Re: Women with more amalgams more likely to have severely autistic child

[Guest guest]

Guess I dodged a bullet. 3rd child; mild on the spectrum. I had 11 amalgams in

place at the time. All had been there for at least 20 yrs.

Makes some sense. My son is severly Autistic. He has no fillings but I have

oodles. As a child most of my teeth were filled. My first born had Downs. Maybe

they were just set up by my health issues.

yes i have 13 which have been their since i was a kid, my first two girls were

fine, except first born had severe thrush that needed 6 bottles of nystatin, my

first son, born after the girls is profoundly disabled started with epilepsy at

2.5months, then had cataracts appeared in both eyes at 7months, loosly diagnosed

with " a typical type of musle, eye, brain disease " which they told me was

genetic!!! Funny thing is knowing what i know now, he started fitting basically

a week after his first set of vaccines which included the HIB! Then my youngest

who was a little lazy (and still is) but was babbling and had great eye contact

and making milestone a little late but never the less was still making them,

then had the MMR, and it all went downhill from there. Forgot to mention my

girls never had the MMR or HIB, hib wasnt arround at that time and MMR was in

news alot about safety, i actually got called into the doctors office because i

refused to vaccinate my eldest daughter with the MMR and i basically told the

doctor if he wanted to sign a letter drawn up by a solicitor to say that the MMR

was safe i would then have it done, he just said that i was absurd and it was

never up for discussion again.
