Interesting thing you brought up Cynthia. I do know that when meltdown time comes or my flash backs are hitting my eyes grow dark, nearly black. I also know that back in the Aderal days there would be times, mostly when the sensory was really getting to me, that there was a yellowish tinge to them that is not there normally.

I imagine, though not through observation yet, that they do perhaps darken when symptoms are irritated. It makes sense to me, especially since that is the most dangerous time, as many times that comes right before meltdown.

Why thank you Patrons for giving this link to me.

I voted for him, mostly because I was voting againest Conway. Now I can be more pleased with my vote!

No Pattrons:
We do not know.
We listened to the debate, and there is a lot about Rand Paul that scares me, but there was a lot more that scared me about Conway!!!!

However; you may be right because I talked to an opthalmologist in Lexington this past year and he had a grandchild that had autism. He was very knowledge about the wrong kind of diet has been promoted by the medical instituitions - he was really into the low carb diet for himself and the no glutien /no cassien diet for his grandson.

He knew all about inflammation and had it figured out that it was not cholesterol that was the intial problem of clogging up the blood vessels but inflamation.

So, maybe he and Rand Paul has crossed paths. Hopefully.

I too had years of exposure to thimerosal contact lens solution. I've wondered if that contributed to my 6 yr olds autism. With my second baby, I switched contact solution, removed (with a dam) mercury fillings, and haven't started shots (waiting to start selected shots when he turns two.) So far, no autism for child number two, but he's low tone and gets OT and PT. I found out that there was lead in my prenatal vitamins, and who knows if that contributed to anything. I’m looking for a good prenatal (without lead and without crazy % over daily recommended doses).
I'm concerned about the other preservatives and chemicals in my contact solution. I'm thinking about getting Lasik before having baby number three.
Any opinions on any of this are welcome. Thanks, Angie

Pattrons99;
Since we are left out here on our own - but being still deep into the book of "Age of Autism" which talks about the history
of medicine and it's long love affair with mercury - that might be the best place to be.

But anyway.
homopathic is malic acid - and - beta carotene.

beta carotene best source is not carrot juice but compacted pumpkin/sweet potato/butternut squash. But if carrot juice goes down easier?

malic acid - well we are trying to hold to a low carb diet -- suggestions anyone?
How much is in some apple juice?

Why any of this works, or better yet IF it works I don't know.

I can't even figure out if it is mercury or a virus, or viruses, or virus/fungus, or virus/mercury or mercury/aluminium or virus/bacteria/mercury or the immune system. ----and -- and I have been going at this for 30 some years now - and - if I don't get some clear answers soon my head is going to explode!

Just this year the low carb diet and supplements have beat back the disease for my husband. He is no longer on oxygen and the pulmonary doctors are amazed!
But I want more - I want my daughter cured - NOW! I don't want to run another long marathon cure - again for her. There have been tooooo many marathons gone on in this family already.

Kathy Blanco - very interesting comment re: glaucoma, etc. I couldn't get your link to Dr Miller's Mercury on the Mind article to work. I'll try it again or Google it in the A.M.

It may be off-topic, but a friend just recently provided me with a link to an article that just might relate to mercury poisoning of military dependents, possibly even transplacental transfer to the unborn. We need an investigative journalist in the U.K. to look into this for us. John Stone?

May have mentioned before, but my mother swears my eyes were bright blue until I was 3 and then suddenly turned hazel/brown; I've needed glasses since kindergarten. My daughter's eyes were dark blue and have washed out to be more of a light gray. She has visual perception issues we're still sorting out. Me: 10 mercury fillings, years of thimerosal contact lens solution, sushi, free flu shots at work, porphyrins in normal range. Her: High mercury on porphyrin test.

Dr Donald MIller mentions glaucoma in connection with mercury in his article
Mercury n the Mind:

http://www.oradix.com/health-library/idx/0/055/article/Newsletter_1a__Mercury_on_the_Mind.html
Newsletter 1/a - Mercury on the Mind Do you have dental amalgam fillings?
Got any vaccines, including flu or RhoGham vaccine? Do you eat sea food? Did
you (or do you) live downwind from a coal-burning plant? If you answered
'yes' to any of these questions than chances are that you're mercury toxic;
your child has learning disabilities, ADD or Autism; and later in life
you'll get Alzheimer's and other chronic diseases ? unless the toxic mercury
is removed from the body.

You could benefit from chelation/detoxification if you experience (or want
to do steps to avoid) any of these:
ADHD; Allergies; Antisocial behavior; Autism; Autoimmune disease; Cancer;
Candida; Chronic fatigue; Cold hand or feet; Constipation, Diarrhea or Leaky
Gut; Depression; Fibromyalgia; Glaucoma; Headache; Heart problems; Learning
disabilities; Low IQ; Mental illness; Neurological disease; PMS & female
problems; Regular flu or cold; Stroke, Your bowel movements smell terrible;
You have to use deodorant because you are rotting inside, etc. If you don't
have any of these than your toxic load is (still) low and your body's
ability to detoxify is better than the average.

Heavy Metals are the major source for the production of free radicals as
well as undermining the internal environment and body chemistry. Heavy
Metals reduce the efficacy of medical treatment by up to 60%. There is
little hope for antioxidants and mineral supplements to do their job
properly, if the body is burdened with heavy metals!

That said, I conquer with the mom that the eyes grow dark almost drunken when autism is at it's worse, boy, I see that. And oh, let's not forget that most of our kids have rod and cone difficulties due to G alpha protein defect (MEGSON), and DPT has mercury in it. My daughter has problems going up and down stairs and slopes, and I am often rescuing her in the midst of a blood curtiling scream to give her assistant. I asked her one day what it feels like...she said, it's like I am falling off the edge of a cliff, I can't see what is in front of me on stairs or slopes. Needless to say, our trips to stadiums, beaches, movie theatres are real fun, not. VIT A has helped a bit, but there is still occipital lobe damage (ah yes, the part of the brain that usually is damaged by mercury).

My husband's neurologist says that she now has about a dozen patients that have his trouble, mitochondria cytopathy or myopathy - oxidation phosphoralation. She asked him for informatation since he has had if for 20 years now. She said that many of her patients have strabismus - eye dividations. My husband told her is was typical for mitochondria cytopathy but so far he had been lucky. He is very sensitive to light though. You will never catch him with out sunglassess even on cloudy stormy days.

My son was looking out of the corner of his eyes from 1 year untill he was 4. He to this day has great periphial vision. However, around the seventh grade I noticed he was taking a long time to focus his eyes before he began to read aloud.

Here is what my son Ped did to him.

In the seventh grade they had to have a mandatory checkup. So I just took him to the peds, and they ran him through a check list of stuff including looking in that big,clumsy eye machine. All was fine (he was starting to have myclonic jerks by then) Yeap he was fine.

A month later was when I noticed he was taking too long to focus his eyes to begin to read aloud to me. So I took him to an opthamolgist. The office worker immediately called our insurance company and found out that that eye exam that the ped gave my son cost 350 dollars.

That is what a sure enough opthamogist - who really gives the whole sure enough works charges.

I did not get my son his eye exam because it cost 350 dollars. Peds said it was okay, and hubby said that is a lot of money for something that has already been checked out.

Long story short: The next three years were full of seizures, myclonic jerks, moving 9 hours away cross states,new job, new school more doctors, more seizures, untill at last the day became calm enough that we consider getting his driver's permit.

The lady at the driver's permit office said as he gazed into the same big machine that was at the ped's office - there was something wrong with his vision.

Oh, and I just got a letter four months earlier from his new school that his vision was fine.

Why does everything have to be so hard, seizures was bad enough but looks like they could have at least told me he needed glasses.

His opthamolgist said he was young and those young muscles could finally make him focus but to the extent of making his head hurt if he had to read or focus for too long.

Hi polliwog-

Not sure if your question was to me or someone else. I am bringing up Meg's change of eye color as a curious point, that they were very light blue and they are now a dark green with brown. I am not saying anything is wrong with green or hazel eyes. It is an interesting occurrence that I just want to point out.

When at the eye doctor 2 weeks ago, I asked why was it that Meg's eye color would have changed and is that odd? The doctor replied that "it just happens sometimes to those with light colored eyes -- does not happen with dark colored eyes -- they don't change to blue."

I got a flu shot when I was pregnant 9 years ago (the nurse acted like it was normal procedure). While still pregnant I remember watching T.V. and something strange happened with my vision. Peripherally I could see the words at the bottom of the screen, but when I focused on the words to read them I could not see to read (blind spot/cloud).
I felt panicked. In order to calm down I hoped I was dehydrated, drank water and took a nap. I have not had vision issues before or after that incident.
Who knows.

So what if you have hazel eyes? Hazel eyes are very common in my family

Cataracts are generally associated with age. Might be informative to see if there are any studies on increrase in number of people with them since the advent of contacts and thimerosal containing contact solutions.

I had two separate mercury exposures around the age of 7, then developed "Asperger's-like" behaviors and also went from decent eyesight to needing glasses withing two years of that. I've worn glasses since then, but they never seemed to really help my overall vision, which was always very hard for me to explain to an eye doctor (I had trouble looking directly at things). One year after chelating myself I didn't need my glasses anymore most of the time(not to mention a lot of pesky behaviors went bye-bye). I've had my eyes tested and my prescription, while still not 20/20, has improved dramatically. The doctor was stumped. I didn't tell him about the chelation because people can get funny on that subject. I'm not clear enough on the science to be SURE there's a connection, but it's interesting. Did it possibly change my visual acuity, or did it just enable me to look at things "properly"?

This 1946 paper deals with a brown reflex (due to mercury exposure) from the eyes of a thermometer maker:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1315201/pdf/taos00055-0084.pdf

Is Hg topically absorbed into the eye associated with increased cataract risk?

I was exposed to thimerosal from contact lens solution for decades and I'm developing cataracts.

Riley's mom- I think that amount in the meercury free one is .3 or .03 mcg. One of my cats developed optic neuritis overnight last year-seeing one day and blind the next.
She was vaccinated many years ago when they still had mercury in feline vaccines. Wonder if there's a connection. I also have strabismus myself since birth and a progressive eye disease involving the retina.
It would be interesting to know if there is a connection.

CRS involves the eyes. I've shared this before: I have a brother with CRS. See The Age of Autism pages 216-223. He is almost completely blind, with aniridia, and a number of other problems. Coincidence?

Why would a mother (my mom) who was heavily-vaccinated, as the wife of a military veteran (my dad) of three wars, deliver a child (my brother) with CRS? Coincidence?

I wonder whether transplacental transfer of live virus and/or organomercurials took place. This was NOT genetic!

Another huge indictment of mercury. Thank you for this well-researched article, Teresa. Our own pediatric opthamologist once told me that he sees a lot of problems in his special needs patients.

With all the "studies" telling us about eye gaze, eye contact, etc. how odd that none have made this connection. I suppose the word "mercury" in a grant proposal would immediately eliminate it from consideration.

You'd think mercury was a healthy vegetable- with the special place our medical community gives it. Their day will come.

These observations and connections make me sick when I think of how much my child has suffered with his vision problems.

Why don't we design a systematic study using "synchrotron x-ray fluorescence mapping" in non-human primates with full adherence to the Nuremberg Code and Articles of Helinski as a function of time after injection with a vaccine, e.g. hep B, MMR, DPT, TDaP, Gardasil, flu jabs from multidose vials? This would effectively use the test subject as their own control, before and after "inoculation". We need to better understand the biodistribution and pharmacokinetics of aluminum adjuvants and thimerosal. There is more than one mechanism of toxicity. The mechanisms of toxicity are operating in parallel. The mechanisms of toxicity are synergistic and cummulative.

We are being systematically poisoned by the vaccine schedules and mandated vaccines. There is no doubt on this point, despite what the pharmawhores, trolls, and Dark Lords of the vaccine industry would have us believe.

Incredibly fascinating. Thanks, Teresa.
