Vaccines, hospitals (try a home birth if possible) pesticides, chemicals

in the home and in body products. I would not drink milk or use any

cheap dietary supplements. I would advise her to drink good water (not

tap, get reverse osmosis if possible) and avoid stress.

Keep away from mercury...

My child was mercury exposed a lot

I had an amalgam filling while I was pregant.

I already had a mouthful of amalgam fillings

I have negative blood so I got the rogam shots

My son was late so he got evicted from my belly with induction using

pitocin.

He was born when all the shots still had thimerosal.

I had a vitamin B shot as soon as I found out I was pregnant and I have

ondered if that had thimerosal too.

I had progesterone vaginal suppositories while I was pregnant and I

have wondered if there was any thimerosal in that.

When my son got all his shots... as directed,,,, he got Tylenol which

actually reduces your glutethione needed to get the junk used in the

shots out of your body.

As a result......... my son has mercury poisoning and his ped is

referring him to another doctor for chelation.

The mercury probably messed up his immune system and gave him a leaky

gut. My son is normal as long as he does not eat gluten or dairy. But

if he takes in those proteins, he is an ASD kid in need of help.

My thoughts:

Absolutely no vaccines for mom while pregnant or baby when born. Mom

shouldn't have any dental work done while pregnant if she has amalgam

(silver) fillings. Mom shouldn't eat fish or any other potentially

mercury laden foods. Avoiding other heavy metal exposure is a good

thing too. A sound, healthy diet, low in sugar and avoiding caffeine

which stresses baby's developing system is good too. Clean filtered

water with NO chlorine or fluoride. AND do not give baby fluoride no

matter how safe and necessary the pediatrician says it is. The better

nutrition that baby gets in the womb, the better its chances of

developing a healthy system that can deal with toxins and handle its

nutrients.

#1 on my list though - DO NOT LET THEM INDUCE LABOR unless it is a truly

life threatening emergency. Let the baby come when it is ready and

mom's body thinks it is ready, not when some doctor thinks it will be

convenient. I've seen too many kids induced only to have underdeveloped

systems that can't handle the new onslaught of our toxic world.

no flu shots, no tuna fish, no dental work beyond teeth cleaning, no rhogam, no

pitocen or anesthesia at birth if possible, no iodine at birth, no hep B at

birth for baby, breastfeed if you can and eat well-stay away from MSG,

artificial colors and preservatives. Some people question the large amounts of

iron we take in prenatal supplements? No antacids like Tums -full of aluminum.

My daughter isn't autistic but has gut damage and some other issues. I

attribute that all to my leaky gut during pregnancy, eating tons of

wheat during pregnancy(found out afterward I'm sensitive to it), and

the abx during labor. So my suggestion is to limit/avoid gluten, eat

nourishing foods that help the gut, and avoid abx during preg and labor.

Avoid antibiotics, ask for blood test to confirm infection if required, (both my

kids were

prom, had a jab of penicillin in the arm during labour for no reason other than

as a

precaution for early rupture of membranes for the first delivery.

My first is ASD, the second isn't. I ate a bag of oranges a week with the

second, avoided

yeast & high starch foods, my body was asking for this, at this stage my first

had not

been diagnosed.

The first pregnancy was a surprise, there was a lot of stress, a prior flu shot

that year & I

ate shark fish. I had 13 amalgam fillings for both pregnancies.

- no amalgams placed during pregnancy (or while breastfeeding)

- no flu shots

- no newborn shot

- alternate vaccine schedule or no vaccines for baby.

- do measles, mumps, and rubella separately, not 3in1 shot.

- eliminate toxins

- go organic, natural, etc.

- no mercury (compact fluorescent) light bulbs.

I'm sure there's more

I definitely question the amount of iron in prenatals - check the fda's

website for the daily recommended value for pregnant women - it's like a

1/3 of what's in prenatals, so prenatals have way too much iron!

Also, I don't think so much folic/Folinic acid is such a good thing either.

It can only help against spina bifida until the 7th or 8th week, from what I

read - and yet, they have us taking it the entire pregnancy.

I'm sorry for all of the posts, I just keep thinking of these..

No BPA baby bottles, tell her to buy glass.

Sorry, I am not so sure I even trust the bpa-free ones yet.

The canisters of powdered formula have said to have aluminum in them - have

her do research on this.

No soy formula for a boy. (Not saying this causes autism per se, but soy is

not good for baby boys.)

Cloth Diapers - If I knew then about all the chemicals in baby diapers, I

would have cloth diapered, no matter how inconvenient.

Make your own baby wipes - those are loaded with chemicals too. (You can

Google recipes for homemade baby wipes - really quite easy!)

No hep shot in hospital, no vitamin K in eyes either. No antibiotics unless

extremely necessary.

Buy the car seat WAY in advance and air it out for as long as possible - if

off gasses something fierce. The chemicals on them are truly toxic.

If her child starts to have stomach issues, reflux, colic - tell her to stop

vaccinating and go with the wait and see approach (if she feels she must

vaccinate)

No Tylenol before or after vaccines, use motrin once baby is old enough for

motrin.

Have her buy an organic baby mattress like this one:

http://whitelotus.net/ProductDetail-1375.html

Or at the very least wrap a mattress with the right kind of sheeting so the

baby is not inhaling what's coming out of that mattress.

Wash all baby sheets, blankets - anything with a flame retardant - 5 times

in Arm & Hammer Laundry Detergent - more than 5 times is even better.

Better yet, tell her not to buy any baby clothes/pajamas with the flame

retardants.

Tell her to not let her ped bully her into thinking she is doing the wrong

thing by not vaccinating.

Tell her to naturally treat a yeast infection if she gets one - and tell her

not to ignore it. A good yogurt should do the trick - she can eat it or use

an empty tampon applicator to get it where it's needed.

Avoid SEX.

Adopt an older child so you can see how they are.

I have not read all the posts, but so far I have not seen this one

Make sure to cook with good cookware, like glass or enamel. No

I had that metallic taste during pregnancy so badly, that I could not

tolerate my own saliva and used to spit it out. But I had 14 teeth

with amalgams. So for me I was tasting my amalgams due to the fact

that taste and smell are heightened during pregnancy. Everyone told me

the foul taste was just due to elevated hormones which made no sense

to me, because not every woman tastes metal while pregnant, and why

would my own hormones taste funny??!

Our suggestions on avoiding autism:

Make sure mom and dad don't have amalgams. If they do removed them,

detox and wait 18 months to conceive.

Make sure mom has not had any recent vaccines (previous year or two).

Don't get any vaccines while pregnant (no flu or whatever).

Don't have dental work done while pregnant. (you will be exposed to Hg

vapor in the dental office. contrary to what the dentist says, your

teeth will not fall out if you skip one cleaning. You can get it done

after baby is born.)

Don't eat anything from the sea. NO Fish or seafood at all.

Take lots of vitamins/minerals and eat organic. This includes metal

free cod liver oil each day, flax seed. (Nourishing traditions has

excellent dietary guidelines for pregnancy.Eggs every day,yolks too.

You need good quality protein, and plenty of greens, b vitamins like

folic acid, Calcium too.

Don't have your baby in a hospital. (yes, I know that sounds odd but

babies born at home by midwives fare better. they are not subject to

paranoid interventions like vitamin K shots, antibiotics, bright

lights and the whole hosts of germs there)

This is the biggest!! Don't vaccinate your baby!!! Not just because

of the mercury or aluminum, but because it has been shown that the

junk in the vaccines causes autoimmunity, and causes the immune cells

of the brain to activate attacking the brain and cns. It also causes

tons of other things like allergies, asthma, diabetes, seizures,

encephalitis, brain damage and even death in some babies. This is what

SIDS really is. Children can be kept healthy through diet and common

sense, so if they do catch anything, they will fight it off effectively.

Breast feed your baby! I know it's so not convenient these days, but

it needs to be put on the top shelf. It protects baby from illness and

brain injury and metals. Formula is really nutritionally inadequate.

Begin egg yolks at 4 months and cod liver oil for baby (again

Nourishing traditions).

The fewer interventions the better...no ultrasounds, no medications

while pregnant..not even tylenol which they claim is safe. Mom should

avoid using cleaners that are not natural, don't dye your hair, paint

your nails, paint the nursery, work in a hair salon, get your hair

permed..etc...try to have someone else pump your gas..you get the

idea. You want to avoid anything unnatural or toxic. What goes in mom,

goes in baby.

Fortunately for me, any of this stuff made me vomit instantly.

I found it interesting that when I had my son 6 years ago, the doctor

told me to avoid most of this stuff. But when My sister was pregnant 2

years ago, they told it was ok to get her hair dyed at the salon

(never mind the fumes), and painting the nursery was ok. And if she

wanted her flu shot...etc. She refused of course, and did not do any

of these things because I told her otherwise. They also offered her

antidepressants! While pregnant for the blues you get sometimes when

pregnant. Which I could not beleive they did, because there are

lawsuits about paxil causing heart defects in infants...

The least one can do is: don't vaccinate the baby and eat as healthy

as possible, don't take any medications or vaccines while pregnant.

They also say to avoid pain drugs and inductions if you can. This may

not be possible for everyone, but with a midwife, my understanding is

that these type of things don't happen often.

For my son his poisoning was from: mom's amalgams and 2.vaccines.

This is evident by the high amount of aluminum in his hair.

If at all possible don't live near coal fired power plants or factories.

soy is not good for girls either. soy slows down the thyroid.

If an infant cannot be breastfed, one can make excellent formula using

Nourishing Traditions recipes. There are nutritionally exceptional.

They even have a milk free one for kiddos who don't do well on the milk.

If you have to use disposables, get chlorine free ones. Same with

wipes..they sell natural ones if you don't want to make any. And for

the love of peat...avoid and and all their lovely baby

cleaning products that are full of chemicals. Find natural soaps for

baby, natural lotions and natural sun block. Don't use the other

stuff. Also natural diaper cream.

Buying only 100% cotton bedding and pajamas as they are not treated

with flame retardant chemicals. (those feety jammies are horrible)

Get a mattress wrap for the crib. They sell these online.

Wash the car seat padding before using it and try to avoid baby skin

contact with it. Same goes for play pens etc. They are treated with

antimony. I used cotton sheets to cover the play pen mattress.

You can purchase organic or natural bedding, but 100% cotton will

suffice and is more affordable. We covered the crib mattress with a

BabeSafe cover and then used all cotton bedding and pjs.

And no tap water for mom or baby. People buy that Nursery Water which

is nothing more than poison...they put fluoride in it.

These are the medications used for epidural:

bupivacaine or ropivacaine. The narcotics that are most commonly used

are fentanyl and sufentanil.

The fentanyl or sufentanil is often used with the bupivacaine.

I did not find thimerosal to be in the content. It is preserved with

methyparaben and only multidose vials. Individual vials do not have

preservative or antibacterial. And does contain EDTA. I am wondering

if EDTA is why you tasted metal?

The injectable sufentanil does not contain preservatives either.

At least according to Merck.

In any case, this stuff crosses the placenta..so probably not good for

baby. Opiods are not usually good for babies. But no mercury.

My understanding of ultrasounds is that not only does it create loud

noise in utero, but it heats up the babies cells. That can't be good.

The noise is why they always turn away when you try to look at them on

ultrasound. I agree...avoid em if you can. There's really no reason to

look at the baby other than we are impatient. Or in the rare cases of

potential health threats to baby.

You remind me of some TV show where they were talking about how a lot

They mentioned that phrase " Sex, drugs and rock and roll " and

I totally agree with avoiding ultrasounds, additionally as harmful as

ultrasounds are the baby's heart monitors. Both have the same type of waves that

cook and alter babies brains.

Take apart the carseat and wash the cover in disposable basket and live it for a

couple days in baking soda. Then wash 5 or more times.

Try to eat as much organic veggies and fruits as possible.

avoid all vaccines! have a beautiful, intimate homebirth! breastfeed your baby

and avoid all plastic diapers! use all cotton diapers with wool covers. Use a

natural detergent like seventh generation, ecover to wash the clothes. Also use

a non toxic soap to wash dishes, and natural soap for mama. Use chlorine free

water to shower/bathe. Buy a good shower filter.

Get in a time machine and head back to when

environmental changes happened unimaginably

slowly.

Or speed ahead to when humans figure out

they can't keep beating the crap out of

Mother Nature without dire consequences.

Did anybody else read the NYT article on

Bipolar kids? I wanted to throw up throughout.

One time in the piece the word autism appeared.

Not once did they question toxins or biomed

tests. It vaguely mentioned genetics to explain

their behavior. I thought the NYT was

progressive. Only mentioned big pharma as

a not so great answer and no mention of

epigenetics and body burden in a polluted world.

I'm just a mom and they are learned scientists.

What the $$$$?

[Guest guest]

I really like this answer from ...for us, one thing I would

change - in a vaccinating world, I would have gotten any shots my

babies got & keep them pretty much tied to my side (under 6mos at

least), so that we were " exposed " to the same things - btw, in this

world, I would be nursing, exclusively for that same 6mos or better

....wishing all the best answers
