No.

Try chelation. That makes sense.

Lots of pointless testing is just going to help her make bad decisions.

I think it makes sense to do a test for each child.

Some kids might not be autistic but may have some problems due to

metal poisoning, allergies for instance, or hyperactivity or tons of

other things.

The important thing to keep in mind is that the detoxification

process is very complex and that unfortunately it is not as easy as

comparing hair tests to mesure someone's toxicity...

If the NT kids also meet the counting rules, I would chelate them too.

Fortunately not all the children with metal poisoning are autistic,

or the rate would be much more higher than 1 in 150!

I don't think so. Even if the tests show scatter pattern for all the kids,

the one with the autism obviously has more issues with excretion of the

mercury. We did hair tests on all our kids and they all showed the scatter

pattern, but they are considered NT (only a practiced mother's eye can

notice the very slight merc. affects on these kids). I don't think this is

a " ruling out " issue. Let's face it--all our kids are poisoned--it's just

how many of them can get rid of it efficiently.

Why would you chelate someone who does not display any problems? Is

chelation really risk-free and easy on the person being chelated? I'ver

read several posts on this site where parents are having a lot of problems

with their kids during the process.

I read once where Dr. Amy Holmes found that her own toxic metals levels were

very high, but it didn't say that she chelated herself. Presumably then,

you would only put someone through chelation if they were display symptoms

of poisoning.

Just curious because I am very worried about whether I should do this to my

own son.

Best,

Lora

I think you hit the nail on the head: the point is, are all our kids

poisoned? Can a child have PDD-NOS or some other Spectrum disorder and have

it NOT come from metal poisoning?

I don't think I said to chelate if there are no problems.

What I meant to say is that a child who is not autistic but has other

problems, such as allergies, or being hyper, or any other symptoms of

mercury toxicity and whose hair test results meet the counting rules

would certainly benefit from chelation.

There's a good chance that if one kid has mercury (or other metal) poisoning

that the others will, too. It might help her determine sources of exposure in

some cases. Hope if she finds that the others have metal problems she'll

chelate them as well. The kids may have gotten mercury from her amalgams in

addition to any vaccines they had.

I don't know about the dental work during pregnancy, but I would doubt it.

I think it is pretty well-known where we live (SF Bay Area) that you aren't

supposed to do that. As for the coal plant, I really don't know. I can

check with her.

Thanks for your input,

Lora
