Video: Watch the Story
Doctors at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore say that when the mother
of an autistic child is pregnant her immune system develops antibodies
that can attack the unborn baby's brain,�just like antibodies do when
they fight off a virus or infection. They say these
antibodies can go through the placenta and cause inflammation in the
baby's�brain. The study was done with human mothers' antibodies put in
mice which caused the newborn mouse pups to act autistic.
Doctors in the study caution that they are comparing mice and humans,
but still there was strong evidence that the pups were affected and had
autistic traits. Since autism is so complex they say this may be only
one of several factors involved in the condition. The study is in the
April Journal of Neuroimmunology. Also, if you suffer
from fibromyalgia, ask your doctor about this new study: Stanford
University doctors tested a drug that is used to treat drug and alcohol
addiction on people with Fibromyalgia. They found that it helped
relieve pain and fatigue by 30 percent in some patients. Some people
even came off of all other medications and went back to work.
But the doctors caution it was a small study and they are moving into a
bigger study on more people. The drug they are using in the studies is
a low dose of Naltrexone. And finally, there's a way to
help your allergies this spring,�meditate.��A new study finds when you
are under stress your allergies can be much worse.
