Thanks Kerry you'll find some posts about IV chelation here: /files/ANDY_INDEX look in the section called something like " steady bloodstream level of chelators and " bad " protocols " . There is a little clump of posts about IV DMPS. You might also want to read http://www.dmpsbackfire.com/default.shtml This is a website devoted to the dangers of chelating with DMPS, which I think means IV DMPS. best wishes, Moria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 24, 2002 Report Share Posted February 24, 2002 I know a woman who is using IV DMPS chelation because she can't tolerate oral DMSA or DMPS. She finds the oral route causes too much irritation in the bowels, and she generally feels better using the IV DMPS. [ ] IV CHELATION I am interested in learning more about IV chelation.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2002 Report Share Posted February 25, 2002 Go to Dr. Fudenberg's site .You should be able to find him under search. He is an immunologist that has credentials an arm long. He is also a member (or was) of the National Institute of Health. He states that autism IS CAUSED BY THE VACCINES and goes on to dictate which vaccines cause which type of autism and the appropiate chelation protocol.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2002 Report Share Posted February 27, 2002 My son and I both did several rounds of IV DMPS and found it to be very effective at removing metals with less side effects than we had on oral chelators. You do want to be sure that the doctor monitors you very carefully when going this route (just like with the oral route) as some people have had some negative reactions to it. Also, DMPS does not cross the BBB so you need to follow up with some oral chelation to pull metals from the brain. Gaylen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 I haven't heard of anyone on this list doing chelation this way. We mostly do either oral or transdermal. With few exceptions we all do dosing that is 3-4 hours apart for 3 days and then resting for a few days between rounds. I found a website one night that was warning of the dangers of IV chelation when large doses are given. If you are new to this group, look in our archives. I may be wrong but I would be extremely wary of a doctor who thought you could just give bolus doses of chelating agents. We give the doses close together because as you pull the metals out of the body there needs to be a constant amount of the supplement to get it out of the body. Without this the metals will be pulled but only reabsorbed by the body causing harm. This happens anyway with the 3/4 hour dosing but since you aren't pulling out as much there isn't as much to reabsorb. If a large amount of chelating agent is given a large amount will come out of the tissues but since the meds are stopped the metals can't all make it out before it wears off, thus the reabsorption. Please look more into this and consider the DMSA/ALA or DMPS route. We are all having much success with that. We are using the DMSA and ALA and it is going really well.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 For better or for worse, more and more DAN! doctors are starting to use IV-EDTA pushes to remove lead. Many parents of Apraxic kids are finding this to be incredibly helpful. This may be what is being referred to. As far as I know, although EDTA is supposed to be a reasonably safe chelator (it is all relative, right?), but I don't remember it ever really being discussed here, though I have not searched the archives....

Usually done with DMPS. It is an extreme example of a dangerous protocol. You can read DMPS backfire if you want to get scared out of your wits. http://www.dmpsbackfire.com/default.shtml I think it is the method/dose/timing that is the problem.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 This won't be much help, but on another list someone posted their story--one year of DMSA/ALA with no improvement but then big improvement with IV EDTA. The post stuck in my mind because it was the first time I'd read about successful IV chelation (I'd only read plenty of horror stories before that). It also stuck in my mind because obviously lead was a huge issue with that person, and my ds has lead problems. It may have been the ABMD list. Perhaps someone with a better memory can confirm/deny that and you could make contact with that person Rima. Anita > > Our new DAN recently started doing IV chelation.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 There has recently been significant discussion regarding this on the CK2 listserve. A number of parents have seen apparently remarkable results where they had not been able to move forward with other chelation methods before. They attribute this to the lead. There are other forms of EDTA chelation, including suppositories (Detoxamin) and Bio-Chelat. Bio-Chelat is supposed to be very slow, but you can read about it at a number of websites. There is also a Detoxamin website that you can find if on google. According to my reading (of other list serves), using Detoxamin suppositories for four days has yielded the same positive results as an EDTA push (which appears to be the IV everyone is discussing, but it only takes a minute or two). This seems to have been most beneficial for kids with apraxia/low tone, etc. If you are on that list, you can search the recent archives. I posted a number of questions about all of the different forms of EDTA chelation for lead (my son has apraxia...) and not one person had anything bad to say about the IV. Still scares the daylights out of me, but that is what happened. Hope this helps. Anne > > > Our new DAN recently started doing IV chelation. Is anyone here > > > chelating this way?

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 I doubt if there are any studies in that regard. All I can tell you is what I have read of other kids'/parents experiences, understanding, as we all have to, that there are times we see what we want to see because we care for our kids so much. That said, I read some pretty compelling testimonies about the positive effects of EDTA and apraxic kids. It's kind of the new rage in the DAN! doc. community (much like b-12 shots were which, I must say, have made a noticeable difference for my son). I think Dr. Usman was really the first to be doing it. Of course, it all needs to be examined carefully..... There are good messages on CK2 on this though, and a number of parents (me not included) who have done this, whether in the suppository or IV form (haven't heard much about oral EDTA except for Bio-Chelat.... Wish I could be of more help. Oh yeah, I think on this list serve as well as on CK2 someone posted a response they received to a series of questions they posed of Boyd Hailey and he thinks generally that EDTA is a very safe chelator. If you search the archives for EDTA it should come up. I would honestly consider the Detoxamin if I weren't dealing with such a history of constipation in my son, and thus suppositories.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 After several rounds of oral chelation, my son and I switched to IV. This was a few years before the DAN folks started chelating. I choose to switch because I had a gut feeling that the DMSA wasn't being absorbed as well as it could be due to our gut problems. While I have read the negative reports on the DMPSbackfire site and agree everyone should proceed very cautiously, those I personally know who have done chelation through IV have only experienced positive effects. In fact, my son and I experienced far less negative " healing crisis " type effects with IV than we did with oral (which we also did for another year after completing 9 rounds of IV). We were very careful to remineralize afterwards and our doctor ran regular blood and urine tests to ensure that our bodies could handle and were handling the chelation properly. We were mainly dealing with arsenic and mercury but also both had some lead and nickel along with a few other toxic metals. My son only used DMPS but I also had two EDTA infusions. The DMPS worked much better for me as far as removing metals. Gaylen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Gretchen, It depends on what you consider "luck". There are many people (not implant victims alone) who have had EDTA chelation therapy that have cleared up heart disease for them. You can read about them in books such as "Forty-something Forever". It really depends on your heavy metal load and the specific chelating agent you use, as well as the health care practitioner's knowledge in properly utilizing chelation therapy, as to whether or not you are going to have "any luck" with it. There are dangers associated with using the wrong chelating agent, so it is not something I would enter into lightly. I had chelation therapy, but only the DMSA pills which were chosen because of the mercury load I tested positive for. Lab tests showed the mercury was removed. I have not seen very many women discuss using chelation therapy with any success on this group....certainly not enough to recommend it as a way to attain healing from breast implant exposure....though IF platinum is a huge issue, then chelation therapy may be one of the best ways to remove it. The key is to know if you have a platinum issue or not.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Gretchen, I did all three, urine Challenge test, blood and a hair analysis by Doctors Data. You can do the hair analysis from Doctors Data without having a doctor order the test. All three of my test, gave me three differet results. Go figure! I did not have a good experience with chelating....but I may try it again. If I do I think I will ask Patty where she got the DMSA. I used something with both DMSA and EDTA in it ...as well as d- penicillamine which is awful stuff. ! > > > > i wonder if anyone has had any luck with this? > > > > -- > > gretchen > > > > > > ------------------------------ > > Ahhh...imagining that irresistible " new car " smell? > > Check out new cars at Autos.<http://us.rd./evt=48245/*http://autos./new_c ars.html;_ylc=X3oDMTE1YW1jcXJ2BF9TAzk3MTA3MDc2BHNlYwNtYWlsdGFncwRzbGs DbmV3LWNhcnM-> > > > > > > > > > > -- > gretchen > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 When I had heavy metal testing done, I had a hair analysis. I wonder if they can analyze your hair to see when you were healthy and when you got sick somehow. It would be an interesting question for a lab since your hair grows so slowly. Perhaps they could test the end of your hair and the hair closest to your scalp for comparison.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Ionic Oasis has a source for heavy metal tests via hair analysis. . . Check this page; http://www.ionicoasis.com/facts.htm Presumably, one could test before and after using the foot baths to see if the heavy metals are gone.
