Mercury Detoxification Evaluation Form

We are very interested in receiving comments and observations from parents of autistic children on the effects of the mercury detoxification process. Please complete this form just before the child is started on the detoxification program. Complete follow-up reports monthly during the treatment. Findings will be reported on our web site and in the Autism Research Review. If you would like a hard copy of the evaluation form, click here to download an Adobe Acrobat file (pdf). You may track your child's improvement by entering the report every month on this web site, which will immediately give you your child's score.
