I can never seem to access the files on counting rules. Help please?

My daughter gets this also. The only thing that clears it up is a nystatin

or lotramin type topical yeast treatment. Lotramin is over the coutner. Try

it & see if it helps. Hannah hasn't had the corners of her mouth broken out

since I started yeast treatments with her.

This sounds like DH. Is your son gf, including lotions and

medications?

Hello Becky,

>I am relatively new to this list. I am trying to figure out if my

your

What

>would that look like and where would it be on the body?

usually when people refer to mercury rash, they are talking about a rash

during chelation, which they think is due to the increase in mercury being

detoxed in the body.

I've read that mercury can cause extreme skin sensitivity. I've had

skin allergies for many years, myself (and was mercury toxic).

I would not really suggest using any kind of rash as a diagnostic

method. I *would* suggest getting familiar with the range of symptoms

that mercury can cause. I think having many of these symptoms can

be an important diagnostic indicator, but I would not go by one

thing, especially something as unclear as a rash (rashes can be

caused by MANY MANY things.)

I have no idea if your son's rash is from mercury--- you may eventually

come to some conclusion about it yourself, for example if you do end

up chelating, and if the rash changes. Even then, there is some

speculation in it

Here is info on a method to look for mercury toxicity. Please read

I noticed my son had a rash under his arms and on his chest. This was only

while he was bathing and on a Thursday after a chelation weekend. I haven't

seen it since and that was 4-5 rounds ago.

Hello Rose:

I've read about mercury rashes on and off on this list. It seems to

happen.

I'm chelating my 10 yr old (ADHD - NT) son and when we first started he

did get a red rash on his left forearm. It was ichy and bugged him a

little. It disappeared after 3 or 4 days and has not returned. He also

has had some kind of rash inside his mouth a few times. They were very

soar and took about a week to 10 days to heal. These have also not

returned in a while.

I don't have more for you than that for now.

In Christ's love and mine...Jen : )

On one of my listservs I vaguely remember some discussion about

" mercury rash " with DMSA. Is this for real? I did an archives search,

but got too many hits. My son has developed a nasty rash just

below his lip, it comes and goes. Thanks Rose
