LEAD and autism

I just got back Nickys last blood and urine lab results. Every half a year we usually test him for yeast and missing nutrials. It always gives us a view what his body can process and what's missing.
Usally the test comes up with lots of yeast problems, but also Nicky’s problems with getting rid of toxins.
When is saw our DAN two weeks ago i decided on making a heavy metal test, b/c i felt something else is going on with Nick and i wanted to find out.
So we made the test which means Nicky has to take a capsule of DMSA, that kind of sucks the toxins out of his body and shows it in an urin sample we collect for the rest of the day.
The test before we gave the capsule showed already lead levels twice as high as safe.
The result of the second test, where all urine gets collected after the capsule, showed (are you sitting?) 13 times higher than they say its safe.
WOW!
I am very proud and happy that after 5 years doing biomedical intervention i just know there is something going on with him.
BUT, I am sad that two years after doing chelation we are back on the heavy metal issue. Even I keep every possible toxins away from him, Nicky’s body has not the ability to detoxify himself. And let’s face it: It's everywhere, every day. Your air, your water, your food, the clothes you just wear.
For us moms with kids on the spectrum, we just have to detox them with meds and supplements and just hope the pollution of our world will get less.
Writing this my beautiful boy is sitting in the living room shaking his head, spinning wheels and screaming out of his lungs......
1 in 91 children is diagnosed with autism, 1 in 58 boys (!!!)......

Swine flu vaccination

Lately there have been a lot of people asking my opinion on the swine flu vaccination. Most of you know my standing on this controversy. It's a straigt NO. There are different reasons:

• One: I have a child who got probably autism by day one when he received his Hep.B. shot at the hospital


• Two: This swine flu vaccination has not been testet long enough in my opinion, if you read about cervical cancer vaccination there has been some discussion lately.


• Three( And this is the most important part of it!): Both companies who produce the serum for swine flu vaccination add a preservative called Thimerosal . Most of you never heared from it, but every mother with a child on the autism spectrum is at war with this preservative. It's simple said mercury.

Side effects of this vaccination are rarely known, b/c it's so new, no clinical studies have been made!

So see youself as a ginnie pig when you go get your shot. Your doctor will probably ask you to call in if you feel any side effects accouring. YOU are the STUDY!

Writing this makes me really mad, and i know how hard it is to watch the news in the United States and don't get sucked into the hype about vaccinations.

Think about it and decide wisly. Have a healty flu season!

Obama Announces Breaking News: $92 Million in Stimulus Funds for Autism Research

I am sitting in tears while i am writing this. Finally the government is doing more than looking the other way. I just hope they listen to us parents too in the future.

Please read along...

President Barack Obama announced a plan on Wednesday to spend $5 billion on medical and scientific research, medical supplies and upgrading laboratory capacity, as part of an overall $100 billion Recovery Act investment in science and technology. Importantly, Obama's announcement also included a commitment to funding $92 million into autism research. In his speech to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Obama said “And finally, we'll also provide the largest-ever infusion of funding into autism research. Across the country, grant recipients will have the opportunity to study genetic and environmental factors of a disease that now touches more than one in every 150 children. What we learn will hopefully lead to greater understanding, early interventions, more effective treatments and therapies to help these children live their lives and achieve their fullest potential, which is extraordinary.”

Autism Speaks played a vital role lobbying NIH for $100 million of the economic stimulus package.
