Treatment

-WJLA Script-

Anchor:

THE CDC (website - news) CONTINUES TO SAY THE MERCURY

THAT USED TO BE IN CHILDHOOD VACCINES IS NOT THE CAUSE

OF AUTISM. BUT SOME PARENTS ARE SO SURE THE

GOVERNMENT IS WRONG THAT THEY ARE TREATING THEIR

AUTISTIC CHILDREN BY DETOXIFYING THEIR BODIES OF

MERCURY.

ONE LOCAL MOM SAYS THIS NEW APPROACH HAS CURED HER

CHILD OF AUTISM AND SHE'S NOT ALONE. MEDICAL REPORTER

KATHY FOWLER JOINS US WITH THIS CONTRAVERSIAL

TREATMENT.

Kathy Fowler on Set:

CURE -THAT'S A STRONG WORD WHEN IT COMES TO AUTISM.

PARENTS SAY CURE.

THE DOCTOR WHO DEVELOPED THIS PROCEDURE WON'T CALL IT

A CURE. SHE DOES SAY SHE'S GETTING CHILDREN OUT OF

THE AUTISM SPECTRUM. BUT TONIGHT CRITICS ARE CALLING

THIS NEW TREATMENT EXPERIMENTAL AND POTENTIALLY

DANGEROUS.

Story:

Holsworth : “He would never look at you in

the face never reacted to you calling his name. "

KRISTIN HOLSWORTH IS TALKING ABOUT HER SON TROY...

SHE KNEW SOMETHING WASN'T RIGHT AND HER FEARS WERE

CONFIRMED WHEN TROY WAS DIAGNOSED AS SEVERELY AUTISTIC

AT 18 MONTHS OLD. DOCTORS SAID TROY, WOULD LIKELY

NEVER SPEAK, FEED HIMSELF OR GO TO SCHOOL.

Holsworth " A part of me died that day because

I thought I would never hear him smile or laugh or

enjoy anything in life. "

DESPERATE FOR HELP, KRISTIN TURNED TO RICHMOND

PEDIATRICAN MARY MEGSON, WHO ENDED UP DIAGNOSING TROY

NOT WITH AUTISM BUT AS BEING MERCURY POISONED FROM

THIMERISOL - A MERCURY BASED INGREDIENT USED IN A

VACCINE KRISTEN RECEIVED WHILE PREGNANT AND A VACCINE

TROY RECEIVED AT 18 MONTHS.

DOCTOR MEGSON TREATED TROY WITH NUTRITIONAL THERAPIES

AND A PROCESS CALLED CHELATION. CHELATION USES DOSES

OF STRONG MEDICINE TO PULL TOXIC METALS FROM THE BODY.

Dr. Megson : " We're seeing children all over the

country improve as we pull heavy metals from their

body-some of the children. "

BUT CHELATIN IS CONSIDERED RADICAL, EVEN DANGEROUS BY

SOME DOCTORS BECAUSE THE POWERFUL MEDICINE NOT ONLY

GETS RID OF HEAVY METALS BUT ALSO ROBS A CHILD OF THE

HEALTHY MINERALS THEY ABSOLUTELY NEED.

DR SUSAN SWEDO OF NIMH SAYS " IT ISN'T RESPONSIBLE TO

PRECRIBE CHELATION FOR AUTISM. "

BUT DESPERATE PARENTS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD ARE

FLOCKING TO MEGSON WHO WARNS THIS IS NOT A

ONE-SIZE-FITS ALL APPROACH- AND SHE EMPHASIZES

NUTRITIONAL AND MEDICAL SOLUTIONS NEED TO BE

SPECIFICALLY TAILORED TO EACH CHILD'S NEEDS.

Dr Megson/ Pediatrician: " What helps one child

-for example a change in the diet-one child might have

a dramatic improvement-the next child might have a

dramatic improvement if you pull heavy metals out of

their body- it's different for each one of these

children. "

WORLD REKNOWNED AUTISM EXPERT DOCTOR STANLEY GREENSPAN

ISN'T NECESSARILY OPPOSED TO CHELATION AS LONG AS

PARENTS DON'T GIVE UP ON THE BEHAVIORAL TREATMENTS.

Dr. Stanley Greenspan/ Child Psychiatrist: “You

can't make blanket statements like you shouldn't try

any unproven approaches because we do all the time.

Each family has to make that decision with their

professional team.

BUT KRISTEN HOLSWORTH SAYS SHE ALREADY HAS THE PROOF

SHE NEEDS. TODAY DOCTORS SAY TROY IS OUT OF THE AUTISM

SPECTRUM DISORDER.

Holsworth: " My biggest worry was that my older

son was going to have to take care of him and I know

now that both of my children are going to live full

lives. My son is cured. "

Kathy Fowler on Set:

TWO IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMIND PARENTS... CHELATION

IS NOT FDA APPROVED AND SOME DOCTORS IN THE U.S. HAVE

BEEN ACCUSED OF HARMING CHILDREN BY USING CHELATION.

ALSO THIMERISOL - THE MERCURY BASED PRESERVATIVE HAS

BEEN REMOVED FROM MOST CHILDREN'S VACCINES WITH THE

EXCEPTION OF THE FLU SHOT AND DOCTORS ON BOTH SIDES OF

THE MERCURY IN VACCINE CONTRAVERY CONTINUE TO STRESS

THE IMPORTANCE OF VACCINATION.
