Re: Chelation

[Guest guest]

Transdermal chelation just isn't that effective. IVs and/or

suppositories seems to bring on better metal pulls. DMSA and DMPS

suppositories are scripts. You can buy EDTA over the internet

(detoxamin). I chelated my then 2 yr old with transdermal DMPS for

14 months with no results. The kids need regular (every 2 or 3

months) liver and kidney blood tests.

We are in the same boat. We did transdermal for several months w/no results.

Our DAN is now recommending IV (TD-DMPS, Glutathion & Vit C combined) at $200

every other week. Our 2nd option is suppositories, which we are probably going

to go with because of cost.

Thanks Mandi, that is great. xSent from my iPhone Not saying it would be more effective but would be less expensive, some kids don;t use DMSA at all. TRy a few rounds and see if you notice a difference Mandi x I have been doing chelation - DMSA and ALA for my son, he is on round 13.I wonder if it is now time to only do the ALA and would this be more effective.
