Guest guest Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 I personally believe that it is just not thimerosal alone. Possibly a genetic component and definitely a faulty immune system for my son (born 3/1999). Any amount is dangerous and looking at the circumstances that they were dispensed in too. Were they healthy at the time of immunization? Did they have a cold or other immune issues at the time of immunization. Today physicians should not vaccinate if a child is not feeling well or showing signs of being or becoming sick. Your son may have been able to excrete enough not to have the symptoms be severe or there are additional factors that obviously not completely founded yet. For us, I believe that my child's PDD-NOS (mild that it is) is related to thimerosal and MMR pushed his immune system over the edge. Neither of my children will be vaccinated again! Thimerosal or not. I just received the results from my pediatrician about my 4yo's titers.... he has antibodies that are fine and will not have to be immunized next year for Kindergarten.... not that I was going to do it anyway. Just my thoughts on the matter. Jackie----------------------- >I just finished reading " Evidence of Harm. " I thought it was a great > book, and I do believe in the thimerosal connection to autism.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/S/smith/smith_minamata.html The mother bathing her very disabled mercury poisoned child, The mothers in Japan had children severely mercury poisoned yet they showed little or no symptoms of mercury poisoning. Not all the children had severe mercury poisoning like this child, Some did not show any symptoms for years after, Some had no symptoms. Everyones body is diffrent. Why do some children die after getting one vaccine? And some develop ADHD? Why do some who smoke thier whole lives never develop cancer but the wife who never smoked does.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 My son has had no dental fillings. I don't think my brother has many, if any at all, and I don't know about my uncle, but I doubt it. I did have a DDI hair analysis done on my son. The hair was taken on 11/2/04 (and I was foolish enough to get him the flu shot on 12/23/03). The mercury level on the hair analysis was 0.04. Also, his behavior, particularly at school, deteriorated right after he came back from winter break in January 2004. We haven't started chelating yet, but we're getting ready. We do have another son, 3 years old, born January 2002. He also had the flu shot in December 2003 when he was 23 months old (all the press about the potentially fatal flu really scared me; I'll never make that mistake again.) He only had one shot, not the booster, due to the vaccine shortage (thank goodness for small favors). In almost all respects, he is very nt. He is very, very talkative. I clocked one of his sentences at 14 words! He is very friendly, and says " hi " to lots of people he passes in stores or on the street. But, when he goes to the recreation department classes he takes in a gymnasium, he is running around doing his own thing while most of the other children are doing what they're supposed to. And when the neighborhood children are outside and playing " duck duck goose, " he is walking around doing his own thing again. We have a twelve year old daughter, too. She is very neurotypical, except she is incredibly sensitive when it comes to clothing. So, I am wondering if they, too, may slightly be affectedd by mercury. > > <tt> > I just finished reading " Evidence of Harm.

My NT 4 yo daughter's hair test looked much worse than that of my Asperger's son. She met the counting rules, he didn't. I'm chelating them both...

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Many things could have affected your son's situation. Was he sick when he received the vaccines? Did he get the Hep B at birth? The first six months are CRUCIAL for exposure to mercury; perhaps your son was exposed much earlier than they were. Was he on antibiotics? That strongly affects clearance of mercury.

Not always. All four of my kids were injured by vaccines. The severity of their injury is directly correlated with the timing of their vax. #1 boy -- First vax late, he was sick at age 2mos. Not dx'd, but probable dx before biomedical interventions would have been AS/CAPD/ADD. Now, after biomedical, probable dx would be ADD. #2 boy -- First vax HepB at birth. Dx'd classic Kanner's autism, severe, low functioning. Now, would probably be dx'd language delay only. #3 boy -- First vax at 2mos. Not dx'd, but probable dx would have been PDD/language delay/SID. Now, probable dx language delay only. #4 girl -- First vax at 2mos. Stopped vaxing before the MMR. Not dx'ed, but severely food intolerant. Now, entirely NT, waaaaaayyyyy too social, talks waaaaayyyy too much LOL I have also recently discovered my kids are iron toxic. I have begun eliminating the iron, which has produced some WONDERFUL improvements. Now at this point they are fully chelated, all virus issues eliminated, fully supplemented to the point they don't need most supplements any more, etc, so maybe the major improvements are not only related to the removal of the iron, but because it has significantly affected #2's language ability, I know that at least for #2, iron toxicity was a MAJOR consideration.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Remember that your husband's genetics come into play here as well. If his side is strong on clearing mercury, that could help your son. We seem to have this sort of scenario as my side has the MS, etc. while his side doesn't.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Hi Pam, I am a chemist and I health consultant and I have a health practice. I focus on the entire person, body, mind, spirit & emotion. I have taught nutrition and I primarily focus on: (1) getting good nutrition & supplements in (2) getting toxins out of the physical body + the home environment Personally, I have had very high mercury poisoning. Have you? It causes numerous symptoms. One minute you can't think straight, foggy headed, etc., and the next you can't sit still. I am high intelligence and it was crazy making... Mercury affect your entire nervous system. The key is to get it out, and to support the body, nutritionally, and with immune system boosters. What do you use for cleaning products, laundry detergent, face soap, bleach, air freshener, floor mop, etc.? Would you like me to assess whether the ones you use are contributing toxins or not? Does your son eat commercial cereal, processed food, candy, chips, soda pop, prepared desserts (donuts, cakes, cookies, etc.), non organic meat, chicken, eggs, dairy, etc.? It is challenging at times, without DNA testing, to determine what is hereditary vs what is environmentally (cleaners + food) induced. What is simple is to remove the toxins and to see what happens. Your brother & uncle could very well be reacting to mercury, too. How old are they? I am 51 and I was poisoned. I hope this helps, a little. Take care, P.S. I live in Toronto, where do you live? We are stuggling to get spring here. The weather warmed up and then cooled down to around 10 C (50 F), with the evenings cooling off to close to slightly above the freezing mark...! And, to top it off, squirrels ate all of my tulip buds today... they would have opened in a few days...! If I don't chuckle, I'll scream! :-) The little beggers...! :-) Have a great day. -------------- From: " Shepard " <_Shepard@...> Date: Sat Apr 30, 2005 6:00 pm Subject: [ ] Re: 3rd generation of Asperger's Syndrome Oh, I meant the counting rules rather than the mercury reading.
