Hi,

I'm new to this list, but have been on the Autism-Mercury list for a

few months. I've just recently heard some mention of adrenal and

thyroid issues and their relation to mercury toxicity and would love

more information. My husband's DDI hair analysis meets the counting

rules for mercury toxicity, and I was wondering how you can determine

if adrenal and thyroid issues are a problem as well? We are planning

to start chelating him very soon.

Thank you for any input,

Sheri

Although the hair test is helpful, I'd do a saliva test for adrenals and a blood

draw for thyroid.

ZRT and Diagnos-Techs are common labs to use.

Thank you Dave. I have emailed his hair test to website below and

will let you know when/if it is posted.

I have to share the shock I just received. When emailing the hair

test to the website, I asked my husband about his vaccinations so

that I could relay that information as well. I was expecting him to

say that he had a tetanus shot in high school (over 15 years ago) or

something but his response shocked me! He said he was required to

have a lot of vaccinations in 1995 for his University course (he is a

pharmacist, as am I). According to him, he got " tons " !! I went to a

different University than him, and we were just required to show our

immunization records and have titers drawn if necessary prior to

going into hospitals, nursing homes, etc. I can't believe his

college had their students re-vaccinate themselves!!

When we had DDI hair tests done a few months ago on the entire family,

I was surprised at the time to see that my husband was the one who

came up mercury toxic (using the counting rules). We couldn't figure

out how, but he did have a couple small amalgam fillings so we

quickly had those removed and began preparing to chelate. I was kind

of thinking his hair results must have met the counting rules by

mistake, because I couldn't figure out how he would be mercury toxic.

So today when I asked him when was the last time he had a

vaccination, his response was " Grade 4 or 5 I think. Plus all the

shots in first year of pharmacy " . My response - What??!! It hadn't

dawned on him either until now. I'm just so angry!

Another very sad thing - over the last few months since we discovered

our son had Asperger's we've been contacted by 2 of his female

pharmacy classmates who have sons on the spectrum as well. Were they

made to re-vaccinate themselves as well and have now passed a burden

of mercury on to their children??

A very angry,

Sheri
