Guest guest Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 I really only lurk here. I have a friend whose daughter recently had a mercury toxicity blood test via regular pediatrician. The test showed very high mercury. It has since dropped somewhat, but is still very high. Their ped is recommending doing nothing, and the mom is not comfortable with that. However, she is a person who needs the " MD " label in order to feel like she's getting appropriate healthcare. They live in CA (Bay area), and she would like to find a local doctor to help her. The child is not Autistic. She did have some developmental delays/sensory issues, but those have mostly resolved with intervention (she's 4). She does have many food allergies, eczema, etc. Recently the child had some issues w/her vision (strabismus which came on gradually but was not there in infancy/toddlerhood). She now wears glasses. Parents & sibling were tested. Only Dad has high mercury via blood test. Mom learned that there is a river nearby which is apparently mercury toxic. Would you have any recommendations for this family? I know they won't be comfortable venturing outside mainstream, but they do want to pursue chelation. Your advice would be greatly appreciated!
