Guest guest Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Bonita - My husband and I have been reading up on this (I'm no doctor but this is our interpretation of what we have read) and it seems that there is mercury and lead all around us in the soil in certain plastics, in paint, etc . Most people produce enough glutathione in their bodies to help remove it from their systems but many of our children don't make enough so the mercury stays in their systems and causes damage. There are also several foods that contain MSG or high glutamic acid (peas, tomatoes, canned goods, etc) that prevent your body from creating the necessary glutathione. Our DAN! doctor always puts glutathione in the EDTA IVs for Marcus so that's what lead us to try and find more info. According to what we've read Taurine is very important for the body to create glutathione (many of our kids are deficient in this) so we are starting our son on it. I'll let you know if it helps. Here's a link that might prove useful. I found it quite interesting. http://www.msgtruth.org/autism.htm mom of Katarina 8 DS-Autism, SCD 5 weeks, Marcus 4 Autism, GFCF and 95% SCD, Kylie 2 Typical > > Mimi, > > Forgive me for sounding so stupid but what causes the mercury build- up and what can we do to prevent it from happening again?
