Guest guest Posted January 20, 2001 Report Share Posted January 20, 2001 , Amalgam fillings alone won't make your child autistic. I believe that my fillings may have contributed to may daughter's toxicity, but she has a genetic predisposition which decreases her bodies ability to detoxify itself. Thousands upon thousands of babies are born to mom's with fillings and are perfectly fine. I was pregnant with my son with the same fillings in my mouth and he is not autistic. So please, relax and enjoy your pregnancy! By the way, congratulations! [ ] pregnant - HELP!! > I just found out that I am pregnant.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2001 Report Share Posted January 21, 2001 While I can agree with most of what you are saying, I cannot agree with not breast feeding. You risk giving your child some mercury with breast milk, that is true. However, your child will not get all the antibodies that breast milk provides, nor all the other nutrients that are in breast milk but not in formula, such as DHA, and who knows what else that has not been discovered. The alternative is giving the baby bovine growth hormone and antibiotics with milk-based formulas, or thyroid-stomping, genetically modified soy formula. Given that breast milk is designed by God, and the other stuff is brought to you by man, the same idiots who bring us thimerisol, I'll vote for the breast milk any time!! Is there no RhoGAM without mercury? If you are Rh- and are sensitized, your baby will very likely die before birth if you do nothing, or end up otherwise damaged. The alternative, which I had to do because we had Kell isoimmunization (for which there is no RhoGAM equivalent) is have 4 in-utero blood transfusions. This means they stick the needle from he** into your belly (worse than amniocentesis!) and then into the baby's umbilical cord (specifically the vein) and inject packed red blood cells into the baby. If this is not done, the baby will die a horrible death, plain and simple, because the antibodies your body produces will kill every red blood cell in their bodies. If you are Rh+, or your husband is Rh-, then you do not need RhoGAM and the whole problem goes away. Mercury is a serious issue, don't get me wrong. I am in the process of getting my own amalgams out and will chelate myself after that. When I understand what is happening in my own body, I will then chelate my son. But mercury is not the only issue. You need to make balanced choices. Not eating fish during your pregnancy is a reasonable thing- that is a significant source of mercury. In fact, I'd avoid canned anything if I were you. Be sure you eat extra olive oil and take flax oil (or better yet, grind up flax seeds fresh!) to make up for the oils in the fish. That is very important for the baby. You might also want to avoid the foods that are thought to chelate, such as cilantro. Not getting amalgams out is also a reasonable thing. Do the best you can, make the best choices you can make, and then chelate the child as soon as it is safe to do so. Reschedule your own amalgams for after you wean. But do not destroy your joy in your pregnancy over worry about this one issue. I am praying for you to deliver a healthy and happy baby, and for you to have peace during this most important time in your life. G Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur. (Whatever is said in Latin sounds lofty.) [ ] pregnant - HELP!! I just found out that I am pregnant. Ironically, I have a dental appointment this Monday to consult about removing my 16 amalgam fillings. I will not follow through with the removal of the fillings while I am pregnant. My question is: Does anyone feel their child is autistic soley because of their amalgam fillings? I'm already a nervous wreck thinking about this. I will not give this future child vaccinations, will not breast-feed, will not eat any fish and will not receive the Rhogam injection. But I can't do anything right now about my fillings. I need peace of mind but also want your honest opinions. Anxious for some responses. svisintainer@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 21, 2001 Report Share Posted January 21, 2001 But even the DPT which reportedly does not contain mercury triggered my nephews autism. Consider reading " A Shot in the Dark " for info about reactions to the DPT. If you feel strongly about having your child vaccinated, ask for copies of BOTH HALVES of the insert. Generally they don't even give the patient half unless requested and most really freak out if you ask for the doctor's half because it lists potential serious side effects, contraindications, etc. Consider requesting individual vaccines rather than the combined ones and spread them out so the child doesn't get a funch all the same day. Also consider requesting that they run titers before giving boosters to see if the child already has immunity. Might also prove helpful to find some parents who have not had their childrean vaccinated to talk with them in person and ask about the overall health of their children...Often you can find such parents through a Waldorf school or perhaps by putting a note on the bulletin board at a health food store. Be clear with them that you seek this info in an effort to do what's best for your child and listen and ask questions with an open mind. Many have reported problems with the MMR in particular and suggest it messes up the digestive system. Some reports show in outbreaks more individuals who HAVE HAD THE VACCINATONS contract the disease than those unvaccinated. Unfortunately, I don't have that report or the name of it handy but I believe someone else on this list has referred to it. I have a niece born last April and a nephew born in August. She has gotten all her vaccines on schedule, he hasn't had (and won't receive) any. Guess who's healthier? Of course, his parents lead a significantly helathier lifestyle so I'm sure that contributes to the difference. Just my 2 cents... S -------------------------------------------------------------- I think it is also worse to NOT give your child vaccinations when you know you can request to have the mercury taken out of it! And even if you had the vaccinations done with or without mercury, you will not do your baby justice by withholding the pertinent Rubella, Measles, etc. shots which protects them from these deadly diseases...! Which is worse?? I am a true advocate to get the mercury out of the vaccines...but I am not an advocate to do away with the essential vaccinations. Just a thought!

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2001 Report Share Posted January 22, 2001 Now I'm confused or just misunderstand this. Everything I've read on this and other lists since I joined last week says that MMR is the culprit because it has mercury while the single jabs don't. Does this mean that MMR is NOT resposible but DPT is? Janet DPT is one of the worst for high mercury, it is the MMR which has never had mercury in it. rgds paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 22, 2001 Report Share Posted January 22, 2001 Here's how I understand it. The immunizations given before the MMR, such as the DPT, do cause the mercury toxicity. This depresses the immune system, and the pertussis toxin eats up the vitamin A stores in genetically predisposed kids ( Megson's research.) When the MMR comes along, the body is in a weakened condition, and the MMR goes in for the kill. It is known that if you get measles and mumps within a certain timeframe of each other, that it often leads to encephalitis. So, between the setup for encephalitis, and overloading a weakened body with 3 live viruses at once, it is too much. Single doses, given 6 months apart, starting at a later age, is probably much safer. I believe that I read in an article by Fudenberg that he was recommending at least 3 yo for the M, M and R individually. I would also, based on Megson's research, preload the child with (mercury free!) Cod Liver Oil to prepare them for the onslaught of particularly the measles virus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 23, 2001 Report Share Posted January 23, 2001 Hi, Congratulations! I'm in the position of needing Rhogam and had quite a few shots during both and after one pregnancy. I wish I had known about the mercury. There is one that is mercury free. If you need it (you are RH- and your husband is RH+)and your doctor can't or won't locate it, I'll help. I've always wondered about those sealants that help prevent cavities. Do they stick to metal fillings? Will they temporarily seal mercury in? Are there ones without estrogen-like plastic compounds? As a mom, I know this thing about the breast milk is likely to drive you crazy. Am I nourishing or poisoning my child? Does anyone know of a lab that has experience testing the various possible toxicities in breast milk? I read about labs doing this in scientific studies. Breast milk is vastly superior to formula. I'd look into rearranging dietary fats. I came across a study and passed it along to a couple who had two extremely premature infants, their third and fourth children. It recommendid omega 3 oils as way to improve the retinopathy of prematurity. The actual improvement was beyond their hopes and the scheduled surgeries were cancelled. The opthalmologist had not seen anything like it. I got rid of my son's absence seizures by dumping processed fats and oils and adding a lot of different types of structurally intact fats and oils. Dietary fats are passed on through breast milk and I don't know about fetal development. This seems to have a lot to do with the integrity of nerve tissue and may make a lot of difference.
