New! CytoFlora is Bioray's most recent addition to its impressive arsenal of supportive natural health building remedies. More impressive are the initial findings that indicate tremendous bowel support. According to their press release in May 2009, "CytoFlora has been shown in clinical testing to correct microbial imbalances, drive pathogens out of the gastrointestinal tract and assist re-colonization of healthy bowel flora. Improving digestive health is imperative for those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Research suggests a strong link between characteristics of ASD and impaired digestion, particularly with foods containing gluten and casein."
How does it work? It is believed to modulate the gut immune system. According to their study, both IgA (Immunoglobulin A) and IgM (Immunoglobulin M) were elevated at the beginning of the study. At the end of the study, 35 days later, IgA levels decreased 55% and IgM levels decreased 27%. When IgA and IgM are elevated, it suggests an immune response to pathogens and a possible link to "leaky gut". When parents of the study participants were asked to complete the Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist, the results after 20 days taking CytoFlora indicated a 30% overall improvement.
