I'm sorry I couldn't help with the medications for his heart, etc. As far as

breastfeeding, I have a bunch of amalgams & nursed both my boys for a long

time & am now nursing my daughter. My son was vaccine injured; I know that.

Whether or not he was predisposed from some mercury from me I don't know.

(Before his vaccs his development was excellent; above normal-we know this

now). His development was stunted after his MMR at 15 mos & regressed a bit.

And *after* weaning (he nursed for a few years), his autism became much more

apparent & he regressed considerably. I do think that's when his major gut

problems started. So breastfeeding was definitely protective in some big way

for him. As well as emotionally great for both of us.

My second son has never been vaccinated, has some temperament issues but is

otherwise developing typically (he's 4-1/2 yrs old). His hair test is not

back yet. My daughter is so far, high strung, but on track or better

developmentally.

I would say she should absolutely **NOT** try to detox while breastfeeding;

it will dump into her milk supply & in doing so could harm the baby. It's her

decision, but weaning early now to detox would depend on how she is feeling &

how her baby is doing. If all is going well with nursing & she feels

relatively fine, just continue as long as she feels like it or when baby

begins to show signs of weaning (which can come at all different ages,

depending on the baby; then she can encourage it further if she'd like). It's

a relatively short time (even for someone like me who goes beyond the norm

lol), so I'm just going to wait until we're all done & then work on getting

the amalgams out & detoxing.

It's really up to her to decide based on her personal circumstances. But I

feel safe in saying she shouldn't do anything to encourage detoxing while

nursing her baby. (hopefully she isn't vaccinating...that's another topic

altogether!).

Best of luck,

Michele

I meant to add also to my last post that I've never had any dental work done

while pregnant or nursing as a precaution.

Best,

I would not guess, but check the levels of mercury in her breast milk

and , if possible, compare them with the levels of mercury in the

formula (I do not know if the companies have this info or she can

order the test from DDI). I breastfed long, and had amalgams put in

my mouth while breastfeeding. My son improved and regained some lost

skills without any other intervention when I stopped breastfeeding.

My children are mercury toxic entirely from my fillings (absorbed in the womb

and through the breast milk). They have not been diagnosed autistic or anything,

but I think my daughter is probably ADHD and my son has OCD traits. My son meets

the counting rules for mercury, but both of them are also high in lead,

antimony, aluminium and arsenic.
