeta.

He says that vaccines with stuff like aluminum, or the spike proteins have a positive charge.
Positive charges causes clumping of the blood cells, starting with the capillaries right on up to the bigger veins and stuff.

Kawasaki is just that Thank you for the information on that.

He goes into all the little microstrokes that can be had, that effects not just the body, but every organ.

It was a good article. Let me link here for you.

The energy of the meaning of impulses of life flow can be grasped in a synchronous flow.

I read this report when first released, but I have lost enthusiasm for trying to be relevant in the discussion. It is pleasing to see Cohen take such a direction in focus. My wife had/has astigmatism. A year after I started her on a regimen of biomedical intervention she went back to the eye doctor, who for the first time, commented with some surprise that her astigmatism had notably improved. That had not happened before. While vertigo is listed, and my wife deals with it, it did not become more of a problem until she was at a point I felt she had "recovered". At least recovered to the extent I believed possible. Celiac, in the report , is discounted as not of meaning after know family heritage of the condition, though I find that a prominent indicator or related element to other whet intolerance, in a subset. I have found gene ties with
Ehler-Danlos Syndrome with my wife. I have documented in this thread many of the conditions listed in the report as related to autism though one my wife has that is reported as involved for many is Reynaud's. My wife also had migraine, constipation, psoriasis, tinnitus, PMS, gastric reflux, a degree of urinary incontinence{mainly gone since intervention, chronic fatigue, some blurred vison with migraine. Another aspect for my wife was multiple chemical sensitivity. This is maybe still the most suspect condition in the medical community. It is real. I have also long ago posted that my wife's system was effected including all organs at some level.

Increased rates of chronic physical health conditions across all organ systems in autistic adolescents and adults

Several conditions remained significant after accounting for our demographic variables, alcohol use, smoking, BMI, and family history of the condition. These include: irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), gastric reflux, GI tract hernias, gallbladder disease, gallstones, chronic diarrhoea, chronic constipation, haemorrhoids, GI polyps, polycystic ovarian syndrome (females only), premenstrual tension (females only), endometriosis (females only), carpal tunnel syndrome, slipped discs, hypermobility (females only), Ehler-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) (females only), migraine, epilepsy (females only), syncope, vertigo, chronic fatigue syndrome, astigmatism, blurred vision, amblyopia, tinnitus, mouth ulcers, temporomandibular joint syndrome, urinary incontinence, iron deficiency anaemia, eczema, psoriasis, and acne. Autistic people had significantly higher risk of coeliac’s disease when adjusting for demographics, alcohol use, smoking, and BMI, but this finding became non-significant after accounting for family history.

https://molecularautism.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13229-023-00565-2

I find the aspect of chemical and toxic contributions important, but they are not they are a part and not the whole cause or result.

Still I appreciate this report and it includes Reynaud's. I also links mast cells, allergies, xenobiotics, and possible drug intolerance to the mix

From a board posting of a mother about her daughter.

"My daughter's results showed homozygous mutations in:

VDR Bsm

MTRR A66G

SOD2 A16V

Which I'm guessing means to supplement with Vitamins B12 and D??? I don't really know what else to do. What kind of doctor could help look at this stuff or is it all up to us.... (as usual).....

"And the heterozygous mutations were in:

COMT v158M

COMTH62H

MAO A R297R

MTHFR C677T

MTR A2756G

BHMT-04

BHMT-08

CYP2D6 S486T

CYP2D6 2850C>T

NAT2 K268R

Strong in Thy strength, safe in Thy keeping tender.
We rest on Thee, and in Thy Name we go.

Yea, in Thy Name, O Captain of salvation!
In Thy dear Name, all other names above;
Jesus our Righteousness, our sure Foundation,
Our Prince of glory and our King of love.

We go in faith, our own great weakness feeling,
And needing more each day Thy grace to know:
Yet from our hearts a song of triumph pealing;
We rest on Thee, and in Thy Name we go.

Thine is the battle, Thine shall be the praise
When reigning in the Kingdom of Thy splendor;

I visited her in Canada while dating though she has no memory of it. I still honor Canadians because of this, I so loved the work of Gordon before I met her, but he helped form me. God speed Gordon.
