Reminding You of a 53 year old Woman Rescued from the TNF alpha Prison: and other published literature.

This is the most noteworthy case –report I think I have ever read. It is on a par, even more impressive than the case report on spironolactone case I reported a few years ago.

So she received a specific anti-TNF therapy and made significant cognitive recovery.

I selected spironolactone because it was well documented to reduce TNF-alpha.  I knew about Chez’ findings.

In addition the child gained 2 years of language on specific language testing.  So here are two separate drugs acting on TNF-alpha showing significant benefits for language and social issues in ASD. 

Let’s add one more study to this.

Pioglitazone is a powerful inhibitor of NF kappa B and that means it reduces TNF alpha. Here is what it did for children with autism.

With that I will let you work on these concepts.  Clearly TNF alpha is a serious issue for many children with ASD.
