Guest guest Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Migrains: test for delayed food allergies, test thyroid. My migraines are greatly helped by a chiropractor but aggravated by low thyroid. They can very much be food related in most people though. dyslexia is very connected...as in mercury poisoning. Hair tests for both kids. Especially if they are vaccinated kids. Did they by chance get flu shots this fall?

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Mercury and Fluoride were the biggest contributors, imo, to my daughters Migraine issues. elizabeth > > Hi everyone, > > I am just starting to find out about some health issues going on with my niece and nephew.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 No it isn't OT.I have an autism diagnosis,and I have had cerebrovascular problems since I was in my teens.I only recently learned why. I would ask you if this is migraines,or " stroke like episodes " .There are two possible conditions that the mother and daughter should both be tested for MELAS Syndrome http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/946864-overview or the MTHFR C677T and A1298C mutations of homocystine metabolism,like I have.Both conditions are associated with autism. > > Hi everyone, > > I am just starting to find out about some health issues going on with my niece and nephew.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I thought Jill , et al abandoned the theory of C677T/A1298C being more prevalent in the Autism population after further research. This was maybe 4 years ago? > > > > Hi everyone, > > > > I am just starting to find out about some health issues going on with my niece and nephew.
