toxicity site by parent of muchly recovered child

[Guest guest]

from Ron:

asd@...

I've been away from the discussion groups for 6 months -- and missing the great

exchange of information. Always something valuable to learn in the quest to help

our

kids, families, and friends.

I promised to let you know when I posted my site concerning toxic body burden

and how

it is involved with ASDs and other illnesses.

As a quick recap, I'm simply the father of who is now 7 and considerably

recovered.

Before starting treatments guided by DAN! he had 3 separate ASD diagnoses before

age 3

-- Asperger's, PDD-NOS, and Autism.

Most people who meet today have no inkling he's anywhere " on the

spectrum " .

Those of us closest to him understand the challenges still to overcome. For one,

chemical

sensitivities are a tough sea to navigate.

The web site came about for several reasons. In particular I needed a more

efficient way to

communicate basic ideas to a growing number of people. There wasn't another site

I could

reference that explained excitotoxins and vaccine ingredients in the context of

toxic

burden and the onset of illnesses (including ASDs).

Also, during the course of treating we would stumble over gaps in

knowledge or

sometimes things just wouldn't make sense. So I would dig in and investigate.

The web

site helps round up some of the information people have indicated is useful.

The site is not like Generation Rescue (I'm humbled in its shadow) and it is not

a blog. It is

a collection of facts and observations supported by research. I have included

relevant links

to PubMed, Toxnet, and other investigative authors. Some of the info may already

be

familiar. I am confident some things will be new.

Endocrine disruptors have been discussed in several threads. I have tried to

summarize a

few, for instance

Bisphenol-A

PBDEs

<http://www.sailhome.org/Concerns/BodyBurden/Burdens/PBDE.html>

I've also attempted to explain hormesis and synergistic toxicity

<http://www.sailhome.org/Concerns/BodyBurden/Hormesis.html>

<http://www.sailhome.org/Concerns/BodyBurden/Synergistic.html>

People who have been in the group for a long time might simply jump to the Site

Map and

see if anything of interest is covered.

Feel free to pass along this site to anyone you think can benefit. Comments are

welcome

through the Contact page.

Big thanks to Binstock for all the great posts and excellent leads. I

wish I could

explore them all.

And ---- I surely haven't said it enough: thank you everyone who has helped my

child in

recovery. He is one swell kid :-)
