Dear Mommycat,

you might be interested on our experience. Our PDD daughter measured

high in multiple heavy metals, in particular, Antimony and Cadmium

(in red); and aluminum, arsenic, lead, silver, tin, titanium (in

yellow). I was surprised, but didn't know what to make of it. Esp.

the lead, since she'd done fine on her baby lead blood test. So we

tested the rest of the family: both parents and her NT brother. None

of the rest of us had any of these toxicities; the only similarity

was Boron (not toxic, in the essential elements) which I believe used

to be used as bedding fire retardant. And the kids usually sleep

with us in our bed, so that made sense.

I believe our daughters multiple toxicities stem from mercury (from

vaccines) as well as a metallothionein protein weakness (perhaps

worsened by the mercury) so that she cannot excrete most heavy

metals. So even in the same environment that the rest of us have no

problem in, she gets toxic, from multiple metals.

I wonder if anyone else on the list who has tested hair from the

whole family has experience they'd like to share.
