Someone in my family (who is not autistic) was recently diagnosed with this and had this symptom. You might want to discuss it with your son's doctor. It can be serious if left untreated.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2001 Report Share Posted February 19, 2001 Hi One of the side effects from mercury is a fast heartbeat. I was on a printed list I recieved from my DAN Doctor who is doing chelation for kids that have been exposed to vaccines containing thermosol . My son has a fast heart beat too and many of the symptoms associated with mercury toxicity. kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 19, 2001 Report Share Posted February 19, 2001 Were there other things on the printed list that are symptoms associated with mercury toxicity. I'm sure a lot of us could benefit from seeing that list. > Hi > One of the side effects from mercury is a fast heartbeat.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2001 Report Share Posted February 19, 2001 My DD has an innocent heart murmur meaning that it sounds like a heart murmur but isn't dangerous. My dad, brothers, sister, etc also have this. It runs in my dad's family so to say that my dd has it because she is autistic or that something else is wrong relating or causing autism doesn't hold true. Everyone else is NT.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2001 Report Share Posted February 19, 2001 I think I remember reading that a faster than normal heartbeat can indicate a problem with mercury. It's one of the symptoms I remember reading about and wanting to have checked with my son. I had the pediatrician and his DAN doctor listen to his heart and they found nothing to be concerned about. Hope this helps. ( & Malachi's mom) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 19, 2001 Report Share Posted February 19, 2001 Heart murmer is also assoicated with low muscle tone, which many of our kids have.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2001 Report Share Posted February 19, 2001 My son, too, was diagnosed with " tachycardia " 3 1/2 years ago on our only visit to a DAN doctor. Recently, I read in Andy Cutler's book, that this is a symptom of mercury poisoning. Lorilyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElaineF >> has a heart murmur and he is my ADHD child. I don't think that either, but I do wonder if it is one of those things that ties in with it (in the family). With me and my boys there are so many things that seem to tie in with this. has Autism, detached retinas, the valve in his heart didn't close off when he was born and had to have surgery, had trachea damage and had a trach tube for about 2 years (also had a feeding tube), and was born without a hip socket and had surgery (will have second surgery on it this summer). is ADHD (and possibly Tourette's Syndrome), has Strabismus (cross-eyes), and a heart murmur. I didn't have enough red blood cells to fight off infection when I was born, I have/had Crohn's disease, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Cancer of the thyroid, Storage Pool Disorder (a very rare blood disorder), Migraines, and OCD. WHEW I don't think I missed anything LOL!
