Apr. 15, 2007 - Hope for Those with Autism & ADD - A Vacine Story
Hi, I thought I might share some encouraging words for those with autistic children. Perhaps, my story might help you or someone you know. My oldest daughter started showing signs of autism at the age of six. Here is a story of our experience.
My daughter Hannah is my first child. She was developmentally ahead in every thing. She had a list of 20 vocabulary words at the age of five months (no joke). People would elbow me with a shock and awe that she could speak at that age. If I told anyone how advanced she was they would accuse me that I was exaggerating. That was until they heard her speak for themselves. She was reading at the age of three (very short easy words). She went to the public elementary school at the age of three because she was a bit clumsy or gross motor delayed. She said, on the way home from school, "Mom will you homeschool me because I learn more at home with you than I do at that school". I would have wrecked the car if I had been anywhere but driving through my subdivision because I slammed on my break in disbelief that any three year old would be able to say that. Okay, so you understand that she was well advanced by her age. However, this all drastically changed.
At the age of six years old, suddenly as if someone turned off a switch of lights, Hannah could no longer speak intelligeable. She could no longer easily complete school work. She started struggling in all her studies, falling backwards. She started losing her hair. What was once so easy for her became very difficult. She could no longer write her beautiful passages in her journal. Her writing became a string of mixed up letters. You could see a very rapid spiral downward (I still have all her journals to show this). She could no longer do math so easily. She cried at the frustration. I could no longer understand her words. She would speak worse than my two year old. It was so sad. It was as if she was drifting off into another world. I frantically took her to the doctors with no help. They pointed me to the education dept. As a past elementary teacher, I knew that all they could do was treat the symptoms. I cried out to God.
As if God had placed me in the write place at the right time, I heard a radio broadcast regarding mercury poisoning in children. That struck me like lightening in my spirit. I had Hannah's hair tested. She had alarming toxic levels of mercury in her system. I ordered a product that gets the mercury out by means of the urine (safer than the stool route), the information that I got from the radio. As if someone turned on the switch as quickly as they had turned it off, she immediately started speaking correctly and doing better on her school work. I was shocked at the difference. It was as different as night and day. In reflecting, Hannah had had all her shots with all the mercury additives. I shared this information with my brother in law (who has a Doctorate degree in autisms or special need and whom teaches college courses in New York) and sister in law (Masters in autism and special needs children who works in the school system). They both said that Hannah was about six weeks away from full blown autism. They said that the pharmacutical companies only used mercury because it was the cheapest preservative. For a few pennies more they could have used a different preservative. Greed was the motivator. They were both familiar with all the symptoms and problems that I had alarmed me. I was shocked to learn all of this.
The doctors say that mercury is no longer present in today's shots. However, that is wrong. The MMR shot still has mercury. My speech therapist, for my son, said that her son developed autistic signs immediately after the shots. My girlfriend's friend, a nurse, said the same thing (including a diary of what happened). There is a group of doctors whose children became autistic after the shots who now speak out. Missouri no longer forces their parents to give the MMR shots because of the huge number of autisms experienced after the shot. In fact, there is a fund sitting in Washington for those who develop autism as a result of the shots. That surprised me to find that out. So, mercury can cause autism. Perhaps, not all autism is caused by mercury. But, there is obviously some connection in my experience.
In saying all of this, the product that changed my daughter's health, is Heavy Metal Nano-Detox and Quantum Brain Complex. These together need to be given, the younger the age, the better results (the body metabolizes faster). The phone number for ordering is 800-370-3447. I have heard that it takes years to get the mercury out of a child's body. I read in the Chicago Times that you have to be careful not to extract it too quickly because it is very toxic to the liver. The article also said the sooner you get it out of the body, when the child is young, the better the outcome. I started administering this product to Hannah when she was eight. I was very cautious, too cautious. I only gave her one dose a day. However, the outcome was astonishing. This year, at the age of ten, I doubled the dose. One dose in the morning and one dose in the early afternoon. That really drastically helped more. She is almost back to her old self (academically and health (her hair has grown back..eczema clears up...immune system stronger..)). I will get another hair analysis later this year to see how much mercury is in her system compared to when she started on this product. I expect the results will be impressive. Hannah still experiences some problems. When we ran out of the product, and she was off for a week, she started to again have really bad speech, the old problems started revisiting. So, this product has really helped Hannah. I hope in sharing this I can give some of you hope. I know how scary of an experience I had with my daughter almost becoming autistic. It was a slippery fast down hill spiral that no parent should ever have to experience.
I do not wish to step on any toes with anyone who might have a different experience with autism. I do not mean to say that all autistic children have mercury poisoning. However, it wouldn't hurt to have any child checked for this to rule it out. I would only like to pass on my story to help someone else. The purpose of this blog entry is not to dispute, but to bring hope and help to someone else who might benefit from my experience. My second daughter developed ADD after the shots. She is almost completely well after treatment. Two experiences like this was enough for me. I immediately stopped all vaccinations for the rest of my children. My other four children are incredibly healthy and well. I don't think I will play Russian Roulet with any of their health. My experiences and the experiences of those close to me is enough for me. I don't want anyone else to go through this.
Besides my story, here are many, many more stories about the damage of vaccines. My pediatrician freely admits knowing this but says that it is best for the majority so the minority pay the price. How sad. Try this link:
http://www.vaccinetruth.org/compensation.htm
******************************************************************************************************************
Just a note: It was my pediatrician who informed me that it was the MMR shot that still has the mercury in it. Here is another source that seems to agree with my pediatrician,
" The MMR was said not to contain thimerosal but we found out that Merck DOES use thimerosal in the processing of the MMR, they just do not add it to the vaccine as an ingredient."
http://www.geocities.com/arnfl/vaccine.html
I haven't read this book about vaccines, but I think it is wise not to just get anyone who has monetary interest's interest view on this, such as doctors or those who benefit from the drug companies. Parents need to research this for themselves, and take heed from those of us who have experienced autism.The title of the book, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Children's Vaccinations.
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0446677078/qid=1109612563/sr=2-3/ref=
One more link. Here is a website for doctors against vacines. Isn't it interesting that those who can testify that there is a link between the shots and huge health problems are treated as if our experiences don't matter? Those who oppose the information do so with their opinion as being more weighty than those who have had the experiences. How arrogant for some to dismiss my experience, my speech therapists experience, my girlfriend's friend, and many others. Here is a doctors against shots link: http://www.vaccinetruth.org/doctors_against_vaccines.htm

My kids are not vaccinated. I'm not convinced that I shouldn't yet, but I am not convinced that I should either. I should likely be more decisive.

Posted by momofsix
It was my children's pediatrician that told me the MMR shot still has mercury. I also heard it reported on the radio that the reason MO stopped pushing the MMR shot was because of the mercury link and autism. Regardless, I think parents need to carefully read up on all of this so they don't cry over their beautiful babe becoming autistic after the shot. It is a heart wrenching cry. It was for me. For those who already experience autism, try this product. It gave my daughter incredible results.
Apr. 17, 2007 - MMR vaccine and mercury
Posted by spearce
It looks like you could be right. I looked on the Internet and found these two web pages that say what you were saying:
http://www.mothering.com/discussions/archive/index.php/t-388042.html [This includes info given by someone named "Jen123" with an explanation from Stephanie Cave's book about how the two, mercury and MMR, work together to cause autism. At the bottom of the web page is info about mercury used in the manufacturing of MMR.]
The following web page at http://www.vaclib.org/intro/qandaone.htm has more info. Look at the middle of the web page, in the section called "Q6. Is there thimerosal in modern vaccines?" Here is part of it. It is written by Liz Birt, to Sandy (Gottstein) Mintz:
Sandy: I have been working with Boyd Haley since September 2000 who testified at the recent Congressional hearing. Your source is incorrect. I have Boyd's testing results and there is mercury in MMR. He did not find as much s what was in Hib, Hep B and DTaP. However, IT IS THERE. Whether this is problematic since it may be acting to kill the live virus which makes the vaccine more dangerous is open for debate. Also, my son got MMR and Hib at the same time so he did get mercury from the Hib and MMR combined. Nonetheless, the mercury in the MMR may be acting to depress the immune system and to boost the immune system to an unacceptable level in some children so they actually get the measles like my son. If you want any additional information let me know.
It is in there believe me. We sent samples to Boyd Haley's laboratory and he detected it. It is not disclosed because it is used in the"manufacturing process" and is not used as a "preservative".

Thanks for causing me to learn something I didn't know before.

thanks for the post. I have chosen not to vaccinate my children. Sometimes, I start to worry or feel guilty. It is good to know there are others out there and that I do have a good reason to reject the medical protocall!
Apr. 19, 2007 - I agree....
Posted by lovemy4babies
I do not vaccinate my kids now after having an adverse reaction with my oldest daughter. My son (thankfully) did not have any problems with his vaccines... but the second born... wow. She screamed and cried after her shots, but the Dr. said it was fine... typical and normal. Well, as she got older we started noticing things. Her drastic mood swings were typical of kids on the Autism spectrum and she had other emotional issues as well as intestinal problems and allergies she had never had before. We took her to a more natural type doctor who ran stool samples and urine samples and she had incredibly high levels of mercury, aluminum, lead and tin. We still are not sure where the lead and tin came from, but he said that mercury and aluminum were VERY common preservatives in vaccines and other injected substances (antibiotics, etc). We had to go through a LONG series of treatments - - the chelation like you mentioned as well as a strict diet limiting grains, sugars and other items. It was a LONG haul but she is 95% back to her wonderful self now after 5 years. (at one point she nearly shaved her head in the middle of the night.... they warned me that the first few days of her new chelation therapy might cause a surge in behavioral problems... yikes!)
Anyway... blessings to you and your children.
Apr. 20, 2007 - The diet...
Posted by lovemy4babies
Hi there! Glad to be an encouragement.
As for the diet my daughter was on... its HARD and I mean WAY hard to follow, but we do think it helped. Basically it says that kids who have metal poisioning have a lower immune response than other kids who are able to handle the vaccines without effects. Since their immune systems are compromised... they suggest using the "autism" diet - gluten-free; casien-free; sugar-free. Basically, lots of fruit, veggies and meat that has no stuff added. Some people have to avoid eggs also... but we didnt. Try http://www.gfcfdiet.com/ for info on the actual diet, and http://www.autismweb.com/diet.htm also has good information. I hope you find the right solution for your child. The diet was hard, but do-able for our family - we just ALL went on the diet so that it wasn't just Allie's special food. The whole family will feel better! The first 2 weeks are the hardest as well as any special occasions the kids are invited to attend.
If you need more help, don't hesitate to ask!
Blessings!

Apr. 20, 2007 - What an incredible story you have.
Posted by REInvestor
WOW!!! I read alot about vaccines back when my oldest dd was a year old or so. The outcome of all my reading was the decision to vaccinate but to do so slowly, so I am not anywhere near on schedule for my youngest two children. My oldest got the most vaccines of anyone, regretably.
But your story is really dramatic. Thanks for sharing. I will ponder this so more.
And thanks for stopping by my blog. I haven't had as much time in the past months to read others blogs so haven't been by as much. Good to catch up.

Apr. 21, 2007 - vaccines are evil!
Posted by naturalbirth
That's what my husband says. :-)
I'm sorry you've been through so much as a result of them.
I did TONS of research on them while in nursing school and actually convinced one of my professors there was more trouble to them than most people knew - that was not easy!
Almost all vaccines have mercury in them, if not all. The ones that are available without mercury, you have to specifically ask your doctor you want a thimersol-free version. If you don't, you will get it with mercury. (unless, on the rare occasion, the doctor has made the personal choice not to use them).
Also, just fyi, most insurance companies will not cover them anymore...hmmm, I wonder why?
And the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) is for all kinds of reactions, not just mercury. There are LOTS of known reactions to vaccines. I hope you look into filing with them, maybe you could atleast get your medical expenses that have resulted from your childrens' reactions covered.
Blessings,
Lindsay
PS did you know many vaccines are cultured on aborted fetal tissue? - a whole other trouble with them...

May. 5, 2007 - Mercury in MMR
Posted by spearce
On April 26, 2007, I got an e-mail from a woman named Chris, who said:
Hi Susan,
Asked someone to contact Dr Haley about the MMR vaccine and mercury. This was his reply:
Nancy: I have never said that MMR contains any thimerosal. What may have lead to the comments you refer to is that thimerosal would release its ethylmercury component which could (would) bind to the protein antigens in vaccines and not be removed by filtration. However, this would only happen if thimerosal was used in the vaccine manufacturing process. Boyd
He didn't specifically say that MMR is manufactured without Thimerosal, but that appears to be implied. You can pass along that quote.
Has anyone asked Merck?
Chris/MN
The above was sent by Chris, a woman from MN.

Posted by momofsix
I don't know that debating the details with the manufacturing companies or doctors resolves anything. I know my pediatrician said that the thermosal or mercury is in the MMR shot. I know that my daughter's reaction and many others that I know demonstrate that it is there. Also, the hair analysis that I have proves high toxic levels of mercury that really scarred and shocked the doctor that looked over the hair analysis. I have the paper showing this. Thus, the hair analysis confirms that mercury was in that shot. Those two sources, my doctor and the hair analysis, is enough evidence for me to want to warn others...not to forget mentioning that Missouri no longer forces public school children to have the MMR shot because they see the link between autism and the shot (they are paying out a lot of money because of all the shot reactions). That is enough reason for parents to be warned and cautioned.

Thanks for visiting me, & for sharing your story. I'm glad you left me the link. It is heartwrenching to read these stories, & those of so many others. My son has been injured since a baby, so I'm not sure the product would help him anymore at his almost 13yrs now. It's a huge praise you got your daughter back!
