Today we will be discussing new scientific articles explaining the relationship between alterations in gut bacteria and the development of Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis). While we are aware that Eczema can be a multifactorial illness that is sometimes triggered by environmental sensitivities, the newest data is suggesting that these hyperactive immune responses are secondary at least in part due to inflammation at the gastrointestinal interface.

Last week we discussed how there is increased scientific support for there being an autoimmune component for those who suffer with chronic Lyme related symptoms.  We appreciated the feedback from our viewers, and there appeared to be question and confusion among those living with chronic Lyme related symptoms as to whether there is an immune deficient component to the illness.  In today's broadcast we will survey the scientific articles where these assertions came from, address controversy related to these assertions, and look at some of the newest articles on the topic.

Today we will be talking about Chronic Lyme Disease (also referred to as Post Lyme Disease Syndrome and Post Lyme Disease Treatment Syndrome).  Upwards of 10% of individuals infected by the Lyme spirochete have persistent symptoms though many have been through courses of antibiotics.  Though autoimmunity was hypothesized as a cause of persistent Lyme Disease symptoms following Borrelia infection, now it has been confirmed to be present in those suffering with persistent symptoms of Lyme Disease.  Today we will go over new data and older research articles examining the relationships between the infectious trigger and the resultant autoimmune responses that ensue.

Today we will be discussing scientific literature examining alterations in gastrointestinal bacteria for those with Autism Spectrum Disorders versus normal individuals.  This was prompted by a Wall Street Journal article examining the powerful effects of gastrointestinal microbes on systemic diseases and health.  This article received a letter to the editor refuting the relationship between gastrointestinal bacteria especially in its relation to autism.  In today's broadcast we are citing several scientific journal articles that are demonstrating a microbial link to autism.  On http://powerhealthtalk.com one can find references from several scientific journals.
