We repeated the kids' porphyrin analyses through French lab

[Guest guest]

We knew it and so we're not collapsing from shock, but the mercury

and lead levels were horribly high for both kids. Our daughter, true

to the protective-estrogen theory, has less inflammation than our

son and is clearly cognitively less effected by the toxic overload.

You know that kind of shock you go into when someone rear-ends you

and you get out of the car and see no damage, yet back home you

realize that your fender's smashed in and you were just too shaken

up to see it? That's the kind of day I've had. There's ringing in my

ears, my peripheral vision is weird and my head feels like it's

wrapped in cotton candy.

I recommend that anyone who did the porphyrin testing and got

indeterminate results the first time repeat the test. A lot seems to

depend on urine concentration.

And may I just say this: WHAT THE HELL HAS BEEN DONE TO MY CHILDREN?

We had this house officially deleaded (very little lead to begin

with) before moving into it. We used zero-VOC paint, they sleep on

an organic mattress and eat all organic food, as did I when

breastfeeding. I have no amalgams, hate fish, don't eat it and don't

serve it. We've spent a fortune protecting our children from before

they were born...AND FOR WHAT?!

End of rant. Thank you, thank you.
