Guest guest Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 I have to chime in on the topic of dialated pupils, because we have had a weird experience with this issue. No one takes this experience seriously, but as his mother who looks into his eyes everyday, I notice a change. My son always had very large pupils. This seems to be related to if he was actually focusing on something or not. Was he staring or actually looking. In spite of this, he has always been a very high functioning child. We have done diet, supplements, ABA, Methyl B12 injections etc..... Now at age 5, he is caught up (even ahead) in many developmental areas. He lags behind in motor skills and has sensory issues. I know he was mercury damaged, but we have never chelated. ly, I have been to afraid of the regression that usually takes place. He has done so well, I just can't imagine watching him go backwards. Anyway, the weird part about dialated pupils .... In January right after he turned Five, we went to a Hyperbarics Center in another state, and did 20 " dives " in 2 weeks. Now I don't think that was the best way to do it, because he seemed to actually be less focused in general, got a little yeasty, and diarhea. (I did teach him to play chess while we were in the chamber.) Anyway, after we had been home for a week or so. I noticed that his pupils seem to be more normal size, and reacted to changes in light more normally. He still has sensory issues -- maybe more than before. His motor skills have not really improved. I believe we are still dealing with metals. He is continuing to learn very well, and is starting to read a little. I just don't know what to think about this experience. Any ideas? Amy > > Hi Eileen! > > Dilated pupils are a symptom of mercury poisoning (as are long eyelashes . . no joke). I am not certain about pupils of two different sizes in individuals (although this does sound like a symptom of something). But I am talking about very large pupils. If you turn the lights off with just a sliver of light, then turn the lights on .. . . do the pupils contract at a quick pace? Or do they contract rather slowly if at all? If they don't contract very well, it is a symptom of mercury. > > My son had rather large pupils most of the time (and he is known for his gorgeous long eyelashes) and we always thought that his eyes were a dark brown. He is in the beginning stages of losing a little bit of his metals, and his pupils are a lot smaller. As a result we realize that his eyes aren't really dark brown, they are actually kind of green. If you have ever heard parents who are chelating say that their child's eye color changed to blue or whatnot when they chelated, it is probably because they are seeing more of the child's iris rather than the pupil and the dark ring around it. > > Side note: This is what the eye doctor uses in his drops to keep your eyes dilated for his exams (mercury in the drops). > > FYI, > Jeni Lynn (gastrointestinal problems) > SCD 2 months > mom to Margeaux, 6 yr.

And what do you mean by dilated - two different size pupils or just very large pupils? Thank you, Eileen Brown > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Dear everyone: Thank you for your replies. I personally have always had very large pupils and very long eyelashes! I just wanted clarification about exactly what you were meaning. My 7 year old also has large pupils. I will look into this. Since her ADHD was seemingly under control on SCD, I have not had her tested for metal poisoning. My UC is doing well too so I have not been tested. I have a mouth full of fillings from when I had braces, my teeth did not do too well with the braces, I got lots of cavities. Thank again for all of your input.
