Dental Amalgams What your Dentist is not telling you

It is about time the FDA admits to what many parents have been saying!!

I was blessed to have learned about the harm in Dental Amalgams from the TACA organization , Where I also learned about AUTISM .

Thanks to all of the information I learned in 2007 I was able to choose better for my David who has many sensitivities in brushing his teeth so he had about 10 cavities . Getting him to brush was just a horrible experience. Most of the time by screaming and crying and forcing him to get the toothbrush in his mouth . This is very typical of children on the Spectrum (PDD) because they are just sensitive to that area .

We took the kids to their 6 month dental check up .David accompany me this time because it is very difficult to get David to cooperate . Thank God I have my husband to help the doctor , who by the way is a young knowledgeable guy who explained Amalgams and mercury in 2007. My husband and myself decided that David would not have any AMALGAMS and so we were able to pay for him to get white fills that are 100% natural and safe . they run from 100 to 150 each fill but it sure is worth it . My husband ended up paying about 750 dollars in 2 treatments . The front of David's teeth also needed work so we did the 100%steel that the doctor told us is safe and strong .

I noticed a huge difference between David and Alanis who did get amalgams when she was 2 1/2 this is before I even knew about the harm of them . I'm glad though that these teeth are now falling and she is getting her new ones slowly but surely.

The FDA ( Food and drug Administration) who is supposed to be approving the safest way for us and our kids to receive the best care in Food & in Medicine. Aren't we in the "safest" country in the world , One that looks out for the best of our children?. Well WRONG! , As we came in for my son's dental check up we read the following announcement that was placed all over the area of work of the dentist's .( In regard to the amalgams). So the FDA admits of the amalgams having 50% mercury and it's harm. But yet they approved it for use UNDER YOUR OWN RISK!!!! This is so ridicules .

This is my David at the Dentist . He was being held by dad , Yes he doesn't behave well at the dentist still even though this Doctor has been with him since very small . He had a great check up this time no cavities and all of the white fills are perfect no damages . I guess the 750 dollars was worth it .

What does the FDA ( Food and Drug administration say in their web site about Amalgams ?....

Dental Amalgams

Questions and Answers on Dental Amalgam

*1. What is dental amalgam?
Dental amalgam is the silver-colored material used to fill (restore) teeth that have cavities. Dental amalgam is made of two nearly equal parts: liquid mercury and a powder containing silver, tin, copper, zinc and other metals. Mercury concentration in dental amalgams is generally about 50% by weight, while the silver concentration ranges from 20-35%.

*2. What is FDA’s role in dental amalgam?

Dental amalgams are medical devices and are regulated by FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH). CDRH is responsible for ensuring that medical devices are reasonably safe and effective and that the labeling has adequate directions for use and any appropriate warnings.

*3. What are the safety concerns about dental amalgam?

Dental amalgams contain mercury, which may have neurotoxic effects on the nervous systems of developing children and fetuses. When amalgam fillings are placed in teeth or removed from teeth, they release mercury vapor. Mercury vapor is also released during chewing. FDA’s rulemaking (described in question 7) will examine evidence concerning whether release of mercury vapor can cause health problems, including neurological disorders, in children and fetuses. (What is under neurological disorders? AUTISM, PDD,ASPERGERS,RETTS Sindrome,ADHD, Alhzimers disease,Bipolar Disorder, Anxiety ETC>>> The list goes on)
Since the 1990s, FDA and other government agencies (CDC, NIH) have reviewed the scientific literature looking for links between dental amalgams and health problems.

In September 2006, an advisory panel to the FDA reviewed FDA’s research and heard presentations from the public about the benefits and risks of mercury and amalgam.
You can read the summary of the panel meeting at: Joint Meeting of the Dental Products Panel (CDRH) and the Peripheral and Central Nervous System Drugs Advisory Committee (CDER) - September 6-7, 2006

It is about time we listen . It is about time we paid close attention to our kids and what their needs are and don't trust all of our Government Agencies to make choices for us . Is about time we start reading instead of DOING NOTHING to better the life of our kids .

International Meeting for Autism Research reports latest on autism causes and treatments

900 research and educational presentations, lectures and panel discussions including 30 presentations/demonstrations on innovative technologies for autism

CHICAGO, IL – The 8th Annual International Meeting for Autism Research (IMFAR) will host more than 1500 researchers, delegates, autism specialists, and students in the world's largest gathering of researchers and clinicians devoted to a better understanding of autism. The meeting will be held at the Hilton Chicago Hotel from May 6-9, 2009. Meeting sponsors include Autism Speaks, the Simons Foundation, the Autism Society of America and the National Institutes of Health.


Attendance at this year's meeting is up more than 20 percent from the previous year, reflecting heightened interest and more awareness of this disorder that is now recognized to affect up to one in 150 children in the United States and an estimated one percent of individuals worldwide.
Current research on autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) involves sophisticated behavioral, genetic and biological approaches that require interdisciplinary research collaborations to gain comprehensive knowledge of the disorder. Scientists at IMFAR will discuss and disseminate the latest scientific findings aiming to stimulate research progress toward a better understanding of the nature, causes and treatment options for ASDs.


By bringing together both clinicians and research scientists, IMFAR provides a unique opportunity to foster international dialogue across various disciplines and methods.



This year's meeting includes over 900 research and educational presentations, lectures and panel discussions. In addition, there will be a new feature: a daylong demonstration of the latest Innovative Technologies for Autism on Friday, May 8 from 9:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.

It takes hundreds if not thousands of experts in brain fuction ,biological studies,psychiatrists ,therapist,biology expertsETC>>>...To try and figure our Gods creation . Meaning our kids brain mapping and fuction , The big question is WHY?>>> and HOW?>>> ..It is about time that science starts to see things only a hand full of scientists saw back in the the 1950's.

http://www.autism.com/ari/aboutari.htm

Dr. Rimland's determination was spawned by his own son's diagnosis of autism, at age two, in 1958. After this discovery, and convinced by his research, Rimland fought hard in the 1960's to advance the cause of early behavioral intervention (commonly known as ABA). While most mainstream professionals rejected it, today - four decades later - they fully accept its value. Now Rimland and his colleagues (who believe that drugs too often cause more harm than good) are pioneering the use of laboratory tests to identify problems in children's metabolism which can be corrected through the use of diets, vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other safe and natural substances normally present in the body.

Defeat Autism Now! is dedicated to the exploration, evaluation, and dissemination of scientifically documented biomedical interventions for individuals within the autism spectrum, through the collaborative efforts of clinicians, researchers, and parents.

There is yet another area in which the authorities have again been shown to be wrong-an area which has been given far too little attention. Despite the sacred cow status of vaccines, the truth must be told: Not only has the safety of vaccines been vastly overstated, so has their efficacy. Vaccines are nowhere near as effective in preventing diseases such as measles, pertussis, polio and smallpox as the drug companies, the professional medical associations, the FDA, and the CDC would have you believe.

Parents are in a constant battle with their child pediatrician about their clear IGNORANCE!! on how to detect or treat AUTISM. Autism is a neurological and biological disorder that can be treated to a certain extent. Our number one healer is the Lord the one who created us and our kids .

This hand full of scientist are taking a look at how our body has been created and how it works and how it has the capacity to heal its own self . And is only obvious that it is the hand of God who is being placed on these kids bodies when we see healing happening when we remove certain foods when we make changes in habit like the way we cook our food or the cleaning products we chose to clean our home and how we chose to control how the vaccines are being given to our kids.


These kids are here for a very special reason , That is to open our minds to the possibility to live better and healthier life's . We struggle every single day as we get older with heart disease, hypertension , etc. it all comes down on exercise and the food we eat every single day .


We have been created in God's image that means we are meant to be perfect . Our bodies can take only 100% natural substances to help its natural process of digestion .

Psalms 103:2-4

2 Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits-
3 who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your
life from hell ,and crowns you with love and compassion,

Lets never forget to first place the Lord and our Prayers may always be sent to him before we start anything with our kids . As we set ourselves to healing their perfect bodies .

Autism in Britain costs about $43 billion

What is the U.S.A waiting for ?????

LONDON, May 21 (UPI) -- The annual costs of autism spectrum disorder in Britain is more than $42 billion a year, researchers estimate.

The study, published in the Journal Autism, said the cost of supporting children with autism spectrum disorder was estimated to be $4.2 billion per year. The cost of carrying for adults with the disorder was put at $39 billion annually.

Martin Knapp of the London School of Economics provided a comprehensive analysis of the economic impacts of autism spectrum disorder in Britain involving the healthcare system
, social care agencies, education and housing budgets.

The costs were based on estimates for 539,766 people with autism spectrum disorder in the United Kingdom 432,750 adults age 18 and older and 107,016 children and adolescents up to age 17.
The researchers combined existing data estimating prevalence of autism, intellectual disability, place of residence, service use, lost productivity and costs per individual.

The findings were also presented at the Autism & Employment Workshop at the University of London.

Have a wonderful day everyday

Rules from God

1. Wake Up !! Decide to have a good day. "Today is the day the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and be glad in it" Psalms 118:24

2. Dress Up !! The best way to dress up is to put on a smile. A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks. "The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at outward appearance; but the Lord looks at the heart." I Samuel 16:7
3 Shut Up!! Say nice things and learn to listen. God gave us two ears and one mouth, so He must have meant for us to do twice as much listening as talking. "He who guards his lips guards his soul." Proverbs 13:3

4. Stand Up!!... For what you believe in. Stand for something or you will fall for anything.. "Let us not be weary in doing good; for at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good..." Galatians 6:9-10

5. Look Up !!... To the Lord. "I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13

6. Reach Up !!... For something higher. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him, And He will direct your path." Proverbs 3:5-6

7. Lift Up !!... Your Prayers. "Do not worry about anything; Instead PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING." Philippians 4:6

LOVE AND AUTISM !!!!!!!!!

Young adults David and Lindsey are in love -- and each has autism. ------------------- [FEB 2009]

GOOD MORNING AMERICA : ABC TV
story narrated by Robin Roberts |

David Hamrick, 29, and Lindsey Nebeker, 27, look like a typical couple in love, but what's not apparent is how hard they've worked to be together.

Hamrick and Nebeker live together in a Jackson, Miss., apartment, yet they have separate bedrooms, eat meals apart and spend most of their time focused on their own interests.

This unusual setup is how Hamrick and Nebeker, who are both autistic, make their relationship work.

About 1.5 million people in the United States have autism, with varying degrees of severity. Many people with autism struggle with the most basic social interactions, so finding love may seem like an impossibility.

Hamrick and Nebeker are high-functioning but, since childhood, both have found it difficult to make friends and even harder to keep them.

"All of her socialization had to be learned, usually by hard experience," said Nebeker's father, Gordon Nebeker.

Autistic people can also be hypersensitive to touch and sound. Hamrick can't stand when the room is too warm and cringes at certain sounds; Nebeker can't take florescent lights; and both are profoundly uncomfortable with small talk, said Lynn Harris, who profiled the couple for Glamour magazine.

LAUSD MR. CORTINES IS A SHAME WE VOTED FOR HIM

LAUSD PROTEST 5/15/09

I find it to be upseting all of the cuts that the very smart Mr. Cortines has done and will do after summer. I mostly getangry when the first area of the district to be affected is the Special education dept. This group already needs more asistance and it will only make it worse to remove more special ed teacher and special ed coordinators from schools . It is a shame that Mr. Cortines feels this needs to be done . He needs to spend the stimulus money he has already received .
LAUSD ( CORTINES ) I'm ASHAMED of you .......
these are pics i took from outside my window ,I was sad I could not attend with the teachers on that day since I had 3 appointments with David ...

**********************************************************

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Los Angeles Unified School District teachers went to plan B Friday after a judge barred them from staging a one-day walkout.
UTLA changed their plan because it didn't want the teachers to risk getting hit with $1,000 fines or losing their credentials.

The union held a loud demonstration at district headquarters Friday that ended with the arrest of 46 protesters who were blocking traffic. Teacher's union president A.J. Duffy was among those arrested.
Teachers also marched outside schools before class started for an hour to protest proposed budget cuts and layoffs, then reported back to classes.

The efforts are to voice their opposition to the LAUSD decision to authorize layoffs that could cost thousands of teachers and school employees their jobs and increase class sizes.
District officials went back court on Thursday seeking a more extended restraining order against the teachers, saying they were concerned that teachers would take part in intentional acts to cause a work stoppage, but the judge refused to extend his orders any further.
Eyewitness News Reporters Amy Powell and Miriam Hernandez contributed to this report.

ITS TIME FOR LAW MAKERS TO LISTEN

Dear Autism Advocate,

Autism Speaks, the nation’s largest autism science and advocacy organization, today applauded Representatives Mike Doyle (D-PA), Chris Smith (R-NJ), Eliot Engel (D-NY), and Hank Johnson (D-GA) for their introduction of a House companion bill to the Senate's Autism Treatment Acceleration Act (ATAA), which was introduced last month by Senators Richard Durbin (D-IL), Robert Casey (D-PA), and Robert Menendez (D-NJ). Like the Senate version, the House version of the ATAA (H.R. 2413) is comprehensive federal legislation that addresses several critical challenges facing the autism community, including increased funding for scientific research, treatment and services. The ATAA incorporates provisions from the Expanding the Promise of Individuals with Autism Act (EPIAA), originally proposed by Representatives Doyle, Smith, Engel, and former-Representative Chip Pickering.
As in the Senate's ATAA bill, a key section of the House bill requires all insurance companies to provide coverage for the diagnosis and treatment of autism spectrum disorder (ASDs), including coverage of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy – a medically-necessary, evidence-based autism treatment. While the number of states that have enacted comprehensive autism insurance reform legislation has grown to ten, most state insurers are still allowed to specifically exclude coverage for these critical services, which can cost upward of $50,000 a year – well beyond the means of most families.
The House version of the bill also addresses the unique needs of adults with ASDs, creating a demonstration project with one-year planning grants and multi-year implementation grants for the provision of service for adults with autism. In addition, it creates the Network for Autism Spectrum Disorders Research and Services aimed at accelerating the dissemination and utilization of critical, new information, moving it from “bench to bedside” as quickly as possible.

Now Help US Get ATAA Passed!:

MOTHERS DAY 2009

A TRIBUTE TO MOTHER

"Strength and honour are her clothing;

She shall rejoice in time to come.

She opens her mouth with wisdom,

And on her tongue is the law of kindness.

She watches over the ways of her household,

And does not eat the bread of idleness.

Her children rise up and call her blessed;

Her husband also, and he praises her:

"Many daughters have done well,

But you excell them all."

Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing,

But a woman who fears the Lord,

She shall be praised.

Give her of the fruit of her hands,

And let her own works praise her in the gates.

AUTISM THE UMBRELLA OF PDD

WHAT is autism?

The word “autism” often evokes an image of a person with the most severe symptoms of the disorder; however, autism is an umbrella term for a wide range of disorders. Clinically, they may be referred to as “Pervasive Developmental Disorders” (PDDs) or “Autism Spectrum Disorders.”

The term “spectrum” is crucial to understanding autism, because of the wide range of intensity, symptoms and behaviors, types of disorders, and as always, considerable individual variation. Children with autism spectrum disorders may be non-verbal and asocial, as in the case of many with “classic” autism, or Autistic Disorder. On the other end of the spectrum are children with a high-functioning form of autism characterized by idiosyncratic social skills and play, such as Asperger Syndrome. In the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-IV), these diagnostic categories are outlined under the heading of “Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDDs).” In the DSM-IV, these disorders are defined by deficits in three core areas: social skills, communication, and behaviors and/or interests. Types of autism spectrum disorders, or PDDs, include:

Autistic Disorder
Asperger Syndrome
Childhood Disintegrative Disorder
Rett Syndrome
Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS)

More information about the diagnostic categories of autism may be found at the Autism Society of America’s Web site.

WHEN is autism diagnosed?

The First Signs of autism most often present themselves before the age of three; with education and practice, some clinicians have even been able to identify the warning signs in children under the age of one. Often, however, 15 to 18 months is the time parents first notice loss of skills or delays in development. Please see Hallmark Developmental Milestones and Red Flags for some of the warning signs.

ADHD

ADHD is divided in 3 different groups , Those being Inatentive those being hyperactive/impulsive and those who are the both combined , Girls on the Inatentive type of the spectrum are dificult to diagnose, Sometimes these girls go un diagnosed all their life . Please take a notice and don't ever ignore the problem .

The INATENTIVE TYPE:

* Has difficulty following instructions
* Has difficulty keeping attention on work or play activities at school and at home
* Loses things needed for activities at school and at home
* Appears not to listen
* Doesn't pay close attention to details
* Seems disorganized
* Has trouble with tasks that require planning ahead
* Forgets things
* Is easily distracted

ADHD who is hyperactive/impulsive :

* Fidgety
* Runs or climbs inappropriately
* Can't play quietly
* Blurts out answers
* Interrupts people
* Can't stay in seat
* Talks too much
* Is always on the go
* Has trouble waiting his or her turn

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I THINK MY CHILD HAS ADHD?

Talk with your child's doctor. A diagnosis of ADHD can be made only by getting information about your child's behavior from several people who know your child. Your doctor will ask you questions and may want to get information from your child's teachers or anyone else who is familiar with your child's behavior. Your doctor may have forms or checklists that you and your child's teacher can fill out. This will help you and your doctor compare your child's behavior with other children's behavior.

Your doctor will do vision and hearing tests if these tests haven't been done recently.
Your doctor may recommend trying medicine to see if it helps control your child's hyperactive behavior. A trial of medicine alone cannot be the basis for diagnosing ADHD. However, it can be an important part of evaluating your child if ADHD is suspected.
It might be hard for your doctor to tell if your child has ADHD. Many children who have ADHD aren't hyperactive in the doctor's office. For this reason, your doctor may want your child to see someone who specializes in helping children who have behavior problems, such as a psychologist.

WHAT CAUSES ADHD?

Children who have ADHD do not make enough chemicals in key areas in the brain that are responsible for organizing thought. Without enough of these chemicals, the organizing centers of the brain don't work well. This causes the symptoms in children who have ADHD. Research shows that ADHD is more common in children who have close relatives with the disorder. Recent research also links smoking and other substance abuse during pregnancy to ADHD.


WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP MY CHILD?

A team effort, with parents, teachers and doctors working together, is the best way to help your child. Children who have ADHD tend to need more structure and clearer expectations. Some children benefit from counseling or from structured therapy. Families may benefit from talking with a specialist in managing ADHD-related behavior and learning problems. Medicine also helps many children. Talk with your doctor about what treatments he or she recommends.

WILL MY CHILD OUTGROW ADHD?

We used to think children would "grow out" of ADHD. We now know that is not true for most children. Symptoms of ADHD often get better as children grow older and learn to adjust. Hyperactivity usually stops in the late teenage years. But about half of children who have ADHD continue to be easily distracted, have mood swings, hot tempers and are unable to complete tasks. Children who have loving, supportive parents who work together with school staff, mental health workers and their doctor have the best chance of becoming well-adjusted adults.

SINDROME DE ASPERGER

La Respuesta es simple!!!

Esta aca un video perfecto , En el cual se puede mostrar la inteligencia de nuestros hijos con asperger Pero tambien la realidad de la cultura nuestra encuanto a terapias en special de socialisacion cual es una de las terapias claves para poder seguir adelante en la vida de ninos y de adultos de nuestros pequenos y adolecentes .

Yo e recibido muchisima critica en mi iglesia en la calle en la escuela en mi familia etc., Del porque yo doy tanta terapia a mis hijos . Constante critica por muchos , Es dificil aveses tener que responder a personas que en mi opinion solo jusgan sin tener las erramientas suficientes para poder enterder la situacion de cada uno de nuestros hijos . Lo que mas me molesta es la critica de padres que tienen a hijos en el espectro autista quien les gusta decir cosas que abeses puede doler .

Aca se encuentran las cosas que nuestros hijos con asperger tienen que lidiar de dia a con dia .

ASPERGER
1. Coeficiente intelectual generalmente por encima de lo normal.
2. Diagnóstico general después de los tres años.
3. Aparición del lenguaje en tiempo normal.
4. Gramática y vocabulario por encima del promedio.
5. Interés general en las relaciones sociales.
6. Algunos rasgos de torpeza.
7. Intereses obsesivos de alto nivel.
8. Padres detectan problemas alrededor de los 2,5 años de edad.
9. El diagnóstico se hace a una edad media de 11,3 años.
10. Las quejas de los padres son problemas de lenguaje o en socialización o conducta.

Claramente que nuestros ninos con asperger son super inteligentes , La deficiensia mas grande que ellos tienen es la socializacion . No que no quieran socializarce si no que nadie les a ensenado . De este hay grados bajos medios y altos . Pero es mi fe y mi experiencia que todo es posible en Cristo y La bendicion de la terapia social y de comportamiento ABA (Applied behavior analisys).Como persona de fe creo que el Senor de los cielos trae el conjunto de fe y medicina natural mas terapia's para que nuestros hijos puedan lograr grandes cosas en la vida .

En el video que yo quisiera que ustedes tomaran el tiempo en ver se mira la inteligencia de estos jobenes pero al mismo tiempo nadie claramente le a dado un segundo de terapia social ni de terapia de comportamiento . Ahora si bemos auna phsycologa que los mira probablemente cada semana o cada mes . Estas phycologas no estan capasitadas para proveer la terapia de socializacion ni de corportamiento . Es estandar qu eun nino o joben o adulto con autismo continue viendo a un phsycologo durante su vida.

Terapia de Socializacion y comportamiento :

En esta se le ensena al nino o al adolescente a hablar de forma apropiada . A tomar turnos hablando a aprender a obserbar los manerismos de los ojos y del cuerpo . Se les ensena lo que es el tomar turnos a saber la diferencia entre lo literal y lo que es fictisio . Se les ensena a aceptar que a lo mejor los demas no los ban a aceptar pero que esto esta bien . Ellos aprienden a poder entablar una conversacion y a poder sostenerla con sus companeros del colegio hasi como en la vida diaria .

Estas terapias son importantisimas pues se habla dela ansiedad social que estos ninos tienen todos los dias . El nerviosismo que no les permite aveses poder sobresalir .

En el video podran ver que estos jobenes no an podido tomar las terapias necesaria que les permite instituirse al publico normal . Para ellos es muy dificil el poder tener un tranajo por su ansiedad social y al nino mas pequeno no le an ayudado a salir de su mundo todavia jira cosas en su mano todavia es un poco hiperactivo creo que posiblemente sufre de un problema de atraso sensoral que no le permite estar en paz .

Creo con una Fe total en Dios que El mismo a puesto estos medios para poder lograr cosas grandes. Es muy triste para mi que un padre con un nino especial deje todo a un lado y quiera ignorar sus necesidades tratandolo mal o ignorando lo que lo puede agudar amejorar su conducta o su problema social . El ignorar los problemas de nuestros hijos el gritarles a ellos o el decir que se les ba a quitar solamente hace lo sigiente : cresen y no logran en muchas formas llegar a entender porque se sienten de la forma en la cual se siente . Muchos se casan y si Dios no les proveen una pareja que los comprenda pueden casarse varias veses. Quisas no podran entender a sus hijos y no pueden entender el porque se su propia confusion .

Les agradesco el haver leido esta nota . Pido disculpas por mi mala ortografia , Yo se que no es la mejor . En este mes de Abril quiero celebrar la bellesa dela diferencia de los ninos con AUTISMO .
