• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Someone called to tell me about Chelation Therapy the other day. I guess you would have the blood tested for harmful toxins and then they would do the therapy to clean the system. Supposedly it has worked for some. I guess they were thinking about toxins like mercury and iron.

My oldest daughter, Quinlan, has Autism. She is nearly 6 now and was diagnosed when she was 2. She is high functioning. Her biggest problem is her language. She is at about a 2 year level in her comprehension and speech.

I guess what I was thinking was - when I was pregnant with Quinlan I had to have iron shots because my iron was low. Maybe that could have affected her. I am taking her to the pediatrician next week. So I am going to ask him what he thinks.

I'm really confused...to much iron doesn't cause problems like autism.

Iron aides the body in making hemoglobin...so if you had injections while pregnant, the iron would have aided your body in getting oxygen to your womb and other tissues in your body. If you overdosed it could cause diabetes, liver damage or skin discoloration....

Now...mercury is a different story...some of the symptoms do mirror that of autism that is why there is so much discussion on the link between the two...(I'm not going to get into this discussion :) )

I'm very glad that you are checking with your Dr first...make sure you do your research before you do anything.
