Amalgama and breastfeeding

[Guest guest]

Hello!

My 2 y.o. son is autistic and I am still breastfeeding him. I also have

an amalgama filling, quite an old one. I cosider helating him with ALA

only, but I wonder whether mercury from amalgama can pass to breast

milk and be a source of contamination for my son?

Yes it passes through breastmilk. So as long as he is nursing you

cannot give him ala. You need to wait until three months after he is

weaned to use ala. Also, vaccinating him is another source. So you

either need avoid further vaccines, or wait until three months have

passed since his last one.

I chelated my NT son with oral DMPS/ALA when he was breastfeeding. I

have five amalgams. We have consulted with Andy Cutler. Andy was

aware of this and did not see a problem. Anyway, my NT breastfed for

5 years. He had a slight speech delay at age 3. The speech delay

disappeared within 5 round of chelation. This was noticed by my ASD

son's team of therapists as well.

Ok, this may be a really silly question, but what about eating fish?

We're not supposed to eat fish while chelating?

Mercury bioaccumulates in fish (and other organisms) so the higher up the food

chain, the more you get because they get it from the fish they eat and it all

adds up. Tuna, swordfish, tile fish and one other which I forget are definitely

on the list of ones to avoid (whether chelating or not) as is anything caught in

the Great Lakes. Seafood (crustaceans) are also reportedly high in mercury.

Personally, I've been vegan for years.

I'm a vegetarian too, but this was just one of those simple curiosity

questions. I know that most fish are high in mercury and best avoided

in any situation and all, but I was curious about the guideline for

people who chelate AND eat fish...
