Guest guest Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Dear all, Eddie's porphyrin test results showed him to have " remarkable " mercury toxicity. We were expecting toxicity but not so *extremely* high. I have searched the autism mercury group and only found one much older boy with a result higher than Eddie's (Eddie is only 3). I am wondering if I should show these to our new GP? We think we are going to apply for vaccine damage - so we should probably at least show the GP. http://www.direct.gov.uk/DisabledPeople/FinancialSupport/OtherBenefits AndSupport/OtherBenefitsArticles/fs/en?CONTENT_ID=10026664 & chk=yqnZNb We would be interested to hear from anyone who has advice. We are as sure as we can be that Eddie was vaccine damaged and that his mercury load came from his vaccinations. We felt the need to test ourselves to rule things out and we were both only mildly toxic. With best wishes, Sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 This might not be at all helpful, but I have been operating under the assumption that we are not supposed to put much stock in the degree of severity of toxicity indicated by the porphyrin test, but only in the indication of toxicity. Am I mistaken? There is a database on CK2 which suggests that many kids with higher toxicity per the porphyrin testing are in fact higher functioning than the lower toxicity kids. This could certainly be a result of other issues (immune system dysfunction comes to mind)...... So, in fact, I guess this is really not a helpful response, but a search for input on understanding the porphyrin testing in hopes of flushing this out a bit.....

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 That's fascinating, how you go about getting tested for mercury / or any toxins? I would love to know, my boy has jsut turned 4, he was born with depleted immunity due to an interuterine virus. He had first mmr & vaccines (much to my regret) he is v bright & can read fluently. I would like to know the level of toxins he has, so that i can bio medically treat him with any thing else that would help. Also can anyone tell me how he can be tested for yeast ? I have asked my pead & G.P - ha ha ha. Not a chnace. thank you Lara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Sandy, I just had a long email exchange about this with a dear internet friend who is on this board. She noted that the porphyrin test results only indicate liver toxicity, which makes sense. It gives no indication of brain burden, etc. You certainly picked up on this earlier than I! It sounds like Eddie is making good progress, and that is very encouraging! Hard to remember sometimes the adage about this being a marathon not a sprint....

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Hi Lara, I agree with Lara. We have done a lot of all 1-4. Yeast is so very common - and so very persistent - we have been treating it constantly in one way or another. We found the comprehensive stool test and parasitology really useful early on - the organix urine test was handy too because we identified clostridia from it. However, we could have just followed the DAN recommendations on general gut bug treatments - basically cycling and rotating them in turn and watching for die off. BTW - our GP did attempt to help us test Eddie for yeast but we found the NHS tests were utterly useless - we even had to rush one sample to the hospital within the hour. We paid about £240 for the stool test - there is at least one cheaper version. We use Muscroft the nutritionist in Cheshire (who we have the greatest respect for). Consultations with her are a fraction of the cost we spent on two private consultant pediatrians from the children's hospital (and which were extremely disappointing in terms of the accuracy of the advise). If you like I will email you a copy of one of Eddie's results so you can see what you get with these tests?

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Geir, Thanks for futhering this discussion! Do you think there is an optimum period of time after chelating (a three day round, say) to run a porphyrins test?

I know I did it after 3 weeks break and Dr Nataf (from the French lab) told me it is OK. Liora Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Forgot some details: The chelation was 10 months of TD DMPS, than stoped for 3 weeks, then did the porphyrins (the results sow considerably less toxicity then previous test) Liora > > >Do you think there is an > > optimum period of time after chelating (a three day round, say) to > > run a porphyrins test? > > I know I did it after 3 weeks break and Dr Nataf (from the French lab) > told me it is OK. > > Liora > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
