Guest guest Posted June 11, 2002 Report Share Posted June 11, 2002 Truba - A good yahoo group which discusses chelation extensively is " Autism-Mercury. " There are many parents on this list with similar questions. Overall, there are not many posts that scream " HELP - WHY DID I DO THIS? " as the children start the chelation process. There are some " WOW's " from parents who's children never spoke before (how wonderful!) and probably more comments regarding small steady gains noted in their children. Some don't see much happening, but I think this is just the case of autism and how different are children are. Most have toxicity though. No doubt once you see your lab results! My son is also a patient of Dr. Holmes. We have not chelated yet because of her " uneasiness " to do this with him because he has made very good improvements without it. I don't know how your child is doing now at age 7, but as she told me " using DMSA and ALA on a child with classic autistic symptoms and especially who is non-verbal is a no-brainer decision. " It is on the higher functioning kids, where you run the real risk of yeast problems when you add the ALA, that is becomes a more difficult decision. There can and is regression - the noticing of more autistic symptoms - as the toxins are being removed but it is usually short-lived and well worth it in the long run. She also is a proponent of something new, called MT Promoter, which is suppose to do the same thing as DMSA and ALA without the yeast problems. I think you will get a lot of information and know what to do after you meet with Dr. Holmes in August. The lab reports will be a real eye-opener! Also, Super Nu-Thera, in and of itself, made my child extremely hyper. After talking to Kirkman's, they thought it was one of the flavoring additives. They make a nu-thera w/P5P capsule which has worked well with us. Message: 5 Date: Sun, 9 Jun 2002 14:19:38 -0600 Subject: RE: Confused? Dr Holmes ph# Wow as in very dangerously hyper. Matt is much calmer and happier just now that I intend to be very careful with any new supplements as you can imagine. I do not doubt that Matt is toxic, I was just wondering what to expect from chelation. I would be willing to do it if there was a chance for any great improvement because we still have so far to go.....Truba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
