yes, unfortunately. This would be possible even without

the amalgams falling out during your pregnancy. Of course

the amount of toxic metals in mom's body would be a factor.

Warning: chelation is VERY VERY controversial, so there is

no agreed upon answer. I am TELLING YOU that I am giving you

a " biased " answer (and so will everyone else IMO!)

Okay: here is my answer: here is a summary of Andy's recommendations:

http://home.earthlink.net/~moriam/Andy_dose_sched.html

This is the best *effective* method I know of. I do

recommend it and think it is generally " good " .

I would also recommend that you read the following (at least

the beginning part) and consider getting a hair test done:

http://home.earthlink.net/~moriam/HOW_TO_hair_test.html

In SOME cases, a hair test can be important -- e.g. kids

with high lead or high copper--- good to know as it can

influence how to chelate....

> 3. What kind of results do you usually see when you begin

chelation.

(I don't know about usually. Many kids will have SMALL

improvements with each round. Many will also have a number

of problems such as yeast [very common], crankiness, red

cheeks, runny noses, sometimes increase of stimming or

hyperness or other behavioral/emotional stuff....)

because the medical and dental establishment maintain that

they are NOT harmful. For amalgams, you can go to the American

Dental Association's website and read their statement on this

topic. It is not exactly fun reading. It is kinda scary how

easy it is to really effectively brush aside mercury toxicity

as an issue of any relevance. As for shots, well, there is

a seemingly-constant stream of news stories and studies and

whatnot which conclude that mercury in shots is okay and is

FOR SURE not related to autism/ADD/etc. There are also some

" good " sources and responses, but the ratio of " no problem

with shots " stories is still the majority by far, I think?

In California for the last year or 2 dentists have been

required to give patients information about the dental materials

they use. My dentist had me read a paper and sign that I had

read it (I live in California).

There are many organizations trying to promote many kinds

of changes to warn people, ban the use of mercury, and so on.

Here are my questions....<BR>

<BR>

1. Is my possible exposure to mercury during my pregnancy enough to <BR>

affect my son.<BR>

<BR>

*Yes, and did he get hep B vaccine?

2. What are some of the best chelation treatments out there. I have <BR>

read alot about ALA but do not have a clue where to start.<BR>

<BR>

*Check out the FAQs of this list, specifically the Andy's protocol.

3. What kind of results do you usually see when you begin chelation.<BR>

<BR>

4. Why aren't people warned about these fillings and shots if they <BR>

can be so devestating to us and our children?<BR>

<BR>

>

*Because the ADA and pharmaceutical companies have powerful lobbies and don't

want us to find out.

What type of sensory issues? What does he seek?

Yes

Here is my general info page

http://www.danasview.net/chelate.htm

I use ALA and it was 60% of my son's recovery.

> 3. What kind of results do you usually see when you begin chelation.

It was difficult at first, negative behaviors tended to increase. But

improved as it went along.

> 4. Why aren't people warned about these fillings and shots if they

Because it is politically incorrect.

Dear New person,

1) Absolutely. In fact, quite a few of our moms had fillings put in, taken

out, or broken down during their pregnancies.

2)There is much controversy over this, but check out the files. Andy's

protocol has proved helpful for many people.

3)Results vary. This is a marathon, not a sprint. It's a routine you get

used to doing, I guess. Some kids don't excrete mercury for quite a while.

A lot of other metals may come out first. Eventually, many people see

little things changing in their kids that add up to big things over time.

4)Politics and money!
