Anchor:

THE CDC (website - news) CONTINUES TO SAY THE MERCURY THAT USED TO BE IN

CHILDHOOD VACCINES IS NOT THE CAUSE OF AUTISM. BUT SOME PARENTS ARE SO SURE

THE GOVERNMENT IS WRONG THAT THEY ARE TREATING THEIR AUTISTIC CHILDREN BY

DETOXIFYING THEIR BODIES OF MERCURY.

ONE LOCAL MOM SAYS THIS NEW APPROACH HAS CURED HER CHILD OF AUTISM AND SHE'S

NOT ALONE. MEDICAL REPORTER KATHY FOWLER JOINS US WITH THIS CONTRAVERSIAL

TREATMENT.

Kathy Fowler on Set:

CURE -THAT'S A STRONG WORD WHEN IT COMES TO AUTISM. PARENTS SAY CURE.

THE DOCTOR WHO DEVELOPED THIS PROCEDURE WON'T CALL IT A CURE. SHE DOES SAY

SHE'S GETTING CHILDREN OUT OF THE AUTISM SPECTRUM. BUT TONIGHT CRITICS ARE

CALLING THIS NEW TREATMENT EXPERIMENTAL AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS.

Story:

Holsworth : " He would never look at you in the face never reacted to

you calling his name. "

KRISTIN HOLSWORTH IS TALKING ABOUT HER SON TROY... SHE KNEW SOMETHING

WASN'T RIGHT AND HER FEARS WERE CONFIRMED WHEN TROY WAS DIAGNOSED AS

SEVERELY AUTISTIC AT 18 MONTHS OLD. DOCTORS SAID TROY, WOULD LIKELY NEVER

SPEAK, FEED HIMSELF OR GO TO SCHOOL.

Holsworth " A part of me died that day because I thought I would

never hear him smile or laugh or enjoy anything in life. "

DESPERATE FOR HELP, KRISTIN TURNED TO RICHMOND PEDIATRICAN MARY MEGSON, WHO

ENDED UP DIAGNOSING TROY NOT WITH AUTISM BUT AS BEING MERCURY POISONED FROM

THIMERISOL - A MERCURY BASED INGREDIENT USED IN A VACCINE KRISTEN RECEIVED

WHILE PREGNANT AND A VACCINE TROY RECEIVED AT 18 MONTHS.

DOCTOR MEGSON TREATED TROY WITH NUTRITIONAL THERAPIES AND A PROCESS CALLED

CHELATION. CHELATION USES DOSES OF STRONG MEDICINE TO PULL TOXIC METALS

FROM THE BODY.

Dr. Megson : " We're seeing children all over the country improve as we

pull heavy metals from their body-some of the children. "

BUT CHELATIN IS CONSIDERED RADICAL, EVEN DANGEROUS BY SOME DOCTORS BECAUSE

THE POWERFUL MEDICINE NOT ONLY GETS RID OF HEAVY METALS BUT ALSO ROBS A

CHILD OF THE HEALTHY MINERALS THEY ABSOLUTELY NEED.

DR SUSAN SWEDO OF NIMH SAYS " IT ISN'T RESPONSIBLE TO PRECRIBE CHELATION FOR

AUTISM. "

BUT DESPERATE PARENTS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD ARE FLOCKING TO MEGSON WHO

WARNS THIS IS NOT A ONE-SIZE-FITS ALL APPROACH- AND SHE EMPHASIZES

NUTRITIONAL AND MEDICAL SOLUTIONS NEED TO BE SPECIFICALLY TAILORED TO EACH

CHILD'S NEEDS.

Dr Megson/ Pediatrician: " What helps one child -for example a change

in the diet-one child might have a dramatic improvement-the next child might

have a dramatic improvement if you pull heavy metals out of their body- it's

different for each one of these children. "

WORLD REKNOWNED AUTISM EXPERT DOCTOR STANLEY GREENSPAN ISN'T NECESSARILY

OPPOSED TO CHELATION AS LONG AS PARENTS DON'T GIVE UP ON THE BEHAVIORAL

TREATMENTS.

Dr. Stanley Greenspan/ Child Psychiatrist: " You can't make blanket

statements like you shouldn't try any unproven approaches because we do all

the time. Each family has to make that decision with their professional

team.

BUT KRISTEN HOLSWORTH SAYS SHE ALREADY HAS THE PROOF SHE NEEDS. TODAY

DOCTORS SAY TROY IS OUT OF THE AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER.

Holsworth: " My biggest worry was that my older son was going to have

to take care of him and I know now that both of my children are going to

live full lives. My son is cured. "

Kathy Fowler on Set:

TWO IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMIND PARENTS... CHELATION IS NOT FDA APPROVED AND

SOME DOCTORS IN THE U.S. HAVE BEEN ACCUSED OF HARMING CHILDREN BY USING

CHELATION. ALSO THIMERISOL - THE MERCURY BASED PRESERVATIVE HAS BEEN

REMOVED FROM MOST CHILDREN'S VACCINES WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE FLU SHOT AND

DOCTORS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE MERCURY IN VACCINE CONTRAVERY CONTINUE TO

STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF VACCINATION.

This is hot stuff! What i would like to see is the FDA and the

pharmaceutical company busted. I would like to see the faces of

Americans when they are told the truth about the extent of damage that

was done to their children because the FDA and big pharma was in bed

together. How are government has failed them and how they have known

but have hid the facts. I'd like to see them finally realize that as

long as we are governed by men instead of God we will continue to

suffer.

Connie,

I completely agree. Justice needs to be served. The thing that got me

thinking was that the child got better!!!! I don't really know much about

chelation but if getting rid of the mercury brings the children back or at

least better then that's a miracle. Wow!!

Jim

It's very exciting.
