heavy metal lead and convulsions

September 28, 2010

Hi colleagues,

Bear with me - my question needs some pre empting of patient history.

16 yo female that I've been treating since winter 2010 -chief complaint -

convulsions that started 1 month after the last Gardisil immunization (in the US

it might be called something different, but its the HPV vaccine). The

convulsions were quite different when they started compared to how they are now

because of course we've intervened with natural remedies. When they started

they were frequent - daily, sometimes more than one a day with the basic picture

of belladonna and cuprum (we used those remedies initially with a great shift).

Now the convulsions occur every 9-10 days but they occur in a cluster. There

isn't any particular aura now. However they are now very violent - she doesn't

recall anything, her body is blazing hot, and the convulsions are so intense

that she is very sore and dislocates hips and shoulders. We suspected some

heavy metal toxicity - so we did a doctors data urine toxins and essential

elements test. She was high in lead - extremely high. Everything else is fine.

For the essential elements she is high in Cu, low in Mb. She is anemic which

follows that potentially lead is the cause of the anemia.

So I'm looking for some guidance on the next step. I'm not sure that I want to

get into oral chelation - if there is another way to get lead out of the body

I'm game, but maybe oral chelation is the only way.

We have done a lot of liver and kidney drainage, tried to reduce EMF, supported

adrenals, BTGs, and I've used single remedies here and there to address the

convulsion 'picture'. She doesn't sleep well and sweats a LOT. Its better, but

still part of the case.

I am desperate to help this young girl. She is highly intelligent and such a

gem of a person. Yet, conventional medicine has severely let her down. They

think the convulsions are psychiatric in nature, which I think couldn't be

further from the truth.

Thanks in advance for the help, clinical pearls and expert guidance,
