Joe,

He did not link autism to vaccinations. I do not think he even

knew when he started doing this in the early 1990's that thimerosal

was in vaccines. What he did was to state that autism was a

neurotoxicologic disorder, and proceed on that premise.

He does not use LA. He does not use DMSA in low-dose, frequent-dosing

schedule, and he uses DMPS IV also. <shudder>. But, he has obtained

some good results, but these results have not been consistent in

all children. Personally, I think his use of the non-outgassing

sauna has contributed greatly to his good results when they have

occurred.

I think that with the use of DMSA and LA in small, frequently-given

doses, the prognosis for most patients will be much better, but it

is still very early. It is probably reasonable to assume that they

will at least be equal.

I'm just curious, did Dr. Edelson link autism, mercury and

vaccinations?

I know that the DAN protocol listed heavy metals, but I was not aware

of the

link with thimerosal until the joint statement of the CDC and AAP was

made in

July of 1999. It sounds like Dr. Edelson had been doing this for

several

years. Did he use alpha lipoic acid? If not, then comparing his

studies to

what we are all trying to do would be like comparing the flight speed

Thanks Joe,

The only time I have seen them in my son was once or twice. They were

small and looked like little white specks not so much threads and they seem

to come off the bowel movement. Sound familiar? Dont know if I should call

doc or not. Have not seen any on tape or anything.

Thanks

Pinworms do not require a prescription treatment unless you think you need

to subsidize a doctor. The Mediterranean diet includes garlic because it is

effective at preventing intestinal parasites common to the area. My family

is from Germany but my Grandma was one of those home remedy people. Among

her treatments was CLO during measles season and garlic foods in summer.

Gaylen,

His sauna program consists of 20 days straight of sauna 30 minutes,

4 times a day, then twice a day for a year after that. He also

uses massages, exercise, showers in between saunas.

Yes, Vitamin A was used as an ANDECTOTE to measles way back then! You will

find something very odd here. The WHO organization KNEW that if they did

not administer VITAMIN A to third world country children, they would die

from vaccines becuase of malnourishment concerns. They actually had a

campaign of administering it BEFORE the VACCINE!!. They knew it would cause

CHRONIC brain/gut problems as WELL! Now, how do you feel about the WHO

organization? Did they think about our kids? Did the pediatrician tell us

THAT ONE? ARRRRGGGHHH

Your kid's muscle tissue makes creatinine at a constant rate. Then he pees

it out. Roughly the same amount of creatinine comes out every day. So the

amount of creatinine in the urine is related to how big the kid is. Thus the

idea of reporting things per gram of creatinine is to try to report them on a

basis where comparison among people of different sizes is reasonably accurate.

From what I've been able to understand, it is a dry-heat sauna

that contains no glue or coatings on the wood that produce bad

fumes. That is my extent of sauna knowledge.

Acute inorganic or elemental mercury poisoning damages the kidneys. Chronic

mercury poisoning does not, nor does organic mercury poisoning.

The amount of creatinine in each day's urine stays about constant even with

damaged kidneys. It is the amount in the blood that goes up.

Andy,

If your kidneys are damaged, which can apparently happen with mercury

toxicity, wouldn't that also affect the levels of creatinine in the urine

as opposed to the levels that are circulating?

A look through the literature this afternoon led me to conclude that

mercury toxicity may change the levels of creatinine in the urine, leaving

a buildup of the stuff in plasma which is also detectable. That might mean

that unless a child's plasma creatinine were measured at the same time as a

urine test, that all the values reported in terms of creatinine in the

urine may be inaccurate. This is why I have been saying for a year or two

that we really MUST get some renal specialists helping us with the

interpretation of urinary tests on children with autism for if the kidneys

are not functioning normally, what we read in those tests may not reflect

what we think they reflect.

At the meeting at the CDC in Atlanta, I showed a slide showing how protein

starvation would change the amount of sulfation in GAGs both in the brain,

and the sulfation of GAGs shed into the urine. From that we may infer

cautiously that systemically, protein starvation is likely to lead to

undersulfated GAGs. That is why I find the report below also very

interesting in that the mice that were protein deficient were MORE

resistent to mercury damage. Though this requires a little reading between

the lines, I think it may suggest that one of the mechanisms of the very

rapid toxicity that would lead to death in these animals may require some

binding to sulfated GAGs or sulfatides or something else very modified by

protein starvation. It would be nice to clarify that issue.

11: Toxicology 1996 Aug 1;112(1):11-7

Influence of dietary protein levels on the acute toxicity of methylmercury in

mice.

Adachi T, Yasutake A, Eto K, Hirayama K

Department of Basic Medical Scienes, National Institute for Minamata Disease,

Kumamoto, Japan.

The influence of dietary protein levels on the acute toxicity of methylmercury

(MeHg) was investigated using C57BL/6N male mice fed either a 24.8% protein

diet

(normal protein diet, NPD) or a 7.5% protein diet (low protein diet, LPD). When

MeHg was administered to each group of mice, all mice died at a medium or high

dose (80 or 120 mumol/kg, respectively) within 16 or 7 days, respectively, but

not at a low dose (40 mumol/kg) in both dietary groups. Although no difference

was observed in the survival rate at a medium dose, NPD-fed mice died earlier

despite lower brain Hg than LPD-fed mice at a high dose. Accordingly, death, in

our observations, could not be due to neural damage by MeHg. When a high

dose of

MeHg was administered to mice, plasma aspartate aminotransferase and alanine

aminotransferase activities increased in NPD-fed mice but not in LPD-fed

mice in

spite of similar hepatic Hg levels. Therefore, the higher susceptibility of the

liver could be reason for the shorter survival period in NPD-fed mice. Since

plasma creatinine increased within 24 h after MeHg administration at a

medium or

high dose, renal dysfunction could be a major factor in death. The present

results suggest that susceptibility to acute MeHg toxicity was higher in

NPD-fed

mice than in LPD-fed mice, possibly due to the difference in hepatic

susceptibility.

so what does low creatinine mean? Ref range on doctors data for this is 21-76

and my sons level was 20.3 Also any ideas on extremely high sodium and

potassium?

Sodium result 6620 ref range DDL 760-2350

Potassium 3950 ref range DDL 360-1640

Is there something that could be lacking that could cause these extremely

high numbers? Anyone else see this on their urine tests?Take into

consideration his main drink is gatorade(lemon lime) but I only put half of

what it calls for in the container.

Thanks,

Taken together these do suggest the possibility the test got messed up - has

this result come back more than once?

The low creatinine may mean he is small or has light musculature, or may mean

you didn't get all 24 hours worth of pee into the bucket.

The high Na and K may mean he has problems making adrenal hormones and

retaining them, or it may just mean he gets an unusually large quantity of

them from his gatorade.

I had pinworms as a child and my mom bought some over the counter med for

it. It is an awful feeling to have these in the body. Get rid of them

fast.. I can't remember the name of the med but i am sure you can find it

just by looking in the drug store. kelly
