Low Levels of Mercury in Autistic

by

 

The following article may be very interesting for those of you who believe that high levels of toxic metals may cause autism. I believe studies are still being done to determine if autistic children are sipply unable to excrete the metals. Does anyone here have contradicting evidence? If so, what were the results, and what did chelation do for your children?


"A study of mercury levels in the baby hair of children who were later diagnosed with autism has produced startling results. The babies had far lower levels of mercury in their hair than other infants, leading to speculation that autistic children either do not absorb mercury or, more likely, cannot excrete it."
