Also, could have been. Epsom salts, B12 or low dose naltrexone, amongst other

things.

I have not seen this show. Just out of curiosity, was there any mention of which chelator(s) was/were used with Josh Shoemaker? It is interesting to note that the FDA/CDC were issuing their warning about the use of Endrate as a chelator for lead poisoning and/or autism right around this same time, when Endrate is NOT EVEN a chelator that is used in treating lead poisoning....more about that later.

Some parents say chelation is bringing about dramatic change, but it is also bringing about controversy. Josh Shoemaker, almost 4, is not his old self, his

parents are happy to say. Angie Shoemaker, Josh's mom, says, "It's just not even comparable. He's just not the same child." Josh was diagnosed with autism a year ago. His parents say Josh barely spoke, rarely responded and had slid into his own world as was captured in home video from June. His father, , said, "He used to spin himself in circles constantly, we were losing him daily." But within five

months, Josh was talking and responsive. The Shoemakers credit a treatment called chelation, outlined in a recent edition of Mothering Magazine. Josh's parents spread a sulfur-based cream on his skin, a compound that they and doctors who prescribe it say roots out toxins like mercury from the body, which they blame for Josh's autism. Dr. Phil De Meio believes in chelation therapy for autism. "The sulfur grabs onto the mercury like a magnet, so our body can exrete it where it would never have the ability to do that on its own without something like this," De Meio said. There is far from consensus about what causes autism, NBC11's Hart reported. Most doctors see no place for chelation and dealing with it. Two years ago, the Centers for Disease Control commissioned a report that found no evidence of a mercury-autism link. Mercury's other effects on children are a concern, however. The Food and Drug Administration warns pregnant women to avoid certain fish and has had a mercury ingredient removed from most vaccines. But can chelation, a treatment big insurers cover for mercury poisoning, help against autism? One pediatrician cautioned that Josh's progress, though dramatic, is not proof. "Why is he improved? I don't know. Would he (have) improved on his own? I don't know. But as of now, mercury is not a cause of autism based on the studies we know now the chelation is now an acceptable form of treatment for autism." Josh's parents and speech therapist say it is proof to them that it works. "Josh is the only child I've ever worked with that I can say he's going to go to kindergarten being a perfectly normal kindergartner, and he was not a perfectly normal 2-year-old and it's chelation that did it," McCloskey said. His mother, Angie, agrees. "It is like he went from his world into

ours." His parents are convinced that they found the solution for him. Chelation is FDA approved only to treat lead poisoning. Federal researchers are looking into whether it can help heart patients by draining calcium from clogged arteries.

That's McCandless, MD, author of Starving Brains.

Autism_LDN is the group.

By the way, on sulfurstories, Epsom Salt (Mg SO4) has been used successfully

transdermally/topically also. It was very helpful for decades for my late

son.

I also lurk on low dose naltrexone most of the posters have striking results

in dealing with MS and some ALS.

You might want to lurk on that list. It *should* fascinate you. By

taking very low dose naltrexone before bedtime you briefly deprive the

body of opiates (blocking them) and the body creates a compensatory

I think that LDN was high on 's list of things to talk to Dr. Enlander

about, too. I do not recall that had actually started on LDN.

Dr Enlander and his nurse, Joy, post here from time to time.

But LDN is not sulfur based.

Hi, Jill.

Yes, I do lurk on that list. It's very interesting. I heard Dr.

McCandliss speak at the DAN! conference. My plate is rather full

right now trying to sort out the methylation-related stuff, but some

day I hope to study that some, too.

Chelation cures many autistic children.

There are innumerable reports of progress to be found on the

autism treatment list on !

I've seen the cured kids, too, and the autism research institute sells

a DVD of some of them.

> DMSA/

Actually the vast majority of children who get well take DMSA, DMPS or

ALA by mouth and are using formulations that do not contain any

glutathone.

The faddish transdermal stuff sometimes does but that is as a

stabilizer for the DMPS or DMSA since they are not otherwise stable

against air oxidation. The amount of glutathione that gets absorbed is

not significant.

mjh and all,

Yes, he had been using it, and stopped mid-October, thinking he wanted to

see how he did on recup alone. He said it had helped him in various ways. It

was that stopping that caused the effects that he had in the middle of the

night since it is usually taken at bedtime. He also did say he discussed it

with Dr. Enlander.

Cool. It's the shift of Th2 and Th1, mediated by endogenous opiates,

its kind of interesting.

But I'm leery of it for myself.
