Re: Police Raid PA Chelation Doctor's Office

And their point is?????? do you know how many people die during open heart surgery... are we supposed to put every surgeon in jail? LiaSee what's free at AOL.com.

I'm confused, and this story on this website isn't doing

much to clarify for me what exactly happened here.

It was my understanding that the drug that this doctor used,

while similar in name to the chelating agent that is commonly used to chelate

mercury in autistic patients, was not

the same drug. Yes, he used the wrong

drug. But not just the wrong drug for

treating autism according to the traditional mainstream medical establishment.

He used the wrong drug to chelate mercury in autistic individuals, according to

most biomedical practitioners. Didn't

he?

They keep referring to the use of disodium EDTA, and EDTA,

by Kerry, and saying that this is what caused the boy's death. And they seem to be using the terms interchangeably.

Is disodium EDTA different from the

chelating drug used to chelate mercury in autistic patients?

Yes, he used the wrong drug completely. What

he used is not for chelation. It was a medical error. It happens every day,

in every state. I believe this case will be pushed by the pharma companies and

the AAP. Bastards.

I guess that is to get more publicity for the 'damaging 'effects of this therapy.

Keep milking any situation to get the most mileage out of it!

Everyone will be hearing just how bad and risky that chelation is.

Police Raid PA "Chelation" Doctor's Office "He gave the wrong drug in the wrong dose and he gave it the wrong way."By C.

No, of course not. But this doctor used the wrong drug and administered it the

wrong way,

from what I've been reading. That's a malpractice suit if I ever saw one. In the

least. It's up

to the prosecutors if they decide it's also a criminal matter.

However I hope that this doesn't become a witch hunt against all DAN doctors

that practice

some form of chelation. The majority of children receiving chelation (which is

medically

warranted) do very well in a carefully-monitored protocol.

To put it in perspective, 300 children have died after receiving

Prevnar injections, according to VAERS. I think the number is about

the same for flu vaccine given to patients of all ages. Those are

numbers for just two vaccines, and as we know vaccine injuries are

grossly under reported.

Exactly and the media needs to be made known of the finer points of

this. It was a med error. period. AND I am tired of hearing people

say " chelation " for autism. My child has heavy metal toxicity based

on lab results and THAT is why I chelate him --autism or not.

--also in this case the med was pushed quickly into his body, not

slowly dripped... though, I am not sure slowly dripping it would have

saved his life, it still would have pulled Calcium out of his body.

I know I am preaching to the choir, but I am so sick of this story

being twisted to their liking.

Let's change the name from autism to metal-induced neurological

disorder. MIND.

I think as more evidence comes out against mercury and we get closer to

the June VICP hearings which will be made public and create more shame

for the CDC and Pharma, we can expect pharma and those that are

responsible for the mercury mess will attempt to pour on the

disinformation to try to save their behinds.

I don't think anything to do w/autism can be explained simply. I

would start by picking up your copy of Evidence of Harm check the

index: Vaccine Court and read.
