Re: Re: OCD supplements for non-mercury boy?

I have often wondered about mercury for my son, but all of his blood work has

tested negative for both mercury and lead. I talked with the pediatrician about

a hair test but he felt that exposure would have been so many years ago that it

would be long gone by now, especiallly in the light of not having any traces in

the blood.

 

My son, now 17, has had no fillings but I have a lot. In fact, while pregnant

with him, I had a filling done as well as a gum abscess which was treated in the

dentist office. As a child he had a direct exposure to a broken thermometer at

his grandparents house, which I didn't know about until 2 years later. He had

all vaccines until the last one which reacted so badly. He has severe autism;

originally diagnoses with autism(atypical) but continued to regress until the

diagnosis was modified. He has had OCD for many years, but he has had several

bouts of strep and a lifetime of ear infections, sinus infections and

antibiotics.

 

Does this sound like I need to seriously consider mercury, even though the tests

have come up negative several times? I would like to help him if I can.

 

Thanks for your insight.

I wouldn't rule out mercury without a hair test and counting rules. Does/did the

mother have any mercury amalgam dental fillings? Did she receive any vaccines?

Mercury passes the placenta. Do they live down-wind from a coal-fired power

plant? What about other toxic metals? Diet would be a good place to start, more

whole foods and less processed stuff (particularly less white flour, white

bread, white sugar, sodas).

I have a friend whose 10 yo boy has bad OCD. He was never vaccinated, has no

amalgams, and has no autism symptoms.

I've told her it may be a nutrient problem but am unsure what to recommend. They

are very strapped for cash & I know she wouldn't be into a lot of supplements,

but what would be the best (low-priced? multiple for him and maybe one or two

other important supplements.

They have been on the typical American diet, but that may improve soon as her

husband was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer and will be unemployed (he's

a self-employed laborer) for a while. The boy has been like this for a good

while, and it's only getting worse.

thanks,

A DAN recently told me that when mercury tests come up negative that could be a

sign that he is not properly excreting the metal.  In other words, we should

have a certain amount appear on a test to show that our body is working the way

it should in eliminating theses toxins.

I have often wondered about mercury for my son, but all of his blood work has

tested negative for both mercury and lead.

*Blood work is useless for chronic mercury and lead toxicity. They don't stay in

the blood long. The lead quickly moves into the brain and bones and the mercury

goes into various organs.

I talked with the pediatrician about a hair test but he felt that exposure would

have been so many years ago that it would be long gone by now, especiallly in

the light of not having any traces in the blood.

*Hence the counting rules for the DDI hair elements test. You can order one

without a doc through DLS (Direct Lab Services). If you mention this list

they'll give you a discount. If you post results here we can help interpret.

Mercury causes disordered mineral transport which is what the counting rules

looks for.

My son, now 17, has had no fillings but I have a lot. In fact, while pregnant

with him, I had a filling done as well as a gum abscess which was treated in the

dentist office. As a child he had a direct exposure to a broken thermometer at

his grandparents house, which I didn't know about until 2 years later. He had

all vaccines until the last one which reacted so badly. He has severe autism;

originally diagnoses with autism(atypical) but continued to regress until the

diagnosis was modified. He has had OCD for many years, but he has had several

bouts of strep and a lifetime of ear infections, sinus infections and

antibiotics.

Does this sound like I need to seriously consider mercury, even though the tests

have come up negative several times? I would like to help him if I can.

*Seriously consider a DDI hair elements test. It will help you determine what

you're dealing with whether mercury or other toxic metals.

Thanks for your insight.
