Guest guest Posted November 27, 2001 Report Share Posted November 27, 2001 The kids just got new mattresses & we're expecting in March so we'll be getting a new crib mattress too; I'll check out that site - thanks again. Michele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 27, 2001 Report Share Posted November 27, 2001 What Dr. told me is from the hair analysis tests he has seen, usually those that were in the Graco Pack & Play had very high antimony and moderately high ansenic. Those in crib mattresses tend to be higher in arsenic but moderately high in antimony. Though Graco comes up again and again it is really a concern with all playpens. According to him beds & playpens is the main concern over the pjs because mildew causes a chemical reaction so it becomes a gas. Pjs and bedding are washed before mildew can form. If you do anything, make sure to cover the beds. If you chose not to replace the bedding and pjs, just make sure you wash them often. Of course it is always best to do the safest thing you can afford to do. I have also heard that antimony & arsenic can come from cigarette smoke but my husband and I have always avoided cigarette smoke. Before they banned smoking in restaurants here in CA, we never went to a restaurant that did not have a separate smoking section that had a closed door to the rest of the restaurant. Obviously my son did not get it from smoke. If you haven't checked it out yet, go to www.criblife2000.com. > So where does one get antimony & arsenic poisoning?

Gramps is classic Asperger's while dad has shadows of it. My son is just like them. I'm thinking in our case it's a genetic thing. Who knows, maybe they are all poisoned by heavy metals. I'm still trying to figure all of this out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 27, 2001 Report Share Posted November 27, 2001 I believe most autistic kids have heavy metal issues (the exception being those with Fragile X). The question is which metals? My theory is because each of our kids have a different mix of metal poisoning; each of our kids have a different set of symptoms and quirks. I think genetics comes into play when it comes to the inability of the body to rid of these metals naturally. Some kids are born sensitive and some are so poisoned that good genes cannot help them. My family and my husband's family has no history of neurological disorders. I believe my son was poisoned by his playpen but I believe it made him incapable of eliminating any other metals he might have gotten from his vaccines, drinking water, aluminum cookware etc. I believe if he was never in that playpen, he would have been able to fight off any poisoning that came his way. > >I'm sure the source of 's autism was all > > the vaccines & the MMR shot was the final kicker for him. > > > > I'm sure my son is just like his grampa and father.
