You may consider boosting your son's liver function to handle the detox process

with more energy and efficiency. While there are many herbal products, the best

one I have seen is a combination of cynarin [from artichoke] and sarsaparilla

combo. Skin conditions usually resolve when hepatic function returns to optimal

capacity.

Looks like you are over-joyed at the results so far!

Here's the positive things we've seen during and (mostly) after the

last 3-4 rounds: Our son started writing! the alphabet, short words,

and numbers 1-10. This floored us as he'd never written anything by

himself before. He writes equally well with both hands. He's started

responding to smiles from us, returning a smile, and his facial

expressions are just more " there " . He's started eating several new

fruits and vegetables (including lettuce!). We thought we'd never

see

the day, since he's been mostly a (GF) toast and water boy for quite

a

while. He's working so hard at processing what we say to him, and

mostly succeeding at 2 step requests. And, finally, he's trying to

imitate speech! (Imitating on request and spontaneously) He's had

terrible problems with apraxia, and we're going to have a long road

to

help him catch up his expressive language, but we think he's going to

be OK. I can't even write those words without getting choked up,

because we really didn't think so until recently. If you're just

starting out with chelation, please don't give up or rule it out, the

results can be so incredibly worth all the work. In fact, it has

stopped seeming like work to us now, we just look forward to

starting

a new cycle because he's progressing so well. Sleep? Who needs it.

Anyway, on the negative side, he's tired during the chelation, and

for a day or so after the cycle ends. During cycle 6 we saw the

return

of an old enemy, the circular red chest rash (like ringworm, but not

raised or scabby). We hadn't seen this rash since he was an infant.

(at 2 weeks, 4mths, 6mths). We've seen more frustration, but only

what's to be expected because he's trying so hard to talk. He's

learning to speak English " foreign language " style, but without a

first language to compare it to. I'm very proud of him.

That's about it for negatives. Gavin's been taking (extensive)

supplements since he was 2.5, and I feel this has somewhat " prepped "

him for the chelation.

Thanks to everyone who shares information and ideas on this list, it

has helped us out enormously. Good luck everyone!
