A question for Dana ...about Copper chelation

[Guest guest]

We are going to start chelating our son in the near future, as soon as

we have done all of our research. I know I read somewhere that you

MUST chelate copper before mercury and I was wondering if you could

lead me in the right direction. Thank you also for your extraordinary

website, it is full of so much needed information and links. We will

be keeping our son on enzymes while doing this but will continue to

keep him gf/cf/sf as we do not want to throw any more variables into

the picture. The whole idea of chelation scares me but the idea of

this horrible poison inside of my 3 year old is terrifying and we

firmly believe if it is not removed he will continue to suffer and be

a prime host of all sorts of horrible things as he gets older. We are

thankful for the enzymes as they are really making a difference but

feel as I said the other day that they are masking the underlying

problem. I do however feel that the enzymes are extremely important as

they help to heal the gut and somewhat bring some normalcy to the body

so that chelation may be a little less stressful on my poor baby's

system. I know you have referenced many sites to help but any

additional words of advice will be greatly appreciated and that goes

for everyone on this board. I will let you know when we officially

start. Thanks Patti
