Maybe a strange question? and others...

October 7, 2001

My son still has not been formally diagnosed, but we've moved and

have been having much more luck in the medical community all around

so I am hoping to get some answers soon.

But I have this question that keeps nagging at me and I hope someone

might have some info as I haven't been able to find much about it

online.

Mercury- if this rise in cases on the autistic spectrum has been even

informally linked to vaccines, specifically to the mercury in them,

how about detoxification? I read somewhere (forget where now though)

that it can be done, but it's a lengthy procedure... but I can't find

how to do it, or who would do it. Or if it is even something that

would work. It seems kind of logical, if the spectrum disorder is a

direct or indirect result of the mercury that was put into their

bodies from the vaccines, how about taking it out and letting their

bodies heal?

I read so much about all these medicines and suppliments and vitamins

that are being suggested/ perscribed, but they haven't been for

Dylan. He has been dx'd with a severe expressive speech delay (16

month delay), a moderate to severe gross motor delay (9 month delay),

mild comprehension delay (3-4 month delay), sensory issues, and fine

motor is almost right on (1 month delay which can be attributed to

his premature birth). He also has severe food allergies, and since

removal of newly tested allergens has a vocabulary of approx 10

words. Most only I can understand.

And other unrelated ?s would be in the speech department- as he has

picked up some vocabulary he has been identifying animals by their

sounds. (Ex: instead of saying cow he calls it a 'moo'.) He does this

for cow, pig and just today did sheep and chick. Also the words he is

saying, like " more " is mo, all of them leave off the last half of the

word. He's had them now with some off and on regression due to the

move for almost a month now, without further development of the word.

Is this a normal form of development? He is still not yet in any

therapy.

Thanks for all your help.
