Your Remarks on Chelation Therapy and Mercury Poisoning

[Guest guest]

Dr. Karima Hirani,

GENERAL REMARKS

First, let state that I support appropriate

chelation to remove heavy metals as well as

other metals, like Aluminum, from the human

body whe they are there in " excess. "

For the heavy metals (like Cd, Hg, and Pb)

for which there is no known trace biological

need in humans, all who are at risk of having

been poisoned need to be made aware of their

risk and provided appropriate therapies

(dietary and otherwise) that have been proven

to be capable of assisting the human organism

in ridding the human body of these harmful

metals.

REMARKS ON YOUR WEBPAGE:

With respect to your page on heavy metal

sources:

http://www.drhirani.com/weblog2/stories/2004/02/29/infoForKcal9SegmentOnToxi

cMetals.html

a. Under Aluminum, you need to add vaccines

b. Under Mercury, you need to ADD vaccines and

REMOVE Mercurochrome and Merthiolate BECAUSE

these antiseptics were outlawed from being

used in OTC products in 1998 in the U.S.

MERCURY IN VACCINES AND MERCURY POISONING

For vaccines, when I first began to study the

" facts " on this subject, I found that, instead of

addressing Thimerosal (49.55% mercury) and

mercury poisoning, the discussions were falsely

framed as issues of " vaccines " and

" neurodevelopmental disorders, " in general, and

" autism, " in specific.

However, let me assure you that the real issue is

Thimerosal (49.55% mercury) and mercury poisoning

-- mostly subclinical mercury poisoining of about

80% of the vaccinated population and clinical

poisoning of some type (neural, immune, digestive,

hepatic, pancreatic, nephrenic, dermal, endrocrine,

etc.) to some degree of the remaining 30% of the

vaccinated poplation.

Rather than try to convince you of this reality

by writing at length in this e-mail, I would

simply request that you:

a. visit the web site:

http://www.mercury-freedrugs.org

b. download and read the top three (3) posts on

that web site's " Documents " page with an open

mind and

c. check the references cited.

CLOSING REMARKS

Hopefully, thes publications will provide you

with a better understanding of the reality of

100+ years of mercury poisoning and see that:

a. mercury must be removed from all medicines and

dentistry, and

b. some type of intervention is needed not only for

those with clinical symptoms but also for ALL

who have been poisoned to remove as much of the

bound mercury as possible BECAUSE doing so will

improve the general health of all of those who

have been sub-clinically mercury poisoned.

Thimerosal is a known severe poison that attacks and

" weakens " all organs and systems in the human body

NOT just the central nervous system.

and Geroux,

Would suggest that you visit the web site

first (top most) article posted on the

" Documents " page, it contains the

general information about other illnesses

that you seek along with hundreds of

supporting references that you can check.

Dr. Haley's supporting slides (2nd post on

that " Document " page) contain a slide on

one fatal mercury-poisoning-related heart

problem found in a " normal " person (a

sub-clinically mercury-poisoned person who

died from his poisoning as many probably do

without being even checked for tissue mercury

poisoning as a contributing factor).

Hopefully, that referenced articles will

answer your questions sufficiently and help

you to understand the insidious nature of

the repeated sub-clinical mercury poisoning

of all vaccinated with mercury-containing

vaccines or administered in other medicines.

broader then just the central nervous system) reaction to their

vaccines. "

Have you had your child evaluated medically? Because of mercury's

effect on the totality of the body's systems--digestive,

immunologic, metabolic and neurological, mercury-poisoned children

suffer from a constellation of medical issues:

1. Most autistic children (70 to 80%) have gut and bowel problems,

especially yeast overgrowth and the presence of more " bad guys " in

their bellies than beneficial bacteria. There can also be strep

infections and the presence of live measles virus, most likely from

the MMR.

The GFCF diet is important here (http://www.gfcfdiet.com), and the

underlying issue of gut bacteria also needs to be addressed and

cured. Many doctors treating autism bio-medically require that the

gut be successfully healed as a pre-condition for further treatments.

2. Heavy Metal Load. These are metals that, literally, poison the

body: lead, mercury, cadmium and others. Most autistic children have

a reduced ability to chelate metals. If a child's metal burden is in

the toxic range, the child needs to be chelated. Because of the

metal tests, most children end up with diagnostic codes

like: " 270.4 – Disturbances of Sulphur-Bearing Amino-Acid "

and " 985.0 – Toxic Effect of Mercury and Its Compounds. " With these

diagnoses like these, many insurances will pay for the child's

treatment, including chelation.

3. Vitamins and Minerals. Again, autistic children will tend to be

low in essential vitamins and minerals, especially calcium, zinc,

magnesium, B12 and so on because of an impaired ability to take them

in and metabolize them. These essential elements have to be replaced

in the child's body on an ongoing basis with supplements.

Many children take a cabinet full of supplements every day. Our son

takes methyl B-12 transdermal rub, TMG with folinic acid, fatty acid

supplement, probiotics (to promote good bacteria growth in the gut),

twice-daily multi-vitamins, Lubriflex, taurine, Cal-Mag-K, Coenzyme,

selenium, transdermal zinc, transdermal n-acetylcysteine,

transdermal methycobalamin.

4. Brain metabolism and hyperbaric oxygen treatment. One of the

effects of the brain inflammation associated with ASD is that key

areas of the brain go into a sort of hibernation—the cells are still

alive but are no longer active, as documented in an MRI study done

by Dr. Gunnar Heuser, a toxic exposure specialist ( " Clinical Study:

Mild Hyperbarics for Impaired Brain Function " ). This condition is

similar to what happens to a person in a coma or under general

anesthesia, when massive areas of the brain have gone into a

temporary hibernative state—alive but not active.

One way to reactivate affected areas in the brain of a child with

ASD is with hyperbaric oxygen treatment: increasing normal

atmospheric pressure to 1.3 ATA (atmospheres absolute) and providing

supplemental oxygen (O2). The treatment causes profusion of oxygen

into all of the body's fluids, including blood and central-nervous

system (CNS) fluids and stimulates the metabolism of dormant cells.

The " battery " of each dormant cell, the mitochondria, can in many

cases be switched from hibernation mode to active mode.

Results from SPECT imaging (Single Photon Emission Computed

Tomography) show post-treatment reactivation of parts of the brain

that were dormant due to lack of oxygen and vasoconstriction:

http://www.icdrc.org/pdf/HBOT%20SPEC.pdf . This brain reactivation

of key areas such as language and mood has resulted in observable

behavior changes in autistic children.

These units are licensed by the FDA for home use. Some parents form

a coop to purchase a unit ($20,000) for their children's use. Here

is a link to physician's web site for a graphic of an inflated unit:

http://www.icdrc.org/hbot.html

Without bio-medical testing, you may be flying blind a little when

it comes to these treatments, diet, supplements and so forth.

Because autism is a " spectrum disorder, " it manifests itself with a

variety of symptoms in children at varying levels of severity. How a

given child is affected seems to be determined by the child's

inherent genetic weakness plus the severity of insult the child

suffered.

The emerging medical/scientific belief is that ASD is epigenetic: a

combination of genes and environmental triggers. Autistic children

seem to have a genetic susceptibility ( " polymorphism " ) that makes

them less able to deal with toxins in their bodies.

The primary suspects are environmental neurotoxins, injected

neurotoxins and live viruses. The preservative thimerosal, which is

49.6% organic mercury, was (and still is) in childhood vaccines,

especially some flu shots, tetanus, DtP and meningitis vaccines up

to 25 mg. Others contain " trace " amounts of less than .1 mg. These

vaccines are probably one of the child's most significant exposures

since the mercury is injected directly into the bloodstream and

bypasses most of the body's defenses against toxins, which are

located in the gut.

Mercury acts synergistically with other toxins in the child's body:

mercury doesn't just add to the toxic load; mercury multiplies the

toxic load and accelerates the damage of toxins. For example, if a

susceptible child receives a low exposure to lead dust in an older

home during the mother's pregnancy and infancy, the lead could have

lowered IQ a few points that would not have been noticeable.

But if that child is injected with bolus amounts of ethylmercury,

the mercury can act synergistically with the lead to overwhelm the

child's system and cause the brain inflammation and immune-system

dysfunction that leads to symptoms we call " autism " and the other

conditions of ASD.

[Guest guest]

Have you had your child evaluated medically?

Honestly no,not yet or not to the extent listed in your email. We have been to a GI once when he was smaller due to encoprecious and that was remedied by changing his diet (not full on gf cf but moderatation changes relieved his problem)

who would i turn to, to do such an evaluation.. just look at the list of DAN doctors? and what would a complete medical work up look like? and also how invasive is it?

I am familiar with the ailments you did list, and do know many children with autism with these issues (gut vitamin defeciencies etc-my own child)

I was simply curious as to the other main organs that should also be being significantly affected by the known toxin.

Because autism is a "spectrum disorder," it manifests itself with a variety of symptoms in children at varying levels of severity. How a given child is affected seems to be determined by the child's inherent genetic weakness plus the severity of insult the childsuffered.

I absolutely agree on this, just curious as to numbers, the epidemic of autism (which is so spectrum) is documented in numbers so I would assume that epidemiologically we could also see the increase in other major organs being affected even if it was in varying degrees (just like autism is)

its stated that it affects ALL major organs that is a fact, so far info about just the intestines/metobolic parts and brain is what has been addressed..thast why I was asking.. really am trying to get INFO not play devils advocate or asking hypotheicals.. trying to get the info.. Dr Kings posted citaton was a good start.

Here is a link to physician's web site for a graphic of an inflated unit:http://www.icdrc.org/hbot.htmlWithout bio-medical testing, you may be flying blind a little when it comes to these treatments, diet, supplements and so forth.Because autism is a "spectrum disorder," it manifests itself with a variety of symptoms in children at varying levels of severity. How a given child is affected seems to be determined by the child's inherent genetic weakness plus the severity of insult the childsuffered.The emerging medical/scientific belief is that ASD is epigenetic: a combination of genes and environmental triggers.

Autistic children seem to have a genetic susceptibility ("polymorphism") that makes them less able to deal with toxins in their bodies. The primary suspects are environmental neurotoxins, injected neurotoxins and live viruses. The preservative thimerosal, which is 49.6% organic mercury, was (and still is) in childhood vaccines, especially some flu shots, tetanus, DtP and meningitis vaccines up to 25 mg. Others contain "trace" amounts of less than .1 mg. These vaccines are probably one of the child's most significant exposures since the mercury is injected directly into the bloodstream and bypasses most of the body's defenses against toxins, which are located in the gut.Mercury acts synergistically with other toxins in the child's body: mercury doesn't just add to the toxic load; mercury multiplies the toxic load and accelerates the damage of toxins. For example, if a susceptible child receives a low exposure to lead

dust in an older home during the mother's pregnancy and infancy, the lead could have lowered IQ a few points that would not have been noticeable. But if that child is injected with bolus amounts of ethylmercury, the mercury can act synergistically with the lead to overwhelm the child's system and cause the brain inflammation and immune-system dysfunction that leads to symptoms we call "autism" and the other conditions of ASD. > Dr. Karima Hirani,> > > GENERAL REMARKS> First, let state that I support appropriate>

[Guest guest]

Here are the tests given to my child. There are routine lab tests,

with the exception of a chelation challenge given prior to the urine

test.

These are standard tests. The magic is in the interpretation. For my

money, only a few autism docs rival Jeff Bradstreet.

Good luck!

Treatment begins with a patient history followed by lab tests by a

qualified doctor to determine what's going on inside your child in

key areas. To implement this approach, it's recommended that you

consult a DAN! affiliated physician or another physician who treats

autism bio-medically. There's a list of DAN! (Defeat Autism Now!)

doctors, listed at http://www.autismwebsite.com/ari-

lists/danus.html. DAN! The doctor will coordinate and interpret a

series of tests that will likely include:

* CDSA: Complete Diagnostic Stool Analysis that measures

digestion/absorption, gut immunology, gut metabolism and gut

microbiology

* Urine Toxic Metals Test (following a chelation challenge) for

potentially toxic metals such as aluminum, antimony, arsenic,

beryllium, bismuth, cadmium, lead, mercury, nickel, platinum,

thallium, thorium, tin, tungsten, uranium. Depending on the child's

ability/inability to detoxify and upon the exposure, the child could

have toxic levels of one or more of these elements.

* RBCE: Red Blood Cell Elements for calcium, magnesium, potassium,

phosphorus, copper, zinc, iron, manganese, chromium, selenium,

boron, vanadium and molybdenum. These essential elements are often

blocked from uptake by disturbances caused by heavy metal toxicity.

* Microbial OATS Panel, which checks for yeast and bacterial

byproducts
