Guest guest Posted February 28, 2001 Report Share Posted February 28, 2001 Carol, Phenyl-pyruvic acid has a musty, mousey smell, I have noticed it on our children also, it is what lead the Dr to investigate the mental retardation two siblings and he later identified it as PKU, nowdays children are screened for it at birth but I rather suspect that it is present owing to metabolic deficiencies induced by another agent let's say Mercury for example. I'm no expert these are just my thoughts, by the way, the other child that I can smell it on is not autistic but does have a kidney problem, it is some time now since I've noticed this though. Don't panic I expect there are other explanations. Jon . [ ] musty hair smell > I noticed this just this week in both of my kids. Right at the front of > Hunter's head at his forehead.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2001 Report Share Posted March 1, 2001 Hi, My son also has a musty smelling head, the only way I can decribe it is like a stinky wash rag that has sat on the sink over night. It has gotten worse since chelation. I find this interesting , I have a older son that was also damaged when he was young by immunizations. He also had that same odor. I hope it does get better as he is detoxes, I guess that will be a good indication to me that my sons detox is working.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2001 Report Share Posted March 1, 2001 My son didn't have a musty hair smell, but four years ago when he was on dairy, he would have bad head sweats when he slept. During a few nights he had a strong ammonia smell to the sweat on his head. Hair had been washed earlier that evening, he wasn't in diapers, never wet the bed, but ammonia in the sweat on his head. Every time I told the doctors about it, I would get that look...

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2001 Report Share Posted March 1, 2001 My autistic son doesn't have that smell, but I've noticed it on my NT 4 year old for a while now. Every morning his hair smells musty even though his hair was washed the night before and sheets/pillows and mattress are not musty or smelly. I've been wondering what it could be from too.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2001 Report Share Posted March 1, 2001 Prior to chelation, my daughters hair was extrememly musty smelling - really gagging bad.(see prior posts). As we continue to chelate, and she continues to make gains, the smell is much less noticeable. > > Carol, > > > > Phenyl-pyruvic acid has a musty, mousey smell, I have noticed it on > our > > children also, it is what lead the Dr to investigate the mental > retardation > > two siblings and he later identified it as PKU, nowdays children are > > screened for it at birth but I rather suspect that it is present > owing to > > metabolic deficiencies induced by another agent let's say Mercury > for > > example.
