Re: Yeast with no history of antibiotics?

[Guest guest]

Mercury hides in the organs including the brain so blood tests are useless

unless there has been recent exposure. We did a urine test using DMSA and

mercury and other heavy metals poured out. We go to a DAN dr since I have

not found a reg. dr who will do this. Unless studies have been done most drs

dont beleive in it and we dont have time to wait for the studies!!!

My autistic son is 2 1/2. He has only had one ear infection in his

life and is rarely sick. He has been GFCF for over 2 months. Within

about a week of the diet, he went from no eye contact to practically

normal eye contact. His therapist said he seems to have come out of

the fog. This was before we had started any supplementation. I did

not think at first that he would have a yeast problem since he did

not have the ear infections and before going GFCF, he loved to eat

yogurt (live active cultures). I am again thinking that it still may

be a problem because he has a pot-belly, gets diaper rash easily and

has no solid stool. I have an appointment with his pediatrician next

month so I hope to have him tested.

Thanks .

What kind of testing did you do for mercury? Did you initiate it or your

Dr? This may be a possibility with my son, but his Dr. balked at the

suggestion. Also, blood testing is a major ordeal (for us both). He wanted

me to first determine if mercury was in any of his vaccinations, by calling

his old Dr. in Michigan where we lived the first 6 months of my sons' life.

I wonder if they will even give me an honest answer or just think " lawsuit "

and say they didn't use vaccines with mercury. Fortunately, Our current

pediatrician does not use vaccines with mercury.

Re: Yeast with no history of antibiotics?

My son has a very bad yeast problem and did not take antibiotics. My son

does

have mercury poisoning (from vaccinations), which causes yeast problems. We

are in the process of chelating.

I had my son's hair tested for toxic elements without my doctor's

knowledge then shared the results after the fact. Mercury is not the

only item that can be a problem though. My son had so much antimony

poisoning that it was off the charts (poisoned by his playpen

mattress). Of course, my pediatrician still wasn't concerned because

she has been trained only to look for lead poisoning but at least I

know. As for mercury, usually the tests don't show it unless the

exposure was recent. Our kids tend to be metal magnets. When these

tests are done, they usually show a number of toxic metals that has

poisoned our kids.

My dd has not been on antibiotics more than 2 or 3 times and she is almost

7yr but her yeast is out of control. Sometimes I think its just our kiddos

systems. Hope this helps.
