Guest guest Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 Hi Jane Hi, have just joined group so not really sure how it all works yet! I have a 7 year old son with Asperger's Syndrome and Dyspraxia who has been gf/cf and additive free for nearly 3 years with very good results. >>>Excellent - good work! I recently discovered the generation rescue website and have been quite persuaded by the mercury link theory. I'm currently thinking about trying chelation therapy but am not too sure what's involved. >>>Same place we have all been............. Any advice about what to ask for, what to expect, how long before results (probably different for every child), how expensive it is and whether you still get good results with Asperger's children. >>>Its a long process - minimum two years in my opinion, likely more. Its not something that can be done quickly in a safe manner. Slowly and safely is the way to go. Results can be almost immediate with some kids, others take several months to see stuff. Expense depends on how you go about it, whether Dr involved, amount of tests you do and what chelating agrent you use. Price can range from £50 per month (includes supps and chelator) to £200 or more depneding on support supps, test etc. Trandermal DMPS is most expensive Any personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Apologies if this is already posted on the site somewhere but I haven't really found my way round everything yet and I'm a bit of a chat room virgin! >>>There are quite a few under the Testomonials at Generation Rescue including s in Age 8 catagory. You can see regressions from yeast and gut bugs during chelation but these can usually be managed. Keeping minerals levels up and antioxidants frequent is essential. There are video's free here www.danwebcast.com www.autismmedia.org HTH, keep asking questions Mandi in Dorset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Hi Mandi Thank you so much for your very encouraging reply Since My first post, I have been looking into chelation therapy a bit more and, liking what I hear, have made an appointment to see Dr Heard next month. I'm sure I'll be back after that with a few more questions! Thanks again, Jane x > Hi Jane > > Hi, have just joined group so not really sure how it all works yet!

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Hi, Sorry it has been a long time since I posted, the health issues from my giant cell arteritis being the main eason. This is not about me for a change however. My brother had a cardiac arrest some years ago due to thyroid storm. Treatment ever since has been the standard Lovothyroxine (synthetic) at 250 mg a day, he has continued to gain weight, be generally ill and have all the symptoms of underactive thyroid gland even though the tft is coming back with the results showing as ok. I have been trying to get through to him all this time that he needs to get the other blood tests done and tried explaining the whole T4 T3 etc thing to him in depth but he has continued to say the doctors must be right. He has now had another cardiac arrest and I am convinced this is because he is not receiving the right treatment, almost certain he is not converting to T3 in fact. Would anyone agree with this so far? Also the doctor prescribed him with Propranolol, which I was told I can't have because of my own thyroid condition (under control with Erfa thyroid), and he is asthmatic too which means he shouldn't be prescribed it. I am now so concerned that I want to call the hospital and give them the information I have but I wan tto be sure of my facts which is why I am asking for your help. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. Lynne UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
