Request for information on chelation

[Guest guest]

Lyn and Woody,

I will give a little background on my son's history first. Evan was born in

August

of 1991. At eight months of age he was exposed to chicken pox less than a week

after vaccinations with Hib, DPT, and OPV. After that he developed severe

allergies

and was constantly sick with ear infections and diarrhea. He developed normally

until 4 years of age when he got his booster DTaP and just two weeks after

roseola

(HHV6). The lot that he received is on the NVICs hot lot list.

He lost muscle strength and tone, appeared deaf at times, was very sensitive to

light,

and although he never quit talking he rarely used language to communicate. He

was

diagnosed with atypical autism two months later. He improved significantly

with a gf/cf diet. He has high titers to HHV6 and varicella. He has low

B-lymphocytes and low suppressor Tcells.

His growth dropped off and gradually over the next two years he developed muscle

and eye issues. His handwriting deteriorated to the point that it was barely

legible.

His EEG showed generalized generalized epileptiform abnormality. It was

beginning

to look like he might have mitochondrial dysfunction.

High doses of zinc helped him to grow again and tons of antioxidants and

B-vitamins helped to restore a more normal energy level. Evan has finished five

rounds of chelation. His urine testing during the therapeutic trial of DMSA

yielded several interesting tidbits: in addition to elevated mercury Evan also

has very high levels of tin and some significant amounts of arsenic & lead.

His urine creatinine was low both pre and post and his urine pH was 8.0.

Overall I am seeing great improvements esp. in apparent mito function.

He has more energy and more stamina. He is actually choosing to play

outside even in the Texas heat.

School started 2 1/2 weeks ago and we have gotten tons of

positive feedback. Evan is much more social and happy. He also is

using figures of speech with much more ease. His conversations seem

much more typical. He has outgrown all of his clothes and his muscle tone

is greatly improved. He can now kneeboard like a real pro (an amazing feat for

an 8 year old who just " graduated " from PT in the Spring). His formal strength

testing has shown good gains in hand strength. He no longer has trouble

maintaining his blood sugar and energy level. He is not eating such huge

amounts

of food, and he is gaining weight.

Have a great day ), Plant
