This is so very tragic and sad. I was asked to take this push challenge with DMPS in the beginning of discovering I was mercury toxic but I was too weak to handle taking most herbs, much less have this test done. After reading more about it, I became aware of how dangerous it can be for adults, much less children. My 2 year old son has not been diagnosed as Autistic but he does show many of the symptoms of Autism/Mercury Poisoning. I have been giving him the Mercury I magnetic clay baths every week or every other week and he has shown some improvement from them. They seem to have a calming affect on him right after each bath and he also gets a full nights rest when he as them.
