Guest guest Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 I lost sixty lbs before getting preg with Allie, my ASD child.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 This is interesting. Isn't a womans fat somehow supposed to store certain toxins like pesticides?

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 Well, in my case, I think a lifetime of accumulated toxins played its part, as my son was lead poisoned in utero and from my milk. Also he was perhaps affected by my failing thyroid, although I was on thyroxine, but perhaps not enough. Thyroid failure can be caused by lead... To any young woman now I meet who thinks she's got forever to start a family I try to say something to the effect that it's a good idea to have them young: less chance of problems with pregnancy,birth and with the child; grandparents still alive and fit to help out; mother healthier and stronger to cope with physical demands etc. Margaret --- In , " zookpr56 " <mcro99@a...> wrote: > ??

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2003 Report Share Posted September 6, 2003 There are probably many factors related to this, but one is that mercury bioaccumulates in the body over time and is at higher levels in older people. This is well documented in the medical literature, autopsy studies, etc. And its likely that there are other toxics like PCBs, organochlorine compounds, organophosphates, etc. that also bioaccumulate; so this could be a factor. But this can also be counteracted by reducing body burden prior to pregnancy by proper diet, toxin avoidance, testing for exposures, safe chelation measures, etc. Its too bad not many of the public, nor of doctors are familiar with this problem, and the well documented fact that toxins are passed on the fetus from the Mom, usually at higher levels than in the Mom.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2003 Report Share Posted September 6, 2003 According to my health and fitness class I took last spring, the more a person has yo-yo weight loss, the higher the risk of cancer. They said scientists believe it's because of the toxins stored in fat and the more you gain and lose, the more you are releasing toxins in the body. Made me wonder about my Allie Kat.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2003 Report Share Posted September 7, 2003 I am 41 and have children ages 19, 17, 8,7 & 6... my 7 year old is the only one that has any developmental problems. He has autism. My 6 year old is the exact opposite, so I don't thing the age thing had much to do with my son's autism. christianity20 wrote: > Hi, > > You can count me in, too.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2003 Report Share Posted September 7, 2003 Well, I'm 38 with 3 year old twins ... son ASD, daughter NT. So I suppose I qualify as an " older mom " given my children's young age? Not sure. But I see some in their 40's with older children and when my children are the same age, I will be in my 40's. Perhaps the accumulation of toxins theory is true. I don't know. I do know that I have a mouth full of amalgams, had a lot of dental work done in my late 20's/early 30's and most likely have some mercury poisoning myself. I've been doing Bioset allergy elimination treatments with my son and sure enough ... mercury and amalgams didn't clear the first go-round (neither did vaccines & thimersol the first treatment). So I guess he got some in-utero poisoning from my fillings. <sighs> Getting very close to chelating him. I'm nervous about starting ... but also really hoping for some dramatic improvements. Wouldn't be cool if he was mercury free with a clear, functioning head by the time he enters Kindergarten? I'd love him to have a typical school experience. Debbie [ ] Re: 'older moms!!' I'm 43 with 5-year old twins - son ASD, daughter NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
