My son is being given mercury!

[Guest guest]

My 25 year old son is autistic. He is forced to stay in a residential

placement far from home. Yesterday I sent an e-mail to the home

recommending he be seen by a homeopath or other complementary

therapist as antipsychotic drugs seem to offer him no benefit. Today

I called to speak with my son. A senior member of staff at the

placement informed me my son has been getting mercury and that was in

keeping with my outlook. I was shocked! I asked for the

qualification of the person who decided to give him mercury. It seems

clear the person is not a doctor but the member of staff did not know

what the professional qualification of this person was.

I cannot understand why I was never told this person was involved with

my son. I cannot understand why I was never told of her

recommendation. I cannot understand why my view was never sought. I

cannot understand why I was not informed when he started being given

mercury. Why the secrecy?

If you have any thoughts or suggestions please share them with me.

Thank you.
