Sadly our son is already exhibiting additional medical complications from the poison, and maybe even more damaging than the kidney concern. No, it didn’t stop with the kidney. …this process of the toxins going from one organ to another may be endless. Now he is in much greater pain than ever.

We will be returning to the United States in the next few days. Sadly, there may never be help for him, only observation and statistics for someone else.

You can see his story and progress at http://www.JiesWorld.com, a website we started 18 months ago to warn others of the dangers and our dependence on Chinese food products in the U.S. Ironically our own baby has become a casualty, and we were cautious, feeding him only the safest products.

The U.S. Embassy was great to find a “high standard” clinic near the Consulate for diagnosis, but what now?

The symptoms were amazingly varied and really could have been many things. Now we know and it was confirmed today at the clinic.

No one knows “what now”. What will happen to him? What are treatments must he undergo? …no one has tried to kill children before using melamine.

Where do we go for information, answers and direction? We are worried beyond words.

Maybe we can even start manufacturing things again in America so that we don't have to rely on China for all of our goods.
