Guest guest Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Makes you wonder. My son was born with blond hair. After his MMR vaccine when he was 15 months old, beside his awful 106 temperature and losing his language, he hair went from blond to medium/dark brown. I really think the change in hair color had to do with that darn MMR vaccine. [ ] light brownish hair tells us anything? My wife & I are of Asian origin & our hair (including our relatives) are all dark black, straight/thick hair. However, our 7yo ASD son's hair is slightly light brownish & has been as such since birth. His twin sister (who is NT) has dark hair like us too. I've sent his hair for Trace Elements Inc testing but it showed normal levels of heavy metals. I've not done the DDI hair test. His hair is also of finer strands compared to mum/daddy/sis. Any insights, views, clues is appreciated. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 It could be something as simple as genetics. Our family is from a very small country in Eastern Europe that was the cross road and stomping ground of many Euro-Asian wars. As a result, we have some Mongolian blood in us...that is we found this out after my cousin was born and had that very round face and telltale eyes. She doesn't look European/Caucasian at all. So, way back in history, you just might have some ancestors you didn't know about. Otherwise, if it had a reddish-orange tinge to it, my understanding is that it is copper toxicity related. Or so we're told by our Dr since my son only has red hair in his crown. No where else. Does this help?

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 This is certainly believable. The change in hair color typically occurs around age 7 or 8 when " adrenarche, " a poorly understood change in what the adrenals are doing, occurs. Mercury poisoning as one often gets from vaccines affects the adrenals and can greatly change the ratio of the different steroids they produce.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 I and my oldest child both have a form of cystic fibrosis (CF). I have heard it said on CF lists that blonde hair and blue eyes is " typical " for people with CF. I haven't read any scientific articles that state that but I have no reason to believe it is untrue -- afterall, CF most commonly occurs in people of North European descent. There was also a discussion on one CF list about the fact that some of the kids with CF seem to have unusually fine (thin) hair. I don't think any conclusions were drawn but there may be an association between fine/thin hair and illness. I know my hair looks so much better these days, now that I am healthier. I have come to believe that the reason people are interested in/attracted to " great hair " is because it seems to be a strong indicator of health. My oldest son's hair has also improved in recent weeks. FWIW, I was born with black hair which then turned red and then " snow white " (my mother's words). Over the course of my childhood, it gradually darkened to a brunette color. My hair is unusual in that can readily turn more red or more blonde. Right now, it is fairly blonde because I frequently wipe myself down with peroxide wipes and, since my hair easily lightens up, it has become quite blonde on the ends (still more brunette at the roots). My oldest child, the son with CF, also was born with black hair that turned very blonde and gradually got darker as he got older. He is prone to red highlights and when he grows a beard it is red. Red hair is associated with a genetic tendency to be less sensitive to some kinds of pain and more sensitive to others. I have several cousins who also followed this same pattern of being blonde as children and brunettes as adults. I have no reason to believe any of them has CF. But it is interesting that the child with the same genetic disorder as mom also followed the same hair pattern. I don't know if it directly related or not. Clearly, there is an association between hair color and other traits. But I don't know what to suggest the light brownish hair might mean. -- Michele talithamichele@... http://www.atraceofme.com If the base leaves, everybody loses: http://www.solanorail.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Have you looked into Pyroluria? One symptom of pyroluria is that the pyroluric person can be lighter in complexion then the rest of the family. > > My wife & I are of Asian origin & our hair (including our relatives) > are all dark black, straight/thick hair. > > However, our 7yo ASD son's hair is slightly light brownish & has > been as such since birth.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 My partner, who is pyroluric, was going grey since 25, something his family attributes to 'genetics' as all of them have gone grey early. Since taking Zn and B6 in pfeiffer doses for 18 mths his hair is going dark again, and his previously smooth chest now has a small collection of hairs on it. He was born hairless, from an amalgam filled rhogam mum, mercury toxic, cotton wool baby syndrome, stunted growth and the most amazing smooth porcelain skin I have ever felt. It's our lay opinion that the gene for pyroluria is switched on by mercury. From people I know whose hair has gone darker from commencing a raw food diet and other peoples posts on groups lead me to think that hair health is a reflection of mineral status in the body. Mercury causes deranged mineral transport and is not always evident for poor natural chelators in hair tests until well into chelation. Best of luck, if you post your DDi results on frequent dose chelation or adult metal chelation groups, they can interpret it for you. Can we do that here on this group?

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 We're also asian origin. My son has very light brown hair. I thought it was because of the sun. But I've noticed his hair color changing into red! That's definately when we started with chelation. I think there is some link with toxic and mercury.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Have you run a hair test recently? I have read that red highlights can possibly indicate high copper. Seemed true here.

Would this be from mercury in the pituitary gland? Thanks, Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
