Yes, I have a new book that was just published. It contains 450 coconut recipes.

It's titled the Coconut Lover's Cookbook. It contains a variety of recipes using

coconut oil, milk, and meat. Recipes include salads, beverages, soups, chowders,

main dishes, side dishes, and desserts. There are plenty of ways described in

this book to add coconut oil into the diet. The book is available from

Amazon.com and many of the coconut oil dealers on the Internet.

First of all welcome. I feel autism is mercury poisoning - so is there

degrees of it - well, yes, but I like to think of it as a tolerance level. Dr.

Amy Holmes - see her sight - shows the effectiveness rates among various age

groups - honestly we don't have a lot of info on adults except for lead

studies. After with that said, check out Pat Sullivan's blog - he has a lot of

interesting things to say. As for the damage question, I don't think we know

how

much we can recover - people are taking B12 shots to help with this along

with chelation. There is also other things being done for neuron repair...I

will let others answer those questions.

Hi ,

Others here are much more qualified to talk about different degrees of

autism than I am.

I think that the problems mentioned below can be mercury related

because I have experienced them, and heard other toxic people talk

about them:

I made it through school and college with mostly As and Bs too.

Mercury does different things to different people because we are all

genetically a bit different and we get exposed to different doses at

different times during development. There are some common things that

seem to happen to lots of people.

There is always the risk that damage could be permanent. The reports

that I have read from people who have chelated (with Andy's protocol

and supplements) indicate to me that in many cases the damage can be

reversed. There are some reports that came in on the frequent dose

chelation group in the last couple of days from people who are busy

reversing damage, and it's working for them. Your chances of getting

well are huge because of your age and because the protocol takes the

toxins out slowly and provides the materials that your body needs to

heal.

I am twice your age, have probably had the mercury in me twice as

long. My chances are not as good. But even in the short time that I

have been chelating I have already reversed some problems.

> I'm so

> scared that I'll never be well....

Speak back to fear and tell it that you will be well. Then try to

find something positive to think about (and to do) to displace the fear.

, Welcome to the list. Autism Spectrum Disorder: it's a spectrum.

Asperger's Syndrome is generally considered the " high " functioning end of the

spectrum. There's a book by Liane Holliday Willey entitled " Pretending to Be

Normal " It was only after her daughter was diagnosed on the spectrum that she

realized that she herself has Asperger's. You might find it interesting.

Several of the parents on this list consider themselves on the spectrum though

I'm not sure how many if any have official diagnoses. Shore is an adult

with Asperger's who has written several books. I haven't had a chance to read

his yet, but they might also interest you. There's an organization called AANE

(Asperger's Association of New England) that could provide info.

http://aane.autistics.org/ They will send you an information packet. Please be

aware that many of the adults on the spectrum and the organizations do not

beleive in or discuss recovery efforts but focus on

understanding, educating the public, and accomodation. S S

If it is Asperger's or Autistic Spectrum Disorder do you just have

the psychological symtpms or do you have all of the physical symptoms

of mercury toxicity, including the hormone imbalances. I have a long

list of symptoms that include thyroid, adrenal, and candida related

problems.

Thanks,

Mercury toxicity looks different in different people. It often looks like

autism or Asperger's, in others it looks like Alzheimer's, in some like MS or

CFS, in some like clinical depression. Issues like auditory hypersensitivity,

tactile defensiveness, desire for routine and sameness are often seen. If you

are chelating using Andy's protocol you're heading in the right direction. Did

you have a DDI hair analysis done and apply counting rules? What did it show?

Sometimes there are other toxic metals (arsenic, antimony, lead, etc) that need

to be addressed. For many there are also yeast and viral issues which need to

be addressed. Are you on a special diet? Sometimes gluten, casein, or phenols

are a problem.

Yes. Everyone in my family has/had some degree of symptoms related to

metal toxicity and other issues.

Sounds like me.

>>If

Not in my experience. The hard part is finding out what your body

needs. For example, ALA chelation was very beneficial for my kids,

but it was the supplements they tolerated AFTER chelation that caused

the most improvements. And figuring out which supplements those were,

was most of the difficulty. But once I figured it out, things really

started improving.

It's very possible. Keep chelating and supplementing well and drinking lots

of water and giving yourself breaks periodically and find out for yourself!
