She saw their brains were swollen and inflamed on biopsies with these kids got killed on a car accident or something. And see these brains are just full of inflammatory cells and the immune cells, the white blood cells called the glia. And she also called what they have a metabolic encephalopathy. she said that autism is not a brain disorder, it's a systemic disorder that affects the brain.

And that's what I hear you saying, that psychiatric illness, for the most part, is a systemic disorder that affects the brain. And the causes can be many. It could be your diet, it could be your microbiome. But I was with a gentleman this weekend whose family was a Hungarian Jew whose family was killed in the Holocaust. He says, I don't know, 150 members of my family were killed in the Holocaust.

I don't know everybody's name. And I've lived in a constant state of trauma and stress my whole life. And, you know, I was like, wow, this is the epigenetics of this.

And Scientific American just came out with a paper, not a paper, but an article documenting some of the research in New York after 9-11 where they saw women who were pregnant when 9-11 happened, their children were incredibly affected by epigenetics.

the stress and trauma that happened to the mothers when they were pregnant and was registered in gene expression patterns and epigenetics and in cortisol levels and cortisol receptor function. And I was like, wow, this data is really coming along in this. So there's a lot of things that can affect it.

But often the psychiatric problems are so misdiagnosed and mistreated, honestly, and it creates so much suffering. And so what you're talking about is really a revolution.

Yeah, it's so true because I was reflecting on a guest we had on a previous podcast who's a pediatric neurologist, trained at Harvard, Oxford. She works at University of San Diego now. And she did brain imaging, functional MRI imaging of the brain in autistic kids and found they had energy problems, that mitochondrial energy deficits were evident in the brain of autistic kids.
