What’s Going On? – The Question of Continuing High Levels of Toxic Metal Excretion

It’s been said that a parent is only as happy as their least happy child. That saying should probably be reworked for autism parents. We will be obsessed to the degree of impairment of our least recovered child.
I’m fortunate that my son Ben had a complete recovery with the quick implementation of the gluten/casein free diet after his 18 month vaccination, but after seven years of bio-medical treatments my daughter Jacqueline is still severely affected with autism and seizures. It is for her and the parents of other children like her that I write this article.
THE PROBLEM
About four years ago I started tracking my daughter’s toxic metal excretions using the Doctor’s Data lab. The woman who answers the phone at the lab knows me as the guy who asks if the latest UTM has been completed on “my lovely daughter.” I’ve got close to 50 of these tests on her and thanks to Jacqueline’s doctor they’ve been charted on graphs.
From the beginning aluminum showed itself to be a problem. Her excretions have ranged from 8-13 times normal. In August of 2006 when we were going after strep her aluminum excretion hit a high of 80 times normal. Her aluminum excretion has ebbed and flowed since that time, but it’s still usually somewhere between 5-10 times normal. The other metals have also ebbed and flowed, but aluminum has been the most dramatic.
