rhogam shot

July 5, 2002

Does anyone know about the rhogam shot that pregnant women have to take if

they have negitive blood? Just wondered if anyone knew anything about it.

I had to take it during my first pregnancy and will have to take it here in

about a month. I am due in Sept. I think that is the name of the shot.

I would recommend BayRho as indicated here previously. I have links

to the ingredients and other information on BayRho on my site page

I did in 1992. Daughter is on the spectrum.

No, I didn't have the shot, but I have sure read often about an increase in

children who got autism when the shot was given. I recommend web-browsing to

learn more about it. Mercury is bad no matter where it comes from.

children were vaccinated? This would add to the problem))

((Some here use zeolite but it is not a " metal chelator " as they

proclaim it to be. It may show some improvments based upon the fact

that its volcanic ash..aka charcoal and absorbs some gut pathogens,

providing some improvements. But its the consensus here that you if

you really want to treat them for heavy metal, you have to use a

chelator. Either dmsa or ala or both. Both are available without a

prescription. It's not to say you shouldn't try zeolite, just that

it's expensive and won't recover them from metals. Omegas are good.

Cod liver oil (nordic naturals) would be good also. There are many

supplements listed in the files that will help your children and

would be part of chelation. I have been treating my son for a

year..on my own. And we are doing great!! Your in the right place to

help them. Read, read, and ask questions))

From my understanding, they last (allegedly) manufactured the Rhogam

shot containing thimerosol in April, 2002. I got my shot in July,

but due to lengthy expiration dates, etc. it would be more likely

than not that mine contained the ingredient (I do not believe they

did a recall of existing lots, they only supposedly ceased adding

thimerosol as an ingredient in 4/02.) I have the card they gave me

w/ the lot number information on the card and everything, but so far

I've been unable to locate any information or find guidance on how

to determine specifically when the lot from which the shot I was

given was produced. Its very frustrating.

Thanks for the info. The whole chelation idea is new to me (from

the standpoint of removing heavy metals) and I definitely want to

try it (I just was scared to since I don't have any physician

guidance....i.e., I didn't want to cause any more problems.) I am

unfamiliar at this point w/ dmsa and ala, but will do some

research. Any recommendations as to a preferred place to buy these

chelators from? I'd rather use a source I know others have found to

be trustworthy and beneficial.

Thanks, again!

I had the shot 5 times within a 4 year period. I had it with two

miscarriages I had within 6 mths of each other. Then I got PG with NT

child #1 and had 1 at 16 weeks and again after she was born as she is

Rh+, and then again when I got PG with ASD child #2. PLUS I was talked

into having a flu shot with both pg's at my OB's recomendation.

Poor baby #2 never had a chance at NOT being toxic.

As for chelation, we have been doing the magnetic clay baths, an all

natural method of chelation. You can find them at

http://clayforautism.com/ and we also use the Bio-Chelate in

conjunction with that.

In the past 6 months or so, there was a super rhogam post on EOHarm

group. The danger is *not* only in the mercury. Having the

rhogam injection (even mercury-free) *during pregnancy* is hazardous

to the baby. You can search EOHarm archives for this info.

Wow, I never knew they'd give someone the shot that many times!!

When they wanted to give it to me, I asked if it was absolutely

necessary and was told yes, that my babies (twins) could die if I

didn't take the shot. So of course, they being the medical

professionals and me being a first-time parent, I said okay. Years

later I was told that they could have given me the shot AFTER

pregnancy (because the current pregnancy isn't affected by the RH

difference, only subsequent pregnancies) and then I'd have been fine.

Have you noticed any positive changes since doing the clay baths and

biochelate? I wasn't sure if the clay baths would really help,

since my suspicion is that the mercury in my son is in the brain.

However, it seems from what I have read that the biochelate is

supposed to work on metals bound to the brain (though I'm not clear

yet if that specifically applies to mercury.)

I remember doing extensive research on Rhogam with #2 who is

coincidentally NT. I had numerous RH shots and put up a big stink

abou them, until like someone else, I got the batch # that said they

were thimerisol free. I was in a car accident my 9th month and had 2

then, plus one at 27 weeks, plus another right before my c-section,

and one after delivery and one for the baby because we were not a

match. This was 2004..could the expiration date extend that far?

For a while there was one brand that was thimerosal-free and others which still

had mercury in them. During that time one had to specifically request the

thimerosal-free version.

See, now this is interesting to me because there was just something

out on Unlocking Autism from earlier this year about Rhogam shots and

how mercury was allegedly taken out of them after 2000. Very curious.

I thought that they took mercury out of rhogam sometime in the recent

years. What year was this? Anyone know? Kristy

From research I did last year, I found that the makers of Rhogam

stopped using mercury as a preservative beginning in April, 2002

(though I do not believe they did a recall of lots containing

mercury, so who knows for how long the shot was administered w/

mercury thereafter....likely until the lots containing it were used

up.)

Mine was in 2001 - Son on spectrum. Should note that He seemed to be

'born' on spectrum. Did not have the regression around 18-24 months

that many speak of.
