in AL: TTFD

April 24, 2005

This is GREAT news, and so confirming for me. I have been struggling with

whether or not to chelate with my son, who has improved so much already on

nutrient supplements he was deficient in per testing. Once I added selenium and

glutathione, the improvements were nearly immediate, and SO wonderful! He isn't

recovered, yet, but my gosh, the difference in him is amazing. Others that see

him do not realize there is anything " suspicious " about him--they do not realize

he has autism. We, of course, can tell, but it's so great to have strangers not

know that there is anything out of the ordinary! Anyway . . . as I continue to

trudge down this path, seemingly along, as my DAN! doc isn't as flexible with my

decisions as I'd appreciate, I am seeking to learn more about TTFD. Can you

tell me how you used it, where you got it, and what standard dosage is? I

realize each child is different, etc. but I am very interested in learning more

about TTFD. I did a quick search on the internet, but couldn't find anything

too definitive. Thanks so much . . .

Just my .02 here on the DAN! approach but my son is recovered and we

did not use chelating agents. Dr. McCandless recovered him with

nutrients and with TTFD as a natural detox aid. We used many

nutrients per his testing and GSH, TTFD etc to help his body begin

to function properly so he could naturally detox. From many parents

I have heard that their DAN! doctors also follow this path first. I

believe that the individualized program of nutrients was key for my

son as a tool to get him metabolically balanced so that he could

have a shot at detoxing naturally. I think it is different for every

child so no approach works for all but this seems to be used widely

and key to progress for many I have met and spoken with in the last

2 years.

All the best,
