Is slow growth related to mercury poisoning?   Message List

Re: [Autism-Mercury] Is slow growth related to mercury poisoning?

This seems to be a common pattern on this list. My husband was reminding me
that this also happened to my son when he was a baby. He is probably shorter
than what he would have been--his 14-year old brother is taller than he is.
He seems to be outgrowing his pants (waist) lately, and we have been
chelating for awhile . . . Hmmmm??
