Matt went to Baton Rouge to see the DAN! doctor on July 11, 2000. During the visit, we were first interviewed and talked at least an hour about his problems and how they begin etc.etc. Then Matt gave several vials of blood for tests and we left with a urine kit and a hair analysis kit and a stool kit. On September 5, I returned for the results of his tests. I discovered that he has had an on-going mercury problem and food allergies. His amino acids were not balanced lacking phenylanine, taurine, and tyrosine. These are important in brain development and function. His vitamins were particularly low and his fatty acids were all over the place. His dermorphins were 10X reference!!!!!!! It's like he's been taking a morphine shot every 2hours for his whole life!!!Casomorphins were also high. This is consistant with mercury poisoning. I had saved a lock of Matt's baby hair from the period where I was seeking diagnosis and going from doctor to doctor. We had this analyzed also but the results weren't in that day. The results came in and I was shocked! This child was so heavy metal poisoned and wasn't tested for that. If I had known that was the problem initially and had removed the metals, he would not have been an institutionalized nonverbal severe profound autistic today, I believe. It makes me angry to think that he could have been treated and it wasn't even considered a possibility at that time. The tests and treatments were in place and his symptoms were consistant but autism was considered a MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEM and not a BIOLOGICAL or IMMUNE SYSTEM problem. Matt was a sacrifice to that theology.I believe he got the heavy metals in his system via vaccinations. It was a direct hit. You are probably aware that if you were the lucky recipient of the last dose from the vaccine vial, odds are good you got 10X the mercury that the manufacturer intended. I think we all know that mercury is toxic in any amount. The good news is, the doctor believes that with the DAN protocol, Matt will recover his speech and we will see big changes in him. I am thankful for this opportunity to get his body healthy again as God intended it to be. That's all I can do now. But it makes me sad thinking about how he suffered and was damaged and it was soooooooooo avoidable. And that he wasn't the only one. The assault continues today on innocent little babies. If you believe your child is autistic as a result of the vaccines whether it be the DPT's with the mercury or the MMR's with the live viruses (Started in 1988), you should contact an attorney at 1-800-898-7969. We intend to stop this and stop it now. You can order the hair analysis test but the results have to be sent to a doctor. Your doctor may not want to be involved in this controversy, so check first. Good Luck!
