Re: concerned about literature

Welcome ,

There is a lot of information you can read on the FAQ's of this list. If

you are looking for more information regarding mercury toxicity, read more

at www.evidenceofharm.com and buy the book to read more about it.

www.generationrescue.org and www.safeminds.org are other good places to

research too. Andy Cutler's book " Amalgam Illness " is very good also-

http://www.noamalgam.com/ He participates on this list and helps us with

chelation, supplements etc.

Many parents see great results with diet (GF/CF diet) www.gfcfdiet.com and

others use enzymes to assist with digestive issues and malabsorption

problems. We don't have major gut issues and decided to use digestive

enzymes from Houston's www.houstonni.com and you can read more here about

enzymes www.enzymestuff.com and there is a section about encopresis that

would be beneficial to you. www.enzymestuff.com/rtencopresis.htm The book

" Enzymes for Autism and other Neurological Conditions " by DeFelice is

a book I highly recommend! Enzymes has done wonders for my two children

along with changing and improving their diet slowly, but surely. Dr.

Jaquelyn McCandless has a book called " Children with Starving Brains " that

is another one I recommend to have in their resources

www.autism-rxguidebook.com/DesktopDefault.aspx

As for testing your children, unless there is recent exposure to mercury,

nothing will show up in their blood stream that would alarm a mainstream

physician. You would need to have hair elements tests done through DDI-

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

The test is an OOP expense and costs $46 (so it is relatively cheap).

Mercury will impair mineral transport in the body. Once you have the

results of the test, Andy Cutler's 'counting rules' are on the above link to

determine if they would meet the criteria to suggest toxicity. You can post

the results on this list and ask Andy and others for their opinion on the

results.

I would continue to research on this list as well and continue to read. We

are chelating our 6 yr old with much improvement in a short time. My SLP is

SOOOOOOOOO impressed with his improvement within the last few months that

she asked me if I was doing something new with him..... this is the greatest

thing to hear (especially when they do not know what you are doing!)

Hope this helps and try to find a " rescue angel' from Generation Rescue in

your area for additional assistance with doctors in your area.

This sounds almost exactly like my #1. I have chelated him and given

supplements, and he has lost most of his " problem areas " but kept his

" gifted areas " .
