Guest guest Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Hi All, We just got the results of our Radon test of our home back today and we measured 6.2 (out of 10). Anything over 4 is considered too high so I know we need to take care of this. Also, when we did my son's hair test, uranium was in the red for him. Everything I have read indicates that Radon causes lung cancer. What other damage does it do? Any neurological damage? We have been chelating following Andy's protocal for about 12 rounds now. Based upon urine toxic metals test, my son is excreting a fair amount of mercury and lead. We are seeing some improvments, but no big WOW's. Is the Radon contributing to the problem? I have 2 kids. My son is almost 4, diagnosed with PDD-NOS and probably apraxia. My daughter is 2 1/2 and so far doesn't appear to fall on the spectrum, however, she has an expressive language delay and it appears that it also could be apraxia? Any link between apraxia and the radon? I'm just trying to piece this all together and come up with a plan. We are planning to have our soil tested soon just to see what other problems we may have. Thanks for any guidance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 , From what I am reading radon gas is the result of uranium breaking down in the earth. It releases this gas which gets into your basement. Since your son has high uranium..I smell something fishy here. This would make it likely that his high uranium is comming from home, the yard. Is your home new, or older. What is your community like industrial wise? What types of industry were there before you? I too have high uranium. I think I got it as a kid because I lived near a lake that is contaminated with it. Apparently, a uranium mining/storage company and some power plants that used uranium were all on this lake. I swam in it and our drinking water comes from it. Are you on a well? Put the kids on bottled water if they are not already. It is possible that the land in your area has natural uranium deposits too. Do you live in any of these regions: Eastern border of Pennsylvania,northern New Jersey and southern New York? The problem with radon gas is that your breathing radiation. I am sure that must do something neurologically. I cannot find any information on what it does. No one seems to have any information on neurological aspects only the lung cancer aspect. But if nothing else, it is depriving your son of oxygen, and that alone could be bad for his brain. Mainly, it would seem logical that any toxin is not good for growing children. This could be a factor. > > Hi All, > > We just got the results of our Radon test of our home back today and > we measured 6.2 (out of 10).
