is it crazy to have a baby if i have mercury poisoning?

[Guest guest]

I am 37---almost 38---and have been chelating per Andy Cutler's

protocol since Sept '02. I'm guessing that I still have about 6-9

months left because I've taken a lot of little breaks between

rounds. Also, I've been trying to heal while living in NYC: bad

choice.

I am about to leave for a summer in Oregon and then some time

in Arizona. I have improved a lot and finally feel ready to live my

life. I desperately want to meet a guy and have babies in the next

2 years but I worry that even after 2+ years of chelation that

having a baby would be a big risk (to the child, not me). Do any of

you have opinions on that?

I just wonder what the permanent damage has been to my

pituitary and all related functions. I had high mercury and

arsenic, but normal mineral transport. I remained fully

functioning at full-time stressful jobs through the worst of it. Most

neurological symptoms have improved/disappeared. My issues

now are food allergies, chemical sensitivities and

thyroid/adrenal balancing (I'm on very low doses of Nature

Thyroid and hydrocortisone).

Should I give up on having my own children?

Any thoughts appreciated.

Don't know if you've considered acupuncture to balance things. Today I had my

acupuncturist balance my endocrine system, mainly to see if it will help clear

my face, since my future husband and I have decided not to have children (I'm

older than you).

Hi ,

sure, it's for you to decide, but I would decide to have children.

Mercury poisoning is a serious problem, but you don't have amalgams

and chelated yourself, that's why I think that your chances for

having a healthy baby are good. If you do not vaccinate your future

baby and try to feed him/her organic food, supplement omega 3 etc.

the baby will be even healthier.

Personally, I think you'd be crazy NOT to have children if you want

them. Sounds like you are well on the path to recovery and are

working diligently to get well. I'm 41 and haven't yet had my

amalgams removed - they will all be out by end of summer, though. And

I'm definitely planning on having children in the next few years, God

willing.

Best wishes,

My wife and I just had a health baby a 1 1/2 years ago and her mouth

is filled with amalgam. She is pregnant now and just about 5 months

ago we were going to start getting her amalgams removed and mine,

well we are going to hold of on hers as we also found out 5 months

ago she was pregnant again. We will probably wait now til after the

new baby is done breastfeeding before we have hers removed. We are

taking this approach as it seems to be common sense to avoid as much

as possible any mercury actually getting into her bloodstream, even

though we do have a holistic dentist who knows the proper way to

remove amalgams. I think he'd probably agree as well.

, while you have to decide for yourself, if I were you I'd fill

myself with healthy vits/minerals/fatty acids, eat healthy, organic

foods, pray to The Lord for guidance, and make all the babies I

wanted!

thank you to everyone who responded so positively to my post. it

gives me hope and lets me know i am not being selfish...

my life style choices are so healthy now--grass-fed meats,

organic everything, EFAs, Nourishing Wisdom preparations,

non-toxic home products, etc--that i think i can raise a very

healthy baby. just have to meet the right guy, who has also taken

care of his health!!

peace to you all,

julie

In a famous biblical story wise King identified the true

mother of a child by determining which possible mother was prepared

to put the welfare of the child before her own self-interest.

I would say you have passed the Test--no small feat in a

world of self-centered people. If you continue to build your health

over the next couple of years, I believe a child would be fortunate

to have you as mom.
