: Re: chelation

[Guest guest]

I'm very sorry . I just saw this. I wasn't ignoring you.

I think that the best way to determine whether or not you're done

chelating is simply to chelate safely and understand the general

improvement, plateau, improvement, finished pattern Cutler

describes. This is a long process, of course. Generally a couple

years--longer for many. The thing is too, if you do provoke high

levels of metal with IV, what can that tell you about your " regular "

chelation method? I would rather test urine and feces (and hair

every six months) during a normal round of safe chelation to see

what is coming out. IMO, there is no way of knowing what is

actually inside the child. I intend to chelate longer than I think

is necessary, just to be sure.

Hair tests can give us lots of information, including about health,

which is, of course, directly related to the toxicity of our body.

But also, hair tests can show what is being excreted over the long

term.

I can understand wanting to use more aggressive methods of chelating

when nothing else is working well. However, if chelation was

working well for your child, maybe it would be best to simply

continue that way. You stopped because of a test, not because of

lack of results, if I'm interpreting what you wrote correctly.

As to the regression stories. Many of them are on the chelation

lists: CK2 and the adults lists. Unfortunately, these lists aren't

open like the autism treatment list. I have not saved post numbers

for that reason: we aren't allowed to forward. There are also many

regression stories at autism treatment but not from IV if I'm

remembering correctly--just from other risky protocols. Of course,

many people don't attribute the regressions to the IV itself. They

say other things are involved: ammonia, lack of minerals, etc. But

IMO, IV's simply should not be the first choice for chelating. They

should be the last choice.

I hope this might help.
