Guest guest Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 IV's are considered the most efficient and fastest, but suppositories are a very close second, ahead of oral and far ahead of transdermal. If your child(ren) accept the suppositories all right, this is less intrusive and less expensive, and is probably preferable for little guys who don't like the IV's much. For older kids where suppositories may not be appropriate, I would tend to go for the IV's if I had a DAN! doc who would do them. Unfortunately there is no set time for chelation - we usually say 6-18months, but the older the child the longer it takes, and every child is different.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 What area do you live in. Some of us might know a doctor in your area who does IV's. I got lucky and have a great DAN clinic just half an hour away that does IV's and has a hard chamber HBOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 --- I live in Maine. I do have a group of MOMs that would like to do IVs but so far we have not connected with any one. Any input would be great. In csb-autism-rx , " Micci_Rog " wrote: > > What area do you live in. Some of us might know a doctor in your area > who does IV's.
