Re: is there a connection between CF and hg injury?

And get this-- cystic fibrosis was first identified around 1936 (or

so) in infants/toddlers dying from the disease, and isn't that about

when thimerosal was first being used in vaxes?

Hmmm...

Hi W,

Where can I find a list of CF symptoms? I check out another list

(cysticfibrosissupport, I am not sure if it is the one you are

referring to), but could not find a list of symptoms.

My son does not gain any weight and does not grow much... He does not

have asthma or respiratory problems, but has gut issues (like all

kids here, I guess..).

Is the sweat test a blood test? easy to do at any lab?

Thanks,

Merry,

I really wonder about that also. My 19 mo. old nephew had the sweat

test done. The doctors said he doesn't have CF, but he is a carrier.

He always has resp. problems. He was recently in the hospital for

constipation problems...ended up doing surgery on his intestines,

they were blocked and folding within themselves and removed his

appendix because they said the intestines were wrapping around it

and it would just happen again.

He is short and light in weight.

He doesn't have any words. My gut feeling is that all of these

things are due to the mercury.

There is no history of CF in the family, but there are people with

ADHD, alzheimers, " autism " . So I really believe CF is another form

of mercury poisoning.

Looking in the book, Prescription For Nutritional Healing, I found

that a lot of the reccommended supplements for CF are the same ones

we use for mercury poisoning...Proteolytic enzymes, Vit. A, Vit. B

complex, Vit. B12, Vit. C with Bioflavenoids, EFAs, Protein, Zinc,

etc... It also says people with CF are low in selenium, Vit E, DHA

and AA.

To me it just seems that CF and mercury poisoning are one in the

same. I am by no means an expert, but I think you are on the right

track. With the supplements, enzymes and chelation I really believe

your son will get healthier.

I wish I could say the same for my nephew...still has no words, is

toe walking again. His mom won't listen to me, she believes doctors

know all, unfortunatly.

, you can locate CF symptoms by doing a google search. Just

go to www.google.com and then type in cystic fibrosis symptoms and it

should pull up lots of hits for you. Without having the asthma/lung

problems though, it would be highly unlikely for your child to have

CF. Ethan fits some of the risk profile in that he was born with a

meconium ileus (plug)(i.e. the meconium never came out on it's own),

and he has the lung problems, and the digestive problems. He however

is of normal height and weight, so that's not consistent with CF.

I'm not sure I'm going to test for it in that even if he was CF, the

first line of treatment I would want to try with him would be

nebulized glutathione, and I plan to do that anyway this summer in

regards to his asthma. Having him dx'd CF would not change how I

treat him, and it might even make more problems for me in that it

would set us up to be following a certain protocol of meds or else

face possible CPS referrals. So for now, I'm not leaning towards

testing. Anyhow, just wanted to say that you can look into it, but I

really doubt it's CF, and without the lung probs I doubt a doc would

refer for the testing. The weight gain probs/digestive probs you are

seeing with your child is more due to the mercury toxicity and also

you might join susan owens sulfurstories board because I recall that

in the past, they had discussed the relationship between certain

sulfur pathways and height/weight gain problems. The CF disease just

seems like another hg-insult disease to me.
