Autism, Dysbiosis, and the Gut-Brain Axis

By now, enough articles have been published in modern peer-reviewed research to establish what naturopathic/integrative clinicians have observed for decades: that autism has a major gastrointestinal component, and that addressing/correcting the gastrointestinal dysbiosis of autism leads to substantial clinical improvement.

My own contribution to the advancement of this science was published in the following chapter, articles, books, videos:

  • 2006 book chapter and journal article: “We now know that autism is a multifaceted disorder associated with gastrointestinal inflammation, nutritional deficiencies, multiple food allergies and intolerances, impairments in liver detoxification and resultant accumulation of xenobiotics, the majority of which have neurotoxic and/or immunotoxic effects. Thus, autism is not a behavioral disorder per se; rather, it is a gastrointestinal-allergic-immunological-toxicant-nutritional-environmental disorder, and the behavioral/cognitive abnormalities are symptoms of the underlying complex and interconnected pathophysiology.”  Vasquez A. Web-like interconnections of physiological factors. Integrative Medicine 2006

  • 2017 top-tier journal publication: Dr Alex Vasquez. Biological plausibility of the gut-brain axis in autism. Ann N Y Acad Sci 2017 Nov;1408(1):5-6. doi: 10.1111/nyas.13516 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29090837

  • I published a summary of all that information in a small book titled “Autism, Dysbiosis, and the Gut-Brain Axis” but I see now that the book is no longer available through Amazon which could be a result of censorship or could be a result of other “problems” with my previous Amazon account. Clearly, my Antiviral Nutrition book was censored for political reasons but I think the lack of availability of some of my other books right now is due to an indirect form of censorship which Amazon has created by crippling my original Amazon account. Probably next year in 2023, I will update and republish several of my smaller books but obviously by using a publisher which doesn’t politically censor information in the same way that Amazon does.

The video series outlined below extends from the book “Human Microbiome and Dysbiosis in Clinical Disease” (2015) which is included in the larger textbook Chapter 4 of Inflammation Mastery: Textbook of Clinical Nutrition and Functional Medicine.
