heavy metals ie mercury, lead, etc.

I want to remove the heavy metals from my autistic childs body. I have heard about using DMSA chelation but am afraid of the possible side affects. What other methods are available besides DMSA and are they as effective?

[Day by Day]

Gale--one method that is being used more lately and is reportedly having good results is MT Promoter from the Pfeiffer Treatment Center outside Chicago. Their website is www.hriftc.org (I think, or search for the treatment center.) This is said to be safer than standard chelation.

Another way to eliminate heavy metal toxicity safely is to provide the body with supplements to raise the immune function so that the body can heal itself. Look up www.mannatech.com they have products to enhance immune function ( their products are composed of glyconutrients and phytochemicals, things that should be in our foods, but are not any more due to toxins in our eviroment and the way that our produce is harvested)

There is anther website www.glycoscience.com with a myriad of scientific evidence to support their findings. I have read several testimonies of autistic children who were greatly helped by these nutritional supplements.

Our son has Tourett's syndrome and after only about a month of being on the products we have noticed about an 80% improvement- he also has heavy metal toxicity. Good Luck!

I agree with the Pfeiffer recommendation above. But would also check out the DAN! list of practitioners since tend to stay up to date on the latest approaches. YOu can find it on the Autism Research Institute site. www.autism\ari.com

 

also I have heard that Pfeiffer's MT Promoter and other supplements are very helpful for some kids with autism but they might have to weather some side effects for a few weeks. That can be rough, but worth it when it helps.

a news program highlighted a family last week that had used chelation for their boy--about 4 years old I think--and it had worked wonders, reversing the autism. they also followed the gluten-casein free diet and other changes. i understand they are now suing the manufacturers of vaccines that had mercury in them. but it gives a lot of hope. and maybe there are better things than chelation, but in any event now they know it can be done! And maybe it --or something like it--will help other conditions also that probably were aggravated by the toxic mercury.

There is an excellent diet for kids with autism which is found in the book "Breaking the Vicious Cycle" by Elaine Gottschall. The program is for people with digestive diseases like Crohn's, Colitis, etc., but parents have found this diet changed their children completely. It is gluten and casein free, but it actually goes a step further, as it can be more complex than just gluten or casein.

 

Also, there are lots of autism articles at this site http://www.redflagsweekly.com/features/archive.html

These folks monitor all the news reports from all media. Nick Regush was the health editor for ABC News and Peter Jennings. If you search you will also find articles written by parents describing their journey into and back out of autism. Very enlightening and extremely hopeful.

 

Also, this months issue of Mothering Magazine has several articles on vaccinations, autism, and doctors and researchers who are doing groundbreaking work.

Here is a personal story of triump that is great.

How can one confirm the presence of mercury in your child? We switched pediatricians in the middle of our childs immunization schedule. I asked on a few of the shots if they were using the 'Mercury Free' injectibles, and was told yes.

 

We began noticing a little after our son's first year that he wasn't developing the way he was supposed to be. He has been diagnosed with PDD and we have begun the Gluten/Casein free diet and have seen some improvement. We have also begun giving him 125mg of DMG each day, though we can't say we have seen assitional improvement with the DMG.

 

We have begun ST/PT & OT, but would be interested in examinging additional options for us. Any insight would be most appreciated.

 

Thanks.

My son was diagnosed with Tourett's Syndrome and since last April I have been researching the subject. During the process we had a hair analysis done on our son (which is a very accurate form of testing for toxins in the body) his mercury level was almost toxic, but not quite; however apon further investigation we discovered that unless mercury is tested for within 3 months of exposure the reading is not accurate ( the levels can be much higher in the body because mercury binds itself to the organs including the brain). The only way to check for mercury at this point is to have your childs urine checked periodically during chelation ( a process which pulls mercury and other toxic heavy metals out of the body) there are many ways to do this safely. We are currently working with a homeopath. My son has had some various test to check for various nutritional defficiencies and we noticed that alot of his defficiencies and metal toxicities are almost exactly what many autistic children show just not as severe. I found very valuable information on the internet if you are interested I can give you some specific websites. An excellent book to read is "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Your Child's Vaccinations" by Stephanie Cave. She mentions that although they have dropped the level of mercury , the new immunizations still contain 5% mercury and being that it is the 2nd most toxic metal no amount is safe. We are all biologically different, an amount that may not seem to bother someone may seriously affect someone else.

Jen,

 

Any info you can provide would be greatly appreciated. My email address is jay@jator.net and I look forward to any info you can pass along.

my sons lead level was 11.9 and it is now 3.5 all i know is that it took5 years. i couldnt find anyone to help so i went to the health food store and detox him using herbs,minerals and homeopathic.

[Fidencio]

thanks fidencio

Hi... thought you could really do with finding out about NDF- also known as nanocolloidal detox factors which is probably one of the best means of detoxing the mercury and indeed other metals such as lead and cadmium from the body I have used it before during and after the removal of my mercury fillings and do not regret using it or removal of the fillings at all. This has made significant differences to my health, happiness and financial wellbeing. NDF is being used by qualified Doctors and practitioners in the USA and UK to help remove the dangerous mercury from children's systems. The mercury frequently enters the child's body as the mercury preservative thimerosal which is now banned in the USA pending litigation but scandalously still used in the UK. IT is used in many child and adult vaccines including MMR, DPT, Hepatitis B/C etc. Influenza vaccine. NDF effectively chelates mercury and other metals and toxins and it is passed out of the body via the kidneys in the urine. PLease type nanocolloidal detox factors on any serch and you will see what i mean. lIKE ANYTHING IT DOES NEED AN EXPERIENCED HAND! plEASE DO NOT BUY IT OFF THE NET AND USE IT YOURSELF. uSE AN EXPERIENCED PRACTITIONER . tHE SITE MAY ASSIST YOU ON THIS... GOOD LUCK.. CHRIS HARDY.

I am just curious, why vaccinate at all when vaccines cause so many problems? In Europe there is no vaccination mandate in most western countries. And their kids are not dying in droves. As a matter of fact their infant mortality rate is much less than ours. 1- 6 USA #25!

[Guest Chris Hardy]

Hi...have you heard of nanocolloidal detox factors...if not please see my post on this forum...742 views as of 8/12/04...NDF as it is known is probably the most efficient chelator of heavy metals.. I have used it for mercury filling protective protocols as a safety net to catch mercury released inevitably from the best Mercury free dentistry. They had to come out in order to help chelate Cadmium and Lead principally absorbed through my job .. firefighting... my source of illness!...your average firefighter is far more likely to be toxic with both metals and organic compounds( my next task is to detoxify organic compounds..steam room/Nutrient regimes ) than many other workers due to the scandalous lack of air quality analysis and limited use of Breathing apparatus

(COST SAVINGS!) at fires and other incidents...NDF is also very useful to detox heavy metals from mercury damaged ie vaccine damaged kids Autism, aspergers ADHD etc etc etc etc.

 

So please type in 'nanocolloidal detox factors' and view the uses and applications of NDF and other products such as PCRx used for autistic spectrum disorders..

 

Find aDoctor who knows what he is doing...if you in or can get to the UK I suggest Dr David Smallbone MB,ChB, LRCP, FCOH, MRCS, MFHom...write to Dr David Smallbone at Foxlow Grange, Harpur Hill, Buxton , Derbyshire, UK SK17 9LU...or tel 01298 24507.......Good luck...
