Would a 13 year old Aspergers Girl benefit from Chelation

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I am wondering if there are families on this discussion board that

have done the chelation process with an Asperger's teenager? Have

there been a noticeable difference in the child after the process?

We have not done the hair and other tests yet to determine if our

daughter has a heavy metal load, but we are considering it. Our

feelings are that if she does, removing it can only make things

better for our daughter. Especially since mecury's effect on the

immune system is there above and beyond the mecury in vital organs

and the brain.

We are concerned with mecury shifting to different areas of the brain

as part of the chelation process that we may see some problem that

she didn't have before. Not having studies showing the safety of

this process for children doesn't make us feel any better.

Any advice and experiences with a teenager with Asperger's would be

appreciated.

Randy,

In my opinion and experience the answer to your question would

absolutely be yes. I started my child at the age of 15 on biomed and

16 on chelation and at 19 this child is so much healthier, happier

and higher functioning having lost most of the issues and diagnosis.

I would be happy to give you more information. You may contact me off

list if you like.

According to our pediatrician, Aspergers is not such a bad thing. In

fact, according to him, a high percentage of mathematicians at

prestigious universities have the disorder. So we should feel

fortunate that our son has some of these characteristics! It has

turned out that his original idea that our older son had Aspergers,

turned into a diagnosis of PDD. Thanks for nothing doc. FYI, this

same doctor vaccinated my sons, so he had plenty of incentive to down-

play our fears.

Aspergers is not such a bad thing? Well, maybe the pedi ought to

look into whether or not these Aspie professors have a lot of Gi and

other health problems, too, before he declares that it isn't so bad.

The 6th grade boy with Aspergers that I work with is on all kinds of

meds for his ASD and his colitis and his seizures... I would say this

is not exactly a Martha--It's-A-Good-Thing moment. Being

intelligent and creative and analytical IS a good thing... and you

don't have to have Aspergers to have those traits. You can help an

Asperger person become healthier and they can still keep those

traits, too.

JM2cents! ;-)

We've treated my son biomedically and he retains his intelligence

level and his personality level. If anything, it makes him easier to

USE his intelligence in a productive way (he takes advanced math

class in his school) and it makes his personality come through

(without the anxiety issues that he used to have).

I agree with Merrywbee! Aspergers may not be a bad thing in the eyes of your pediatrician however in the life of a teen having the intelligence but lacking the social skills, etc. may lead to frustration, depression, drug abuse, alcoholism, self inflicted violence, social violence, criminal behavior and even suicide. All this on top of the chronic stomach distress, bowel problems, seizures, etc. I totally disagree that the older professor types who are labeled aspergers share the same disorder as the children getting that label today.
