Hi Everybody,  

It seems that are lot of disease's and illness's that has the added effects of sound sensitivitys and hearing loss. I've been reading many different stories from many people on this and came across this one..

New link.. The web site has moved recently..

http://www.pinkdisease.org/

Not active below as big pond... Sorry..

But all the info listed is still on that site...

http://www.users.bigpond.com/difarnsworth/merc-poison.htm

http://www.users.bigpond.com/difarnsworth/whatisPD.htm

Not pink noise which is healing and help's with hyperacusis and sound sensitivitys whatever may have have caused them..

And with pink noise there is white noise, brown noise, blue noise I even heard of an orange noise on a web long ago..

http://www.ee.columbia.edu/~dpwe/noise/  played some of theses colorfull noises..

But on this site 81.41 says they are sensitive to noise.. And ear problems 54.24 say yes. 17.20 say sometimes and 7.01 say allways..

I just never have heard of pink disease before and I'm glad its pretty rare now but they believe that almagrams may be the next pink disease of the future as they are getting alot of almagram people contacting them.. 

It was just an interesting site and how so much information dental almagrams,  mercury in the enviroment, things that may contain mercury, getting mercury out of the body, vitamins and minerals, the diet, vitamin D about homoeopathy, acupuncture, flu injection time, about the adrenal gland's...

And it had links to many sites on health and care for highly sensitive people.   

I just didn't know such a condition ever existed.

It's just something... just something to think about when one has highly sensitive ears in the first place what may be toxic to the ears and hearing besides medication ect.... What to avoid exposure too.

What may help..  

Plus to know where we have come from and never forget the past leds to better choices for our healths and lives in our future..

And inflammation and pain of the peripheral nerves.. What ever can cause something like that we want to avoid .

Pink disease is just something I never hear of before has anybody else ever heard of it ?

I'm glad it's rare now though the causes of it are not.. It was just fascanating reading and it truely did exist..

I know mercury is highly toxic to the ears.. It cause abnormality sound sensitivitys and all sorts of problems with the hearing..

It's best to keep any exposure to a low one.. And the flu shot contains mercury its just not good for the ears..

Tommorrow they will be marching " Moms and Dad and people that care " for getting it out so it will not cause health problems for the future.

Education is the key to better health and longer lasting sensory health..  

Lots of us love the color pink on this network . But not this pink . Hopefully this will never happen again..

Ok, 

I found the search the medical dictionary  on the better hearing medical terms and tools. It takes you to Medlexicon and you can search by Acronym and abbreviation and it came up with Hyperacusis the data demonstrates that dysacusis that took me to Peb Med with 1 - 152 things to look at which I went back to seach dictionary.

Search the medical term hyperacusia auditory hyperesthesin index sensory neural mechanism abnormal acuteness of hearing due to increased irritability of the sensory neural mechanism..  

O.k...

I think I'll rest from that site for awhile and go back to it later.. Theres just to much information on there for one visit... 

Untill Then.........

The Right To Search For Truth also implies...

A duty one must not conceal any part of what one has reconized to be the truth...

Hi Everybody,

Remember I said above I think there was orange noise too. Haven't looked it up in a long time but now I remember there are lots of colorfull noise's in the spectrum of white..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colors_of_noise

Lots of us old timers have been there.. This is for the new.

Color your world with a mulitude of noises..

Some you'll like. Some you won't...  

------------------------------------------------------------------------

This just came in.. I have been researching on heavy metals and ear disease and abnormality sound sensitivites hearing loss deafness ect...

Because it is proven that heavy metals can cause theses problems..

Cause problems in the brain.. The Auditory System..

And I hit on this research because of my problems with my ears and what I am faceing at home with my autistic children which opened up a whole new world of research for me.. Just by being here.... And learning from others...

My hyperacusis.. Their autism and hypo and hyper hearing problems they have had.. And then I stumbled on this... And I now what tests have found in their blood as well... The results are in... Now I'm a believer....

Heavy metals may be implicated in autism

Hi Leah,

It use to be as you know that the food we ate contained all we needed as we grew it on the farms in our backyards. But now they pick it early in some cases,  store it, ship it, process it, and its not the same food..

Its not the same by the time we get it and the body needs it and we all are the mineral's and substences it contains.. we are the soil and the soil is us.. 

It stands to reason if we are not getting it, our body lacks it and it could cause things not to function properly and even cause damage by not haveing it in the long run...

And in hyperacusis even tinnitus. We need all the nerves functioning as best as possible.

Lots of people don't think about that.

That health is separate then sickness.

That certain substances can make us sick..

As well as a lack of.

But they go together as our bodies work together in healing as one..

Lots of people don't think about that. What they need to sustain life. But they should..

You are what you eat among other things.. If your body doesn't get what it needs and its depleated. It stands to reason that one would suffer..

But you read up on all theses things so you know about all that allready..

But lots of people are suprised about that... 

Its like an engine running on empty..

You know how far that will take a person..  

But you allready know about that HUH Leah  

Not everybody does....

If you can grow it in your yard fresh like my society garlic plants.. Its a good thing to do.. And I love tomatoes.. Fresh ones not green one's barely red almost waxy and pink from the store.

I hear they wax some fruits and vege's to make them look good. But is that really good for us..

Hi llh,

I'm eventually going to get back to this thread but untill then.. I brought up on the Flu thread about pink disease and I don't know if you have read about this happening from the past...

And the percentage of them that have problems with their hearing... 

I read your concerns and I have them as well.

I just wonder what the future behold's. 

But untill then..  Mercury is a potent neurotoxin that can cause noise sensitivitys and hearing problems and thats a documented fact...

We don't need any problems on top of the ones we have now..

Here is the truth behind......

PARENTS SWARMING CAPITOL HILL WITH PHONES CALLS; CHILDREN’S RIGHTS ARE ON THE LINE

PHARMA-FRIENDLY POLITICIANS THREATEN TO STEAL AWAY CHILDREN’S RIGHTS WITH MULTIPLE BILLS

WASHINGTON DC – Advocacy organizations kicked off a new campaign today that promises to over-load Capitol Hill’s phone lines.

The Power of Parents Call-in Campaign hopes to stop pharma-friendly legislation in its tracks. For years, politicians like Senator Bill Frist and Judd Gregg have routinely inserted language that removes liability from vaccine-makers, which ultimately eases safety guidelines and dismisses injuries some children suffer from vaccines.

In 2002, an anonymous party inserted the now-famous secret rider to the Homeland Security bill, a provision that gave Eli Lilly and vaccine manufacturers liability protection from a toxin used in vaccines. The rider was later repealed.

But sources in Washington say that the liability language is back and fiercer than ever. Over ten pieces of legislation now contain liability-protection language that will slam the door on children injured by vaccines. Some language is expected to enter the appropriations committee. If it passes, the language cannot be removed.

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Advocacy Groups Urge CDC Advisory Committee To Remove Mercury from Vaccines

Children’s health advocates again ask government officials to make good on repeated promises of mercury-free vaccines

Atlanta, GA -- A prominent ad in today’s Atlanta Journal-Constitution sponsored by parents and friends of children injured by mercury in vaccines demands that a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advisory committee require complete removal of mercury from vaccines.  The ad’s sponsors note that according to Environmental Protection Agency guidelines, a person must weigh over 500 pounds to safely absorb the amount of mercury contained in a single flu vaccine and that special hazardous waste sites are required for flu shot disposal.

To develop national vaccine guidelines, the CDC follows the advice of the 15-member Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) (www.cdc.gov/nip/ACIP/members.htm).  To date, ACIP has refused to fulfill promises made by the government, physician organizations, and President Bush to remove thimerosal from all vaccines.  “Mercury should never have been in vaccines in the first place.  The fact that it remains in vaccines seven years after explicit promises were made to take it out amounts to government footdragging that puts children at serious risk of injury,“ according to Vicky Debold, PhD, public health nurse and mother of a vaccine-injured child.

A growing number of scientists are finding that the type of low-dose mercury in vaccines kills and injures brain and immune cells.   “Considering that so many children now suffer from learning disabilities and a host of immune-mediated illnesses such as asthma and diabetes, the practice of injecting mercury into our nation’s most vulnerable is barbaric,” said Dr. Debold.

The ad also points out that most flu shots and some other vaccines contain 50,000 parts per billion mercury, despite requirements that landfill waste contain less than 200 parts per billion. “Directly injecting humans with a powerful neurotoxin flies in the face of common sense. With growing research from leading universities further confirming the neurotoxic effects of mercury exposure from vaccines, the ACIP must consider the best interests of our children and put an end to this dangerous and unnecessary exposure,” commented Dr.. Debold.

The public is urged to contact Julie Gerberding, MD, Director of the CDC (404-639-3311) and Mike Leavitt, Secretary of Health and Human Services (202-619-0257) to request that they direct the ACIP to recommend removal of all remaining mercury in vaccines.

Hi Liam,

Thats interesting.. I've been doing alot of research on autism of what they have found in their brain's expecially with their neuron's that didn't develope right and make the connections and of what's missing with this developmental disorder.

I did read a site that I mentioned that mentioned inflammed brains..

It's just so interesting to read up on theses subjects...

So it was thru a relative listening to an interview on autism that got you onto the right track with your severe H and T..

I can't remember exactly how you came down with hyperacusis.. I'm sorry.. I have to read some of you're old post's again as I know they go way back..

But how did they know you had brain swelling.. Did you have a cat scan or what test's did they do on you..

Do you have another condition on top of hyperacusis like autism or simular that may have contributed to your hyperacusis disorder..

I remember you mentioning a sensory disorder. Forgive me if I have this wrong but it's been awhile since I read up on it... 

I haven't heard that brain swelling is common with hyperacusis from anyone else so I just don't know if it is or not.. I'm just not sure...

But I believe their probably is nerve swelling the seventh nerve branch " efferent nerve " from the trauma or even from a medication or an illness that may have caused hyperacusis..

And maybe also muscle malfunction as with the tensor and maybe stapedial because of the nerves malfunctioning as nerves are connected to muscles and send signals..  From and to the brain...

And as muscle attach to bone maybe pulling on the staples 3 bones in their as well and causeing havock. Just things all going wacky from nerve trauma or nerve signals " malfunction".

Causeing all the spasming, poping, booming, rumbling and other features of hyperacusis..

And nerves can be inflammed as well. And I think Marsha said something about her believeing in or about an inflammation reaction or  hyperacusis being an inflamation response..

I can't remember exactly how she put it.. I would have to go back and read her exact words on the inflammation aspect..

But I did read before about how others believe that brain inflammation with autism was caused by the trigger and the trigger they believe was toxins or mercury that they believed caused the interupted development in the brain while causeing the inflammation in the brain and gut " stomach "..

Thats why they want to change their " my Kids " diets.. It's like the brain gut response.. Interesting... But my kids are such picky eater's and one is worse then the other...

But I remember when I had bad hyperacusis my head felt like it was vibrating with sound and ready to explode.. Like my bones were conducting and vibrating with sounds and picking up on sounds.. Like one big antenna....

Hyperacusis really sucks to have..

I'm so glad I'm not expirenceing that today.. Though I would not call myself cured.. Just over the worst... It was a terrible expirence to go thru...

I'm glad I could get better.. Just the thought of liveing like that.. Made me cry..

Take Care Liam...

Hi Liam,

Yes.. I remember now.. You brought that up before.. I just read this site or this list on it.. http://synaesthesia.fws1.com/main.html I got to go back and read more because I only glanced thru it... 

But my severe daughter is left handed... And sometimes.. Ambidextrous...

Synaesthetes are far more likely then the general population to have ADD/ADHD/ " perfectionistic "...

which I've had pointed out to me by my other family members to be sometimes... like with..

Spots in glass's and cup's and plates after it's been washed... and just being so picky and all..

We all have our personality traits to contend with.... And theirs alot of evidence pointing to a greatly increased incidence of Autism, Edictic Memory, Prosopagnosia..

I got to look that word up..  My severe daughter has severe sensory needs and needs to be placed on a sensory diet and their are times she doesn't like to be touched.. She use to alot when she was real little. But then that changed..

My other daughter didn't want to be held or touched when she was real little now she's my huggy one..

It talks about being generally as social as the next person but usually solitary people " Expecially if we have other associated neurological disorder " so we can't help but feel isolated..

O.K..  I see.. It must be real hard for you haveing this condition on top of hyperacusis..  Thats like sensory on top of sensory.. WOW.. That's like an autistic child haveing hyperacusis..

Not just sound sensitivity or other sensitivitys that can come with being autistic on the spectrum.... some autistic's more then others..

And as autism is on a spectrum.. I can just imagine how terrible it would be for a severe sensory autistic child or person to have hyperacusis disorder on top of that..

Double whammy.. What a challenge.. Wow... The condition seems to be rare though I can't remember what the site said in numbers..

I got to go back and read.. I know as a child I did not have any loudness disorder but I was a sensitive child as I could hear and sense things better then other's who could tune more out..

But it wasen't hyperacusis.. It was just being more not centered or just more of a live wire or emotional sensitive.. It could be more of a personality trait..

But hyperacusis seem to toughen me up more.. I had to learn to tune things out more for survival.. Hyperacusis can make one a live wire in itself..   

Interesting.. I got to go back and read more.....  

Hi Liam,

So your specialist's thought it might have been a lengthy medication overdose that may have caused your hyperacusis.. Though they are not positive..

I am extremely sensitive to medications myself..

I took that Paxil 6 full dose days to long and got some real bad symptoms from it.

And it's so odd but true.. 3 days on that antibiotic caused the thudding in my ears to happen.. Now that I know what a symptom like that could be.. Myoclonus..

It seems like it caused my booming, thumping, rumbling problem in my ears to come about.. Mostly left.. Starting with the first symptoms. The thudding..

My daughter has been diagnoised with this problem " medication sensitivity reaction " as well.

I forgot what it's called but I wrote about what the doctor at the regional center called it long time ago.. And the doctor said she probably got that low doser thing from me..

She's a medication reactor so she's not on any at this time.. And I found a new site..

http://www.stoppicking.com/PsycTech/Program/StopPicking/Public/HomePage.aspx

My high functioning daughter likes to pick her skin.. She was picking her belly button raw and picking at her forehead.. Where ever she feels something I guess to pick at.. We have to put bandaids over it so she won't pick it raw and get scars..

I didn't know there was a site for people who do this.. I mean she doesn't pull at her hair.. My other daughter use to but doesn't anymore.. And she is not as bad I guess as some others with this problem can be..

But she has chapped lips because she has a compulsive lip sucking problem.. It's like she feels a skin condition comeing and it bothers her and she can't stop messing with it..

So I use chap stick and have to figure out a way to get her to do something else when she has the urge to pick or mess with her lip.. Maybe pick at a guitar or do something with her hands..

I need to read that site as I didn't know anybody else did this.. I wonder if it's a part of autism or just something else.. Maybe stress. I just don't know.. But she's a picky perfectionist like me..

Except I don't do that.. The picking habit....

I know there is nothing wrong with being left handed nor amidextrous.. It just my daughter is... 

It's just after I glanced thru that site.. It just seemed like my other " severe " daughter could fit in a way that I think she feels things intensely and hears things too because she does not like the vacuum when I turn it on..

She gets highly fussy and run's from it.. Some sounds and stimula do make her fussy like she's complaining about it.. And she can focus in for along time at a picture or piece of paper or object like ..she's thinking about it... she's highly interested in it..  

And she has high sensory needs as her OT at school told me.. But I really don't know how my severe daughter expirences things..

She can't tell me.. She only has simple speak..

But there are so many disorders out there.. It's hard to find normal anymore..

I guess they define normal as not haveing any problems at all. But most people do have disorders and problems..

And the more I search the web.. The more disorders I find that are out there..

But the sensitive I was talking about was...

I do with my sensitive nature pick on on what others may be feeling or thinking.. I have felt intermingled that way with people all my life..

But I don't have or go beyond that to feeling numbers or colors or thing such as that.. Just highly attuned where sometimes I feel or pick up on the emotions and thoughts of others..

I think it's more a developed skill.. Maybe from thinking to deeply about things.. To where I focus in on things like that.. But what is normal..

I believe most people aren't totally normal like the definition of normal..

We all seem to have something and our own individual personalitys...

We all have different finger prints..

And thats normal.          

Why am I so adament about whats contained within the flu shots.......

For this reason....

The battle against the use of mercury in medicine has mainly taken place in the last 50 years. It was banned from teething powders in the late 1950’s, from most contact lens products by the late 1980’s, and mercury in the form of thimerosal has been removed from many injections only recently

And its still in the Flu shots and other vaccinations at this time....

It wasen't the teething powder that was the problem..Or the contact lens products.. Or the other medications that mercury has been removed from use over the years...

It was what was contained within theses products that caused problems..

So all they need to do is take out any harmfull to humans byproducts contained within..

And the only reason they took it out in the first place because  others spoke out for the removal and educated the public...

Look at all the harm done.. It's apparent... Though all children did not come down with pink disease or what I believe triggered autism..

I read that ....I think it was her brother ....of the person that got pink disease that runs that support board..... 

Thou he did not come down with pink disease as a child... he came down eventually with an auto immune disease..

As I believe in the spectrum of harm. From learning disabled to ADD ADHD to severe Autism .. And other proven harmfull effects from mercury and lead that are not only on the spectrum of autism..

But thats not the only reason.... 

But on the pink disease site....

81.41 says they are sensitive to noise.. And ear problems 54.24 say yes. 17.20 say sometimes and 7.01 say allways..

But heres good news thou......

Mercury in Air Pollution: A Link to Autism?

More Autism Seen in Texas Counties With Most Mercury Pollution

http://www.webmd.com/content/Article/102/106662.htm?z=3734_00000_1000_qd_01

------------------------------------------------------------------------

As mercury is linked to abnormal sound sensitivitys and hearing loss and deafness and auditory processing disorders as in hypo and hyper hearing I've learned from all the research I have been doing...

What does that tell us ?????

Something needs to be done.. This a good site and I have seen the studies before on states like Texas counties with the most mercury pollution and that also can go for the Eastern states as well about  the mercury exposure..

But in California.. Since they lowered the mercury content in lots of vaccinations we have seen a decrease in autism as well.

Even thou California doesn't have as much or all the coal burning power plants out here thou I'm sure we have mercury content in our air as well.

Which would make for a decrease but with the mercury in the air and the more coal burning and other stuff we add.

Will stop this decline.. Audio processing disorders.. Hum.....

I was watching a lady Dr on T.V. from the listening center.. 

The listeningcenter.net  who said that.. There are people and children that are diagnoised with ADD or ADHD that may actually have audio processing disorder instead of that diagnoise..

Mercury is not really something we need to have in our bodies besides all the other chemical we absorb in like flame retardent ect...

So whats next.. I think of the pink dieases babies.. It wasen't mercury remember..

And that was stated from the highest sources and they were totally wrong...

And yet.. All this time.. It was...

So I do not believe .. mercury helps us with anything good...

And the symptoms it can cause with exposure is worth takeing note of..

--------------------------------------------------------------------- 

And what do you think the next big breakthrough might be?  This is a question we have asked a number of people and we have had very interesting answers.

OK, right when you say breakthrough I think there are areas where we have not covered that must be covered in the new millennium.  First of all the repetitive behavior is of special interest. We recognized it from day one but we have no idea why and how. 

Secondly the sensory perception, the hyperacusis, the tactile defence system which really does impact on the lives of such individuals and yet we do not know physiologically what is going on; we are very much in the dark to what to do. I also suspect the next big breakthrough will be in movement disorders in the autistic spectrum, from Tourette’s disorder to catatonia and we will recognize that some of these kids do have recognizable movement disorder. Finally, I think the new neuroimaging techniques which show which areas of the brain are switched off may well lead to medication which eventually switches them on.  I think that is extremely promising.

Hearing Voices ???

Crazy or suffering from hyperacusis... ??????

With Autism....

Note that autism, schizophrenia, epilepsy, etc. have all been associated with hyperacusis and that indeed, certain drugs such as antidepressants, antipsychotics, anesthetics, or recreational drugs can all trigger hypersensitivity to sounds (http://www.audiologyonline.com/articles/arc_disp.asp?id=529&catid=6).  

http://www.autismhelpforyou.com/Hearing%20Voices.htm

Also... Just in thought..........................  ((( Smiles ))))

I was reading in Dr Jastreboff's book TRT Implementing the Neurophysiological Model....

In the glossary.. Neuron... The morphological and functional unit of the nervous system. A neuron comprises a nerve cell body , short radiating process called dendrites and one long process called the axon. The axon plus it's covering or sheath in the nerve fiber. Syn: Nerve cell....

And then I read in the Glossary of his book...

Lyme Disease .. A chronic  infection transmitted by the animal tick Borrelia burgdorferi, which effects the nervous system among other effects. Hyperacusis is frequently one of the symptoms. Lyme disease is treatable with large doses of antibiotics....

Also I read on page 227 .. The issue of how tinnitus- related neuronal activity is processed within the nervous system is basically still open....

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Neurons are an interesting thing.. The dendrites..

I have this newspaper articule if I can find it from months ago. I know It stashed it somewhere but it was based on research on what mercury does to the neurons in explanation in research and that word ... dendrites was in that articule.. 

It's just a facanating subject..

Hypercusis.. besides just being noise related can be caused or trigged by other things as well ... we allready know that....

It's just to early into research to rule everything out as a possible backdoor cause in some people....

That may effect the nervous system nerve cells in action...

And that has been shown to effect the hearing in many ways allready.. 

Thats why some of Marsha posts on certain subjects over the years I've read with high interest..  Inflammation.. Interesting...

I think keeping an open mind into research and future finds is how many problems are solved for many different people over time...

As there are many other pathways to hyperacusis disorder besides the norm... Research opens up doors.. No matter where it may lead...

But people dared to think....

Thats why doctors started washing their hands during invasive percedures.. Others poop pooed that kind of thinking away as bizarre but they dared to think..

Out of the box.. Out of the norm.. It saved lives....

http://www.mercola.com/2003/dec/27/toxic_metals.htm

But I wonder if that mainly happen's with the involvment of the cranial nerves... Problems that may lead to tinnitus ect....

Need to read up more in that area....

Oh good.. The site is still there.. It's been awhile since I been there

Just checking............

PINK DISEASE is babyhood mercury poisoning. Some babies are hyper-sensitive to mercury, and if those babies are exposed to mercury, they get Pink Disease. The most commonly used product containing mercury WAS teething powder, but other products frequently used on babies also contained mercury.

Pink Disease is also known as acrodynia, Erythoedema, Feer's Disease, Swift's Disease, and infantile Mercury (Hg) poisoning.

BRONCHIECTASIS is a chronic lung disorder.

It is generally caused by an infection such as whooping cough, Pink Disease, pneumonia, measles, tuberculosis or cancer. The infection causes obstruction of the bronchi resulting in lung secretions accumulating and weakening the walls of the bronchi which dilate.

Mercury is a metal that is commonly found in the environment in several forms, all of which are toxic. Depending on its exact chemical form and the dose received, people and wildlife exposed to mercury can suffer serious and deadly health problems

Mercury is Not Vitamin M......................................

The research at the University of Calgary is conclusive. Mercury is not Vitamin M. It prevents the nerve growth cone from advancing leaving nerve ending stripped and degenerating, and causes nerve cell death or apoptosis..

Oh thats it... that must be it...

I don't know were I posted that.. but I said some genes are missing and I don't know how that happened.. The ones that process mercury I can't remember the name know it starts with a G ..  Glutatholine... Thats it...

We've been talking about it I think it was on Matias thread. Good for the ears to take. GAD I think it was.. We were talking about...

The doctor said thats commonly seen in alot of child with autism and I was thinking how could something like that possibly happen to her..

With Mercury Exposure... As thats what I believe happened to her with the vaccines and flu shots and maybe the mercury fillings I have in my teeth while pregnant.. Ect....

For me this fits.... 

Then I read this...

U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

Methylmercury [CH₃Hg] is the most toxic form. It affects the immune system, alters genetic and enzyme systems, and damages the nervous system, including coordination and the senses of touch, taste, and sight.

Science and wierd news....

What causes hyperacusis? Nobody knows. It can be brought on by, among other things, head injuries, exposure to extremely loud sounds, Lyme disease and autism. It has also been linked with tinnitus, a disorder that causes people to hear phantom sounds, such as ringing or buzzing. The main question puzzling researchers is whether it's the result of structural damage to the ear or flaws in the way the brain interprets sound signals. The disorder has not been well studied, partly because it is often misdiagnosed as a psychological problem. Sufferers tend to isolate themselves to avoid noise, be unable to hold down a job, avoid social interaction and suffer anxiety attacks - symptoms easily mistaken for a mental disorder.

Oh... They have moved to a new web site address...

The Pink Disease support board... The link above on that pink disease site no longer is active... I didn't know that for I have not been there for awhile...

Sorry..

An information gathering exercise by the Pink Disease Support Group has revealed a higher than average incidence auto-immune disorders, Bronchiectasis, Solar Urticaria, chemical sensitivities, allergies, eye and mouth problems, infertility, co-ordination difficulties, poor health, and a proneness to emotional and psychiatric disorders.

Also on that site how to get mercury out...

There are a number of different methods for removing mercury from the body. These include medical chelation via the use of prescribed drugs; the use of vitamins, minerals and nutrients; dietary means; homoeopathy; and amalgam removal..

Plus....

Baffled doctors put forward all sorts of theories as to its cause, from light sensitivities, allergies, viruses, nutritional deficiencies and infectious agents. The story behind the discovery of the cause of Pink Disease and the banning of the teething powders is one of the great medical detective stories of all time.

Plus....

Not all cases of Pink Disease are caused by teething powders; some babies were too young to have been teething and received the mercury in other forms, from the mother's diet to environmental factors.

Plus....

I've been to doctors for many complaints over the years and they've never told me that Pink Disease in fact is mercury poisoning...

Plus....

One of the reasons why there were so many theories about what caused Pink Disease was that the symptoms of the disease were so diverse and were similar to the symptoms that could be caused by various infections, vitamin deficiencies, poisoning and so forth.

Plus....

Mercury was in very common use for medicinal purposes up until the 1850's and it's been suggested that if any doctor had seen a baby with Pink Disease up until that time, they would have recognised the symptoms of mercury poisoning immediately because the symptoms of mercury poisoning were well known then.

Plus....

Dr. H. Swift, of Adelaide, first recognised Pink Disease when he was a physician at Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital in London in 1885 and he described the disease at the Australasian Medical Congress in 1914, calling it "erythroedema".

Plus....

The symptoms of Pink Disease were well described by the early 1920's so the search for the cause began in earnest.

Plus.....

The most common KNOWN cause of Pink Disease was mercury containing teething powders. In the English speaking Western World, the use of mercury in teething powders was banned in the 1950's. There were, and still are, numerous other household, industrial, natural, agricultural and medical sources of mercury in the environment.

Plus....

The breakthrough was published in The Lancet in 1949. By 1951 there were many confirmations of exposure to mercury of the sick children, but there were also many sceptics and strong opposition from the manufacturers of the powders.

Also on Pink Disease information from the Pink Disease site.....

It's generally accepted that exposure to mercury was the cause of Pink Disease ALONG with some other predisposing factor, such as hypersensitivity to mercury, a molecular malfunction, immaturity or malfunction of adrenal medulla, or prior illness.

The most common cause of mercury exposure for babies in the English speaking Western World, up until the late 1950's, was from certain brands of teething powders. Teething powders were also known as soothing powders. It is estimated that only 1 in 500 babies given teething powders got Pink Disease.

Pink Disease occurred in older children in Europe because the most common cause was worming preparations containing mercury.

In continental Europe, calomel was used in worming medicine given to children but teething powders were not used; hence the older age of the children afflicted.

The mothers and other care-givers of babies with Pink Disease suffered severe exhaustion from lack of sleep, severe stress and loss of weight. Family life was generally disrupted by the baby's constant crying.

In Britain, doctors were reporting that 61% of children who died were under 1 year of age. The peak danger period seemed to be between six months and two years. Yet in continental Europe, the victims were often older, aged up to 10 years. Southern states in America were more affected than northern states.

Since mercury poisoning can cause blood disorders such as anaemia, another theory was that Pink Disease was caused by a vitamin deficiency - particularly of the B-Group vitamins. This theory was discarded because most the children who had Pink Disease were well fed and well cared for children. Children in countries with a low standard of living, where deficiency diseases were more common, did not get Pink Disease.

Two theories are discussed in "The Causes of Pink Disease". They are Warkany's and Hubbard's mercury theory that relates to what "caused" Pink Disease, and Cheek's and Hicks' theory which relates to the physiology of Pink Disease. Both the theories and methods of studying them had problems but fortunately, fate stepped in and proved that mercury was the catalyst for PD. Unfortunately, this meant that all research into the physiology of the Disease and the long-term side effects virtually ceased.

A major flaw in Dr. Warkany's experimental method was not noticed immediately. In different areas, mercury exposure is different. Some areas used mercury teething powders. Other areas had a lot of mercury because of industrial or agricultural use. Warkany's control group came from Cincinatti where mercury was not freely used and therefore significant levels of mercury in the urine would be unlikely. His Pink Disease samples came from areas where mercury use was common.

Hi Liam, (((( Smiles )))

From what you talked about above...

When I saw this.. I thought of you...

I never new there was a such a thing as this..

Untill you mentioned you have this above..

It hightens the senses..

Must be interesing if not hard to have..

Together with hyperacusis disorder..

You never said or maybe you have but I forget..

How does haveing this effect your hyperacusis..

Sensory wise.. The sense's...

And I wonder how many people with hyperacusis disorder.

Which effects the sensory system in a way..

Have this...

Synesthesia... Expirencing sensations..

Hi Liam, (((( Smiles ))))

I had a teacher like that in elementry school..

I think the first grade... 

She was very punitive to me..

They transferred me out of her class eventually..

But it was because I stop'd speaking in class..

and would not tell her the answer..

Probably because she scared the c---p out of me..

She was scarry....

But when it comes to memory..

It's not getting any better for me..

Thats why I had kids..
