My letter to my son's former pediatrician
- Posted on 11.06.08
My son was diagnosed in 2004. I read Evidence of Harm when it came out in April 2005. That's when I realized the truth of what happened to my son. I questioned vaccines in 2000 because I heard about the question of vaccines being related to autism. I can still envision and hear the conversation in my head and it really made it impossible for me to get through David's book. I felt physically ill reading the truth. Of course, at the time, my son was in bad shape - couldn't control his bowels, tantruming, non-responsive to those around him, played with nobody. So reading the book while my son was next to me suffering from what I believe is criminal just brought me tears.

Thankfully for us, my son responded well ... extremely well to biomedical and chelation. Which proves to me my son wasn't born this way, he was poisoned. So this past June when David Kirby was presenting at Northeastern University, I felt compelled to write a letter to the pediatrician whom I no longer went to after reading David's book in 2005. When I had my son's medical records transferred in 2004 to another pediatrician, I got a letter from the pediatrician asking why I left. I never responded because I was too mad and wanted all my energy to go into healing my son.

So here's the long awaited letter I mailed in June of this year:

Dear Dr. XXXXX,

In all good conscience I must write this letter. When I brought my son to you for his vaccines and expressed my concerns in 2000 about the mercury in the vaccines, you told me not to worry. You said vaccines only contained “trace” levels. Perhaps this is what you believed by misinformation, but the reality is the following for my son who received shots from 1999 to 2003:

The dosage thought to be safely allowed on a daily basis by Environmental Protection Agency is 0.1mcg per kilogram of body weight per day. At 2 months of age my son had received 62.5 mcg of mercury from 3 infant vaccines. According to EPA criteria, his allowable dose was only 0.5mcg based on his weight. He had received 125 times his allowable exposure on that one day. These exposures continued at 4, 6, 12 and 18 months to a total mercury exposure of 237.5 mcg.

I hardly think the 237.5 mcg of mercury is trace. I’m confident you would agree.

No wonder he slipped into his own world. Thankfully, I brought him back by pulling the heavy metal toxicity from his body. Alex started chelation in September 2007. He responded immediately in a positive way. I’ve had school personnel amazed at how he’s become so socially engaged, animated, funny – just enjoying his life finally. A few people even said “I knew he’d outgrow it.” Outgrow autism? Wouldn’t that be wonderful if all children could outgrow autism? The problem is that some kids didn’t have autism at all. They have mercury poisoning/heavy metal toxicity. He continues chelation therapy today.

Before I opted for chelation, I tried every other possible treatment. Tens of thousands of dollars later, it was a regiment of DMSA suppositories that did what no social skills group could do, removed the toxicity from his body and he’s slowly thriving again.

I know all physicians take The Hippocratic Oath when they graduate from medical school. In that oath, there’s a statement: To practice and prescribe to the best of my ability for the good of my patients, and to try to avoid harming them.

Having said that, I urge you to attend a free talk on Friday, June 27, 2008 Northeastern University. David Kirby, author of “Evidence of Harm, Mercury in Vaccines and the Autism Epidemic: A Medical Controversy'' will be speaking. David has done endless research into this controversial issue.

“I sincerely encourage any and all vaccine-autism skeptics, critics, agnostics and cynics living in the northeastern US to please consider attending one of these talks, armed with all of your most pointed, difficult and critical questions.” David Kirby

I’m hopeful that you weren’t aware of the toxicity in my son’s shots but I think it’s time we end this debate and help our kids get better. I wonder how many kids are out there could benefit like my son from chelation therapy. He’s not completely recovered yet, but he’s doing better than he ever has in his life.

Dr. XXXXX, you are highly regarded in the medical community and I encourage you and the other physicians and nurses in your office to attend this informative free lecture to show your commitment to our kids. The current vaccine schedule is not safe for all children, mine was one of them. We must find a way to correct this and determine who the susceptible children are. The truth is, mercury is still in some vaccines and some mercury free vaccines trigger autoimmune disorders in the children. We need to find out how to identify these kids so no more harm is done.

I’m enjoying Alex and I want every mother to have their child look them in the eye with a sparkle in it, not a blank stare. Diet, biomedical interventions and chelation work with thousands of children everyday.

I would be encouraged if I saw you and your colleagues at this informative free lecture. I’ve attached a flyer on the talk and also an article written by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

Best regards,

Kathy
