Guest guest Posted May 11, 2003 Report Share Posted May 11, 2003 My husband heard on Cosel (I cant spell LOL) the other day that there was a spot in Europe UK where there was alot of mercury. When they did a investigation why they found out that people were buried there and had mercury tooth fillings. Wow that is alot of mercury. Anyone I was wondering if anyone here heard the story? Then I started to think hmmm I had bad teeth and my first mercury fillling when I was 8 years old. I didnt get my teeth redone until my youngest was a year old. Could it be possible that all my babies were exposed to mercury while pregnant then when they were born exposed to more mercury shots and that may be the problem? It has me thinking it really does.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2003 Report Share Posted May 11, 2003 I've read that some believe there is a connection to mercury amalagms and autism. I, like you, got mercury fillings about 8yrs old. I still have them in my mouth. Supposedly after a few years the mercury begins to be released into the mouth and as you inhale you breath mercury vapors. So, take a girl who has several mercury amalagms, gets several thimerosal boosters during her childhood/adolescence who absorbs a certain amount into organs and tissues, then as an adult (possibly having amalagms replaced with new mercury-containing fillings) during pregnancy of her second baby gets rhogam shots with thimerosal, baby gets hepB as soon as born, mother gets rubella booster while nursing at 8 weeks with thimerosal, then baby gets 8 week shots 2 weeks later, many full of thimerosal. And then we wonder why our babies have mercury in them. Food for thought!

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2003 Report Share Posted May 11, 2003 All this information is just going to make everyone worry that they gave their babies autism, please dont take it in and assume that all the little things we did why we were pregnant (like eat tuna-we all did it, I to consumed more then I care to admit). We are all GREAT moms that do the best that we can for our children and give them all we are able to. We could all drive ourselves nuts thinking of all the things that could have caused our childrens autism, by blameing ourselves we are not benifiting anyone. It is wasted time spent worrying. Just my opinion. I know we all do these things (myself included) however this is Mothers Day-let us not spend it worrying about Autism, let us just enjoy our precious miracles.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2003 Report Share Posted May 11, 2003 What is a rhogam shot? Wow Debi that is alot of mercury. Makes me sick knowing this is one of the most toxins on earth unless you compare it to sianide. I was detoxifying my kids but there behavior got so bad in school I decided not to do nothing until this summer. That is when I was talking about the school tying my son up. So I will wait til school is out and try detoxifying again. I used DMSA. I cant tell anyone here it worked as I didnt try it long enough due to circumstances LOL Debi that is enough food to make me sick LOL http://www.1to1vitamins.com/products/dmsa.html -- Re: MERCURY I've read that some believe there is a connection to mercury amalagms and autism.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2003 Report Share Posted May 11, 2003 And then of course, there's the fish connection. On top of all the fillings and crap you could've been exposing yourself to even more mercury just by eating a tuna sandwich. I'm not sure how much tuna you'd have to eat to become toxic but I do know that while I was pregnant with Olivia, I craved tuna fish the entire time. I ate more of this than I care to mention but sometimes, late at night when I get a bad case of the " why me's " I can't help but wonder if this didn't contribute to her dx.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2003 Report Share Posted May 11, 2003 << What is a rhogam shot?>> Rhogam is given to Rh negative women after delivery (or termination) or pregnancies by an Rh positive man. It prevents the development of maternal antibodies so that subsequent pregnancies are not threatened by Rh incompatibility. This is one shot you don't want to miss!!

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2003 Report Share Posted May 11, 2003 More specifically it's not that the father is positive but that the BABY is positive. The father could be positive and you could still have Rh negative babies like the mother because the father could be either heterozygous (+ -) or homozygous (+ +). However, since you would have no way of knowing whether the father was + + or + -, you'd have to get the Rhogam shot in any case, even if the baby ends up being negative and there was never any antibody danger. Isn't biology fascinating? :-) > << What is a rhogam shot?>>Â Rhogam is given to Rh negative women after > delivery (or termination) or pregnancies by an Rh positive man.

And as a nurse, I do have to say that I've looked at the research on this " link " and it's bad science, at the very least. _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 Rhogam shot - not only did I have this shot after the birth, I also had 2 or 3 during pregnancy (part of a trial). Did anyone else take part in this trial? I was told it would have absolutely no effect, but I sometimes do wonder about it.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 I thought you are supposed to get them at various stages during your second preg, but I could be wrong.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2003 Report Share Posted May 13, 2003 In the U.S., If you are Rh negative, the current practice is to receive Rhogam or Mini-Rhogam at around 28 weeks gestation, and then within 72 hours of delivery if the baby is Rh positive. _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
