Rhogam-are there mercury-free alternatives?

[Guest guest]

My sister is expecting a child and is Rh-. She is scheduled to get a

shot related to the Rh- in about 4 weeks but doesn't know any details

about the shot. Is Rhogam still given? Is it available in a

mercury-free version and if so are there still versions with mercury

being used? Thanks.

You can also avoid taking it altogether by testing cord blood at birth and

then getting the shot if necessary . Its a blood product. I read win rho has no

merc? listmates?

Someone wrote that you can avoid Rhogam by testing the

cord blood at birth. By then it's too late. Unless

both parents are Rh negative, then the child will

likely be Rh positive, which is what could create the

health problems. My child with autism had very, very

serious jaundice at birth caused by a blood

incompatibility with me, and frankly, I've wondered if

that is the cause of some of the problems we've seen,

not just the mercury from later vaccines. (I did not

get Rhogam, as it would not have worked in our case).

Sounds like Doctors scare tactics to me.

The RH shot is to avoid building antibodies against a fetus. It has no effect

on a current pregnacy. If the babies blood type is the same as your spouses

(opposite yours) then a subsequent pregnancy where the babies blood type is also

the same as your spouses (opposite yours) puts that fetus at risk. And only if

you didn't get the shot within a day or so following the delivery of the first

baby who must have had an opposite blood type of the mothers.

We are an RH family. We had 3 children. Tested blood type

@ birth on each. 1st child same blood as mom - no shots.

2nd child opposite blood type of mom -RH shot after birth.

3rd child same blood as mom - no shots.

Doctor supported us with doing this and he works by the book - has to ,small

town.

Our 1st child was still nursing at birth of our second, he was 18 mos. rhogam

had thimersol, our son developed autism following that, lost all speech. both

his younger sisters are typical children. We never vaccs. our kids.

Are you saying that the thimerisol that the mom got from one rhogam

affected the 18 month old nursing baby, causing autism? Wow, that is

amazing. I wonder if rhogam shots have more mercury than a vaccine. I had

eight rhogams by the time my son was born, and he nursed for nine months.

Dave,

No personal experience here, but in the past several on the list have said they

call the mercury-free version WinRho and that one must ask for it by name.

" Are you saying that the thimerisol that the mom got from one rhogam

Yes we believe that mercury via thimersol injection was passed through the

breastmilk. My dw also had amalgam fillings 4 mos. after birth of our son. We

used to eat a lot of tuna :-(. Our son breastfed a lot, we thought we were

doing best by him (many la leche league moms advocate breastfeeding till 4 or 5

years).On hindsight we noticed following that injection that he was regressing

developmentally. He is seven now and we just had all his amalgams replaced with

composite fillings. We discovered the merc issue only last year. Huge

improvement starting about 4 days after removal of amalgams especially in speech

and visual issues around lighting. Hoping to get started soon chelating pending

test results. Already gfcf.

" Wow, that is

amazing. I wonder if rhogam shots have more mercury than a vaccine. I had

eight rhogams by the time my son was born, and he nursed for nine months. "

wish I knew too. .

Hi,

I am way behind on my emails, so I hope I am not repeating anything. I am a

rh - Mum, and never had a rhogam shot. I live in New Zealand and they are

not routinely given here. I have one son rh - (nt) and one son rh +

(autistic), in NZ you are only given a rhogam shot if you have bleeding

while pregnant and only if that bleeding accurs after a certain week (wk 12

I think, can't remember exactly). Then when our babies are born the blood

cord is tested so for my first child who was rh - , I rec'd nothing and for

my second child who was rh +, I rec'd an 'anti D' injection, which had to be

done in a certain amount of time after the birth.

Hi, I am an RH- Mom of 3. I received Rhogham Shots during and after each

pregnancy. Does anyone know how these shorts relate with mercury poising,

and possibly the poisoning of my autistic son? Anne

[Guest guest]

Hi Anne, I will assume you are new: welcome.

The short answer is: these shots have mercury in them.

Apparently there is some type of Rhogam without mercury,

but it is not commonly used and you have to ask for it

by name. Thus, I would assume the shots you got had

mercury. Mercury is passed to babies during gestation,

and through breastmilk. Most infants are

exposed to mercury through vaccines--- so you might

want to think about how this also may apply to your son.

Yes, this possibly relates to your son's autism. While

it seems apparent that vaccination does not directly cause

autism BY ITESELF (or everyone who is vaccinated would have

it), it is not unrelated! Quite the contrary. I have read

too many stories of kids who regressed after vaccination to

EVER think that it is not VERY related. Further, a lot of kids

on this list [um--- whose parents are on this list] are improving

through heavy metal chelation.

best,

Moria

Each Rhogam shot contains thimerosal, a mercury containing preservative, so

Rhogam could have contributed to your son's disability.

Yes. Rhogam shots had (have?) mercury in them, so the baby (and you)

received mercury through that avenue.
