Mercury/MMR/etc/was Re: Was your child born with autism after you received

February 17, 2001

Hi Margaret,

Mercury is/was in the DPT (got to read the insert), but not the MMR,

altho it has heaps of strange things in it, too. The MMR problem

seems to be with 1) prior damage from other vax lays the ground work

for bigger problems with the MMR and 2) the combination of viruses in

the MMR.

Hair testing is somewhat in dispute, as is interpretation of the

results. Pop over to autism-mercury and read the files regarding

the " counting rules " for interpreting the test results. Another way

to test for mercury is a chelation challenge - the person takes DMSA

for several days, then a urinalysis is done to see what metals are

being pulled out. Mercury seems to be more difficult to chelate, so

often the initial results are in the " normal " range, while other

metals, such as lead, show up in high amounts.

IMHO it is worth tracking down a DAN doctor or a doctor trained in

occupational & environmental medicine or toxicology.
