This is very interesting since I have all the symptoms of hyperthyroidism too.

I could not agree with you more! I wish I could personally pay for everyone

to see Dr. Holmes or her partner Dr. Cave! They are angels. I hope when

things settle down here I can start calling doctors around the country to

make a list of at least one in every state that is following her protocol!!!

This is also a classic sign of hypothyroidism. Ask her about that.

He's missing about a 1/4 of the outside of his eyebrows. She

: said this can be a sign of mercury poisoning. Also he's very pale. She

said

: her son was the same way and now his eyebrows have fully grown in and he's

no

: longer pale.

Wow, I didn't know this either and when I read this I checked my son, he's

also missing part of his eyebrow, we never noticed! This gives me hope that

this might be what helps my son.

We're working with another Doctor but we've already disscussed it and if

things don't go well we will make the appt with Dr Holmes.

Mine is missing part of his eyebrow too, could that be low thyroid???

Jo,

Is Amy doing thyroid panels on her patients? I ask this because what

you describe with the outer part of the eyebrow missing and the pale

skin is CLASSIC for hypothyroidism. I would be curious to know if she

is doing thyroid panels and whether they are changing with chelation.

I only talked to Dr. Holme's nurse and will be calling on Monday to

straighten this out. I'm sure Dr. Holme's had a reason not to do the Thyroid

testing at that time. I'll let you know what she says on Monday.

It is hard for me to believe that any responsible physician would

postpone investigation and treatment of thyroid hormone deficiency in

a developing child with the presumption that everything will be okay

when the mercury is gone. From what I have been reading on this list

I have gathered that the chelation process can take MONTHS and

possibly YEARS before all the metals are out. Chelation will NOT

correct any developmental deficits caused by existing hypothyroidism,

even if the hypothyroidism is caused by mercury toxicity. The

hypothyroidism MAY be resolved by the removal of mercury, but you will

not be able to go back and make up for the time the child had was

deficient in thyroid hormone during those possible months or years of

chelation.

Also, how do you know if chelation resolves hypothyroidism if you

can't show it was there to begin with?????

I'm sure there can be some clarification on whether Dr. Holmes is testing

for Thyroid, and adrenal deficiency. From everything that I have read from

her patients on this list, she is a physician who treats children until

signs, symptoms, subjective feelings, and tests for the most part agree that

they are healthy rather than refusing them treatment because one particular

test isn't in the range where it is " supposed " to be. I also know that Andy
