Because there is no evidence that autism is caused by mercury poisoning, nor that chelation can cure autism. You say so repeatedly, but we tend to dismiss undocumented claims hereabouts. Especially coming from morons.
Case in point:
See how it works?
Maybe you ignored asterion’s request, as you have done for all the other claims for credible cites, or maybe you actually read it and say that there was a word in it that you didn’t understand (“ligands”*). Warning! Warning! Danger, Will Robinson - someone here knows something about chemistry!
So now you have a choice. Either you can respond to what you claimed you wanted - a request for specifics - in which case you will be humiliated, mocked, and generally shown up to be the half-educated fraud that you doubtless are.
Or you can ignore the request, in which case you will be humiliated, mocked, and shown up to be the half-educated fraud you are.
Having no children, I can say that I do not have autistic children. However, I have worked with Autistic children when I was a younger lad, and you will find there are folks on this board who have autistic children.
None of them, AFAIK, use their children as a shield to hide from proper criticism of their own sheer intellectual arrogance, spreading of conspiracy theories, and discarding of the scientifics method as you have.
Fine, it’s ALA and not DMSA. Not a big deal (a cyclic disulfide bidentate ligand compared to a dithiol bidentate ligand) but I believe you are wrong about only ALA being able to pass back across the blood-brain barrier. Why is ALA being used when DMSA has better clinical effectiveness? More importantly, ALA has not been cleared by the US FDA for use in chelation treatment, so why the heck are you claiming that it is what is being used? Unproven treatment is risky enough, but doing so with a compound that has not been cleared when others have been is just idiocy.
Glad to. Your first post was up for just over a day–a day in which I had repeated difficulties getting to the internet.
The person claiming to be a lawyer made no mention of neurodiversity at any time, so I have no idea whether there is one lawyer or many lawyers (or claimants to be lawyers) wandering around this litttle ongoing feud in which you are engaged. As I have already pointed out, the person who claimed to be a lawyer objected to quite a few posts–including submissions of people with whom you were in conflict on this board. Only your posts violated the rules of this board, and we have already allowed you to repost the drek from your posts that was not in violation of our rules.
Now, since you couch your entire life in terms of conspiracies, I don’t really expect you to believe that. That’s fine. A person who only owns a hammer sees everything as a type of nail and a person who believes that conspiracies rule the world sees all decisions as formed by conspiracies. I have no interest in persuading you, because you will only accpet things that you have decided to believe before you have heard evidence.
Nothing you have said on this board gives me any reason to believe anything you say, either.
So, because (you claim) a few people in your family happened to escape more serious harm from some diseases. we’re supposed to ignore the tens of thousands of people who really did die or were crippled by those same diseases?
There were over 3,000 deaths due to polio in the twentieth century and every person I have met who suffered from it was, at minimum, lame and most were crippled. (And the lame ones all began to suffer more serious crippling when they got into their 60s.)
What kinds of tests did you have done for you son? What were the results? How much did they cost? How much does the chelation cost and how/how frequently/ and where is it done (home or clinic?)? Are you still testing/treating?
Ah, I just remembered the other question I meant to ask. Oral or intravenous administration of the chelator? (That can be a big deal when it comes to treatment.)
Oral
How much does the chelation cost and how/how frequently/ and where is it done (home or clinic?)? Are you still testing/treating?
I chelate every other weekend for 3 days, 50mg ALA every 3 hours for a 125 pound kid. Lots of vitamin C, zinc, magnesium, vit E, supernuthera, milk thistle, cod liver oil, acidophilus. It all costs $30 to $40 a month. I do see a doctor.
I’ve been winning some horse races at Belmont and this is all I have time to answer at the moment.
The effect of mercury on neural degeneration in snail brains does not demonstrate anything about autism. I don’t believe the word “autism” is even spoken once in that video.
You don’t understand a thing about any of this, do you?
foresam, why are you ignoring my question? Did you have your child tested for mercury poisoning before you began this “treatment”, or did you start treatment without any evidence of mercury poisoning?
Ignoring some questions while answering others does not improve your credibility.

The fact that a lawyer was bothering people and being a pain in the ass should have aroused your suspicions. You should have shared her letters with all of us and let us expose the fraud completely.
You could avoid the 3,000 deaths (maybe) and stop causing autism by simply removing thimerosal. Where’s the problem with that? Safe vaccines is the goal
My son was diagnosed as autistic just before his third birthday. He entered developmental preschool that year. At school, he had speech therapy 3-4 times a week, occupational therapy twice a week, and physical therapy once a week. We did no outside therapy, no specialized vitamins or diet, no chelation - nothing else.
He is now 13 and is pretty much indistinguishable from kids of his age with no diagnosis. So should I be advocating for parents of autistic kids to follow our lead so that their children can be ‘cured’, too?
Conspiracy theories or, in this case, coverups are not advertised by the criminals involved in them. Someone has to expose them.
It’s not intellecftual arrogance to report what I have seen. It would be stupidity to bow down to nitwits who have not witnessed the same thing, therefore refuse to believe it.
I didn’t discard any scientific methods. I simply took advice from respectable scientists who help children instead of poisoning them and lying about it.
Suse,
Yes you should. I followed the same path. It was useless for my son. If it’s also useless for others, they should then follow my lead and see if mercury is preventing development. The kid has a better chance to recover if intervention is begun while he’s young.
