Re: Can a parent who had mercury exposure pass it on to a child?

[Guest guest]

Yes. During pregnancy and and/or breastfeeding.

[Guest guest]

Yes. I know someone who severed in the gulf war (where you get tons of

vaccines at once in the military) and later went on to have two kids on

the spectrum. She was sure is was from the vaccines and so whe she had

her 3rd. child, she decided not to vaccinate and breast fed. Her son

started to show signs of autism too and her doctor tested her milk and

found she had metals in her milk.

I cannot remember where I read it, but I remember reading something

about a good way for a woman to detox is to get pregnant........I guess

the baby is like a sponge for all the bad stuff.

The mother can. If the mother is carrying mercury from previous

exposure it gets into the baby during pregnancy. This would be even

higher if the mother has current exposure while pregnant such as

amalgam fillings or a vaccine or eating fish. This same thing holds

true for pregnant women who had previous lead exposures. This also

gets into the baby.

As for fathers: we know that sperm carries mercury but what impact

that has on children we don't know. Obviously it might cause birth

defects but not sure about fetal/childhood exposure, as in actually

passing mercury to the baby.

Also if the parents work with toxic metals and track them into the house...

Yes, and my son and I are proof of it. I was poisoned in a lab

working with large quantities of mercury in my 20s, diagnosed as HFA

in my early 30s, and had a child who was diagnosed with severe,

uncurable autism at three. He has had only one shot after careful

nutritional preparation at 7 mos. and we have been getting mercury

out for 5 years now. Much more than from one shots. It is lab quality

mercury. And other heavy metals, too, as the mercury stopped the

excretion of the others he was exposed to in " dirty " states like MD

and FL. We are still not finished because it is so tightly bound, the

bulk having been passed in utero. The more we get out, the more he

talks and sings and learns. Matter of fact, he never shuts up now! He

talks " Dutch " a lot so we are doing AIT again. A lot of metals are in

his brain, near the auditory and ocular structures, last to come out

after tissues and bones. It has been a long careful and expensive

struggle.

Hey ,

We are interested in the description of the chelation process or

protocol that you used for you and your son. Could you give us more

details or should we give you a call? Also was your son non-verbal in

the beginning?

I didn't know old exposures to mercury could cause fetal burden. I

thought that since mercury has a short half-life in blood and is

excreted in urine that older exposured didn't affect the fetus. I

mean, obviously the mother who suffered an old exposure still has lots

of mercury that went into her brain and deeper tissues, but that

shouldn't mean new exposure for the fetus. That's not the case with

lead, since it is stored in bones and since pregnancy causes a big

mobilization of minerals from the bones, lead re-enters the

blood-stream and new exposure occurs. Does anyone know how this

re-exposure of mercury during pregancy occurs?

Thanks

If you can get your hands on Steingraber's book, _Having Faith_,

you'll become aware of the effects of lots of different environmental

toxins on fetal development, but she has a nice review of the effects

of mercury, too.

The half life of mercury in the body is 20 years. Yes, 20 years to

get rid of half of an exposure. So that would put me at almost 200%

of the highest level allowed today if I'm lucky. Mercury goes deep,

I've read the body sequesters it very quickly to get it out of the

blood stream. I am still too loaded to chelate, it could make my

kidneys fail. The body tries to get rid of mercury any way it can

when the kidneys and liver are blocked, as in my case. My first child

died in utero. He was probably really toxic. Of course no doctor took

me seriously until the autism crisis got people examining toxins. And

even then he knew very little compared to what he knows now.

THere is some good information out there about industrial exposure.

Imagine breathing mercury vapors all day long, every week for about a

year and a half. I had white streaks in my hair by age 22, couldn't

stand sunlight for years, and lost so much weight they wanted to put

me on IV. My gums had to be surgically replaced in spots and worst of

all, no doctor knew what to do about the initial poisoning. Now I

have pre-cancerous tumors. That's how the body tries to encapsulate a

toxic overload when the excretion routes are overloaded, besides in

the fatty tissues. The body is clever. And to top it off, my family

has a history of weak excretion and kidney disease.

What happened to and I is very different from what is going on

now with shots and coal-fired electrical plants and fish et al, but

the end result has been the same. I don't know how to compare it but

if you read some of the case studies on mercury removal, it often

doesn't come out for years - it's extremely hard to get out and it

always seems to be last (or with uranium as in 's case). Mercury

forms some of the tightest bonds of any element in the periodic

table, and it is a heavy heavy metal (as opposed to say aluminum,

considered a light heavy metal). Now we are lucky to finally have a

doctor who knows what she is doing to the nth degree and we have a

lot of confidence that this will be over in a few years for both of us.

You know, we are a very clear cut case and I really get tired of

people saying it isn't what I say happened and it can't be that giant

exposure. It was and it is. I have researched this for years trying

to save myself, and then my second son, and I came from a science

background in the first place. I think I have read just about about

every case of industrial mercury poisoning that has happened and lab

techs like me often end up dead, from kidney blowout during chelation

or cancer later.

We are the worst case scenario, total devastation of three lives by

mercury (four is you count my husband's grief over this) and believe

me, we wouldn't have to chelate our son for years for just one shot

and pollution.

I think the bottom line is toxins, in whatever form, heavy metals/

viral/chemical/etc., come together to cause worsening problems and

illness, both physical and " mental, " and our children are the

hardest hit. It is a deep subject and an unpleasant one. This is my

last post because it is a painful subject for me.

Mercury can change gene expression. Thus mercury exposure

can turn a gene on that was previously off. This change

can be passed on the one's children and grand children and

great grand children ... Thus some of the effects of Hg

exposure can occur to a child without that child undergoing

any mercury exposure.

[Guest guest]

I'm thinking this is a great explanation. I remarked one time to someone that

our's appeared to inherit every lousy physical problem any of her relatives had

for the last 5 generations and that person told me that mercury can cause genes

to be turned on that would not have been expressed.
